>>31432551I admire creatively "re-interpreting" pokemon as real animals, even though it seems a little forced sometimes.
A lot of people think Giratina looks kind of bug-like, from what I've seen. It's one of the more awkward-looking ones, to be sure. I think as for Lugia he just wanted an excuse to get its "back-spikes" on it without making it awkward. As for Scyther, it already has some reptile qualities and making it an actual mantis would probably be weirder.
Can't really defend Gengar even though I like it more now considering the nerf.
