Every Gen has some Barry Crockers, but Gen 1 designs are the worst overall.

Unpopular opinion: People don't hate the new Pokemon, they hate the current art direction.
>>
>>58235298
it's genuinely interesting how at-home Blastoise feels beside them when they're all drawn in the same art style

You're thinking about art style and no, here's the Kanto starters in the vilest most low effort art style there is and they are still leagues ahead of the bobblehead plushies in the bottom

There's so much more to art direction than the style they are drawn in. Saying "People don't hate the new Pokemon, they hate the current art direction." might as well be "People don't hate the new pokemon, they just hate the new pokemon" or essentially "People wouldn't hate the new pokemon if the new pokemon were designed differently". Well no shit

awful shitters on top (except for Schiggy, we ALL love Schiggy)

Soul, so much SOVL. Show me current gen pokemon with this much AVRA.
>>
>>58234556
gen 3 and 5 have "cooler" (not necessarily better) designs
>>
>>58235298
still not big on Incineroar and Dragapult but otherwise yeah
Incineroar's back just needed to be different from his front. his torso is a perfect fucking rectangle it looks so stupid
and I dob't like how "obviously a jet plane" Dragapult's head is. wish it was more subtle, I can't imagine a creature evolving to look like that

correct, because at least it's an interesting looking fictional monster and not a boring as fuck lazy cartoon animal like what we get in later gens.

I love this little piece of shit like you wouldn't believe. Why did they suck the soul out of it by making it thinner over time and giving it a neck? Where did it all go so wrong?

New clears. I'm sorry

can't make this shit up

>>58236285
drawing gurdurr with le ebin watercolor art style won't change the fact that it has a tiny waist and retarded cartoon veins
>>
>>58236286
Idk, i unironically really like Gurdurr
>>
>>58236274
yeah dude gen 1 would never have basic animals that looked like they belong in a cartoon network show with talking animals
>>
>>58236286
>art direction..? w-what's that? it's just the painting/coloring style, right?
Yep, retard detected!
>>
>>58236294
>only able to find 26 pokemon in a dex of 151
>still fails by including growlithe and psyduck which aren't cartooon animals
LMAO
>>
>>58236314
changing the design to be something it isn't isn't "art direction", retardo
>>
>>58236316
Holy esl
>>
>>58235298
Nah the humanisation is revolting, particularly of the starters. If starters were still like they were before gen 6 I wouldn't have a problem.
>>
>>58236340
Holy projection

>>58236352
>If starters were still like they were before gen 6
Gen 5's starters were dogshit too.
>>
>>58236352

kek every time

NTA, but it's part of ART direction
>>
>>58235304
I'm more surprised by how good Rillaboom looks in that style, and although Incineroar and Urshifu are still ugly and look like villains from old cartoons (Looney toon anatomy), they really look like characters that would appear in the old GB version.
>>
>>58234556
>Jynx
>Paras
>Voltorb
>Dildo i mean Ditto
>cool
>>
>>58236562
Those are different designs.
>>
>>58236591
I don't think they would
>>
>>58236591
the evidence is in front of your eyes but you cant see it
>>
What a random selection, even Jynx is there
>>
>>58237279
A big reason why I love Gen 1 era marketing, they really showcased pretty much every Pokemon in some form. Although that was mainly in the first couple of years before they'd settle on Pikachu, the starters, Mewtwo, Psyduck, Poliwhirl, Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Meowth.

I don't see the engine/launcher holes or the landing strip pattern

off model official art my beloved
>>
>damn bro you got the whole squad laughing
>>
>>58234556
There is something incredibly charming about blocking in your art with nothing but a soft airbrush in your totally legit copy of photoshop, before they went with their subscription model.
Old Digimon illustrations were like this as well.
>>
>>58234556
Only four of those Pokémon are actually cool.
>>
>>58239286
and those are mewoth butterfree pikachu snorlax
>>
>>58235298
I hate the new Pokémon because of the current art direction. Only the cross-gen evolutions and megas from this generation are not terrible because they have to adhere to the older designs.
>>
>>58235327
the designs and the style have both gotten worse but the style can be used to bring down the old or mask problems of the new (somewhat).
