>>57349509And this shit pisses me off so goddamn much, because pokemon has such a huge, dedicated community of artists making up fake pokemon that it gives me the impression that sometimes GF has no choice but to try making weird, even straight up fugly shit just because "it hasn't been claimed by fans yet."
I'm not even sure if there's a solution to this issue since having a design that looks lifted up from a fan may lead to controversy, and you can't work with fans either, because who knows if said fan turns controversial later and now their autism has permanently soiled the pokedex and merch forever.
