>>27153057Even to the designers of Pokémon and to many of the people of this board, they can observe the innate facial features and bodily stances to infer the character of a Pokémon. Pokémon with naturally large, gaping mouths, like Exploud and Gyarados will find that they have a very abrasive, aggressive personality. Pokémon with large eyes proportionate to their bodies that tend to remain open, i.e. Smoochum, Poliwag, or Helioptile, imply a youthful, innocent character, while a Pokémon bearing that quality in conjunction to also having a particular arrangement of details and features- or lack thereof- that draw the eyes towards the entire face itself rather than singular parts of it or other features of the torso, limbs, etc., i.e. Jigglypuff or Snivy, signifies a deceptive character whose tricky and / or snide deeds lie within the false assumptions an amateur trainer may devise about their exclusive attention to the face.
In fact, the colorations, specific aesthetic features, arrangements of parts, and the very material that Pokémon are made of can altogether be a very consistent and accurate means of deciphering its type, with that in turn often signifying its character.
