>>58355405comfy Crystal memories then reinforced by comfy Soul Silver memories and overall Totodile, Croconaw, and Feraligatr have very simple designs that effectively hit that "apex predator monster as your best friend" trope that was in a ton of media I consumed growing up. They're badass swamp crocodilians that lean into elements of dinosaurs, Godzilla, and dragons but are unmistakably their own thing and I think that's neat.
I also like how Feraligatr just looks like a fully grown Totodile built for battle with no gimmicks attached
