Any coherent reason you have for insisting Dragonite is a better design, despite it being widely panned for its goofy cartoon mascot looks and chubby bipedal body that most would think belong on someone in a stuffy theme park costume, rather than a respected pseudo? I doubt it, given this board's penchant for contrarianism for the sake of it. Though, perhaps that's a problem with the irony culture that's plagued this imageboard over the last decade in general.
