>>53246134>actual regional forms keep the silhouette mostly the same and usually only add a new type to the existing one or they'll swap one elemental type for another>Regional forms have logical somewhat realistic explanations for how they exist, like the Pokémon having to compete in the new environment a different way or finding a new food source in the new region that required it to change>Convergent forms are a way to step outside this limit and allow them to make basically regional forms that deviate further from the original because they aren't actually the original form, but they still retain the general body plan and resemble what it was>Regional evolutions pretty much only exist to give evolutions to the regional forms of unevolving Pokémon, but they kind of make sense with the new flavor for the regional form>Somehow every fakemon artist wants to create a mermaid Grimmsnarls, robot Pikachus, real spider Metagrosses and wine barrel Sinisteas because they are so clever and think they understand the design process for these better than GFI'm convinced that anyone who is designing these forms as fakemon artists actually has no fucking idea what they even are or why they exist. They just want to put gills on a Clefable and call themselves a genius
