>>37602064>If GF had the extra time, they would've definitely added Klefki variants where Klefki would've had a randomly generated set of keys much like Spinda's spotsThis really saddens me how it was a perfectly ripe opportunity to make use of randomly generated design aspects. Spinda is a totally forgettable waste of this kind of thing whereas Klefki is pretty popular in comparison and featured in it's own Pikachu short. Guess this goes the same way as say, programming different colour Kecleon; cool shit Gamefreak are too lazy or just cba to get to ever doing.
If not random keys on all klefki, I thought they had a perfect opportunity to have special event Klefki that have unique keys or keychains like the movie one, that give it unique moves maybe. This would have been great.
Klefki is still overall a great design, it just could havs been ever better with a unique keys gimmick. Gen 6 in general is quite consistent in this regard, a lot of really really great designs and ideas, let down by poor or lazy execution. Guess this sums Gamefreak up in general. Stuff like Dragalge, Klefki, Noivern, Trevenant, Hawlucha, Furfrou, Tyrantrum, Aurorus, Xerneas, Yveltal etc. are really stellar high points in monster design in the entire series imo.
