>>36633061I feel like this kind if thing happens because people are unable to conceptualize past a Pokémon’s first stage: Most if the fakemon for Litten evolution just make them large Littens instead of becoming their own Pokémon. Making something like another 4 legged kitty is just outright ignoring Torracat already has a wrestling theme in that its fur makes it look like its wearing a wrestling singlet.
To not expect a bipedal cat as a final evolution is pretty much ignoring its Pokedex entries as well
>It boasts powerful front legs. With a single punch, it can bend an iron bar right over.It flat out does not make sense for a legged cat to be able to punch unless it stands up to use physical attacks like in its concept art. The natural progression of standing to attack is to evolve into a Pokémon that always stands up the way Incineroar does.
