Recently, the veteran game 'Roco Kingdom' found itself in hot water over a 'fan-creation' event. While the studio invited players to submit designs with the promise of incorporating them into the game, the actual final product left both the original artist and the community deeply dissatisfied.
Judging from the original drafts, the artist's intent was clearly to design something cute and soft. However, when the dev team brought the character into the game, the final evolution turned the design into a muscular 'Xionggui' (a slang term referring to hyper-masculine, muscular male character tropes). This massive tonal shift triggered a backlash from the creator and the community.
Netizens have mocked the situation, comparing it to an online dating 'catfish' incident—expecting something cute but getting a buff transformation instead. Critics point out that the design strongly resembles a specific fighting-type cat from another popular creature-collecting franchise. Many argue that since the devs changed the design without consulting the creator, the entire 'co-creation' premise is invalidated.
In the comment section, fans joked that this move was a targeted attack on 'furry enthusiasts.' Others questioned whether such a drastic redesign could actually be considered 'adopting fan feedback.' Long-time players lamented that the game has a history of 'ugly' redesigns for popular pets, jokingly claiming that 'the true essence of Pokemon lives in Roco Kingdom' due to these controversial evolutions.
