>>37938803You can see its design perfectly well as a quadruped, and there is nothing stating that anthropomorphic bases = anthropomorphic execution when it comes to design. In fact, people have been complaining for 2 generations about the starters which exemplify that fallacy.
To summarize:
1.) designed as a quadruped
2.) works as a quadruped
3.) has origin from a biped, but was worked into said quadruped design
4.) original appearance was as a quadruped
vs.
1.) appeared in secondary material as a biped
2.) to ease animation,
3.) for a gag (in said secondary material),
4.) and to make a reference to a gen 1 Pokémon
Can you see my position on why I think it becoming a biped is stupid?
