Its such a shame too, because it had the strongest start of a Fire first stage since Torchic or Cyndaquil.
It just immediately shits the bed upon becoming Crocalor, and is unable to recover it in the last stage.

Fuecoco is perfect. Such a stupid little goofball. Looks like a croc, looks like a plushie, looks like a spicy pepper. He is a perfect stage 1 starter. I can’t say I like any of the Paldea starter final forms but Skeledirge is the most disappointing, because he did almost everything I wanted and still turned out all fugly and lame.

GameFreak intentionally sabotaged the bipedal starter design so they could use its poor reception as an excuse to exclusively make bipedal starters like Meowscarada for the foreseeable future.

I like it, but even I can't deny it's design fumbles a fair bit because they tried to cram too much into it, doesn't help it's artwork in the OP picture looks fucking hideous.

It's another horrifically ugly Gen 9 pokemon. They're a dime a dozen, but Skeledirge is a starter, which magnifies just what an atrocity of a design it is.

I don’t like it. I understand what it’s going for but the actual execution is beyond cluttered.
>crocodile with a plover like in Egypt
>but the plover is a ghost/phoenix which is also Egyptian themed
>it sings with the bird because crocs and birds both sing
>so it has an opera motif, and the bird turns into a mic stand
>but its head shape is also meant to be an elongated stage for the bird, and its “singer hair” is the nest from the previous stage and also pyrotechnics backing a singer
>since it sings and is associated with the dead, lets give it a dia de los muertos face
All of this layered inspiration to its design to ultimately just look like a clown because of how all the different animal-with-a-job elements clash instead of harmonize. It’s quite literally overdesigned, and not in the meme sense.

it's more infuriating that the concept on paper, with the death mask and the spectral egg/bird, is actually pretty good

Not a bad summary. The Skeledirge line is the closest thing Gen 9 has to a good starter line, but it doesn’t stick the landing. Still way less embarrassing than the other two, though.

You don’t really have to resort to that, though. Meowscarada is the same, predetermined “character” design that made Gen 7 & 8 starters so bad. Barely anything monster like about it.
