And I never said I was objectively right. Popplio just looked like it was going to evolve into some circus illusionist, master or acrobat, but instead it's a pop singer with circus aesthetic that moves around using bubbles.
And I never said I was being objective or that I was right. Yeah, I'm biased, but I'm not trying to force what I think into people's minds or claiming it's right
Primarina just doesn't FEEL right to me. I can't help but see it as something completely different, both in theme and aesthetically. Its body isn't the same color, the face and eyes feel too different, and it's just not what I'd have wanted from Popplio. On its own, it's still a fantastic design and probably the best thing a mermaid/sea singing pokémon could've been.
And looking for the pic, I read that Primarina really does jump around on bubbles to mock its opponents so I'm already aware I'm wrong from an objective standpoint
