Say what you want about this rotund-faced idiot, but at least it kept the idea of a variant on Persian simple; making it different enough but still keeping it decidedly Persian. This new fat face gives it a slight new spin on the "smug and classy" personality Persian always had, upping the smug into punchable territory.
But this is just the Geodude line with pasted-on ugly black rocks and "iron filings" facial hair (a theme that was already fulfilled by Probopass, where it made more sense since it was a giant floating face and literally all about magnetism). If I approached anybody with the idea to give Pokemon like Golem a fucking beard and moustache, I'd probably get laughed out.
