>>54436938All three paldean starters are part of a "design tour-de-force", it's one of the few starter trios in which the stylistic theme that holds them all together not only fit the region they're from but also fit each other and complement their typings.
Skeledirge is a tenor, a prized musical position for countries that hold a lot of operas and celebrate Mardi Gras like Mexico and Italy, while also being an homage to the folklore to these countries, like the "Dia de Los Muertos" La Llorona decoration in it's face that gives it a Ghost type.
Meowscarada is a "gypsy magician" wearing a Mardi Gras mask, gypsies previously populated a lot of Iberia and let a permanent mark on the culture, one that is also tainted by their connection to the criminal underground, which is why they have a Dark typing.
Quaquaval is a "Rainha de Bateria", a pivotal dancer that "leads" the drum section of a Samba School into the parade and acts like a sort of mascot for the whole school, which is they need to constantly train their craft and be consistently in the center of attention to earn their School more points. Samba itself being a mix of Iberia and African folkloric music, connecting it back to Portugal and Spain, and i didn't even mention the Tenerife Carnival.
To call them "shit" is to disregard the amount of effort, study and care that was put into these pokemon. Of course their shillmons, every starter since Gen IV is created to sell merch and be the center of their generation, but this was done beautifully this time around, Skeledirge is just one of the 3.
