>>22260910It takes a lot for me to legitimately dislike a pokemon design, i can even appreciate some much maligned concepts like Trubbish, Lickylicky, Electrode, etc. Yeah, they might not be the best, but they execute their concept well.
Now Goodra is something that i didn't exactly like at first, but when i scrutinized its design, i grew to actively dislike it. I remember thinking someone else had designed it instead of whoever did the first two stages, seeing how it overlooks many aspects that were central to its design. Of course, this later turned out to be true, but what struck me was that apparently it was Sugimori himself who messed it up. It even falls into the same, cookie-cutter anatomical style of Dragonite.
All in all, Goodra feels like a lazy, rushed way to finish off the Goomy line. And I can't respect that.
Though that Slugfag keeps maddeningly reminding me of it.
