LEAVE MEOWSCARADA ALONE

I was sold on Meowscarda as soon as I heard about the inspiration My love for it skyrocketed when I saw it in a picnic sprinting around like a wild animal that learned about Naruto running It went from weed cat to cocaine cat

Honestly when I first saw Sprigatito's final Evo I got major Phantom Thief vibes from it.

A really cool attention to detail is Floragato using its rose as a yo-yo and said rose becomes the stem of a bouquet for Flower Trick. It’s a yo-yo trick that becomes a party trick much like how Crocalor’s fire egg becomes a fire bird for its signature move.

What I love is the fact the secondary typing actually makes them stronger than their initial elemental weakness. Dark beats ghosts, ghost beats fighting, and fighting beats dark. It's the first time I felt the the starters actually balanced instead of rock paper scissors

I actually picked Sprigatito as my starter for my first play through. I had known what the final evolution looked like already but I did not know its signature move. I love using Flower Trick in battle. Although something I noticed is that all three starters have a theme of being performers; magician, dancer, and singer.

My favourite is still Sprigatito, but I love it's evolutions. Because Sprigatito is so cute I was hesitant to evolve it at first, but once I evolved it I grew to love it's cute and a little shy personality.

I've grown to like Meowscarda over time, I named mine Masquerade and she's by far the strongest member of my team, I love battling with her, and it's a shame that people say it's 'furry bait'. Yes, it has somewhat of a body shape but it isn't even that exaggerated as some people make it out to be, unlike Lopunny.

"The Gato in GatorEx stands for catgirls" had me laughing like Stitch

meowscarada’s grown on me, but i definitely prefer floragato. just a much more conventionally appealing design with more of the face that made me love sprigatito. also she has a yoyo, i love that.

Meowscarada really grew on me. Mostly because it's a primary part of my competitive team. The magician theme fits super well with the smug cat look.

Floragato is literally my favorite middle evolution of any that have existed to date. Much as I love Meowscarada, I wouldn’t be mad about a Floragato-like design being the final evolutions. As it stands, my Meowscarada is a chaos demon in every sense of the word and I’d do anything for him 🥺❤️

I can't decide between Meowscarada and Quaquaval. I love both deigns. Meowscarada got the masquerade theme and the magic misdirection part, I love that. But Quaquaval has such a personality and flashy design plus incorporating it's dancing into it's fighting style, plus the wiki's description of it's personality is awesome. Not to mention it's run animation that reminds me of Jack Sparrow's run yet somehow even more feminine and femboy-ish, it's hilarious. Plus even the wiki describes it's anatomy as "having a defined rump". That's too hilarious to ignore.

One awesome little detail that I love about Meowscarada is the potential reasoning why it probably has Protean as a hidden ability. You see, Meowscarada is indeed a stage magician but it also has a bit of a Jester theme. The Jester is usually a figure that represents the Fool arcana in the 78 Tarot Card deck. "The Fool" represents "new beginnings" but is also is described as an individual who doesn't know what to expect, fairly inexperienced, having beginners luck, and has very good improvisation. Basically, Meowscarada is the Joker card of pokémon, which I find super fun and creative (most persona fans probably see the correlation). But Meowscarada may not just be the fool arcana, but "The Magician" arcana as well, seeing as it is its title. The Magician Arcana is also a Tarot card that states "The message is to tap into one's full potential rather than holding back, especially when there is a need to transform something." I feel of the 3 protean starters, Meowscarada has the most creative take to justify an ability for a starter that I've ever seen.

It’s my headcanon that sprigatito got so tired of everyone saying that it should be on all 4s, that it stood up out of spite

>humans evolved from quadrupeds to bipedal >sprigatito does it and everyone loses their minds

Hisuian Typhlosion and Meowscarada: > hated when revealed > loads of speculation about what they could look like > bipedal > actually kinda cool when not looked at from face-value > weed

I really like Meowscarada. While it isn't taking my top five, it might contend for sixth. I get why some people might feel annoyed, but who cares? It's a good design still and I didn't care in the first place if Sprigatito went bipedal.

Meowscarada has had it's reputation literally be 'Oh No! Anyways'. Once the criticism has gone and passed and actual feelings kick in, it is good to see that people are liking the design of it. I personally do like Meowscarada similarly to how I like Cinderace. I was skeptical at first for both of them, but grew to like them both respectively.

I was sold on Sprigatito from the start, and initially was in the “don’t you dare stand up” camp. But I have to admit, when I saw the final evolution, being a persona 5 fan definitely solidified my choice. I have a Meowscarada named Noir, after my favourite of the phantom thieves (fav girl, Ryugi is still the best lol, but I do love them all)

honestly i think that the humanoids designs makes them a lot more interesting in my opinion. Meowscarada,cinderace and especially Incineroar are very expressive.which is made easier by their human-ish shape. something that other mons like venusaur,torterra,swampert have some difficulty in showing.
