"Pokémon" should have a World BOSS gameplay.
This is not only Lincoln's opinion, but also the consensus of the development team.
[Kunpeng] is not suitable to be a World BOSS.
This is also a consensus.
When it was still a young Kun, it was always swimming underwater, and the spirit beasts in their early years were basically helpless against it.
By the time it completes its transformation into a Peng, it will fly into the sky, still out of reach for the ground-based spirit beasts.
You can't let Little Kun go ashore and perform a "concrete splash" on the ground, or have the giant Peng land and become a walking chicken, right?
So it doesn't fit in any way.
But during the testing phase, this link could not be missed.
In the end, Lincoln went against the majority and brought out a big fellow, even deliberately hiding it with the Kunpeng, just to give the players a sudden surprise.
And now, his purpose has been smoothly achieved.
And the effect is surprisingly good!
