>>48446724So you chalk it to "lazyness" despite the fact that the original art work and sprite depict it that way? And out of the vast majority of art work and depiction it has the one in Pokken is the "correct" one? Yes generally even in the anime any character can be drawn different in each scene but generally they try to stick to a certain look. And I'm pretty sure every Pokemon was changed in Pokken since they wanted to go with a fighting game aesthetic. Banda Namco also developed New Pokemon Snap, as well as Pokken, and Gardevoir doesn't look like it does in Pokken. This to me reads like special pleading despite the mount of evidence against it. It's ok to prefer how it looks in Pokken but it's pretty rash to declare that's how the species is suppose to look like.
>This species was always supposed to seem ethereal, yet still disturbingly human.And this is based off what exactly? There's nothing in it's lore that points to this, I don't think there's any interview that even states this and it wasn't even part of the human-like egg group until this very gen. To me this sounds like you are projecting unto a point that's not supported by the franchise.
>>48446795I hear people say this but nothing points to this interpretation. Lore wise there's nothing we associate with elves there, design wise same. To me it's "ears" might be something like Blaziken's or could be fluff, I dunno. People keep saying this but the evidence is, imo, non-existent.
