>>45319783I exaggerated a bit to get the point across, but what I meant is that there are more Bounsweets in newer gens, than Oddishes in older gens and that's by design
A lot of the old official and TCG art could have all sorts of Pokemon shown in very different lights
Most newer gens' mons are usually designed with one 'core' aspect in mind (cool, cute, freaky, scary, ugly, badass) and even the newer drawn depictions of older mon tend to strictly focus on the one marketable aspect of each mon's new set-in-stone personality
For example, newer Charizard art would avoid going into something like pic related too often, Charizard's now meant to be vivid and flashy, not serious and menacing
