>>47370240I think youre underrating the Galarian line a bit:
>Galarian SlowpokeIs a "lazy design" for a lazy pokemon, has some good lore to it overall
Galarian Slowbro and Slowking both explore different power dynamics between slowpoke and shellder
>Galarian SlowbroFull control over Shellder (uses shellder specifically as a weapon, this is the only form of shellder that possesses no irises, indicating that it might not be conscious), cool sharpshooter aesthetic
>Galarian SlowkingCompletely controlled by Shellder, uses a warlock/witch motif to add to the "spooky" nature of parasitic control (even though they really fucked up the eyes of the design, and I hate that its not really slowpoke anymore, since the slowpoke you trained is just fucking dead and is being zombie controlled by shellder)
