>>58254253
>>58254253all better than anything that came after
>Gen 1 Pokémon with featureless arm nubs>No RaichuSuspicious...
>>58254253ok? still all better than 90% from gen 5 onwards
>>58254253ok? still all better than 90% from gen 6 onwards
>>58254270Raichu has fingers
>>58254253featureless nub arms are cute
>"I see. Most Pokemon in Gold & Silver were of the cute variety, but this time…”>Sugimori: “Indeed, there were a lot of kiddy designs, and some fans were starting to say Pokemon had become too babyish, so one theme for Ruby & Sapphire was returning to the coolness of monsters.>“In your previous interview at the time of Gold & Silver (February 2000 issue), you said when you were designing Pokemon, you had to consider merchandising, and that created some constraints.”>Sugimori: “Rather than constraints, I’d say we were careful about a lot of things. Like we’d say ‘if we don’t make a Pokemon this way, they’ll be difficult to animate in the TV show.’ We didn’t really think about those kinds of things this time, which might be bad for the anime staff and independent artists.”
>>58254300Why are you like this?
>>58254300>Rather than constraints, I’d say we were careful about (constraints)wise words
>>58254304Like what?
>>58254253Oh come on man you can't count Shuckle and not also count Tentacruel and Tentacool. They're tentacles, not hands.
>>58254253Can we really count Omanyte & Shuckle?>>58254265Apparently we can.
>>58254290No it fucking doesn't.Honestly what's even more confusing is that even before Pikachu got slimmed down it was still consistently depicted with little fingers.
>>58254316Looking back I do want more Baby Pokemon. There's this unfilled void from their absence.
>>58254325same espeon the only eevelution with not fingers
>>58254325
>>58254355is he flipping me off?
>>58254270Raichu is not featureless as it has the wavy brown texture>>58254318Tentacool isn't featureless, Tentacruel isn't a nub, it's a whole giant tentacle. It's not picking and choosing as Omanyte is still there, like shuckle it's sufficiently small. Do you know what a nub is?I love how people point out these debatable edge cases as if somehow its the gotcha that invalidates the overall trend. Pathetic
>>58254253the calarts monkey gets me every time
>>58254316>>58254300>>58254253You can just TELL these faggo were made to flop. Toddies like this crap?
>>58254452Tragic
>>58254452>calartsNow it's the DEI monkey
>>58254467>Cool ambiguous feral pig-monkey monster vs>Calarts DEI monkey-teletubby bastard child moeblob
I'd be forgiving of Aipom if it actually evolved(at the time). What was the point of adding that thing as a standalone? It's not even a gimmickmon
>>58254521He was supposed to be the next mascot
>>58254531Delet this
Are you guys in your 40’s???
>>58254521Hoenn had way more cases of Pokémon like that
>>58254557Yet is still superior. How come?
>>58254521It’s called soul
>>58254557It also has nearly twice the amount of pokemonYanmaAipomMurkrowMisdreavusCorsolaQwilfishGligarDunsparceSmeargle(gimmick)Unown(gimmick)Delibird(gimmick, kinda)Shuckle(gimmick, kinda)That's a whole lotta of underdeveloped single stages for a 100 dex that's already made up of so many babymon and crossgen evos.At least Sudowoodo, Stantler, Miltank, Heracross, Wobuffett, Girafarig and Mantine work as fully realized standalones.
>>58254567It's called pointless filler
>>58254603Even then Stantler and Mantine are fucking shit
Nubs are paws, simple as.
Nice fins bro, what a cool anglerfish you are
>>58254621Nice paws!
Nubs make me horny
>>58254603What's Shuckle gimmick?
>>58254959it makes berry juice if you give it a berrythats objectively more value then its in battle role btw
>>58254959Very high defence and low attack
>>58254974so wasting everyone's timepar for the course with gen 2
>>58254531That specific one is a she.
>>58254603>Inb4 hurr ackshually hitmontop is technically not crossgen so your pic is totally invalidated!
>>58255293If babys are awful enough to be included then Togetic should count as single stage
>>58255307Brain damage
>>58254621Lanturn's fins aren't even the biggest offender here, why did these retards think it'd be a good idea to replace Chinchou's cute and unique eyes with these generic anime eyes?
>>58254375he is now
>>58254621This is why noone takes you finfags seriously!
do you really need this many threads just to say "gen 2 le bad, gimme my updoots"
>>58254316This KILLED the Gorochu...
>>58256101babyshit was a mistake.
>>58254253And that’s a good thing!>>58255602I like Lanturn a lot, but yeah it’s definitely a downgrade from the perfection that is Chinchou.
Big yikes
>>58256581Why are Gen 2 mon so much better and cuter. I love Johto so much
>>58256581>Totodile & Feraligatr>Ledian>Ariados>Crobat>Xatu>Ampharos>Wooper & Quagsire>Espeon>Umbreon>Misdreavus>Forretress>Gligar>Steelix>Scizor>Heracross>Sneasel>Slugma & Magcargo>Piloswine>Skarmory>Houndoom>Kingdra>Donphan>Larvitar line>Lugia>CelebiJohtoCHADS, we're so lucky to have such kino designs...
>>58256636>not even mentioning meganium, octillery, lanturn, mantine, the legendary beasts or ho-ohincomplete list, but that only proves your pointjohto is great
>>58254253Yes, yes, KANTOOOOO's Pokedex is filled with early-installment weirdness and the Pokemon visual design was only solidified from Gen 2 onwards. We know.
>>58257720Tvtropes please go
>>58256653Why did you try to sneak Meganium and Octillery in there?
>>58254355checkedtoddies btfo
>>58254429it's sad that gen ii could never have produced as masterful a design even as basic as tentacool
>>58254467Soul labor of love work of art (Gen I)vsSoulless paint by the numbers corporate product (Gen II)
>>58257965>dubs>meaning anything10% of posts are dubs. Unless they call it, it doesn't mean anything
>>58254621
>>58256581>1 (one) new Ghost type added>Isn't used by the Ghost gym leader>Isn't even available until postgame What did they mean by this?
>>58258614>Takes one of the ugliest, spikiest, and most monsterous looking fish and turns it into a faggy moeblobDire. Gen 1 could never.
>>58254557>>58254603both are true, but hoenn desperately needs the same saving that gen 2 got with a shit ton of crossgen evos. I think it still has an abysmally low BST average compared to other gens
>>58254557A lot of hoenn’s were shoehorned in to promote double battles>volbeat/illumise>plusle/minun>solrock/lunatoneetcOnly ones that aren’t are sableye, mawile, luvdisc, spinda, and castform. And the latter 2 are actual gimmickmons.Hoenn’s other standalones are usable (Torkoal, Relicanth, Zangoose etc)
>>58256581I like Heracross, Noctowl and Porygon2. The rest is a mix of meh and utterly revolting
>>58257841because they're kino
>>58254265Did delibird really make it to the top 20 cutest johto mons? That's rough.
