I don't see why. The goal was to make the shrimp look tough and fast and the crab to look slow and high in defenses, which imo looks like the case.

Also, it makes even more sense since you get the shrimp by having the prevo hold the Red Scarf which boosts coolness, so it's actually pretty fitting that he'd have a cooler more detailed design.

Either way I can/probably will touch the crab up a bit, but I'd rather keep the shrimp a bit above him in coolness as a nod to his Red Scarf.

I didn't read that part. I think it would be better if it was a stat evolution like Tyrogue.

I don't want one evolution to be more popular than the other. And everyone will prefer the pistol shrimp compared to the crab.

Well, the red scarf is meant to work like how Rhydon's evolution can be seen wearing the item it uses to evolve.

Now, if we think of an item for the crab to have to have to evolve, then I could work it into the design.

Another option, along with a design change, would be to give the crab a more favorable ability. Either way I'll look up some pictures of the undersea vents and try to find some plant life and what not that may grow near them.

EDIT- Mkay, I'm thinking the crab could evolve after holding the Rocky Helmet, and in doing so he obtains the Rough Skin ability, or some variation of it. Either way i'm thinking I'll add some coral and plant life and what not to him, although in the end he needs to have a full over solid heavy structure.


Oh, I kinda like the idea of the shrimp having an attack called Quick Draw which hits the opponent with 2 fire balls from his claws and it has a chance of boosting his speed and accuracy.


EDIT2- Also, now that I think about it, what he'll lack in fancy and cool designs, he'll more than make up for with an interesting moveset. If he's covered in plants, a rock shell, and is spewing sulfur, that means he can use Rock (probably Ground) Grass, Fire, Water, and Poison where as the shrimp would most likely use Fire, Water, and Normal moves, with the obvious little ice more and what not here and there. But yeah, either way his attributes will be less visable compared to the shrimps.
