Hey, even then it's still progress. Think of it like this- I've been working on a story I want to make into a series of some sort for the last four years now, it's been a huge passion project of mine. It's been a slow burn of ideas really, but every day when something new gets developed or I figure out some way to improve the plot or the characters it's a win. Hell, I'm back to the drawing board on it for the 6th time already, but new things develop out of it, so I think every little thing counts.
I do really like the ideas of the Reuniclus and Gothitelle variants. I think the pastels could easily be really aesthetically pleasing.
The pastel goth aesthetic is something I enjoy (although I've never worn it and probably never will), and I love the idea of a regional variant Gothitelle being based on a different sort of goth style. I'm a bit at ends with other changes to make - it'll probably be a pink-white colour and I don't want it to just be a recoloured Gothitelle. I wasn't certain on Psychic/Fairy - I also think Psychic/Dark has its merits, but I don't know if that would really fit well, and since its counterpart Reuniclus is getting a secondary type I want them both to have one.
I actually think for my regional variants I might just use a random Pokemon generator or something to pick out several Pokemon and go from there.
