>>28201191Alolan rattata is an evolutionary adaptation via divergent evolution, or speciation.
Being hunter by the a daiurnal species forced Rattata, a Daiurnal species, to adapt and become nocturnal. Being nocturnal requires night time camouflage, and the fur tufts on it's face are clearly an adaptation to it's new life, and rivals. If anything, I'd say the "Mouse-tache" Guards the Eyes better in scrapes with more toothy attackers, and having whiskers set bellow the eye doesn't aid night time navigation, put 'em up front and feel what is up front, not already too close to sensitive eyes and ears.
It's not that bad, but everyone can have their own opinion.
