I've always found it kind of annoying when people say "STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT GEN V, GEN I ALSO HAD UNORIGINAL POKEMON, LOOK THERE WAS A PILE OF TRASH BACK THEN TOO". First of all, a pile of trash isn't a bad idea, I don't think simplistic == bad. Second of all, if Muk is such a bad idea, then how does that excuse Garbador? Surely you're undermining your own argument because you're telling people to stop complaining about Pokemon which are copies of 'badly designed' Pokemon, doesn't that make them even worse? My only problem with Gen V was that they totally copied the Gen I design formula, I know it was meant to be a reboot but it still felt cheap and like a repeated experience.Anyway, as for terrible Pokemon ideas I'd have to admit that Exeggcute is just well...eggs with eyes. I'm not sure if it's a terrible idea but it wasn't until a few generations on that I realized how out of place it seems. I think the Vanilluxe line looks awful and I'll never like the idea behind it, I've had people tell me it was icicles but Ken Sugimori said in an interview that James Turner intended for it to be a double scoop ice cream, I think that's a sloppy idea and not even cleverly executed.I do agree on Lickililly too but I've always managed to avoid it so it doesn't really bother me. Pineco is a favorite of mine and Illumise...I've never had a problem with but it's never been a favorite.Baby Pokemon are fine, I think they at least provide some solid background for the Pokemon we know, they might be useless but they serve as a reminder that not every Pokemon is born strong, it'd be too boring if that were the case.Stunfisk I really dislike, though it's not because of it's design...it's that smarmy face laughing at me while I EV train HP, constantly getting paralyzed and missing attacks due to Muddy Water.
Also, moreso than being incognito bombs, Voltorb and Electrode (and by extension, Foongus and Amoongus) are pretty much mimics, which are a staple of a lot of other RPGs, serving to lure in adventurers thinking they're getting sweet loot, only to be attacked violently. I've always liked mimics, so I can't hate any of them. Most people are gonna be "So what? It's still lazy" even having that pointed out, though, and I can't really blame them.
MushroomLizard - in future, please, may not swear in your posts, even if it's stared out, we'd rather not have it on the site. Thank you.
Why are we discussing bad Pokemon designs instead of bowing to Blaziken? Agreement with Magneton and Dugtrio, but I think they work. Magneton is actually one of my favorites. Klink's line isn't unoriginal, it'a actually very original. Forget "It's just more gears each time", actually look at the sprite. They added a lot of complexity by the end of it and made the animation incredibly smooth. I think they deserve a lot of props for being able to do that. Muk is a living pile of sludge with an arm. Your arguments are invalid. While I don't particularly like Garbador, I don't hate it either. It's pretty original, a garbage bag from a landfill coming to life as a poisonous monster, you gotta give 'em that.
Too be honest, I think the hoenn starters were the best and Blaziken's cool, but I like Sceptile and Swampert better. I think you should just give up on this whole Blaziken thing and just become a Swampert fan instead, he's much cooler.
Yeah, I suppose so, but still, I kinda like the idea of that, but I still don't really like it, if that makes sense. Forgot to mention foongus and Amoongus. Annoying as heck running into them all the time, thinking it was a pokeball. I guess you could say voltorb, elctrode, foongus, and amoongus are the trolls of the pokemon world.Yeah, sorry about that. I won't swear again. UH, I would presume "heck" is fine, right?Ha, Blaziken's pretty cool I guess. Too be honest, I think the hoenn starters were the best and Blaziken's cool, but I like Sceptile and Swampert better.
