So right away, the big difference between this artwork and 95% of the time you see him in-game is the sticks in his hair. Usually, he's got them out, ready to bonk people. And then you see his leafy mohawk, instead of a neat bun.
Not sure that would really change my score one way or the other, but it's an example of how the artwork no longer provides 100% of the information you need to judge a Pokemon anymore. On the other hand, the in-game model doesn't have the 'tude of this artwork, so it's a toss-up.
As for the design itself... what an ugly shade of lime green. His muzzle looks like a beak, and his arms look like they were pieced together out of clay. I can't help but envision Thwackey without the brown ears, arms, and tail. Just a weirdo green freakazoa running around and giving everybody nightmares.
Overall: 3/10
