>>54795575In my headcanon he swallowed the evolution stone and it got stuck, but yeah I also dislike this aspect of this design
>>54795576>gaining bulkWell it is not that simple, one of the issues is, that the silhouettes of the pokemons I mentioned are kinda samey, a thing which ought to be avoided at all costs, especially if all those pokemon are all clumped at the end of the dex.
Furthermore there is bulk like blastoise, Nidoking or aggron, and then there is rhyperior which looks like he should be physically unable to walk. And while the arms are kinda big, the lack of shoulders and the blob-like body makes it seem .... malformed or weak I guess? I can not imagine how this pokemon is supposed to walk. At least not from the sprites/idle animations.
But this issue gets worse since so fucking many final evolutions of gen 4 follow the blob for body, 2 arms ending in strange or oversized hands and an oval head formula. Legs are either weird stumps or missing completely.
