>>28944505Why are you comparing two completely unrelated Pokemon? Popplio3 is supposed to evoke idol/performer themes. It's more or a siren than a mermaid.
>>28944345Most starters don't transition well. Who gives a shit about how a design progresses? We're commenting on Popplio3's design, not the evolutionary line as a whole.
It looks like it could move around just fine. It's an aquatic Pokemon. I don't see you bitching that you can use a Seaking outside of water.
>too many different colorsVenusaur has a lot of different colors, yet I don't see you harping on it as a design.
>heart and star motifI don't see any hearts in this image. I see a starfish. That's... one. It's a cute idea of being the hair accessory while still being aquatic.
>face-on profile looks awfulYeah no shit, it's a tiny res and many animals don't look appealing from a frontal view. Look at this eagle.
>it's unoriginalThat has nothing to do with its design whatsoever, and we have had recurring themes all the time. Oh, Oranguru is an ape, but we ALREADY HAVE PRIMATE POKEMON, SO FUCKING TERRIBLY DESIGNED, fuck off
>too busy and too many accessoriesBusy? Seriously? It looks fine. Every accessory it has makes thematic sense.
>87.5% maleGood thing it isn't a human. Seriously, do you bitch at God because female Orb Weaver spiders are stronger and more powerful than males? Does every monster design need to adhere to these rules? It's a goddamn monster, not a human.
>Litten's evo could be a female wrestler, but men don't wear star hairclipsThis is by far the biggest reach I've seen on here. Why are you so adamant about hating this design?
