>>57071909I much prefer what we ended up with. Mewtwo looks even more like a copy of Frieza, they made all three starters extremely fat, the brown parts on one of the Charizard designs feels like change for the sake of change, the vents on the Charizards I honestly find gross, Venusaur did not need a random beard, and most of the Venusaur flowers are too different to realistically follow from the base form. Blastoise getting a mustache and tails made of water is a cute callback to the RB beta, but that doesn't make it good - especially since we didn't know about that at the time XY were released, so it would've felt like a random addition to us.
