>>50325073The art style is dead on to modern Pokemon. More abstractly, it also nails the modern Game Freak design philosophy of being worse than what came before it; this fucker makes Incineroar and Galar anthro jobmons look like 10/10 beloved classics. Other posters raise points questioning the validity of the art book style presentation, and while I think they make sense, I also think it also feels like coping, because we're all hoping that faggot crocodile and his big gay "haaaaay guyyyyyyyz" mouth is just a cruel joke. I too am desperate for this not to be real but it's 2022 and all forms of entertainment are in decline.
And to think: Gen 10 is going to be even shittier.
