>>26966777EXACTLY! It's supposed to be a "blast shield" type of pokemon by putting it's arms in front of its face and allowing it to absorb ddifferent types of explosions. But when it does it still has all of this empty space exposed? Spiky shield itslef look absolutely autistic from a design standpoint. Also it's arms and legs are disproportionate to its body, and the color scheme is atrocious. (Although the shiny does fix this problem). That being said I think all the Kalos starters final evolution s are quite unappealing. delphox's ear hair is repulsive and the tounge scarf on Greninja is off-putting as well.
