Am I the only one who thinks this was a massive fumble in design?
>have a bug with cool sword arms

Every time I look at him, I feel a ton of wasted potential.

no, scizor is way better than ugly generic dinosaur mantis with dragonball z eyes, and its even shittier version, oriental orange old man mantis with beard

>>58027676
Those shit tier ugly claws make everything you've written completely moot

Scyther is peak soul. Scizor is onions nuslop

>4/10 design evolves into 4/10 design
It's actually crazy how consistent they were

>>58027694
crab claws are retarded compared to swords and yet scizor is STILL a better design, crazy

>>58027659 (OP)
Scizor is peak. Sounds like you suffer from chronic "being a little bitch".
Get bullet punched.

>generic dinosaur mantis
Post some other dinosaur mantis designs.

It's fascinating that Scyther got two chances to have a cool evolution and they freaked it both times

I like scizor but would have preferred it being an alternate path from a baby like hitmontop.

>>58027736
Ok.

>>58027739
At least Kleavor has nice weapons. Imagine choosing the nutcracker hands LOL!

How embarrassing.

>>58027759
why? it literally doesn't matter, Scyther and Scizor have the exact same stat total, and in fact Scizor being an evolution means Scyther can use Eviolite so it's literally better for Scyther that Scizor is an evolution

Its funny how all this artificial vitriol between scytherfriends and scizorfags started when plass came out. always remember who the real enemy is

Damn that rust bucket could use some lube!

Scizor is my favorite pokemon but giving him actual scissor hands that could be put together was the most natural design decision ever and they didn't do it. Not even his mega did it.
Gamefreak is master class at missing opportunities.

>giving him actual scissor hands that could be put together was the most natural design decision ever
why? Because its name is "Scizor"? Because to the people who designed it, it isn't. It's Hassamu.

>>58027858
>not a single good design
Temu called they were hoping for better quality

>>58027889
Because scythes evolving into clamps makes significantly less sense than scythes evolving into scissors or swords.
And ass Hassamaru is a very samurai name, even swords would have been better.

what's he gonna do? dual wingbeat? LOL
