>>52240277If/when I play Scarlet I’m taking this fella, because he is based and quadrupilled.
The only valid criticisms I see are he looks kinda clownlike (I see why people say it but I don’t think so), but the second one does bother me and it’s a big part of why people see the first: Game Freak cannot depict fire properly.
It’s all 3D modeled as part of the actual creature, which leads to it looking kinda silly and not at all like actual fire. It isn’t wispy, thin, flickering, particulate, like the real deal. If the fire streaming out of the corners of his mouth was just a VFX animation more like that, no one would accidentally see it as looking kinda like a clown wig.
Which is a damn shame, because a crocodile with the fire pouring out of the corners of its jaws is a badass visual concept. It’s still cool, but they should’ve executed better (and honestly done so for most fire types who create open flames). The picture at the top of the thread has the fire look a lot more explosive and closer to what it ought to be like in-game.
