>>39924170It's fairly common that not a lot of people really like Sawk and Throh. I might like the blue bro but even I can admit why its design doesn't resonate with fans
>both wear clothes, for one. people are used to seeing your regular anthro animal or quirky inanimate object>both are too humanoid>giant eyebrows and weird alien anatomy might be off putting>interviews confirm they're based on Onis, but they hardly look like them and look more like muppets to some>both are parallels to the Hitmons, might almost come off as exact ripoffs>comparing the two to Machamp, they're both kind of generic. Machamp LOOKS strong, Sawk and Throh come off as too human likeThe biggest reason Sawk's well recieved if nothing else is that it's really great in BW, appearing very early and is still great late game. Plus it was fairly great back in Gen 6 competitive play cause it still held its ground against Fairy types, when it was in NU. Both of them also fared decently in Japan, but otherwise, I'd argue they're the most despised mons out there
also can we get some more Sawk images in? My folder's dry.
