>>48516858>its antlers/horns actually look they're made of keratinSo? It's steel type not Keratin. You do realize the first Steel type Pokemon is literally just a giant iron snake right?
>Cobalion looks more like an animal than DialgaAgain, so? Pokemon are not just animals, they are fictional animals that shoot fire, fuse with plants, belong to the ethereal plane etc... Some have no animal basis at all from a physiological point and are purely synthetic like Magnemite.
You seem to have a very specific, constricting definition of what a good Pokemon design is but it excludes a good 50% of them.
I understand that and can somewhat resonate but I fundamentally disagree with the degree in which you take it.
