Just something I've been curious about since that Alola starter thread, what are your thoughts on Primarina's design? Favorite part, anything you'd change, etc. just anything really.
I honestly like every part of its design. It's just how I feel, so I don't mind if other people disagree or something. I don't think it has a "flawless" design, but it is one I really like regardless. Probably the only change I'd want is making its neck and upper arms thicker.
The stars and spikes seem to get the most criticisms, and I definitely agree that the stars make no sense, but is it wrong if I really like them? I love the pink accents and how the sharp edges contrast with the other soft, rounded shapes in its design. I just wish there was a way to make them seem more natural, or just Gamefreak actually giving an explanation for them. The thing about Primarina having "too much details" is something that genuinely confuses me, but I guess that's because of different perspectives, or I'm just missing something; I always thought the design felt weirdly simple in certain aspects, compared to other newer starters(except Delphox). Sometimes I wish Primarina's design had even more frills and bubble pearls, though I guess that'd put off more people. (Not saying any of the criticisms are wrong btw, just talking about my initial thoughts on them)
