What is everyone’s issue with the Sword and Shield mascots? People are saying they are either over designed or that they both look too similar. Comment why you do or don’t like them and what they could have done differently.

There's way too much going on with them visually but offer too little to actually be interesting. Like, a wolf with a shield for a mane is a novel enough concept for some random shitmon but for your box mascot it's incredibly lame and boring compared to past mascots. Canine and feline mons in general are overabundant, usually playing it way too safe. Not even a yamabiko could excite me at this point.

It's both. They unironically resemble Zoids (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, /m/an here after all), but the real problems with them are:
1: Their names. I'm an autist who can put a name to any of the first 807 Pokemon, even a lot of the new ones. I cannot even guess at what these things are named. Snappy, easy-to-remember names help you remember the things they're attached to.
2: They really do look very similar. Even in the past, when we had two birds or two dragons as version mascots, they were completely different visually. These things look like alternate forms of the same Pokemon.

The shield dog looks retarded. The face protrudes past the shield when thats what you'd want protected the most. Blocking attacks with your face is the absolute dumbest way to fight.

I wonder if that means the third will be something like "Zaiello"

I haven't been keeping up with spoilers so please no bully if there's already a third or some shit.

If their color schemes were more focused on blue and red/magenta like they are in the OP pic instead of being a clusterfuck of both colors they would look a lot better.

The designs are derivative and out of place in Pokemon I mean why not instead of legendaries they made them special evolves where you need a legendary canine pokemon thats the same in either game + honedge + an empty pokeball, whether you get zacian or zamazenta depends on which version of the game you got.

I can agree on that. I think they over did it with the gold on the armor. If the armor was more cyan and magenta, they could look better.

I'm just iffy on the whole thing with Zamazenta has the whole "shield motif" built interally in it's design.

and then Zacian is holding a literal sword in its mouth. They either should ahve put the sword in Zacian's design or just have Zamezenta have a shield on its back.

>b-but Fafetched/Marowak/Alakazam/Gurdurr are literally just holding items!

You're missing the point that I am making.

I've noticed this, lycanroc has it too. Why do they look like they're wearing big goofy sneakers, it looks absurd compared to feet like suicune or houndoom.

I think they might have chosen the wrong animal group to pair with the sword and shield concept. If the mascots were bi-pedal fighting type knights, that would have looked more appropriate rather than slapped onto wolves. I could see why they may look so out of place.

They have too many unnecessary spikes. The shield and sword get lost in all those spikes and add ons they have.
Their colour palettes are similar.
All those spikes and add ons, as well as the retarded hoof feet, make them look too inorganic. It would be better if it had some contrast between the organic wolf and "inorganic" sword and shield.
Also the sword in the mouth thing is fucking retarded. It would be better if it was part of its tail or if you cant incorporate it in its body, then make the sword legendary a different animal.

They nearly copied the wolf from Dark Souls. The tail could have been a sword or have it protruding out from its helmet.

They should've given the sword wolf the ability to summon blades and control them telekinetically. Then give it the ability to learn all slash/cut moves and some kind of beefed up Swords Dance. The shield wolf should've simply been armored with some kind of forcefield aura with a shield insignia/crest or something. Let it learn all the protection moves.
