Primeape is a ball of fur, sure, it's a simple design, but it's one that gets the point across. It's a big ball of hate that punches things.
The design is original, but simple.
And people like Scrafty because He's a hoodlum, not a gangster. If anything, people like him not because he resembles a gangster, but because he looks like such a parody of it, and yet somehow still finds a way to not be a joke pokemon.
He's a ghetto Pantslizard, and I haven't met a person who likes him solely because "Gangsters are cool"
His fanbase is based around the fact that he can also solo the entire elite four.
