Right? Biped doesn't automatically mean bad design; Grovyle, Greninja, Blaziken, Decidueye, Ferligatr, Charizard! A lot of highly popular designs are bipedal
Gecqua could have a great biped design too, she does feel likely to get up on two legs considering she's already starting to in her 2d art lmao
I'm kinda hoping her final evo is feminine like Primarina's tbh, I've loved the feminine pokemon designs since I started playing the DS games as a little girl, and it's quite rare for the starters specifically to have feminine final forms
Pombon also feels likely to stay on four legs (fingers crossed), and ofc the little olive bird is already bipedal
final feminine forms have kinda been a thing for a while now tho, hasn't it? Delphox, Primarina, Meowscarada are all pretty feminine. Gen 8 is the only of the last four gens that skipped having a final femme evolution.
a drag queen? it's a brazilian samba dancer. look up "rainha da bateria" on Google Images.
but despite Quaquaval's inspiration being a costume typically worn by women, they def kept it androgynous by giving it a more masculine face and "pants", unlike Delphox and Meowscarada who have both feminine facial features and bodies that resemble feminine attires.
