See, THIS is a prime example of a Pokemon that desperately needed a Mega. Or rather, it needed an evolution. Mawile is such a neat concept, but it's just not that good. Why use it? it's too bizarre and obscure and shit.
So something like this is great. Where do you go? double jaws. Oh, but not just the same damn jaw twice over, we ain't Magneton and Doubledge here. No, these are cool new mandible buddies. mandibuddies. They got all wavy-like lips, and hair and stuff.
I like the pants, because it reinforces the Fairy subtype that mawile got (another great decision) and is actually the same color as the inside of the mouths, so it's not adding a new color the palette. And the pants are like japanese pants and the hair is like samurai ladies have their hair or something I don't know I only watch anime sometimes.
okay that's a lie I watch anime all the time but still
Nothing ruined, design elements kept intact, logical progression, cannot be confused with its previous form, this is great. Only, I'd really rather see it as a proper evolution. We've given those out posthumously before, why not this? But I'm not going to penalize it for being too damn good for just a Mega.
Overall: 10/10
