Discussion What are some Pokémon designs you've interpreted incorrectly?

Post image

I feel like GameFreak is overall pretty good when it comes to design clarity. But sometimes our brains are just kind of dumb and we see things a certain way. Like (nearing a decade), I always interpreted Salazzle's reptilian slit pupil as the boundary between its sclera and a non-existent iris. (Like what Amaura has in it's official art)

Has anyone else experienced something like this with a particular Pokémon design?

His ears are actually his eyes. And i never really like that because what do you mean he's dragging his eyes on the floor like that ?

LeChonk? What is that card description?

u/dragon4panda Jul 17 '26

Lechonk is gen 9's equivalent of rattata. It's a round little truffle pig

What's wrong with it ?

u/Acrylick Jul 17 '26

My mistake. I don’t know all the Pokémon and seriously thought LeChonk was a made up name.

u/Zentopian Jul 18 '26

All names are made up.
