>>24772972>colour schemeColor scheme was the one thing they did right. Blue/black is an excellent choice for marketing because blue is a pretty neutral base color that appeals to pretty much anyone, and the black only serves to balance it out.
Black/red is one reason Zoroark was doomed from the beginning. Black is a bad base color to begin with because it's associated with malice and doesn't really stand out, and red only intensifies that since black/red is the official edgelord palette; red isn't welcoming or relaxing, it's tough and cool, and that makes a terrible mascot.
Mascot design basically requires you to stand out. Yellow stands out. Blue stands out. Black keeps you in the shadows, and red doesn't do anything to help you out. Greninja was a fairly blatant attempt to 'fix' Zoroark; it's also Dark-type and focuses on trickery, but it's brighter and more welcoming.
