Muk/Grimer.  I mean I like them, but if they had been a fourth or fith generation design, they would have been shown as a sign of pokemon's 'declining quaility' well imo anyway.

Personally I think Luvdisc has the least creative design. It's a sideways heart with a face.

Vanillite's evo chain, or trubbish/garbador

I understand what people say about Muk/Grimer, but at least we get detail on why they are there. In their Pokedex entries it's always explained that X-rays from the moon made contact with piles of sludge in a sewer (This is around the time we had stuff like Clefairy and it was hinted that Pokemon came from the moon) so it made more sense.

Trubbish and Vanillite haven't ever been explained. Not to mention sludge is just something that happens when certain chemicals mix...it's a lot more natural than an ice cream cone/rubbish bag with a face

Trubbish is explained in the White pokedex entry: The combination of garbage bags and industrial waste caused the chemical reaction that created this Pokemon.

Nothing on how Vanillite exists.

Fair enough but that sounds like a description trying to justify the design rather than the design being born from a description/idea. I'd say that's my beef with a handful of Gen V pokemon; it's like someone designed them and then tried to come up with a story around the description instead of coming up with an idea and turning it into a Pokemon.

I see exactly what you mean. It feels like they had the design of the Trubbish and Vanillite's line and had no idea how they would work. I don't exactly feel it's a descent explanation, but at least there is one.

I say ditto. However, ditto's ability of being able to transform is pretty cool.

Glaceon has such a lame design.

Would you really call it the least creative though? It has one of those fluffy hats with earflaps on :3 more creative than Leafeon, which is literally just a thing with some leaves stuck to it.

(I love them both, just trying to be objective here.)

Pidove and its friends are pretty unimaginative.. Pidove especially is literally just a pigeon.

It is really sad that they made vomit into a Pokemon, lit it on fire, and named it Infernape. ):

But also I think Voltorb probably gets my vote.

^I wish I could say my most hated Pokemon is also the one I consider the least creative, but I actually like the concept behind Duosion and either end of its line. I just hate Duosion SO MUCH due to some personal grudges.


Anyway, this question is a tough one for me. I'd say Unown, but... I can't really back my claim up. Just the first that comes to mind when I read the question, but then I take a look at them and can't help but think I'd want plastic refrigerator magnets made out of them. <<;


Out of those listed on the poll, though... I guess Grimer and Muk, but only due to process of elimination.

I just see it as a lame, blue Eevee. :p

Ponder this theory.
Ditto is pink. So is Mew.
Both are the only Pokemon to learn Transform by level.
Ditto is in the Cinnabar mansion where mew was researched.
Is Ditto a failed attempt at cloning Mew?

My option is not on this list... I'd say it's the entire Klink family.

First, we have Klink, which is two gears.

Then, we have Klang which is the same two gears with a third gear added on.

Then, we have Klinklang which is the same three gears with another gear and a wheel added on.

And their Japanese names makes it all even worse.

I voted Voltorb and Electrode :P
They really do look like Poke Balls! With eyes. Maybe they're spies..

voltorb/electrode and luvdisc
luvdisc is a heart shaped fish. GREAT IDEA

For me, Beartic is so boring. Just a bear with an icy jaw? Really underwhelming :<

I've always believed Lickilicky was an abomination since I first saw it. Its name is SOOOOOOOOO uncreative and it's shaped like a pile of lard! It is just so fat looking! Even Snorlax doesn't look like a pile of fat and that's what its (Snorlax) body is! So I say Lickilicky is the least creative Pokemon in both name AND looks. The only thing I thought was interesting is how Lickitung must learn Rollout and then level up in order to evolve.

I thought that was the point... :/

I have always thought of it as having an "icicle" beard. I mean if Emboar has a beard of fire, why can't Beartice be seen with a beard of icicles?

The worst creatrive is Garbodor what the hell dude its a exploded trash bag i mean come on >:(

psyduck, its just got a big head and 3 hairs

Personally I have to wonder why the heck is Magnemite and Magneton in a list for "least creative"? They are actually pretty creative in my opinion. I could understand if they were dull... but....

I'd say Wailord. Exactly like a whale.

luvdisc........ nuff said

Trubbish & Garbardor No Doubt!

Well, I think you have to be careful about 'Least creative'... Because... Well, creativity isn't always complexity or WTFness. Sure, you can say that Vanillice is a failed idea, but I wouldn't say it's not CREATIVE. Turning an ice cream into a pokemon doesn't strike me as unimaginative even if the execution was rather poor.

For me least creative would be something like... To take an example, Ponyta. And don't get me wrong, I still love Ponyta, and I still think the design was pulled off well. But a horse, only the mane and tail are fire. It's not exactly a difficult concept to come up with. Execution was great, and the Pokemon is much loved, but creatively there wasn't much of a challenge there.

That is so true, I agree, voltorb also gets my vote.

To be fair, the English names aren't half bad. It's a bit lame though. Imagine if it was, Klink, Klinklink, and Klinklinklink.

The Korean names are this bad too: Giareu, Gigiareu and Gigigiareu.

By the way, Foongus. We have already a Pokemon resembling a Pokeball.

... Chespin's not on that list? Why not? It's basically just a grass/bug type Oshawott.

EDIT: Anyway, I voted Trubbish. It's basically just a rubbish bag with what appears to be a pikachu smothered inside. Voltorb on the other hand may have just inspired the pokeball, rather than copied it.

To be fair that was probably so they could have another 'OH HEY AN ITEM--Wait no, it's a pokemon'. I kind f like it personally, it's a fun idea XD

Grimmer is just..ugh..I don't even know..

Actually, monkey-like Pokemon and horse-like Pokemon. Any Pokemon whose designs had been overused too much.

Why do so many people hate on Gen five and four's Pokemon designs? I can name many more, some being hitmonchan, basically a boxer, muk/grimer, piles of goo, pidgey, a bird, and caterpie, a caterpillar

are we forgetting about the floating rock with arms here, aka geodude? don't get me wrong, golem's pretty good but honestly geodude's just, well, what i just said basically

Slowpoke

What the hell is that thing??

Where is Geodude?

Or Klink..

Or Exeggcute..?

They belong on this list! xD

Least creative well it would be Trubbish, like who would want a piece of rubbish as a pokemon in their party? No offense Trubbish.

I would have to go with ekans, not only is his name backwards but his color palate sucks as well.
