I have nothing against facial hair inherently- Mr. Rime and Basculegion are legitimately some of my favorite Gen 8 mons. If it's going to get in the way of a more purposeful design decision, however, then I'm gonna shit on it.
>>53855305
It's not perfect, but it's still far better than whatever the fuck was posted above. The sticker mouth was at least a purposeful attempt to give it a "painted trinket" look to tie into it's origins over the fan design posted above's most clever aspect being turning the brow ridge into a mustache because "lol upside down".

>Basculegion
Should say that I put Basculegion there more for the humor factor, but it is a funny coincidence that there were so many facial hair mons in the past few gens. A design like Mr. Rime, even if I don't care for it, probably works better with it, but I do find it nauseating to see it used so frequently for related forms/evos of past Pokémon specifically. Makes it really hard to say that GF DIDN'T just go "let's slap facial hair on an older mon and call it a day". Perrserker and G-Weezing are the worst examples for me. Even worse that Perrserker is just a Meowth with some bells and whistles tacked on + the beard.

I dunno, this meme has always missed the mark because it both makes the assumption that facial hair was added for facial hair's sake and not because it was convenient shorthand that could help convey the design themes they implemented AND makes it seem like there's nothing more going on in the design other than the hair. Perrserker didn't just get facial hair because they thought it looked good, it got it to sell the "dirty out-to-sea viking berrserker" vibe it's going for alongside the decorated helm, cuffs, and it's pupils often rolling back during animations to make it look like it's losing itself for a moment. Galarian Weezing doesn't have facial hair because a floating ball of emphysema with a beard is funny, it serves triple duty in conveying the "old-timey mogul" theme alongside the tophat cooling towers, a visual representation of the filthy air it's said to ingest, and giving it more justification for the Fairy typing by making it resemble some classical bearded fae.
None of this is to say you have to LIKE the facial hair, but acting like it was placed without purpose rubs me the wrong way. Kinda makes me think anons on here are too stupid to understand the designs in a babie's monster catcher series

There's not a single person here that somehow misses the purposes of these designs (trust me, Game Freak has lost all touch with subtlety) people just don't give a fuck what the designs are meant to be, because at the end of the day they ARE just slapping facial hair on old mons and calling them new. It's lazy, they could just come up with better ideas.

But they're not though. "slapping it on" implies it was done without care or purpose, which is objectively false.
>and calling them new
half of the mons in the OP pic are regionals or alt forms, of which GF give no delusion about being new (no matter how drastically they veer of from their base forms like H-Lilligant), and the other half have far more discerning features that separate them from whatever their previously existing relative was. Acting like Kingambit or Kleavor would just be Bisharp or Scyther without their facial hair features either belies you as someone arguing in bad faith or someone who's mentally deficient. You choose which applies here.
>>53855435
>Why do they have to always be that kind of design though
They're not? There are Gmaxes/regionals/evos introduced in Gen 8 that lacked these features than ones that had them. Besides, acting like extremities explicitly resembling facial hair was particularly rare before recently is hugely disingenuous, it's jut that Gen 8 gave us the most in a single gen to date

I think it does a good job of doing the inverted personality thing without going overboard. The carved eyes are a nice touch and it doesn't take away from the main change, that they're apricorn balls made of wood.
It's a little plain, but that's fine, Electrode was always plain. Better that than taking a design and making it all about le funni mustache.

How so? If Kleavor's discolored, serrated rock jaw can be taken as, at the very least, a representation of facial hair, why don't we go ahead and extend that to other Pokemon who have similar features, huh?

I think it's just like food covering someone's mouth, just executed awkwardly. It'd be weird if it was supposed to be a beard but A-Muk didn't have it.
So listing the ones I agree with:
>Gen 1
Kadabra, Alakazam
>Gen 3
Swalot, maybe Walrein (still unsure)
>Gen 4
Kricketune, Probopass
>Gen 5
Herdier (to be generous), Stoutland, Thundurus, Tornadus, Landorus
>Gen 6
Chesnaught, Diggersby, Tyrantrum, Hoopa Unbound, Mega Alakazam, Mega Aerodactyl (sure I don't care)
>Gen 7
Drampa, Gumshoos, A-Golem
Generously speaking, and in my opinion at least, Gen 8 comprises 5 gens' worth of facial hair mons.

You don't see how the massive tuft of hair starting from under it's nose and wrapping around the back of it's head can be a beard?

The flaps extending over it's mouth sure look like hanging hair to me.
>ALL of it is hair.
Yet the hair gets particularly shaggy starting around the mouth and nose area and then proceed to wrap around the head.
>I've had a dog that has that weird fur in the front like that.
If we're going to do "durr the actual animal has hair like that!" in the face of very clear and obvious exaggeration then Basculegion and Perrserker wouldn't be in the OP.
>Whiskers.
Basculegion
>That's just a goat thing.
it's clearly exaggerated from the mountain goats they're based off of, especially in Skiddo's case where's it's localize to the base of the chin and juts off from a single point.
>It's just a spike for ramming things.
That's specifically shaped like a piece of hair and originates from the chin? Even if it IS a spike for ramming things it can still be representative of some sort of facial hair.
