>>49772088no i know its intentional, the powerpuff girls do the same thing. different varieties of the same design.
the difference between the ppgs and the starters tho is that the ppgs are basically just palette swaps with different hair styles, cause theyre a super sentai type deal. its cute that they match. the starters didn't fully commit to them being the same design and because it wasn't fully committed it looks half-asseed and lazy.
theres justttt enough differences in the silhouettes for it to look unintentional to a layman. like, im sure even the person calling me a schitzo in this thread can tell the powerpuff girls were designed as a set and are supposed to look like that. but he'd look at the gen 8 starters, and be able to tell that something is off about them and not be able to place what just because the differences are enough to not be obvious yknow?
