That's a fair point, actually. I'd love for it to be another Crocodile, but it would end up looking like the same kind of Godzilla/Dinosaur-esque design that Feraligator and Krookadile (and to a lesser extent Tyrantrum, Haxorus, and Tyranitar) already pretty much have. Not that they couldn't do another one, but Gamefreak has been paying attention to people's complaints so I'm sure they're wary of repeating designs too much. What if they were to do something like this:I didn't skip that part (at least, I didn't mean to come across like that), I just don't think the male croc=bulls bit justifies it as a launching point. Feraligatr and Krookodile already have dinosaur/prehistoric reptile elements in their designs so it gaining any traits from them wouldn't be new ground, and in fact it'd be par the course.
I do understand your point on wanting it to be differentiated from the other crocodile/alligator Pokemon we already have though. It's one of my concerns with it as well (and Quaxly to a lesser extent) and I'm hoping they'll play around with it so it stands out from both and other reptilian starters like Snivy or Chikorita.
Obviously with a more pepper flair to it, but a centaur-like crocodile? or even a 6 legged crocodile (which means it wouldn't be Bipedal)? I know they don't like to get too overly detailed with designs for pokemon, but maybe they could do one of these two ideas while keeping it relatively simple.
As for Quaxley, I am 100% expecting him to turn into a Water/Fighting Matador where one of his wings can be used as a cape and his feather tuft atop his head is the traditional hat.
And finally, for Spirigato (who I'm really tempted to choose as my starter) I'm hoping for a Black Jaguar. Since they typically live in the forest anyway, should be a pretty easy thing to make look good. A nice elegant Jaguar that's black and vibrant green with vines or a fur coat of foliage.
