>>58451471Nigger, the point isn't that mons shouldn't be based on anything. People complain that wild monsters are themed after human-made objects, occupations, or wear human-styled clothing or haircuts. It's specially infuriating when the designs are clear references of real-life people or other media franchises, because it comes off as really lazy.
This guy
>>58452184 gets it. Good Pokémon designs should be ambiguous monsters, and while Slowbro may take inspiration from real life animals, it's different enough to be its own thing, which is what makes it iconic and great.
Look at the leaked concept art of Legends Galar, coincidentally they're showing a new (beta) form of Slowking, and while it's inconclusive that it is sporting a flesh cheff's hat and flesh cloak, you know full well that GameFreak is not above doing something like that. The game is supposed to take place in the Middle Age Galar and there's a wild Raboot wearing a flesh Adidas soccer track jacket. Kinda retarded.
