>>56267858He's a spastic gremlin. Giving him a massive prop is, one, just a very uninspired design to begin with
>What if this Pokemon HELD SOMETHING when it evolved????But it also completely fucks with the way he moves; the primary appeal of a relatively simple design.
You either have to make the prop believably heavy, at which point, the spastic movements are completely gone because he's anchored in place.
Or you make the prop cartoonishly light, at which point, it entirely breaks the idea of the new form in the first place.
With one simple change, they downgraded every single aspect of the character.
Just like most megas.
