Yeah, I don't think the theme comes through that well either. It being freakishly horrifying to look at doesn't help either.The issue I have with Meowscarada is that I don't really think its design and its conceit link up very well. I don't usually think "GIANT GO NAGAI VILLAIN FACE MASK" when I think of a magician, and its back wings...tails...trailing thingies...similarly don't evoke magician either.
Fucker needed, at bare minimum, something evoking the imagery of a top hat as part of its baseline design. Right now it looks like a Mazinger Z villain from 1973 and not the "theatre kid wannabe magician" it's clearly supposed to be.
Cinder and its line are really popular for fursonas; helps that it's a more personable design than Incineroar. It also benefits from being strongly associated with Lucario, but most of all it's just that it's a very gender neutral design compared to Incineroar, which is also why Meowscarada will blow past itMeowscarada sits in the 3k range, which bodes well for it given Incineroar's head start.
Cinderace is at 6k, somehow
It isn't even the most popular starter of its generation post smashAfter Smash Incineroar is as popular as any starter that isn't Charizard. I think the first two forms are less popular than your average starter

Litten falls into my "don't evolve this Pokémon" category. It goes from a cute little fire kitty to some stupid bipedal wrestler.
You might not be as familiar with it but that style of magician is definitely a thing:I don't usually think "GIANT GO NAGAI VILLAIN FACE MASK" when I think of a magician, and its back wings...tails...trailing thingies...similarly don't evoke magician either.
Oh good, I'm not the only one who measures popularity by how many e6 submissions there are.
Was not expecting e6 to make a cameo here
I mean, these are Pokémon we're talking about.I don't particularly like it. The final evolution is ugly and the whole concept is just a little too much like a child came up with it, "fire cat!", and like the name came first.
Making it a biped AGAIN was a boring move. Goes for every starter. Meowscarada is also snore for me.

Absolutely disgusting. Cinderace may be my least favorite starter everMeowscarada sits in the 3k range, which bodes well for it given Incineroar's head start.

Incineroar being a blight in Pokemon's VGC Meta also helped its image for me.Smash bros made Incineroar pretty based, that's on top of heel pro wrestler being something I already marked out for.
i just don't like em. i don't think any responsible parent would allow their child to have a litten without an everstone. he could challenge for custody.I mean it's a Pokemon based on Tiger Mask, which has half a century worth of pop culture importance in Japan. You can't really get more inspired than that. Its also just a reality that most Pokemon are biped, because they are based on monsters. Go look at gen 1 and you'll see there are very few quadrupeds.
That aside, cats and grass Pokemon have a pretty varied history, so I don't see what is wrong with Meowscarada being biped. Cats have Umbreon, Espeon, skitty, Persian, Umbreon, delcatty etc etc who are quadrupeds. And grass starters have had a ton of variety from no legs, to multiple lines that end in quadrupeds.
someone who uses that website tell me what kingler is at. is my boy safe from this
there are of course a variety of pokemon that go against what id prefer design wise. thats fine. still dont like em though. i like pokemon as a concept to be mostly mysterious magical animals/beings to get lost into a world of wonder and adventure. inceneroar and company are pokemon that break that illusion for me. theyre so specialized and human in design and character that they become something else in my eyes.
For real? Do you get a lot of offers on it? Can I pay you to have it redirect to my website?I own www.incineroar.com
I don't know why. I don't have it pointing anywhere. I just renew it every year for some reason…
