>>48970143I hate the design philosophy of making intentional minor imperfections. Like if the coal stack on its shoulders/back looked more organic I think I would like the design a little more. It’s always been a thing in Pokemon but I feel like it was really kicked into high gear in gen 8 with all 4 fossils, Coalossal, Sandaconda, Dreadnaw, Copperajah, Stonjourner, Eiscue, etc. It’s all subjective but it does seem to be a widespread opinion about newer gens.
