Regarding
Kenhorou, the pigeon Pokemon's final stage...the male looks very ugly/strange. The pink and green clash too much for me, and if I change the pink to red, he reminds me too much of
Staraptor... :( The shiny variant doesn't help things, either...
The
female's coloration, however, is a definite improvement (It appears some gender sprite differences are still present in BW...well a few, according to Bulbapedia). Her color scheme matches is more similar to Mamepato's color scheme, which I actually preferred. It's weird;
both of Kenhorou's sprites seem female rather than male...I think the female having a mask with a
blue color similar to the one incorporated in Mamepato's shiny would have been a nice touch.
And this guy is growing more on me :cer_smile::
As much as I loved the color scheme and design on
Meguroco,
Waruvial seems like a nice progression from the original scheme. It even has a facial design that hearkens back to the glasses of the Squirtle Squad! :D Plus, the red skin reminds me of
raw muscle and gives me the impression that Waruvial
used to look like its shiny variant (matching its pre-evo), but someone managed to piss it off to a
great extent that its anger is now permanent (supported by its Dream World ability, Anger Point)! Similar to what happens with Rock Lee when he accesses the Inner Gates ;):
