>>12609969Trash really? I kind of like the "super stylized hoppy bird" aspect to it. I can already imagine all the merchandise graphics with a row of them, in a lineless art style, marching across in a line.
>>12609954I can say I'm smart too. I think the design is cohesive and cute. Maybe it doesn't appeal to your tastes but that doesn't mean it's not fit to be a pokemon.
Actually, considering my two replies, I think a lot of pokemon are leaning towards "iconic, recognizable" and "graphic design/pop" in their looks lately. They're very much made to have key elements that make them stand out, like Helioptile's ead and ears, Fletchlings face, etc. Not that other pokemon don't do that, but it's very notivable, and I like it.
