So I don't know if I missed a detail that ties into this, but Armarouge and Ceruledge have designs that remind me a lot of Gallade (if not the Gardevoir line in general), with armor on.
The rounded head shape (visible even below the "mask" on their helms), the Humanoid build with relatively sleek/thin limbs, filling out the design space with additional-but-still-sleek "clothing" (Gardevoir's gown, Gallade's blades and whatever's on his hips), a Physical/Special duality between counterparts, Ceruledge's Arms being blades as opposed to wielding them (like Gallade's extensions), and this last one is probably coincidence, but Ceruledge's Height is exactly the same as Gardevoir/Gallade at 5'3"/1.6 m tall (this mostly sticks out because of all the other design similarities, otherwise I'd have just assumed coincidence).
I wonder if they might have started as Paldean Gardevoir/Gallade designs at one point, but assuming there's no connection now, my impression of them is being "that pair of (single-stage?) Pokemon that appear together a few times in the anime, or version exclusives despite pairing together", akin to Hitmonlee/Chan before Tyrogue, Magmar/Electabuzz, Scyther/Pinsir (later Pinsir/Heracross), Zangoose/Seviper, Sawk/Throh, etc.
Those types of Pokemon (and/or their evolutions) have quite the spectrum of performance, whether as in-game Pokemon or in Competitive battling, so without checking leaks for yet more info, I'm very much in wait-and-see for how they'll play, though I find the designs themselves pretty sick (though I liked the Ralts evos' designs that I made several comparisons to so that might be a bias)
