Cocksuckers would insist the design is great because it's a reference and also has "le ebin coming of age" themes, despite the fact it comes with the inherent reality that Blastoise is a failure who needs Steroids (Mega Evolution) to become its best self, which sends the message that if you don't knock it out of the park right away, you HAVE to take drugs or you'll never succeed in life.
