Quoted By:
Water best conveys how the design philosophy has changed over years. Gen 1-3 are just big, bulky aquatic monsters with few bells or whistles attached. With Empoleon they started to integrate more features to the animal design, like a crown and collar to suggest royalty, or Greninja wearing its giant tongue like a scarf. By the time you hit Inteleon and the duck (?), they look more like people.
