I may have sided with Werewolves on the Splatoon 2 Splatfest last weekend, but that was only because of my main girl Marina. I'm definitely partial to vampires in most cases, because despite the best efforts of hundreds of terrible young-adult novels and subsequent terrible movie adaptions, they're still pretty cool.
And Myotismon brings his own twist to the classic design - sure, there's the pale skin, fangs, and high collar, but you don't often see vampires with dress-military outfits. Nor do they usually sport masquerade masks, especially ones with bonus bat ears coming off the sides. Those Digi-tastic lanky proportions help him stand out too, and we can't ignore that swanky golden bat bowtie.
I like the repetition of the bat symbol motif, he's clearly a big Batman fan.
how come we dont got a vampire pokemon?
ReplyDeleteG1 Golbat sprite is the closest so far.
DeleteMaybe because Pokémon are supposed to be wild animals... it's kinda hard to imagine a fully dressed man with perfect hair living in the wild.
DeleteGF put hair on Alolan Dugtrio, Mega-Ampharos and Jynx besides pokémon like Throh, Sawk and Mega-Diancie which use clothes.
DeleteI think a vampire Pokemon could work, but it would have to be very abstracted. Definitely Ghost-type. Here's my attempt (which I'm not even all that happy with): https://i.imgur.com/W1zuPJH.jpg
DeleteDon't just make a little man wearing clothes with human hair, because while that's been done before, that doesn't mean it's good.
(And yes, I'm aware of the irony that a guy who critiques designs can't come up with a good design himself.)
