>>41737127I get what you mean, and I'm feeling the same thing with pokemon having facial hair.
Very rarely does it work, and it often just comes off as "haha wouldn't it be funny if this pokemon had a MOUSTACHE XDDD how wacky". I've noticed it becoming more popular with newer mons. I think Gigantamax Kingler is a great design that's completely ruined by its bubble beard, it's hard to suspend your disbelief so hard that you think the frothing bubbles just coincidentally form the shape of a beard.
