>>36573307>Why does it bulge in the middle?it doesn't. its belly is just bulging out in that specific stance. but if the bulge were to symbolize pregnancy it wouldn't be too out of place since it would fit into the theme of Arceus being both a father and a mother to the creation trio
>Why does its galaxy symbol not even look like a galaxy?You mean the plate? I guess they didn't wanna be too on the nose with the creator god aspects of the design
>Why does it have tip toe hooves?To illustrate its peak pokemon posture
>Whats up with the comet tail and head hair thing?no idea about the tail but a common trait of creator deities in many cultures is a person with long flowing hair so its not hard to see why they would incorporate that into its design. What I do wonder is why the fuck something completely unrelated to Arceus like Darkrai shares said design element.
>Why does it have normal typing?Its the only equivalent pokemon has to a "neutral" typing. personally I think Arceus, the creation trio, the lake trio, the tao trio, Mew, Nebby and Necrozma should've all had the ??? type that was a thing before gen 5 got rid of it
>It barely shares anything with its children.They all share an armored beast motif
>with dragon/X typing? With X being the plate it holds?It being dual type would undermine the ability to change types in the first place
