wait--is the underside not flat? Is it quite literally the same as the brim of a hat? If that's the case!! Gah!! I've been doing it wrong this whole time!!! It's not like a witch hat!!! No! I don't want to have to revise the team again!! I'm so tired of staring at Bulbapedia!! - ThreadSky

The team is based off of pokemon that look like they're wearing witch hats!! Or pokemon that will evolve into one.
Misdreavus, lampent and honchkrow was the first three intended for the oc team. I was considering to limit it to 3 as he would be travelling with Lumi (seen on the side) and--

Lumi already has 3 pokemon, two of which are necessary for story reasons and the other one that acts as a way to establish *his* theme. Having to repeatedly draw 6 pokemon is a lot for someone with low art stamina such as myself!!
I could simply replace honchkrow with the emotion pokemon--

the one from galar that violently shuts people up, but a flying type pokemon is necessary for some important plot progressions.
Perhaps it could just... be ignored?
But the more concessions I make, I'll be tempted to do something similar for the rest...
Which isn't a bad thing, but!!

I've been working on this since the beginning of sword and shield's release! And have had to (agonisingly) make the choice to not add regional forms, battle transformations such as mega and dynamax, plan out some small parts of the ecosystem and relationship between pokemon in the food chain--

of which led to my decision to not have paldean pokemon in the region (partially because I did not purchase scarlet and violet, partially because I did not want to rearrange the teams of the gym leaders that I had finalised)...
Anyway, I worry that I'll be tempted into redoing it all.

I think this is a rather minor concern. But with every choice I make in this small idea, I do think about all the possible ways that other related things could be changed too.
I haven't even mentioned the story direction, hahaha!!
Well, there will be regrets either way, so I'll do my best.
