>>28108387>>28108458>>28108714>>28108751I fucked up and forgot to explain. My issue is that the XY battle model makes it look fat and awkward. It looks too much like a plane and not enough like a bird-angel. (Though yes, Togekiss draws some inspiration from planes,)
The sprites are able to show off more detail and reflect that angelic look I really like. Plus it makes it look a lot thinner.
