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.

[Turner]

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

[Moon Chaser]

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.

[Moon Chaser]

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.

[Liam]

Glaceon has such a lame design.

[Dragonpika]

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.

[Richard and Blaziken]

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.

[MonsterMon64]

^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

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

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.
