>>15689084>>15689117I still have trouble with understanding how Gallade's features are a design-killer.
For as long as I remember living I have been the kind of a person that takes no time to 'get used to' a given design - be it a toy, a piece of video game design or architecture - if there was some flaw that could not been unseen without accomodation, it was - and still is - a common practice for me to assign it to 'shit tier' and go on to the next one.
I never understood the 'appeal' of Blastoise and its awkward cannons were enough of a reason for me to pretend that whole line doesn't exist.
Emboar's outfit and posture - even more of a design-killer.
Swoobat, Cryogonal and all others with 'can't unsee' bits - instant trash.
Lucario being overcrowded with archetypes of a shallow animu hero from nowhere? Cannot be redeemed, not now, not ever.
Salamence is the only pokemon which I convinced myself that looks well, despite its cardboard axe wings.
Yet Gallade is one of these designs that I was able to accept from the get-go.
