The original one is a better design, it's so much more subtle.

Why does Absol have a human-like face

Most of the Megas are pretty over designed but its kind of hard for them to not look like that since you have to add stuff to an already fully designed Pokemon.

That's why the best Megas aestheticly are Kang and pinsir, they unlock the pokemons hidden potential as opposed to adding a bunch of bells and whistles.

makes it easier to waifu

Silly anon, you can't waifu a male Pokemon. How would that even work? He really should have been Dark/Fairy though.

It is based on a sphinx.

Yeah, Absol's normal body is much cleaner, and the blades were perfectly fitting.

The mega is too furry and the ruined its blades, especially on the head.

The wings also seem unnecessary, why does it have them in the first place? To make sure we recognize the sphinx? Nah, it's not needed and just clutters the Pokemon more and more.

I keep imagining Mega-Absol talking like Paris Hilton or some valley girl accent and saying "stellar" a lot.

This, i mean now the blade is properly attached on the head and doesn't look like it could snap at any moment with the slightest touch.

And fuck, do they think we're so retarded that we don't understand Absol's protection theme becoming an Angel Guardian theme? Come on.

I quite like it. I still prefer the original, but they could have done far worse than making it fluffy. It's still a kid's game after all, and it is partly based on harbingers of death.

Mind you, I quite liked M-Glalie's design for how it's now grinning instead of having an eternal underbite, so I'm not exactly hard to please.

The real disappointment was actually the Charizard variants for me. Say all you want about Mega Venusaur, but at least he didn't go through a 'you're not my dad!' phase.

You've been watching too much anime.

The only thing I don't like about it is the change to the thing on its 3rd eye. The hair a bit too. Around the ankles and particularly the bangs.

My only gripe is that it doesn't learn Fly but it's only a temporary form.
