Well now that these are officially out I think it's safe to talk about them. These designs are incredibly weird and I still don't know if I like them very much. I get they're supposed to look like Arceus and their main attributes are obstructed (throat and arms), but I dunno man
@dayofpi My biggest (and honestly only) problem with its design are the way its fur transitions to leaves on its arms. It looks so flat and unnatural, like it just put some wrist sleeves on lmao. I love your redesign so much how it incorporates the sticks and the orange more too 👌
And last, but not least, we have Zorua! Just like it's evo, the differences they made aren't too major, but they certainly did not have to be to be great. On top of that, it's a normal/ghost type, a brand new combo we haven't seen yet! One of the best variants for sure
I'm a big fan of what they did with Arcanine here. The black and redish-orange work very well together and the overall shapes used convey the elegance and harshness of Arcanine perfectly 👌 Still the big lovable dog it's always been!
This is another one I'm still a little iffy about. Pokemon designs usually have 3/4 main colors to them, but Hisuian Lilligant here has maybe 6 or more colors to it (including the gradient bits). It can feel cumbersome and over-designed to me. The shapes are nice though
They did it, they made Stantler even weirder...or should I say, Wyrdeer? 🥴 Stantler deserved it for sure and they definitely did it justice with this evolution. It really makes you wonder why base Stantler wasn't already psychic type
And when you evolve this Basculin, you get Basculegion! Another new favorite Pokemon of all time to me. They took a regular bass and made it into a ghost behemoth! It's just so cool and even has a whole different look depending on gender!
