The cat fulfilled the overall expectations - it's a serviceable furshit waifubait. I hate furshit and waifubait but still i am able to admit it.
Skeledirge on the other hand tried to subvert expectations and crammed a fuckton of themes - it's a day of the dead mexican skeleton singer crocodile dr robotnic with a flaming bird minion that can also turn into a mic. Sure it's monstrous, and LE QUADRUPED, but it's monstrous in a purely ugly way instead of an edgy way like, Torterra, for example. God, torterra mogs skeledirge so much.
Anyway, that's why i think the cat is better. It delivered the expectations, sure, those expectations were degenerate but that's a different discussion.
Personally, i think we had the worst starters this gen. The final stages are bad, the mid stages are forgettable (only florgato is somewhat ok) and the first stages are not cool enough to keep unevolved.
