User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: Flagship Subspecies/@comment-5020152-20170331143216

1) Brute Tigrex. I'm just a fan. He's just as fun as the regular Tigrex, and I really enjoy his new moves like that Temper Tantrum and the infamous Super Roar.

2) Stygian Zinogre, aka the Combo King of 4U. Calm down, son.

3) Akura Jebia, actually. What's the difference between it and Vashimu, exactly?

4) Green Nargacuga. I'd like to remake it as a subspecies that puts more emphasis on using its tail spikes - not like Lucent, but just give it more attacks that take advantage of its spikes' capacity to inflict Stun.

5) All of the Elite Four. It'd be awesome to see what they could do with different elements, in different environments, etc.

6) No subspecies is "completely" different from the original, really, but I will admit that the best subspecies are the ones that essentially redesign a monster into a completely different style. Glacial Agnaktor is the best example.

7) Variants are basically the same as Deviants - more powerful versions of a monster that don't really do anything completely novel, like Raging Brachydios being a larger Brach with more slime and Drilltusk Tetsucabra being a larger Tetsu with more rocks. Giving monsters subspecies gives you the opportunity to do something completely new with it, so yes, I prefer subspecies over variants.

8) I don't have any issue with the names, but rather their designations. At least half of all the "subspecies" are hand-waved as "genetic mutations". Including Baleful Gigginox, which is completely ridiculous. I mean seriously, WTF Capcom. Make up your minds, will you?
