>>37610383Based. This bit:
>Design-wise, he looks more Pokemon-ish than the other two starters and isn't trying too hard to be something.Is on-point IMO. He feels like he could fit into earlier generations just fine, especially in certain artworks that make him more dynamic in action.
>>37610806In its concept art it was stated the 'Asian mist' was actually ember flames it spits out at opponent's faces, and if one can't concede Torracat has a buff upper body/arms and is building strength as its pokedex entries proclaim I dunno what else to say.
>>37610418>>37610816After a fashion the proportions meme feels pretty off kilter, you see tons of mons with weird proportions including even Torracat with the said giant arms vs spindle legs, but because Incineroar is on two legs it gets nit-picked way more. If Incineroar was explicitly quadruped but nothing else changed (big paws and longer arms vs shorter legs, buff upper body in general) I think people would be completely fine with it. The personality aspect also feels fairly iffy to use by now as a complaint, with its Pokedex entries and M20 showing a ferocious and assholish base persona like you'd expect of a tiger. The moveset bit feels subjective because it does get stuff like Body Slam, Power Trip, Stomping Tantrum, and Knock Off, which don't feel out of place in the ring on name alone.
