Not to dunk on Incineroar because I don't think it's THAT bad, but compare how the ripped t-shirt barely looks like it's supposed to act as an actual part of its body>Its posing doesn't denote an overt personality despite being a jobmon>It is a fucking EMPEROR penguin so it's absolutely fitting that it'd have some regal shtick >Its crown-beak is pretty inventive fantasy anatomy that doesn't lock it in to being Napoleon.
