Aesthetically, I've always thought of Dewgong as a go-to point to illustrate how over-styled the Pokemon of recent generations have become. The look of a Pokemon plays a big role when I put a team together, and Walrein (though not the best example of it) looks intentionally unsimplified.

And it makes a stupid noise.

I prefer Walrein and it has a place on my main battle team. It has a good movepool and looks totally awesome.

My first post was al about battle utility, but as far as design, I still prefer Walrein.

There's just nothing memorable about Dewgong's design. It looks like something you can see everyday in the real-world if you lived in frigid enough coastal areas. Walrein looks more fantastic and actually looks like the powerhouse that he is while Dewgong's subdued design makes me pass it over all too often. :/

I absolutely agree with that. Woohhoo! Long live Walrein!
