so in Sun & Moon, wild Pokemon will call for help, turning a 1v1 into a 1v2. It can be annoying, but it's kind of a neat feature! I almost wish that all wild battles were 1v2, it would make battles more interesting. But, when Corsola calls for help, there's a chance it'll get a Mareanie, which proceeds to attack the Corsola! That's really cool, because in the pokedex Mareanie is Corsola's natural predator and stuff.
But it's also annoying, because it makes this snaggletoothed bugger rather hard to find. Like many of the new Alola Pokemon, actually. A lot of 5% encounter rates. It would be easy to run through the game and hardly see any of the new Pokes, which seems... strange? Shouldn't they be the centerpieces, and then the nostalgia-bites are for the dedicated fans who can get a nice surprise if they look hard enough?
eh, I'm getting off track. Mareanie reminds me of a jello mold, more than any actual underwater creature. It suffers from the looks-like-a-Finding-Nemo-character syndrome, but I like the colors. Commitment to the L O R E and a unique design redeem it.
Overall: 6/10
Also when Cubone calls for help, a Kangaskhan may come. GF is feeding the rumors.
