Alolan Persian has a dad bod

I LOVE alolan Persian! I find it incredibly cute. I WANT ONE. To be honest, I don't find it goofy or ugly. I find it quite beautiful.

If it wasn't for that dumb looking face it would be a much greater design.

I admit that I am disappointed in Alolan Persian. The original Persian is so elegant and majestic looking. And then the Alola form... doesn't do it justice. It looks very silly; I can't take it seriously.

Pokemon were never meant to be taken so seriously in my opinion. I think alolan persian is perfectly fine. It's just a cat anyways.

The point to me is not that it shouldn't be goofy. It's just he seems weird with his head fat and the rest of his body slim.

Nothing--nothing--is weirder than nature.

But the flat face is nicely complemented by the fluffy body and fur. This is a little angel, a ball of happiness.

Alola Persian looks like someone went and gave a regular persian cat a really questionable haircut. A haircut from which its body fur can never grow back, so it will always look like it has a bad haircut.

That's what I think. They should have change it more.
Though it may be the point of view of the official drawing. When I saw it moving in the game videos, it seemed more natural to me.

I do agree that it looks a bit better in-game; the designers have generally been doing a good job at making the new Pokémon "look better" in 3D compared to their 2D artwork, now that the games are played in 3D. But I'd still say Alola Persian is one of the worst, if not the worst, Alolan forms due to not only the potential it had for being a good design, but the overall poor execution.

Yeah. It's not one of my favorites.

I agree: If they were going to make the face fat, they should have made the rest of it look fat as well.

What're u talking about, that cat in the pictute is the cutest little thing and looks much different from alolan Persian.
I think alola Perian's design is a lot better than Decidueye just saying.
I think al-persian's trainer squeezed it's cheeks too much when it was a Meowth so it evolved with extra squeezy cheeks.

It reminds me of a 1980's cartoon cat like Heathcliff.
