If that's what you asked, then all you did was set up your respondent to confirm your own opinion. You didn't ask an open-ended question and you certainly didn't really give people much room to disagree with you. The fact that you asked if people thought there was something wrong with it means that your sampling of people come in with the assumption that there is in fact something wrong with it, in which case they will simply look for whatever they think you think is wrong with it.
If you wanted an accurate sampling of people's opinion, you can't lead them in with a question that forces them to agree with you. A better way of asking would be "What do you think the strong points and weak points of this Pokemon's design is?" or even simpler -- "What do you think of this Pokemon?"
That way, you're not setting up the respondent to assume there's something already wrong with it.
Then again, though, you can't really re-ask these people since they already have a preconception of how they should answer. You'd have to interview a fresh sampling of people if you were going to get an accurate idea of what the "average person" feels about this Pokemon.
Also, I don't know why you're going to whine about Blaziken and Reshiram when there's the challis-of-phallus Pokemon Lileep and Cradilly. Those are questionable designs.
This is creating problems for the sake of complaining.
Yes you got me, you also forgot to point out the fact that I only asked mothers in my area, that I did not display their answers, or how many I asked. It was never intended to be a scientific study, but a simple analysis, however "biased" I created the question.
Hmm for what, the fourth time now? I've already said that I am FINE with blaziken and that it was in fact an example I used to show this particular aspect used in a more reasonable degree.
Also I made it clear in my post SHAPE and LOCATION. First of all, the lileep line is clearly animal that looks like a sea flower (I have no idea what the creature is called, but it is modeled almost to the T of that real live animal), secondly, it's on it's face, if anything it looks like dreds, and thirdly a better example would've been to bring up tangela, the lileep line is far from inappropriate to the degree of reshiram. The tangela line is simple a random mass of vines and tentacles, almost like a ball of yarn, I guess that yes this can be seen as inappropriate, however this pokemon barely has a shape, too undefined to be seen as something so clear. It looks like spaghetti before it looks like a mass of phallic symbols.
Reshiram however, has a very clear and precise shape, also the location of said phallic symbol is key to the folly here. Say this particular "tuft" was on his back. Nothing wrong right? Now what about the shape, change into say, something more of a lioncloth look, or a simple circular tuft. Once again problem solved, right?
But no, they had to put this particular shape, in this particular location. This isn't appropriate for a child's franchise, it's too far of a stretch to assume that it is something else.
