Having strong opinions about Pokémon is almost a requirement to be a part of the fandom — even the most neutral fans can at least vehemently explain why their favorite Pokémon is the best.

These opinions came out in full force upon the announcement of the new starter Pokémon for *Winds* and *Waves*, with much of the discourse focused on one issue in particular: if the precious Pombon would remain on all four throughout its evolutionary line, or stand up on two legs (limbs?) like all of its predecessors except one.
