>>19550260A design like this really begs some questions.
I really liked Claydol's design, mainly because given the source material, Claydol didn't end up over designed and stayed simple and direct.
now, if a mega claydol went the full-dogu look, sure it might be right on a few levels,
but it would ruin that simplicity that i liked, and I don't know anything about if jomon people did migrate down to kyushu/hoenn
where as this design doesn't seem to ruin that simplicity as much, sure it's a bit more complicated, but goes for something abstract and alien. I like it much better. besides, claydol is incredibly more alien than those dogu figurines anyway
