What liberties?

Mega evolutions, which now seem to have been shoved under a rug or something.

Z moves too, which will probably end up having the same fate as mega evolutions, pushed to the side and ignored from next gen onwards.

Regional forms, for the most part I like these, but Diglett/Dugtrio... WHY? That`s a massive liberty right there!

Up until and including gen 5 Pokemon may have been a fantasy world and all but it at least followed some sense of logic. There was a reason to things, what reason is there for suddenly finding that a bunch of Pokemon can temporarily evolve in to a mega version with some special stone, or that waving your arms about like a weirdo would make your pokemon use an ultra powerful move, or that a tropical variant of the Diglett line would have blonde hair, seriously, WTF with that one?

The "hair" is based off of Pele's Hair. That's why Dugtrio and Diglett have it. It's a nice obscure nod to something you see in Hawaii. Thin yellow strips of fiberglass that resemble blonde hair. Nothing odd about it hell, I knew about it before Dugtrio's Alolan form
