>>28813901Because it's fucking hideous.
I'm in a bit of a minority, in that while I would prefer otherwise, I dont actually give much of a shit if it's Fire/Fighting, and I don't give a shit if it's bipedal or not, so long as the design is good.
This thing fucking sucks. I'm hardly that critical of Pokemon designs as is, I generally try to see the good in them, but god damn this thing straight up looks like it was drawn by an amateur.
The sassy sausage fingers, the arms and body lacking any form of definition despite being based on a humanoid frame, the ugly plastic fire belt thing. I mean, look at Machamp, Machamp did a wrestler thing, and it's body looks fine, why can't this thing at least try? Also the fire belt thing is very "Diggersby".. in that, just because you can make something work, you have to ask yourself "should I?". A piece of it's body that launches fire when it humps is just stupid as fuck.
