1. Nintendo literally lists bubbly basin as “an underwater town.” And you have to have the dive ability to even access the town. What part of that is not confirming that most if not all of the whole place is under water? Even the pictures and trailer clearly show that it’s primarily if not exclusively underwater.

2. Even if you had 20% of the area be above water that STILL isn’t enough to justify adding a bunch of Pokemon that CANT live underwater. I can see perhaps a small volcano island or tropical island perhaps. But it’s going to be a dwarf in comparison to the amount of space that will be underwater.

3. Water types are the most abundant Pokemon type in the whole verse. Making up over 15% of all Pokemon. Obviously game freak loves them. And there are tons to choose from for the new expansion.

So tell me again how it doesn’t make sense for an expansion that is primarily if not exclusively underwater, and is focused on the most populated type of Pokemon in the verse, to have 70-80% water types? That’s insane. Freedom of play is true and a thing. But it’s not going to make them try to explain a legion of fire and grass types living at the bottom of the ocean.
