I can understand that humanoid shapes for fighting types does make them standardized, but that's what I actually like about them. I like that in a similar concept to eevee evolutions they follow a pattern that makes them relate to each other. I don't discount the fighting legendaries that are four legged, but I prefer fighting types to be on two legs.

There is still so much imagination in fighting type designs.

Personally, keep them similar to what they are, and if you feel the need to change anything, just altar them slightly or create a more detailed version of them.

They are still one of my favorite fighting fakemon, hence why I came back to this page after so long.

Also, I bet their shiny colors are beautiful!
