>Sugimori: “Haxorus might have been the earliest Unova Pokemon ever created. It was designed when we were still working on Pokemon Platinum, and development of Black & White had barely even started yet. There was a new girl hired onto the design team, and I had her create a design based on the concept of a cool, dinosaur-like Pokemon.”
>“She came up with the idea that Haxorus attacks by swinging its axe-like fangs instead of using its mouth to bite, kind of like a description I read on a dinosaur wiki. At first I thought it wasn’t too Pokemon-like, since it was designed by a newbie — however, I later decided that might actually be what makes the Pokemon so cool, so I included it in the game.”
>“Haxorus’ pre-evolutions were reverse-engineered from Haxorus’ design. The defining characteristic of this Pokemon is its fangs, so I made the most drastic changes occur between Fraxure and Haxorus.”
