>>43842600Would fit right in with Hoenn's mons quite well I say. I can't analyze Pokemon design as well as some on here, but I think minimal extra details like the purple line across Mienshao's stomach falls in with the Gen 3 design process.
Popularity wise I'd say it would be pretty well liked, and would rival Breloom for a cool Gen 3 fighting type that isn't all buff and/or muscular.
Copperajah in Gen 4.
