>>31707885>the elements used were very cleverThe only "elements used" that make it anything other than a larger Litten would only show up in its attack animations, much like Toucannon. It was incredibly forgettable in and of itself, which isn't really what you want in a starter.
It was also inspired by a shitty "circus" group theme, which was fortunately nothing more than the deluded ravings of idiots.
We already have a quadrupedal big cat for the Fire type, as well as a black-dominant quadrupedal Fire/Dark.
Technically, Houndoom is actually Dark/Fire, but whatever. Incineroar breaks more new ground than Juarfare would, and is a much more memorable design.
