It became your favorite Paldea starter?

Yup^^

Nice ^^

I still question the design of Maskagato a bit still, its not bad but it doesn't really jive with me. Its a combo of things that feel off to be with the Pokémon.

Maybe because the inspiration for this Pokemon was the Harlekin or italian Arlecchino, based on a superstition connected to the norse wild hunt, later adopted into the french and italian drama, the Arlecchino is a joker, trickster, good and evil, benevolent and malevolent at the same time, and it is said, they symbolise wandering bedween worlds.

Interesting to know that

looked it up on wikipedia, since I realized, that this Pokemon is inspired by the Harlekin^^

With this new information, its probably why. I gravitate towards surity and not designs that feel or represent "flip-floppiness", what you said about being both good and evil, benevolent and malevolent, wandering between worlds.
The stuff I like the most is asiatic stuff! Like one of the pictures I showed you for our Art Trade. I think you know what one or two pictures I mean! Something that feels either neutral or like they can do good!

Ah yes, totally forgot.

Here is the original Harlequin: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.....in-comedie.jpg

Oh no, yeah that's just a smidge unsettling. Its mostly the mask, aside from that the outfit definitely doesn't really jive or make me happy.

I can definitely see why you like it though, same with Maskagato. And with the comment I see below, I think Eternal could easily escape from almost any situation with ease and no suspicion aroused!

I plan to draw some kind of self portrait, how Eternal would look like as a prainer in the Paldea region and with his favourite Pokemon of the region.

Ooo. Like how you drew him during Hisui's time. And then I think before that was Alola? Am I right? .v.

Yup

Good thing I have relatively good memory.
Keyword being relatively.

A good take on one of the new Pokemon and I think Maskagato would be another Pokemon that would make a good avatar for Eternal, with the jester/harlequin imagery and the trickster nature and particularly the symbolism of wandering between worlds.

Would be interesting to give Eternal an anthro shape of a Maskagato
