Well, it’s based on the purple frog, which has a sort of piggy nose..!

I'd say the comparison makes sense in that they're both bulky looking frogs/toads, but really that's like comparing linoone with furret, or butterfree with beautifly. Just my opinion though!

Retentoad is a interesting example of a fakemon that is both grotesque and very well designed. I imagine people being unnerved by its appearance if it were an actual Pokemon, but everything about its design fits with the creature is based on, and its fighting style.

I absolutely love the middle stage, it also reminds me a bit of a Dogū, which kinda makes sense as an immobile clay/mud frog

Hehe thanks. They're all meant to be kind of ugly but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
