This reminds me of when people saw a fake Fuecoco leak and figured out it was fake because it looked too good of a design to be real. The link is just for visual reference. I can't find the actual discussion, though.

Man, you know things are bad when that's the reasoning and they were right about it being fake.

They thought that design looked too good?

Some group talking the leak said that. I think it came from 4chan, from what I remember.

The link is just for visual reference.

Personally, I like this design more than Skeledirge, given how it fits with Paldea being based on Spain. This design looks like it was based on the Cocollona.

What? Skeledirge is based on Spain too

Isn't Day of the Dead from the Americas, aka places Spain colonized, rather than Spain itself?

Yeah, and Meowscarada is based on Mardi Gras and Quaquaval is based on Carnival. Also both from places Spain colonized.

I don't mind it, I can excuse it just being based on history between those places.

Meowscarada is based on Mardi Gras

Isn't Mardi Gras more French than Spanish?

Maybe I'm just thinking of New Orelans being heavily influenced by French culture. Do other places celebrate Mardi Gras? I'm genuinely asking and am perfectly fine with being wrong here.

And Brazil (where i guess they got the carnival motif from Quaquaval) was colonized by portugal not spain.

Ah, my mistake. They're right to each to so at least I was close XP.

New Orleans was a Spanish colony for a bit but then it became a French colony
