Pokemon Scarlet & Violet fans love Grafaiai’s design
Though Grafaiai’s design is certainly out there for Pokemon’s standards, with its giant eyes and spindly limbs, the community seems infatuated with the strange creature.
Comments from fans flooded a post on the Pokemonsubreddit, with many giving their thoughts on Grafaiai’s design.
Plenty of players immediately drew comparisons to Impidimp’s design, which Game Freak revealed via a CG video showingcandid footage of Pokemonin the wild.
“Kinda reminds me of Impidimp’s design,” said onefan, withanotheragreeing and pointing out that both Pokemon “very thin limbs and nuanced digits, they really have the same vibe…”
Other players simply loved its strange design, like userAnimaSean0724who said, “I’m going to be honest, this is the most creepy cute Pokemon I have seen in a while…I love it!”
This was not an unpopular sentiment among trainers, with many saying that whileGrafaiai does look creepy, that adds to the charm of its overall design.
What’s more, it seems Game Freak probably designed the Poison/Normal-type this way intentionally when looking at the real-life animal that likely inspired Grafaiai.
