It's not about whether or not if the middle evos are supposed to look like the final evolutions. There's plenty who don't.
>Dewott>Quilladin>Combusken>Grotle>Wartortle>Hell even BraixenIt's more about whether or not the ideas are there. And in this case they clearly are.
Dartrix - Clearly has Robinhoots themes incorporated. It hides its sharp feathers in it's wings. Like how Robinnhoot clearly hides arrows in his wings. Also it seems to based on a dart thrower, and the next obvious step up from a dart thrower is an archer in this case.
Torracat - Look at it, it's a spitting image of Luchalitten. Plus, read its description on the official website. Like I said the idea is there.
Brionne - Same with Torracat. It's basically Poppmaids precursor. Hell it's even known as the POP STAR Pokémon. And what are pop stars predominately known for? Singing. What is Poppmaid? A fucking pop star, siren, mermaid thing.
