Were they trying for bad-ass? Meh. I guess maybe for some kind of female empowerment (the message: though you can wear a dress and have a ton of hair, and have a really shy introverted personality, you can still be dangerous) but they missed when they made Mawile unappealing. To your sense of sight.
The coloring is dull, black a faded yellow, like a taxi cab, or an old caution sign (dumb Pokémon: beware!), and the blind-and-deaf dinosaur ponytail isn't winning any beauty contests either. I mean look at it, it doesn't know where it is. Its probably retarded.
And there's just something about that pose. Something presumptuous. Like its trying to declare it has some kind of knowing edge. Yeah, its putting on airs. And the dress and hair are poor design choices.
I might dig the sinisterness, a little, but I don't play Pokémon for sinisterness.
To top it all off its a Steel-type. Not a Dark-type, or Normal-type at least, a Steel-type. Where were they when they were designing this Pokémon?
Japan.
