>>53693469That was something that really dawned on me when Sirfetched was revealed.
20 years worth of fanmade evolutions for Farfetche'd and all of them were basically pic related, just a bigger Farfetch'd, maybe with an extra leek or some clothes.
Absolutely nobody thought of anything as clever as a giant leek being split in two to form a shield and a lance. Now granted, Sirfetch'd is a bit of an intentional departure since it's a regional form based on western knights rather than a ronin duck that Farfetch'd evokes, but in terms of general quality, Game Freak blew every fan design out of the water.
