I think it might be better to go with either something related to the culture (like the Hisuian starter forms being based on Japanese things) or something general (like the Galar starters just having jobs kids think are cool and Z-A ones just being normal but with Megas). I'll do some research later and see what ideas I have.

Okay!

I thought the history of a place and how it effects a population's personality is part of culture

I can't wait to see what ideas you get from your research!

I'm trying to think of Abilities for it...

I think Klutz is still a good ability for this version

But not Cute Charm and definitely not Limber

I just don't know what, though...

I'm kind of thinking Stamina

This one is a bit of a hear me out...

So until @UnovanZorua can educate me about better culture, I'm still on my peace or war for variants

So... what if Quaquaval… is a symbol of peace

Sounds weird, but I'm thinking it is clean, always stands tall, and strong

The perfect image of a powerful but peaceful country

I want the wings to be more wing like

Water/Flying

It says that Quaquaval's dances are from foreign lands, so I feel like we can keep the dacing part of it but change it up a bit

I want it to not really be about powerful strikes and plays the long game, dancing around enemies and dealing random strikes in its dance

I don't know, though

Like I said it's a hear me out

I'm not even 100% sure on if I like it or not

I guess it is, but since the story is already focused on that, I think tying it into the starters might be too much focus on one aspect when there's a lot more about the country than just the wars. They affect the region's culture enough by being a big part of the story, so I think we could base the forms on local traditions, folktales, and the like instead, like what the Hisui and Paldea starters do.
