Hands look better in the redesign, I’ll give it that. Her on model hands are disgusting, it’s why most fanart draw them off model.

I like the additions but the mask should have stayed without the stoned look
>>56537711
I like the monstrousness but somewhere in between would suffice
>>56537723
If they really wanted to end up with a wrestler cat, they should've made Torracat have some traits of that instead of just being "Litten but bigger". It's too jarring. Again, some redesigns that are in between are pretty good.
>>56537744
With these, Delphox was arguably made more functional. Bipedalism is the easy way out for all of these, and their redesigns can still do all of what the originals can do in most cases, it just requires non-human animation. Most animations look like human motion capture, even for shit like Charmander. Pokemon generally should animate more diversely. The only thing lost was Chesnaught's hand shield ability, which was pretty stupid anyway. Incineroar's belt spirals were pretty weird too and can now be replaced with the whole tiger-through-ring-of-fire thing that makes it look like a torracat evo instead of whatever it was trying to be, while still being able to wrestle in its own, not literal-human way (if they weren't lazy with creation of unique animation)
>>56537744
Inteleon is a side grade for other reasons, and I've seen a redesign that BTFOs both of the while preserving the more Dino-like legs that make sense for a bipedal reptile.
That Calyrex is an improvement
That Incineroar is somewhat of an improvement in only one way but I've seen even better.
That Cinderace is a very slight improvement but I've seen better while preserving the more sensible overall leg structure of the redesign
That Baxcalibur is a downgrade for many reasons, I've seen MANY good redesigns of it that fix small flaws of the original, which frankly isn't really too flawed.
Both of those Tinkatons are hideous and there is no salvaging it.

samurott will never be a good design
>>
>>56537723
The bottom middle one is actually good. It looks kinda like a cannon, but it's pretty subtle rather than screaming "look I'm a cannon" like most Fakemon designs. I could see it actually being a Pokemon unlike most fake starter evos.
Or maybe I'm just still coping to this day.

>>56537744
Feel like Incineroar would've been more well received if it had a quadrupedal body that could assume a more bipedal form in battle.
>>
>>56537723
I appreciate that it actually does something unique and interesting unlike that fakemon shown but I really hate the proportions like the sausage fingers and the tail.
>>
>>56537882
I already is. I don't know why you just seethed like that at a design that wasn't mentioned.

in his defense golurk line, trevenant line, and centiskorch go hard as hell, and guzzlord, naganadel line, and dondozo arent bad either. but holy shit, i didnt know he made the basedjak gengar and obstagoon on top of his other shitty mons. bro hit 3 home runs and took 20 fastball nutshots

He has some stinkers but most of his designs are inoffensive. Golurk might be his most popular, but it doesn't read as a pokemon to me. You could put him in some other toony jrpg and I wouldn't blink an eye.

Iirc he mostly worked on the human characters.
>>
>>56537708
Downgrade that tones down the mask emphasis too much

>>56537711
Not as empty a design, but feels too generic in turn. The problem with Baxcalibur is the design, not the concept.

>>56537744
This is a joke, but I actually like the Chesnaught.
>>
>>56537751
I'll take the big chungus tinkaton

there is like 4 good pokemon lines design wise here how do you fumble this hard

100x better than the shit we got
>>56537712
Turner wasn't a fan
he was hired to draw Black Lugia and Sugimori was impressed by him.
that's it. he just recolored a pokemon and that hack hired him because he wants more shitty artists like him
>>
>>56537718
what a fucking jew
>>
>>56538926
Shadow Lugia does have a couple of more design changes than just "paint it purple" but yeah, overall, kind of weird Sugimori got impressed by /that/.

Not gonna lie, I actually like this one a lot better. I like looking at an actual face and not a mask.
Reminds me of how they've gone from designing starters as a species to characters from a species.
Granted, the left still doesn't look like something you'd fine running in the wild, but it still looks better.
>>56537711
Not everything needs to be quadruped. And honestly the worst part is its front legs.
Like those knees just do not look right to me. The rest is fine, just make it bipedal and it may be good.
>>56537723
>>56537744
Again, not everything needs to be quadrupedal. I get wanting to make them look more bestial though.
>>56537751
Similarly, changing its legs isn't everything. They can make for a really good stylistic change, though.

>>56537739
Apparently he only "finalized" Bruxish and it was apparently designed by an unknown female designer. I thought he only did the reference sheet so i guess it makes him more 50/50 at fault for jynx fish

I do like that Intelleon. Push him lower to the ground and make him more slithery.

Meowscarada is pretty bland if you look at it without the porn addiction lens.

If you look at it objectively it has a lot of things going on in the design. I'd rather expect someone to call it overdesigned than bland. Compare Meowscarada to something actually bland and unpopular, like Meganium.

Yeah this one is dogshit
>getting rid of the cool jester mask for literally a repeat of the first stage’s face
Fakemon artists and fan-designers are so creatively bankrupt it’s unreal.
>>
>>56537708
why remove the mask?
>>
>>56537723
hiring her was a mistake, the worst one.
>>
I would fuck both cats
>>
>>56537723
Fan designs here look like shit, but subverting expectations doesn't automatically makes a design good, either
>>
>>56542461
An idea here could have been to have the darker mask fur pattern Floragato already has spread more into the shape of Meowscarada's mask. Then it would still have the jester mask but in a different way.
