You know what? I know every pokemon game is a reskin and for the most part they are all the same but I love it. "Innovation" sucks shit. There I said it. Everytime someone tries to change their game dramatically it has a 95% chance of turning out worse. There are a lot of games that if they had just had slight updates over long periods of time Id still be playing them.

I know most people secretly feel the same way too. Look at the cartoon Scooby Doo. One of the most popular and easily recognized cartoons in the world and every episode was exactly the fucking same.

Why is such a simplistic design such as pic related so much more effective than shit like what we're seeing here;
>>341868279
>>341868704

Bright colours and 'edgy' or wierd designs don't make good pokemon because they're totally overboard and unrelatable. If i've got all these colours and designs flashing in my face i'm not going to remember one from another.

There are some exceptions, i mean Gen II with Typhlosion and others worked well because they weren't ridiculously over exaggerated but at the same time unique and diverse enough to relate back to the roots of Gen I (Based upon real animals).

Too many pokemon designs these days like >>341869276 are taking on human designs and it just ruins the magic and whole element of pokemon being animals in a world that we saw in previous installments.

tldr; They're running out of ideas, moving away from the original concept and making pokemon less memorable and more 'in your face'.

Let me help you out here kiddo.
An effective pokemon is one that you remember because its design sticks with you. If you go overboard in a pokemons design it becomes a 'mess' and isn't very easy to recall down the line based upon appearance.

The fact i can remember most of Gen I & II pokemon based on their appearance alone) but am unable to recall some of the main new features in future games is worrying. You could argue we're getting too many pokemon added per Gen but its because they're being to 'artsy' and forcing this trend of adding more 'bits' and 'bobs' and adding a range of colour palettes to make them new and flashy but in turn this ruins the aesthetic look that the original generations had, which made them so charming.

Basic desgins like pic related stick in your mind. You remember them. That's how they're effective.

Here's the difference between early and modern Pokemon


>Early Pokemon
Didn't take itself too seriously. Pokemon training was more of a hobby, that normal people would spend maybe a Saturday watching. The villains were real with feeasible motives. The lore matches the real world (China and South America existing in their world)

Now,

Cartoon, Dragonball Z tier villains with plots of impossible galactic domination. Everyone and their mother is a trainer. Anime world where people dress like this (on the right) >>341870223

/v/ is the where all the contrarians in the world come and spew shit.
In the mid-late 00s and the early 10s most normalfags despised gen 3-5 designs, so /v/ praised them. Now that people are turning around and saying "hey, maybe these new pokemon aren't so bad" /v/ is suddenly genwun central again.

No, it didn't.
The reason you're saying that is because you find them the most relatable.
Also adding voice to a pokemon like with Lucario was god awful. Especially when they stand up right and are literally 'Hurrrh human pokemon' in the flesh.

It's because Gen 1 and 2 pokemon were in your face for a combined total of six years before Ruby and Sapphire happened. Four of those years were Gen 1 exclusively, in fact.

As you can see (I presume you're not retarded then) we have a difference in opinion, so its more opinionated.

The idea is to make the pre-evolved forms look more cute anon. Of course they look "cartoony", but they also are cuter than the old ones.

dude, the majority of anons here have played gen 1 and 2. Can't say that for the others. the pokemon craze was in its peak then, shit was everywhere. It was a formative point in your life, in terms of what you would remember and latch on to later.

so NO FUCKING WONDER you remember the early ones more, like is this even a fucking question? if we switched the rosters of gens 5 and 1, you would be having this same nostalgia for it, and everybody would know them.

If you want to actually argue about good designs we can do that, but you CANNOT just say "well the ones I remember are good, the rest are shit" as if that isn't the most obvious thing in the world. you remember the ones from the games you put the most time into, whoodathunk

again, fuck off.

>>341871625
>we have a difference in opinion

WOW ANON, WHAT AN OBSERVATION

You mean to tell me fags who played the game from Gen 1 as a child would remember shit that gave them fond memories as a child?

Then again, they don't seem to remember that the graphics of the old pokemon games were comparatively garbage, so maybe they're just fucking senile and hallucinating the new pokemon under the new style.

I can remember some of the shitty designs of the newer games just because they stick out. Who would fuck up drawing the ice cream cone or the gears? I mean, I guess they are simple designs, but why do they exist?

Here's the deal: every gen has had retarded designs. Gen I/II and maybe even a little bit of III can get away with it slightly easier because you can go "Oh, we didn't have something like a ferret/seal/rat/dog, okay." The problem is each gen has been compounding trash throwaway designs while also adding looooots of legendaries that have gotten more and more complex/OP in concept.

And personally, the games themselves are so slowly paced/treat me like I'm a retard that they put me to sleep. I want to like the newer gens, but I just lose all motivation to play them when they stop me frequently to either explain things or have a really shitty children's story about friendship play out. I am not the target demographic so I'm okay with that.
