Literally every single generation since 2, you have people ranting about how the new designs suck and "don't look like Pokemon anymore", it was bad when it was just genwunners but now people just arbitrarily decide the cutoff of when they stopped looking like Pokemon. There's always been humanoid, plant, object, animal, folklore, etc. types of Pokemon. Genwunners were rightfully clowned on for this and yet now you have gentwoers, genthreers, genfourers, genfivers, etc.
>>59625352The gen 6 and 7 games sucked but the gen 7 dex is fucking FIRE!Gen 8 was alright but very forgettable. Still look like Pokémon, even if I do not like them a lot.Gen 9 is the cutoff point because they look fucking hideous and I hate that dex!The gen 9 dex was clearly designed to be easy to model. Soo many fugly shitmons.
>>59625352Yeah, starter designs have been getting worse and worse, that's the pointAnd you too one day will reach the breaking point, and you will suddenly understand
>>59625352for all of my various flavours of distain for the pokemon company or games throughout the years, I have NEVER resorted to the "these pokemon designs are so bad now!" rhetoricevery generation has mons you will like, and mons you will hateevery single pokemon is at least one person's favorite, and nobody should be questioned for their choice of favorite pokemonyou can criticise the quality of the games all you like but the designs of the creatures themselves are sacred and should be respected
no matter how much time passes the golden rule always remainsodd gens >>>> even gens
>>59625364This is false because gen 5 is an odd gen and that one was trash.
gen 2 blends in pretty seamlessly with gen 1 if you ask me, albeit with more of a focus on "cuter" designs overall. gen 3 is where the design motifs became noticeably removed from gen 1, but even then there's a few that would feel at home in gen 1. loudred comes to mind>>59625364lmao in your dreams, 2 and 4 >>>>>>>> 5, 7, 9
>>59625356>gen 7 dex is fucking FIRE!Alola dex is full of comfy new mons
>>59625361>every generation has mons you will like, and mons you will hateGen 2 doesn't have a single Pokemon I hate actually, its absolute worst are just not all that noteworthy. There's nothing offensively bad in there
>>59625364Please do not group Kinnoh with K*los and G*lar.
>>59625375gen 7 was a mixed bag. it has some absolute kino but it also has incineroar and bruxish and a few others i REALLY dont likesame applies to gen 5 except even more so, gen 5 has some of the ugliest dogshit in the series but it also has a lot of seriously fucking cool mons (that you'll never get to use because of their retarded evolution levels lol)
>>59625356>>59625375I unironically think Gen 7 has the worst new additions to the series of any generation. Aside from the Gen 1 Pokemon reskins, half of which are trash anyways, the ONLY good new designs are Fomantis, Lurantis, and Golisopod. I guess Zygarde-C if that counts as a Gen 7 design. In terms of Pokedex:1 > 3 > 2 > 9 > 4 > 5 > 8 > 6 > 7
>>59625382Having good designs is more important than the absence shitmons.This is why I also love gen 5 despite being full of shitmons because it also has tons of amazing designs, especially edgymons.A gen with 50 Shitmons, 40 Sick designs and 10 absolutely fucking legendary designs would beat a gen with 100 acceptable designs.
>>59625386>Lurantis, Golisopod (you already mentioned)>Mudsdale>Torracat (Rare middle evo that beats the final evo)>Lycanroc>Wishiwashi (The cool swarm form, not the weak ass pussy form)>Tsareena>SilvallyAnd then it gets REALLY FUCKING SICK, BABY!!!>Guzzlord>Buzzwole>Pheromosa>Celesteela>Kartana>Guzzlord>Stakataka>But look at all the shitmon like Salazzle and the TapusDoesn't matter + every gen has shitmon!
>>59625388i would agree with this except gen 5's evolution levels mean you'll never get to use the cool shit in bw anyway until the game's practically overb2w2 made an effort to fix this by giving you some of them earlier and steepening the level curve a bit, so i can commend it for that. i still have a lot of other gripes with unova regardless but im not in the mood to be a genwarring faggot rnanyway my dex ranking is:2 > 1 > 3 > 4 > 7 > 5 ≈ 6 > 9 > 8im aware 2 in first place is a controversial opinion, but it's got 4 of my top 10, and like i said in >>59625377 it doesn't have anything i outright hate
>>59625397I will admit I forgot Buzzwole and Marshadow. The rest of them are bad to atrocious.
>>59625411hating the fairy type is a sign of low iq and insecurity.
>>59625411>Mudsdale terribleHave a death wish or something, fuckface?
>>59625416Low IQ and High IQ both agree Fairy was dogshit. It's just the midwits that like the type. You're not a midwit, are you?
>>59625411>Drampa in terriblePutrid taste, opinion immediately discarded
>>59625352>Literally every single generation since 2Yep because its all been downhill from there. Gen 1s starters were the best by far and anyone who says otherwise is coping big time.
>>59625428It's been 13 years, imagine if people were still bitching about dark and steel types when Gen 6 was new
anyone who thinks the starters get worse and worse should an hero.
>>59625411>Fairy type = Instant sub-dogshit tierBased!
>>59625436Dark and Steel were good ideas for new types. Fairy and its consequences are still plaguing Pokemon.
>>59625352Not reading any of this, just wanna say Gequa my beloved.
>>59625455would that be competitive pokemon mostly?
gen 1 is the only good and the most popular, It's the only thing that matters.
Soble was the end of Pokemon designs. One of the most disgustingly poorly designed mon I've ever seen. The moment that shit showed up in the trailer and I saw it's noodle limbs I knew it was over.
>>59625484>I saw it's noodle limbsjust like golbat!!
>>59625484That's because it wasn't made for you little boy.
>>59625455>>59625466Fairy is the gay type
My name ISN'T Hydreigon btw. Don't investigate that.
>>59625352gen 3 was definitely the beginning of the end with blaziken and gardevoir digimon pokemon. it's obvious that overall the art and design style of the games themselves changed way more between gen 2 and 3 than between gen 1 and 2.
>>59625502you can't be hydreigon, you're too fat, guzzlard.
>>59625507thats gamefreak copying other monster game dragon quest,digimon,yokai watch now palworld
gen 4 is still by far the worst and gen 5 is the only redeemable pile of shit beyond gen 22>1>5>>>>>7>6>3>>>>>>8>9>>>>4
>>59625520>dragon questGen 1 I think>digimon,Idk, gen 3 kinda maybe. Don't really see it.>yokai watch This is gen 7>palworldPLZA had Palwold gameplay but in shitty and badGen 10 might maybe copy Palworld.
>>59625364This man, this man gets it.
>>59625576gen 3 and 4
>>59625627and 6 mega evolution shit
>>59625352Pombon is so cute.
>>59625631This is the dead Pokémon era. You are not allowed to like them.
>>59625369>gen 2 blends in pretty seamlessly with gen 1 if you ask mei didn't ask you, and you're also wrong
>>59625352its obviously for sell plush, the bird ad dog are easy for plush and japan juts consoom now with the chiikwa crazy they are going to make more cutesy moeblob designs
>>59625679*chiikawa
>>59625679The biggest joke is that you will spend a total of 2 hours with the dog until it will stand up and become a waifu or an anime hero or just some jobmon.But people will still buy merch and plushies of him.
