>>29286076i agree that the animation could change it. a lot of newer pokemon are designed with animations in mind. something like meowstic from gen6 relied on animation to reveal the full extent of it's design (the ears). i'm just curious to see how this pokemon ties in with salandit's themes.
salandit is designed so that it looks like it is wearing a mask. this evolution completely discarded that design basis. the colors on it's body don't really seem to be anything more than decoration...so i can't understand what they were trying to do with it.
i kind of thought they would move the ribbons to the nose to look like a japanese burglar but that ended up being alola rattata's thing.
i'm glad you like my design thank you.
