>>39679483Primarina has the same pinniped-esque stance and body shape as Popplio with the added mermaid elements which fit the sea lion concept of its pre-evos, so it doesn't look out of place to me. I also like Blaziken despite changing so much because I think it made the most sense to do so given the line's concept, but maybe I just got used to it after seeing it this way for 15 years.
Really, just don't do some Obstagoon shit where you turn an animal into a human for no reason and I'll be fine.
