>>58150488no the shell is a major change and badass...
i just mean like when a special form only changes 1 specific element, and a large amount of the design just stays exactly how it was before.
supplementing the exaggerated feature with other, lesser changes elsewhere is necessary to me. (mega kanghaskhan is the only exception i can think of where it seems better that lots of stuff goes unchanged)
for gigantamax blastoise, the shell is the big focal change and the supplemental changes are the patterns on the legs/tail, new toes, new armor plate shapes, tweaked colors and different proportions.
if those supplemental changes were all removed or downplayed beyond a certain extent, i wouldn't really like it anymore, or at least not as much
(honestly i think it maaybe could've used a tiny bit more, maybe a bit more detail between the belly armor plates to imply denseness or something, but it's good as it is)
