Can anyone explain to me why this thing is so beloved? The beta had some awesome mons, but I can't see this one as belonging in that group.

Game Freak couldn't make it work, that's the difference between a drawiung and a pokémon, a drawing can be whatever the fuc it wants, a pokémon needs to adhere to Game Freak's design ruleset - something it just didn't do (mind, it likely got re-tooled to Spheal and you've just ignored it, so you didn't deserve it in the first place).

I know you like to believe they just throw any random old shit in and call it a day, but they have very stringent rules on what makes the cut (likely inspired by Tajiri in Gen I, making absolutely sure *his* game's designs were up-to-scratch). And given it was Tajiri's say-so back when it was up for inclusion, it's clear even he knew it wasn't going to work in *his* world.

Because he's too busy running his business. He left his friends in charge of the game development side of things as he could trust them and stepped back to make sure the company ran smoothly to help them develop smoothly.

What's not to love? A tuft of fur would look better than the lightning bolt, though.

So why doesn't Spheal get near the amount of love a beta does? I mean, they're basically the same design, only different colours.

Lol no. Tajiri is a shut-in dude. He has literal autism and isn't good with people.

He's actually got best of both worlds, gets to play the games, not bother making them, gets to earn money from those games for doing nothing directly towards their production.

I really can't tell you, but Spheal's design absolutely does not hit on the same level the thunder tiger's design does.
I mean, Spheal has no cat-nose, it has fangs that stick out, smaller ears, a lame pattern, it has 2 "legs", no paws, and its proportions are actually more ball-shaped. Something about that combo makes it uglier.

The button nose is cuter. Spheal has a wider gap between its eyes to emphasise the goofiness of its teeth sticking out. The proportions just aren't the same.

That said, I've seen that Spheal is popular with Asian women far more than it is in the West, so perhaps it does work in Japan.

But that's the issue - Spheal is likely what that thing in the beta became (they look similar enough, yet different to clearly show progression towards making the design a viable pokémon). I mean, doesn't matter to me, they're both uninteresting, the beta or the real ball. But you fuckers spamming it here constantly crying (and ignoring why some designs get made into pokmon and why some stay in a notebook at GF HQ) makes me realise it had to be a re-tooling, there's too much similarities between them to be an entirely different starting point.

Spheal did the idea way better by having the cute orb form but then it actually evolves.
