I was so fucking pissed when i found out that it wasnt eligible to be surveyed. I felt it definitely could have won.

Terrible color scheme.

The concept (grass goat) is too similar to an already-existing pokemon.

A Baphomet-based pokemon is a neat idea, but it shouldn't be grass type, for the above-mentioned reason.

Maybe a psychic or dark type legendary that can switch between flying/ground/fire/water (the four elements) as its secondary type?

Why are there so many people who insist there are no good looking Fakemons? There's half a dozen in those CAP archives. Are they all just buttblasted Karenfags who avoid Smogon?

Auromoth looks pretty neat, it's just horribly balanced.

It was supposed to be sort-of-Legendary, so the stats could almost be forgiven, but the moveset was utter nonsense.

Not always a fan of Yilx's humanoids, but sometimes they're right on the money.

If only she were real... in-game, that is.

I liked this design better, even if it did look like Yilx took an Arrowhead and fused it with an Abyss.

that was designed way before gogoat existed

The concept behind cap16 was "type equalizer" which baphomet's theme of balance fit well for inspiration. I had to make it grass/dark because that was what was voted in. If i were to make it now, I might have chose fairy/dark for it's type.

as for the color scheme, they were a lot more muted when i first made the design. I upped the saturation because i felt it was too grey overall.

I still find it backwards how they decide the Pokémon's stats, moves, ability, and of course, tier, and THEN decide what it looks like. That's usually why the designs are such a forced jumbled mess.

Their goal is too make a functioning mon first, then a desgin.

Through it becomes pretty surreal once a design gets moves and stats which don't fit.

Do they ever actually touch up on their old creations or just shove them in a corner and keep making new ones?

It says something about priorities though.
Suppose GameFreak didn't give Flygon a Mega, not because they couldn't decide what it looks like, but because they couldn't come up with accurate buffs to solidify its place in the asinine metagame blah blah.

But seriously, if they were to dictate a good design and then work stats and the like around that, we'd probably see much more attractive results.

But anon, smogon's priorities are for competitive. Of course they design stats first.

The sad thing is most of the CAPs fail on a gameplay level too, at least the ones that focus on something esoteric like momentum, risk reward, avoiding being knocked out etc. Aurumoth, plasmanta, malaconda, all failures.
