I can see what they were trying to go for, but the soft, pastel hues for this variant weaken the impact of what it set out to do in terms of artistic intent. It "feels" too soft, colorful, and a bit round too on top of that in certain areas. Seems to have been a trend since the shift into 3D. A lot of mons since Aloha at least feel in stark contrast to what came earlier. Probably me just being a skitzo, but I can't shake the feeling when I look at most mons past Aloha. Some of these traits were present to one degree or another since Gen 6, but they've only gotten stronger as time passed.
