that actually makes sense considering that early Pokemon had JRPG inspiration with the designs.
Dragon Quest & Mother specifically.
I loved this aesthetic honestly.

the "rivalry" between Scyther & Scizor fans never made sense. They're part of the same evolutionary line. I prefer Scyther due to his more natural and monstrous look, but Scizor is still pretty awesome.

I love both as well but I understand the rivalry. Scizor is a drastic design departure from Scyther’s aesthetics. Scizors higher tier viability despite an equal BST just rubs salt into the wound.

Shiny scizor*

This would work great as a regional evolution.
In X region, Scizor evolved to become more offensive and hunt in packs, with no need for extra defense.
Maybe bug/dragon, referencing the much more reptilian design akin to Scyther?

I like that it retains Scyther's general head appearance and color. I agree with >>44241655
that the Shiny could've just been the red one. I think more people would complain if Scizor weren't A) very early in the franchise and B) a nice design.

I'm fine with scizor itself, but I hold a grudge because of the fact that it does nothing to build off of Scyther's design. The only thing they have in common are the vague general structure of their bodies, and their hands being based on weapons. Even the weapon theme is kind of muddy because of the fact that Scyther's blades fitted better with the praying mantis design and look more dangerous than Scizor's pincers. Essentially it came out and completely overshadowed and invalidated a pokemon design I already really liked while taking hardly any of the aesthetic cues that made me like Scyther in the first place. I'd be a lot more forgiving of Scizor if he was just an alternate evolution path rather than being just a straight replacement for Scyther.

Personally i love Scizor and i think i prefer him over Scyther but the fact that the latter doesn't have an alt evolution always bugged me too.
I rember years ago someone made an orchid mantis evolution for him before Lurantis was a thing. Scyther really should get a more mantis-like evo, maybe some aggressive looking species like the conehead mantis
