Torracat is the definition of "awkward middle stage syndrome".

Tepig and Fennekin both had bipedal middle stages to transition into their final evos.

Litten goes from cat to bigger cat to human with a cat head.

Torracat's overall design can stay the same, but it should have been a biped.

But if it had been bipedal. GF wouldn't have been able to ruse that there was a slight chance that Litten3 could have been a quadraped.

>Awkward middle stage syndrome

All middle stages are like this though.

You can argue Litten's line to be among the most uncomfortable ones in their own skin though, regarding mobility, practicability and all.

>First two stages are used to staying in all fours, second one is still barely trying to stand, can't even do one step walking in two
>Sudden transformation, sees itself walking instantly on two feet, barely adjusting itself to its own buffed body, it's a strange limbo in the sense that walking on two is all it's capable of, but at the same time, can barely walk/run and as such, walks/runs almost half the speed of a average Torracat

I feel sorry for it to be honest, desu. I mean, yeah, it got tremendous strength and bulk, but it had to sacrifice its speed in exchange.

>And bend iron bars

I'm trying to have this mental image of a Torracat bending iron bars, but utterly failing at it. How on earth does it even manage to pull that off.

Samurott would have been so much better as a bipedal samurai. I know Samurott can stand, but its proportions make it look silly.
>>31947149
Also Mega Swampert would look cooler if its forelimbs were on the ground.

If Samurott was bipedal(fully-anthro) then how exactly would it be able to charge with it's horn? Its helmet is a shell, which is used as a weapon like the scallops were.

mmmmm I guess. I think I would prefer the legs to be fairly similar to Braxien, they just look like big saggy pants, but they look good on the male version. The "sleeves" look great on the arms. The hair and hate for the female look pretty awkward.

This is just my opinion but I think the helmet shouldn't be its main weapon. I think the horn could be less pronounced. A bipedal one could actually wield the shell blade it has on its forelimbs without looking awkward as hell.
While this picture isn't perfect it is on the right track for me.

Eh, I guess it would've been more consistent transition compared to what we got. But still, being fully bipedal 100% of the time with a pointless horn just doesn't sit well for me. This "samurai" is not even a person either. I mean yes, it would have more amphibious proportions for weapon usage, but with blades that big, does it really need to be a humanoid when samurai themselves don't even have katana's this large? Its seems like a more "beastly" or "specialized" samurai than an obvious humanoid one. Its not even identical to a human when it's not a human to begin with. Is becoming a literal fursuit worth it when you already see people complaining about starters becoming humanoid?

Sorry dude but your argument can be used against yourself mostly. While Samurai swords certainly are not that large, they are neither made of shells. Samurai helmets don't have huge fucking spikes coming out of them either. You can also say the swords are pretty fucking pointless and don't make any sense. Dewott was able to look like an otter and be bipedal without looking like an awkward furry mess. I think they fucked up by making Samurott a weird seal/otter hybrid with a weird fish tail. It is possible to make a starter bipedal without making it look like straight up furry bait.
I think people mostly complain about fire starters always being bipedal more than anything.

>Kanto
Agreed.
>Johto
Cyndaquil's design has more charm, but okay list otherwise.
>Hoenn
Pretty good.
>Shinnoh
Let me guess, Infernape is to "overdesigned" for your tastes? Monferno isn't any better for recycling the "tail on fire" motif from the Charmander family.
>Unova
Perfect. Tepig's evos are the biggest waste of potential by simply making them luchadors and calling it a day.
>Kalos
I prefer Greninja. Tongue scarf is pretty clever and unquie.
>Alola
Not bad. I prefer Torracat for looking more like a housecat(the fire bell on a fire cat is more clever than the fire belt which is obviously a wrestler motiff). Incineroar is awesome on it's own merit I'll admit.

I like it. You could see it's trying really hard to become a wrestle man.

What I don't like is that Torracat was a step towards realism from Litten's cartoony anatomy, but when it evolves it goes back to looking cartoony. Perhaps Torracat should have stayed more cartoony looking, or Incineroar should have gotten more realistic proportions.
