>>35448603>And yet Charmander's eye still looks far fucking closer than either of the two new ones.How can look closer if they're blue and even the pupil is different?
>you can't prove something with a false equivalenceWhat? Where's the false equivalence now? You said too that it's a cherry picking, because the salazzle eye looks like a kind of lizard eye. Just like you're trying to say with charmander (which really doesn't look at all), and the other pokémon too. This is cherry picking in the same way, and i'm proving that using the same logic.
>Mudbray has huge cartoony nostrils. Ponyta doesn't.Not really because mudbray is based to a donkey, or little donkey, so he has a large nostril. The legs are related to the design of its evolution, a kind of horse that has the legs in that way. And the ponyta old design isn't even so detailed.
>This isn't a valid comparison if Pikachu's ears and tail aren't trying to look mouse-like to begin with.Dedenne is an electric type too you know. This is a valid comparison if you want to put the realism argument, because if not, then you are even cherry-picking the parts you want to show for proving yourself.
So you have to agree that decontextualizing individual design and choices, and comparing cherry-picked pokémon with this decontextuasilation, is just stupid.
