>>32824727In fairness, Aguanaut line was a clusterfuck to design since half the problem was depicting the salt armor in a way where people didn't assume it was water/ice and also depicting a fighting type as well.
That thing went through design hell, but you are right on some of the designs getting through with boring execution of concept. Some of the pokemon were voted in because they had great art or were cool looking, some got in because of interesting concepts.
It's a valid problem but don't forget that it was /vp/-voted through so you're dealing with a great deal of people with horrible taste and no idea what's going on.
