Wasn't expecting a shitpost to need further discussion but aight
I can recognize that Viv has an aesthetic and artistic vision she wants to stick to and still be critical.
My main issue with Satan's design is that it's boring. The only thing that makes him stick out as a significant character are the markings on his body without it he'd honestly look like a background character to me.
I'm not saying he NEEDS to look exactly like the red dragon of revelation but if he had something like a crown, multiple faces, or even just visual references to the number seven it'd read more as specifically Satan instead of just some red dragon that happens to live in hell.
I feel that alot of Hellaverse (though mostly hellava boss) has no particular reason to be set in hell aside from aesthetics and when those aesthetics are primarily taken from an established religion you're inviting comparisons to other religious inspired media which, in my opinion, utilize the imagery found in Christianity more effectively.
Admittedly this post is a bit more mean spirited than I perhaps intended and I acknowledge that but I stand by the sentiment that the design is mediocre in my opinion.
Woah bro it's like the red dragon from Bible dude. It's like that thing from the Bible. You know, the bible. Ignore that the red dragon is supposed to have seven heads, seven crowns and ten horns and also that it's supposed to be a sign of the apocalypse in Revelation. It's some kid's dragon OC in a Yu-Gi-Oh outfit now.
It's a Bible thing. We're so smart and good at character design mhm.
Get in losers it's Ranamon appreciation hours.

Didn't want any of them to have legendary/mythical Pokemon! ╮(^▽^)╭
Felt like it'd be more fun to have their teams be filled with Pokemon they could realistically find on their own though I agree Deoxis would fit too.
Reasons for the Pokemon under the cut
Clefable - I wanted him to have Pokemon that related to his interest in aliens and Clefable is implied to be from space. I like to think that Cleffa is the first Pokemon he ever got and helped to further spark his interest in extraterrestrials.
Beheeyem - Similar to Clefable it's based on aliens but it's also based on trenchcoat wearing paranormal investigators and Okarun would for sure be a big fan of that. Plus, it takes more inspiration from Western Sci-fi tropes and Okarun is also into that.
Lapras - I wanted some of his Pokemon to be based on cryptids as well and Lapras is partially based on the Loch Ness Monster.
Dunsparce - Same with Lapras, it's based on a cryptid but with the added note that it's based on the Tsuchinoko so it's also a reference to that one scene in Episode 11.
Orbeetle - It's first stage evo, Blipbug, literally looks like Okarun with the hair and the glasses. Plus, Orbeetle is partially inspired by UFOs and has many alien like qualities to it.
Smeargle - Not much to this one tbh. I mostly added it cause Okarun likes to draw and I wanted him to have a Pokemon that showed that though I can see it being traded out for a Zangoose since it matches his Turbo form and it's got a pretty similar disposition.

Nah, when you start getting shit like recognizing scents involved you've well crossed the line into homo territory.

Toriyama really said "Okay so Goku has this older brother who wears these tiny little shorts and a weird band (?) around his ridiculously thicc thigh and also has long beautiful fluffy looking hair. Got it? Good! We'll never discuss him again after this!" 😭
