Wallaby
One of the most thrilling things in Sun and Moon was when they finally bit the bullet and created a koala Pokemon. The slumbering Komala ticked off a prominent box on a lot of people’s wish lists, but many of its Australian brethren remain tragically unrepresented. Between the hideous Kangaskhan and the bizarre Breloom, we’ve technically got kangaroo Pokemon at our disposal, but they’re not nearly as marketable as they could be.
So that’s why a wallaby Pokemon is a must. Both smaller and more cuddly than their more famous marsupial cousins, wallabies remain criminally anonymous in popular culture as a whole. You’ve basically got Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Life, the Australian men’s rugby team, then bupkis. Make it a normal/fighting type to pay homage to its powerful kicks, and churn out merchandise to your heart’s content. Crikey!
