>>40010645Scizor wasn't a bad design, I'll give you that. He might even be cool, I'll give you that.
But, Scyther is a better and superior design between the two. So, going from Scyther to Scizor is moving backwards. Hence, the problem.
They probably should have just left based Scyther alone, and made Scizor It's own unaffiliated pokemon.
