If art is 100% subjective, you can never improve at anything. The image on the left is just as good as the one on the right. The artist isn't improving anything - he's just drawing in a different style. Everyone can be a master of character design because they can just claim that it's all subjective.
Do you understand the problem with this mindset? Just because one person out there might legitimately like Alolan Persian doesn't make it a good design. It is objectively bad.
>>29636840A mimic doesn't have to be a chest.
A mimic just has to fool the player by luring them into thinking it's a valuable object, and turns out to be a monster. Voltorb was designed for this purpose. If the graphical limitations of the Game Boy were better than what they were, it's likely Voltorb wouldn't exist.
>You've never seen an actual mimicScroll up a few posts. I posted a mimic, the Big and Lil' Boxers from Chrono Cross. It's a generic RPG trope.
