>>54587475I think you misunderstand, I mean, that is what Poliwhirl and Poliwrath (AKA Poliwhirl but ANGRY) do as well so it ain't like the "Tadpole to Frog" thing is the issue, what i mean is going specifically from Poliwhirl to Politoed is a much more abrupt change in direction because it isn't Tadpole>Frog, it is Tadpole>Frogman>Different Frog with completely different (sharper) color scheme and design aesthetic, Im not meaning it as a diss on Politoed cause i like it better then Whirl and Wrath personally anyway.
Basically it is not the concept that was jarring so much as it was the "Style change", in particular since the Poliwag like was so consistent
Boring prior to it.
