>>48392328This is a really really based design philosophy, even tho I feel like most of the modern designs have gone a bit overboard with it because of how fucking goofy and cartoony they are
But yea a design like Charizard is memorable and lovable because it has those little skeletal arms and fat fucking belly (at least in the original sketches), removing those would make it into some generic fire dragon and would make it a lot less unique, same with tons of other great designs such as Quagsire's goofy arms and Dragonite's face
