Isn't it surprising there's no response why this creature was scrapped twice?? Despite everything, people wish Kotora will come back in a future Pokémon game, so that would be quite interesting to hear the developers' thoughts on the love it gets.

    Gotta say, I like the idea of Kotora and Spheal getting along ! 😊

    This is the beta Pokémon I wish they'd kept the most, right up there with Woofman/Warwoof. Spheal is also cute, but I'm not quite sure I buy the fan theory that Kotora's design eventually evolved into it.

    Bringing up some additional stuff, Kotora evolves to Raitora and it has a unnamed final form.

    Not much is known about the third stage, but I'll send a feedback just in case.

    I think it'd be cool if it got redesigned as a Pika-clone since it looks like Dedenne and Togedemaru, so it'd fit.

    Feel like sharing this page which is from a french book made by Loup Lassinat-Foubert. It's interesting to find out that many fans are hoping that Kotora will be included in the Pokédex one day.

    Design wise, I think it would fit pretty well with the other cute spherical Pokémon like Marill or Jigglypuff.

    i feel it looks too much like a real tiger. Which is forbidden by tiger law.

    Thinking about the world of Pokémon Winds and Waves and how its inspire Southeast Asia countries like Indonesia. A Pokemon based on the Sumatran tiger would fit the region pretty well, considering the amounts of islands.
