>>31348569Charmeleon is just a larger more menacing Charmander so few people set standards for what the final form could've builded up. And a "winged fire lizard" is guaranteed to be a popularity hit as it envokes the feel of fire-breathing dragons without being a dragon. I will admit though Ivysaur is the only Kanto middle stage that actually bridges the transitional gap their evolutionary lines.
Wartortle is based on Minogame, a turtle that can survive for about 10,000 years(the pokedex indicates this). It's tail not only resembles an oceanic wave, it's also based on the seaweed that the minogame's tail is made out of. I don't know if it's ears and tail are even fluff, I always assume they were made of foam if anything which seemed way cooler. Based on Wartortle's direction, it would be more logical to evolve into a Water/Psychic wiseman turtle than "ebin badass shell bazooka's baby!"
>inb4 Cool/Badass > Interesting/LogicialThat does not save Blastoise from being a "consistent" design though. If were talking about "consistent" designs, Blastoise misses the mark.
