>>29611465>Designs aren't a "subjective matter" [...]I admit, that was nicely put.
But no, I'm not talking about the design itself.
Rather, I'm talking about the viewer's acceptance of that design. Hence the subjectivity.
To be honest, maybe I used the wrong word, but I'm no expert.
Don't get me wrong; you're right in that Alolan Dugtrio communicate the design well, and as far as what they were intending to do, it is good.
But that design were meant to appeal to a wide range of audience. So wide in fact that you cannot have everyone like it.
Barring the trolls, the (very) vocal minority's dislike of that design is in fact valid.
