silly swalot ranking
official art: 7/10, iconic, THE swalot. somewhat muted palette, but not too blown out.
rse: 7/10, i miss how saturated he is. the head being so pointed is an interesting choice, but i appreciate bringing swalot into existence. the proportions havent exactly been settled out yet.
dppt: 8/10, there we go, nice round bulbous head. perfect big man
bw: 10/10, but silly this is the same guy? WRONG. this is the perfect swalot color. to me. just slightly more muted than the original's saturated purple.
3d model: 5/10, babygirl you are so washed out
sv: 7/10, slightly more red/saturated than the 3d sprite and the offical art, love seeing him from the front rather than the side in this color and resolution.
home: 8/10, really attached to the blue purple color, compared to the other sprite this one almost looks shiny. the black diamonds are really nicely black without getting washed out.
pinball: 7/10, this swalot ate a bee
pmd: 8/10, look at him. there is so much love and curiosity in those little beady red eyes. love
pmds: 5/10, my man is soulless :( where is the delight hes no longer smiling, the color sapped from him.
rumble: 100000000000/10, LOOK AT HIMMMMM!!
shuffle: 7/10, really well implementing him into a circle icon. hes almost ghost shaped and its kinda cute. spherical.
coliseum: 9/10, im biased bc i love him but im also very endeared by the harsh shadow we havent really seen before. bc of his poly count also leaves his feet a bit more pointed and it gives him a more cute look.
go: 9/10, really good, got a bit of the pointy head back but to a lesser degree. he almost looks a little bit short. i think this is also the model they use in sv but bulbapedia doesnt say so.
snap: 9/10, return of the blue purple, he looks nice i like him.
sleep: 8/10, hes ok honestly, hes got the muted color palette, but thats the art style. the top down view makes him look a little silly. but thats okay. theres something about the way his feet are so distinctly carved out from the shadow.

A Gulpin line review pls? :>
Am I the only one who thinks these guys are really cute? Like, it's not just me, right? Look at those little :ധ faces! As creatures that are basically the land version of gulper eels they're pretty objectively horrifying, which makes the contrast between their behavior and their expressions all the funnier.
Visually, both stages of this line are super simple. Gulpin is literally just a blob with a yellow feather-like protrusion and a black diamond on its back. However, this makes sense for it, given that it's basically just a stomach with a face. The feather and diamond help break up the body a bit, and I like how the shape of the mouth is repeated by the nub arms.
Swalot is basically just a bigger Gulpin, but it does change just enough to feel distinct by being a poison-type appropriate purple and having a bigger body, more diamonds, open eyes, and whiskers. It still keeps all of Gulpin's unique elements as well, like the mouth. I like the small mouth in particular because it's pretty true-to-nature—most creatures with big mouths keep them hidden until the last second.

My only real complaint with Swalot (which also applies to Gulpin, though to a lesser extent) is that the colors feel a bit off; it has red eyes, yellow whiskers, and black diamonds, all of which feel pretty disconnected to each other. It would've been nice if the black diamonds were yellow or something so the color palette wasn't so messy. Still, overall enjoyable.
One thing I think this line could use is an evolution. It feels fine as a two-stager but there's no reason to stop it there, and Swalot's design feels simple enough to build upon for an evo. Something like a mega could also work.
Anyway, overall, some fun and cute fantasy creatures with some neat biology.
