>>58701633Agreed. It doesn't fill me with contempt, but its just a worse design than its predecessor. It's especially frustrating given how emblematic Rhydon is of Pokemon's early design ethos.
Another element of Rhyperior I dislike is how it seemingly wants to have like a million different points of focus in its design. Rhydon already had the horn drill, which was its big defining trait. So Rhyperior comes along, adds heavy reinforced armor, but also arm cannons (???) and a wrecking ball tail, both of which look very cumbersome and clunky to use.
Like, it's got these huge forearms, but then has the balls to have these stick thin upper arms that look like they'd snap if they tried to lift. And then a huge tail, but its fat fuck body and stubby ass legs make it look incapable of actually pivoting, much less swinging the damn tail.
It's just a messy design. If they reworked it a bit, and made it its own separate line, I think people wouldn't care as much, but since its tacked onto Rhydon, it's more divisive.
