>>27938950When people say "overdesigned" what they really mean is the design is too busy or too noisy.
What "overdesigned" really means is the object's so obviously inspired that it doesn't leave the consumer any room to analyze it.
Garchomp works as a pokemon because it's not just a shark. It's a land shark with ties to various kaiju. Mega Chomp's scythe hands could be a reference to mantises, or maybe it's based on a lesser known costume monster. Who knows?
Meanwhile, we have pic related. And I see this issue in almost every fakemon; the artist wants a pokemon based off an animal or an object with nothing more or nothing less added. This leads to their design being boring and unsubtle.
