Pixel Joint Forum: Help with poses

Message

   I'm currently working on a sprite of the pokemon Deoxys, and i'm having some trouble deciding on what pose i should stick with. 
One one hand i like the motion and movement implied in the left pose, but then on the other hand i like the battle ready fighting pose on the right, and i have a weakness for the oversized and spread hand lel.

I need some insight on which pose looks more natural and flows well, or just give me your personal opinion on which one you think looks better overall. Thanks!

	I feel like both feel very "action pose-y" (which is good) and neither looks unnatural or wrong. As they are, I personally prefer the one in the right, the other one is a little more cliché, so to speak. Only thing I'd change is the position of his right arm. Quick edit below:
