    Samurott was a fluke, but they actively tried to make the croc and duck as unappealing as possible so that Meowscarada would be guaranteed to be the most popular Paldea starter.

            You're either a disingenuous piece of shit, or a moron. That's like saying that Charizard is supposed to be laying down on it's side at all times because it was depicted doing so several times in the anime.

                Man, they really wanted to make this thing biped, but even they knew it looked even more hideous like that. Rare instance of nuGF having self-awareness and quality control, even if the end product still sucks.

                Having it stand on two legs serves the design so much better. Why didn't they just make it bipedal to begin with?

      There are no good simple designs in the modern gens. You're trying to imply that the older designs are good just because they're simple in order to pre-empt an argument in favour of your fav piece of shit, shill.

          Every single creature on the right is a monster, and the minotaur has a case for being one of the most recognizable monsters of all time at that.

            That's not the point.
            Crocalor is still a middle stage that shows how it's slightly transitioning into a quadrupedal monster by running on all 4 in game while dewott doesn't it still moronicly gets quadrupedal for no reason it's reverse incineroar (shit)

              I already explained the reason. Its body shape alters so it can support larger heavier shells. Not that hard of a concept to grasp.

                Yes, Dewott is a bad design. Samurott was created first, the only thing Dewott did to bridge the gap was becoming blue.

    Skeledirge is awesome though? It doesn't even ditch everything from its past design. The bird literally hatches from the egg on Crocalor's head.the nest is no longer needed to it goes away. Crocalor also had 2 of those square tags under its eyes. Skeledirge just had more of them. Skeledirge keeps the beak Crocalor has aswell. Also Skeledirge just looks dangerous and animalistic. It's nice when compared to the more humanoid final evolutions of the other 2 starters in gen 9.
