Stonjourner is far worse than this. At least this thing is based on a living creature.

it's just got a relatively simple face, it's nowhere near as bad as some modern designs, I quite like it.
Also I only just now, after 14 years, realized the lumps on the sides of its head are meant to resemble headphones. I never got why people said the line was sound-themed before.

The evolutions' bumps are speakers too and all the names reference sound

Well palpitoad and seismitoed don't, right? I just didn't think it was as strong an influence as some people were suggesting.

Seismic waves are vibrations (through the earth), so sound + ground, is how I thought about it. Palpitoad is related to palpitations, so the beats of a music.
