>>37588164>What is pure headcanon is Primarina impaling itself everytime it hops, since official art shows how all 6 are designed to be on the side of its waist, not on the front.Lol nope. 3D model literally displays the spikes to surround all of it's waist. This thing would be in pain every time it would hop.
>The hair isn't stupid or useless.It is useless, because it's only there to convey a certain aesthetic, and not do anything in regards to battle. It's just there to be used as a dumb accessory and comes from no where when you consider both Popplio and Brionne's designs. Losing your ears for useless thick hair is a terrible evolutionary decision.
>You can't have an effective mermaid design without long, beautiful hair. Yes you can, look at Milotic and Gorebyss, both pokemon that have subtle mermaid motifs, they didn't need long hair to convey their theme.
>The beads around its hair are indeed bubblesAnd where do you think they came from? It's literally Brionne's previous ears which are made from flesh. Also, the beads themselves just fly off when Primarina summons a large body of water, and then....come back? Their effectively useless and serve no purpose other than being a design gimmick.
>but it looks just fine about everywhere else.No it doesn't, it still suffers from skinny forearms and a noodly neck, whether it'd be plushes, card art or other forms of merchandise.
>And the stars are featured in almost every mermaid designShow me where stars are present in Brionne or Popplio. Their nonexistent, and randomly come from no where when Brionne evolves, making it forced. It's unnatural and the design itself comes across as artificial.
