>>18568215It's second form is just like every other secondary form. It only exists to stir up hype in the hearts of kiddies. Sky-Shaymin is the only form that's actually worth what it is.
>>18568222In your opinion it looks stupid, which is subjective. You can say the same about any other Pokemon and it doesn't matter because the circumstances haven't changed. Anatomy, colour schemes and proportion are concepts that can be applied to any design and then criticized. For example, I could say that Raikou is a terrible, terrible design because it has too many complicated details and markings which cluster it up, and it's claws seem large and strange compared to its legs.
Are they valid criticisms? Yes, they are. Does it it mean Raikou is a poorly designed Pokemon? Not necessarily. Whether or not you agree depends on your own opinion, and either way it should be respected, which reinforces the fact that it's ALL subjective. If you're really trying to assert that "Keldeo looks stupid because I said so!" then there's no point continuing the argument.
>If "it's meant to be that way" meant anything then discussing design at all would be a complete waste of time.And what would you suggest? They deviate away from the kelpie concept it's based upon just to make it seem more aesthetically appealing in your eyes? What's the point in making a design represent something when it doesn't even look like what it represents?
