>>25060659Eh, you might be right as I'm not knowledgeable with these things. But my personal opinion is that they're doing megas right. I've always thought Megas should just be the same pokemon but with some kind of added "extension" to them. And that extension has to be done in a clever way (example: Lilligant "blooming"). While normal evolutions should show that pokemon "growing" which would show a much more significant change. I've seen a lot of deviant art megas interchange the two which I personally dislike a lot. So I guess this matters to me more than if it matches with Sugimori's art style or design philosophy.
There's a lot of little clever things they added too, like the heartgold symbol on Ho-oh's arison forme.
