I just think it's ugly. I avoided all the SW/SH leaks before playing it, I was seeing all the new Pokemon for the first time. I saw very exited that the game had the first Poison/Electric type when I saw Toxel. Toxel is very cute, I like that it is pretty much a completely different direction for a Pokemon design to go (it looks like a Neopet). I was super disappointed by Toxtricity. It is super ugly. I know how powerful it is (Overdrive or Boomburst + Punk Rock + Choice Specs) but I just hate how it looks. I don;t really understand why everyone loves it so much.
It’s because of its power. Game freak has a habit of giving normal Pokémon powerful stats but bad looks, and vice versa. Like, how no one ever uses Mudsdale or Zebstrika and especially Galarian Rapidash. All are good Pokémon! But it’s about the looks for everyone.
Given that’s Aardvark is from Hong Kong, I somehow doubt that photo was taken at Epcot. I know very little about Asian architecture but if I had to guess, I’d say it’s a photo of a temple in Tokyo.
