>>32352510If it baffles you so much, maybe it will help if I explain my perspective, as someone who hates Delphox.
Let's start from the top. The most obvious thing to hate, the huge ear with huge hair growing out of them. They're unique. No other Pokemon has hair growing out of their ear. But they're disgusting. I hope I don't have to explain why hair growing out of ear is disgusting, but I can if you want me to. Their color doesn't help either. The hair is larger than the face and the red color makes it stand out even more as a piece stuck on face, rather than a part of it.
Then there's the face and chest. Honestly, I'm fine with it. It looks good. The white and yellow color go together well, and there's no unnecessary detail.
Moving to the arms. The fucking color. The dark red. It comes out of nowhere when it becomes a Delphox and covers most of the body. Why? For what purpose? The dark red fur is also too long. The hands look like they're just slapped on top of the fur, rather than being connected to the body.
The body has this color too, for no reason. Then there's those flame marks near the knees. I can understand "why" they're there, unlike the color, but I hate them. They look like patches in clothes and that's ugly. This is the very definition of unnecessary detail.
The entire Fennekin like is a trainwreck. It starts out as a cute baby fox, then it becomes bipedal and curvy. Why? What are they trying to appeal here? And then again, it changes completely in color and shape. It goes from being a curvy fox to a triangle with a head. Instead of following a consistent design, it changes completely with every evolution. It starts out a fox, and becomes a human. More human than Gardevoir, for fucks sake.
I'll ask you. Why do you like it? Fuck the theme. I'm talking about the design. I can explain what part every detail on Blastoise play, aesthetically and in the Pokemon's anatomy. There's no unnecessary detail, just meant to "look good".
