>>44760889When I first looked at Rillaboom, the first thing that I thought is that it can control it's hair or something. Absolutely nothing about it's design told me that it's a drummer, that's a character trait that they've added on to it. It's the same with the other two, Even though they do look a bit more like a 'Sniper' and a 'Striker' than Rillaboom looks like a 'Drummer', that's not something that the designs themselves tell me.
Just looking at Intelleon doesn't let you know that it has 'water that shoots from its fingertips at Mach 3'.
Just looking at Cinderace doesn't tell you that 'It juggles a pebble with its feet, turning it into a burning soccer ball'.
This has been a problem with the designs for the starters for a while now. Last gen, we had Incineroar with it's stupid fucking belt and Decidueye' retarded bow and arrows. You could guess that Primarena uses it's voice as an attack, but only because it looks so much like a mermaid/siren.
Essentially, I just don't like it when half of the Pokemon's nature isn't even shown to us in the design. For the starters at the very least, you should be able to look at the Pokemon and be able to tell what it does and how it does it.
