>>55805674>It's popularity and constant appearances in videogames prove you wrong.It shows up because it's a plot point and Vegeta doesn't get SS3 except in shit like super heroes you retard. Also, appeal to popularity is a fallacy.
>But there's also Frieza, who follows a similar design philosophyhe has 3 forms that are exactly what you'd call "overdesigned" before his final form, and even then he's got golden now which is also what you would call "overdesigned". Freiza is also not even the best DB villain design, that goes to cell. Freiza only comes back because he's the first villain from DBZ.
>You're contradicting yourself.Gen 1's designs are almost exclusively dogshit except a select few like charizard, mewtwo, and the nidos.
>Digimon's designs don't even stray from the formula I explained thoughThey absolutely do and are cooler, more marketable monsters than anything pokemon could ever produce. Almost every single one is a banger, even the ones that are meant to be literal failures like numemon are far more iconic than anything from the gen 1 dex of pokemon.
>But even the crazier digimon don't stray from your typical legendary pokemon design pre-gen 5Is a lie you tell yourself.
