Galar had a downright awful Pokedex full of awful, unfunny joke mons with facial hair. No matter what you dislike about modern Pokemon designs, no matter how much you can try to shit on Gen 9 for literally anything, Galar did it worse.

Not as much as the cat, which was true even since its reveal.
Also fuck no, Meowscrada and Skeledirge have nothing going for them. Hell, often I forget they're supposed to be based on performers. which is a fucking stupid theme for the Spain region.

If your only defense is "uh they wanted to fuck Cinderace too" you're not proving me wrong.

Because the cat just has a stronger design. Cinderace is entirely forgettable.
>Meowscrada and Skeledirge have nothing going for them
Meowscrada's black and white contrast stands out in a very nice way. Skeledirge itself has a rather intimidating design which we haven't seen for a starter in awhile too.
I really can't say anything about Galar's designs.

the treasures of ruin are the best legendary group ever and I'm not kidding

>>57250029
Treasures of Ruin are cool and have sick lore, was this supposed to be a gotcha? Literally everyone was clowning on Calyrex when it was revealed.
>>
>>57250034
Its actually insane how well designed it is. Legs are black and smooth which not only provides contrast with the white body, but looks like stockings as well. It's just really well done.
>>
>>57250025
Again, the only reason people remember Meowscrada is because they want to fuck it, there is nothing about it that stands out compared to something like Inceneroar. And Skeledirge is a fine, but an entirely forgettable fire mon, and doesn't hold a candle to the other croc mons we've gotten in the past, and again, I often forget its supposed to be a soprano, which came right the fuck out of nowhere considering its previous forms.

I've already described how the design stands out. Just look at it, >>57249938 . Black and white breaks up the design, it has a consistent, subtle leaf motif. It leans into it in a nice way. It's not even a messy design too, which Incineroar is.
>And Skeledirge is a fine, but an entirely forgettable fire mon, and doesn't hold a candle to the other croc mons we've gotten in the past
It's better than Feraligatr, which is a forgettable design.
These designs are just better than the Galar trio. Rillaboom, Intellion and Cinderace dropped off the face of the Earth for a reason.

Feraligatr is just not an interesting design, at all. There's really nothing going on with it. The Johto trio in general fell into obscurity for a reason.

I think the main issue with Gen 8's designs is that they're so aggressive about being Bri'ish and don't even think about trying to make the Pokemon look and feel organic in any way. Cinderace is just blatantly a soccer player, Mr. Rime is just Chaplin, G Weezing is your typical bing bong british man complete with wacky silly smokestacks, Obstagoon is just a walking KISS reference, etc.
Other Pokemon and even generations aren't immune to this either, people loved calling Braviary the AMERICA Pokemon and its a fun time, but unlike Unova, Galar just does the same shallow joke again and again and again. Here's the smokestacks because they're British, here's a walking teapot because they're British, here's a soccer player, here's stonehenge. Do you get it? It's a british Pokemon, do you GET IT??

In other generations when a Pokemon has very clear inspiration on something, said Pokemon still retains an air of originality that gets people interested in them even if they don't know the origin. For example, Mawile is based off of a futakuchi-onna, but even if you didn't know that, the cute face with the bigass jaws still leaves a big impression on you anyways. Bombirdier is based off the fable of storks delivering babies to people, but it twists the concept by turning it to a fucking asshole that drops stuff for fun, making an otherwise boring as shit concept new and fun.
You don't get that with Galar mons, and in turn, if you don't appreciate the WE ARE BRITISH joke, then these mons do nothing for you. I think that's why when it comes to popular Pokemon from the generation, people gravitate to ones that are actually just fucking Pokemon and not one note jokes, like Dragapult and Grimmsnarl.
>>
>>57249867
Gen 9 has enough good new pokemon that you could put together a team of 6 out of them with type diversity, which is better than average for a pokemon gen.
>>
>>57250158
funny, I never thought about it like this.
I always thought that the nu-gen Pokemon designs don't commit ENOUGH to their theming, and that they're too generic to be memorable.
Now that I read this though I guess the ones that are based on more cultural british icons do oversell it quite a lot.

Most of Galar's Pokedex leans too much into anthromorphism and stereotypes. You used Braviary as an example. If Braviary was made today it would be a prideful fat cartoon bald eagle that eats cheeseburgers.

Also imo the region isn't British enough or is atleast British in the wrong ways. The goofy bri'ish stuff was never complimented by characters or pokemon that reflected any old anglo-saxon or celtic mythology.

kek, this is true, even if Braviary is super American it can still pass as just a big bird, Obstagoons concept is so in your face its more kiss reference than actual mammal.

Galar has higher highs but lower lows, I'd much rather use Appletun or Grimmsnarl or Corviknight than just about any Paldeamon, but in exchange you have G-Stunfisk, Sandaconda, and the abysmal starters.
