Post pokemon that feel like they were half baked or failed to elaborate enough on their theme.>Chesnaught It was always in my top 3 grass starters but seeing M Chesnaught made me realize just how much Chesnaught feels like a rough draft. The paladin theme is just not sufficiently conveyed in its design alone. You can tell Greninja is supposed to be a ninja with its scarf, you can tell Delphox is a wizard with its wand, but without any context its not immediately obvious that Chesnaught is meant to be any sort of knight. At face value it just looks like a mummy hedgehog who's balding, not a paladin and I suspect 'mummy' might've even been what Chesnaught originally was before said idea got scrapped and whatever came of it recycled into Chesnaught at the last minute. M Chesnaught really just feels like what Chesnaught was supposed to look like from the very start.

M Chesnaught is cool but it works better as a mega, its too 'jobmon' looking. Chesnaught still looks like a monster.
>>58910869I think this just fails on a conceptual level>let's make another godzilla pokemon, but this time its even more blatantly obvious what its referencing, and its uglier than the original in every way. Also slap a sword on its back so we don't get sued by toho
>>58910890Yeah bc all the other kaiju mons aren’t obvious

>>58910854Cinderace, if only because it looks more like a mid-stage to me more than a final - or like it got stuck in the middle of a mid and final evo.
