News: Alolan Persian Sighted

[Sylphiel]

This was another that I wondered for a brief moment if it was just some artist's rendition of what Alolan Persian might look like, since...yeah, definite Garfield vibes like whoa from this one. I wasn't expecting them to go that cartoony on the design compared to regular Persian. :P

I am indifferent to this one. I don't hate it, but neither do I really like it.

Why is so many people hating it? IT'S CUTEEE! ^_^ I love that Garfield face! I need to catch one in Sun and Moon! ^^

Honestly, I feel like I'm the only one who actually loves Alolan Persian. It's so cute! I can't wait to get one on my team.

And You're not alone ;)

"Ugly-cute" cats are in right now. So hot.

Poor Purugly already tried that and it didn't go too well for it.

Actually when you think about it the Alolan Meowth line is basically the same as the Glameow line, a purple/gray fancy cat that becomes a spoiled ugly cat upon evolving, that's kinda disappointing.

But Purugly looks badass and Alola Persian just looks .....stupid. I don't really get it... Alola Persian had so much potential. I would love if it had some "jewels" in its body, since Alola Meowth was raised by the Royal Family. But this.... This is such a boring design.... GF got lazy there '-'

The had the opportunity to do a lot when designing Alolan Persian... like making it regal/majestic. This is really disappointing.

Must admit I am disappointed with Alohan Persian as I thought it would be based on an actual Persian cat instead of a normal Persian with a squashed face. It is cute however and depending on typing I may use it at one point.

The worst Alohan Pokemon? No as Alohan Dugtrio exists and adding hair to it does not make what was a lazy design to begin with any better.

I too am utterly disappointed here. Alolan Meowth wasn't that bad, and Persian in itself is while plain, not badly designed, so yes it had great potential. I do love its colours though. Honestly, if all else they had changed, if anything at all, was to give it that smug look in its eyes, I would totally have used it considering it does bear an interesting typing.

I really had my hopes up for this guy but I am really let down.

I do like Purugly myself, but most people don't seem to like it, so I don't see how they thought repeating the same concept was going to work, at least Purugly is all around well designed being all fat which is kinda cute, Alolan Persian just looks awkward.

I wouldn't say Alolan Dugtrio is too bad, Dugtrio didn't have any unique qualities before, it was just 3 diglets stuck together, by adding hair to it at least has one redeeming quality, being absolutely fabulous~
Jokes aside, I feel like Alolan Dugtrio at the very least is an improvement over the original, each head has it's own hairstyle now making them somewhat unique rather than just being 3 Alolan Diglets, it feels more like an actual evolution rather than just 3 diglets stuck together.

After seeing it in battle I personally don't see anything wrong with it. It's a bit different, but things needed to change after so such a long period of stagnation.
