>>43068363The hands being Looney Tune doesn't change that they aim for it being a heel type wrestler, which includes exaggeration. Inteleon being a stick because it's a lizard doesn't change that they go for a closer ikemen design, which lends it more to a "cooler" design. Emboar is confirmed comedic but at best it's just because its fat, but even then the fat still gives it presence as an absolute unit you don't want to find in the woods one fine night lest you become faithful.
With Greninja it isn't just the tongue. Its eyes lend it to show emotion, which serves as a form of "gap moe".
