>>35327859I think this fakemon is just a better jack-o-lantern concept. It’s got some umph and visual interest to it. I think it’s like a cross of Spring-heeled Jack and a Jack-o-lantern iirc, which is a fun design choice. I feel like you’re just trying to make things into Pokémon without being inspired by anything.
Gen 1 designs are fine as time capsules of where Pokémon started, but a lot of them would get shit on the fanbase if they were introduced today.
