They both look like shit, faggot. Stop arguing over your cartoon animals.
Everyone knows Keldeo looks like shit.it would be fairer to compare Ponyta with Blitzle

In his attempt to make some sort of statement all this spammer's done has showcased how dated and boring the majority of gen one designs are.

I really don't know if this pic is meant to be take seriously or is just a joke.
But it's funny anyway.
Why is there even so much fuss about designs? I don't get it. Sure, you might not like some of em, and here on the interwebs if you don't have the same opinion then you're sentenced to death, but this has been going on for so long.
Personally, I like all Pokemon. There's not a single one that I dislike.

Psyduck doesn't have plummage. Unlike newgen mons gen 1 actually tried to make them fantasty monsters instead of just cartoon versions of animals
>Gen0 > Gen1-6
Gen1 is garbage filled with over designed monsters.
Now Gen0 is where true artistry is
>>25640933
>Unlike newgen mons gen 1 actually tried to make them fantasty monsters
Gen 1 has Mr MIME and jynx the worst pokemon and nigger
>>25640961
Yes. You even just posted one. Eevee isn't just a cartoon version of a fox or a cartoon version of a cat. It has traits of both and it becomes its own thing. Meanwhile if Eevee were designed now it would just be a cartoon version of a cat or something

>fantasty monsters
but somehow the newer gens' ancient creator deities, fairies disguised as keychains, sentient stalactites with snow on them are bad designs?
and fearow? It's literally just a bird. So is a fucking pidgey. Those are great designs just because they are from gen 1?
KYS
>>25641038
didn't know we could chose answers that make no sense
>>25641029
Generation 1 was a fucking mistake.
all these fans clamouring to how the designs look more 'based in reality' like wow,
half of Gen 1 is 'literally just my Mom's X' and the other half is weird dumb shit, it's stale by this point, your generation is pretty much the 'forced meme' of pokemon generations, and yet Game Freak just /loves/ pandering to you faggots despite you being the worst fans for their business.
you're holding everyone back, either evolve with the series or fuck off.
All Gens are good, fight me.
>>25641068
>and fearow? It's literally just a bird.
No it isn't. Find me a bird that looks just like Fearow.
>So is a fucking pidgey.
No it isn't. It has traits of multiple kinds of birds. Unlike Fletchling which is just a cartoon Japanese robin or Taillow which is just a cartoon swallow.
>>25639508
I never knew a zebra's mane goes clear up to it's head. I thought it started on it's neck. All this time I've thought they put the lightning mane on Blitzle and Zebstrika's heads to show they're electric type. I like their designs even more now
>>25640604

>>25639098
Gotta agree that Keldeo's color scheme is atrocious
It's the same awful color scheme that makes Geninja so disgusting to look at
Hello this is >>25639363 and I still have not gotten any proofs as to why I should accept the assumption that cartoony is aesthetically bad or that simple is aesthetically bad. I demand corroboration for these statements, I demand that these claims be substantiated.
>>25641226
>pokemon have abilities that their real world counterparts don't
Wow, really? I guess Swellow isn't just a cartoonish swallow then, since I don't recall ever seeing a Swallow turn its wing into a piece of metal.
>>25641343
It's mostly subjective shit, like people not liking cartoons or want Western game realism than new pokemon designs or something
>>25639334
Aren't taillow's eyes more detailed because it's closer to the player's screen? Or maybe the animators just got better at drawing eyes.
>>25641360
Hmm, no, I think it's more adapting the behaviour of squids than a case of a single move ability.
>>25640658
>Cherrypicking that hard
Kek, keep being delusional.
>>25640640
Diglett is a whack-a-mole mole though.
Also Noibat does not look like a real bat. Wings are WAY too small.
>>25640658
What "attention to scales" does Skrelp have that Horsea doesn't?
Why can't we just like all the pokemon?

I think every picture posted here so far is correct and valid. Each gen has shit and each gen has good shit.

Have you ever actually drawn anything in your life? Maybe if you didn't waste all your fucking time making dumbass charts for shit nobody cares about, you'd think to yourself "HMM maybe there's more than one way to design something!"
>>25641056
And as for you, you fucking prick. I see a post like this in every goddamn thread. How has it not crossed your pathetic excuse for a brain that Yokai are GHOSTS? Of course they're going to be fucking ugly. It's horror for kids! You're a goddamn chump.
>>25642383
And there is nothing wrong with grotesque or 'ugly' designs anyway. I would love some more non-cute pokemon.
>>25642405
Same. Designs like Cradily, Armaldo, Gigalith, and the Genie Trio always stuck out to me. Not necessarily because they're "ugly" but because they're so other-worldly? Their designs aren't 100% focused on being appealing as they are creating interesting monsters.
>>25642383
Any design that isn't a slightly cartoony real animal is bad to these people. Same reason they hate Digimon and object based Pokemon.
>>25641127
To be fair, earlier gens designed bird mons to be less shit looking. The goofy circle heads and disconnected wings are just terrible.
>>25642518
>Any design that isn't a slightly cartoony real animal is bad to these people
But gen 1 did that less than other gens. See >>25640933
>>25639319
It's not. There was a huge style shift from gen 2 to 3, most likely to make the designs easier to animate in the anime.
>this whole thread
i have a good idea: play the game if you like it, don't play it if you don't like it. shitposting about you not liking a thing isnt going to make the thing go away or suddenly "get better"

Fuck off faggot, there's such a thing as a middle ground. We can like a series AND be bothered by other parts of it.
>shitposting about you not liking a thing isnt going to make the thing go away or suddenly "get better"
That's literally what feedback means though.
I have no delusion that john gamefreak lurks /vp/ but these things spread when you talk about them.
Do you think word of what didn't resonate with fans just magically gets back to game devs?

>>25643143
>Fug and both Latios and Latias bad*
>>25643143
The Aggron line is overdesigned garbage. Sneasel, Latias, and Latios are just poorly designed.
I'll concede only that I should have marked Lairon yellow instead of red. Also note that Sneasel is marked yellow, which is more like "meh," rather than full-blown "bad."
>>25639410
kek
Why the fuck are we comparing different bird pokemon to each other, saying the one with 'less detail' is a shitty design? If all the birds had 'properly' shaped wings, legs and feather detail, everyone would be whining that all the bird pokemon looked the same! The same goes for all the dog, cat, dragon etc pokemon.
It is okay to have different shapes to portray similar animals! You have over 700 pokemon to choose from, i'm sure you can pick some that you like instead of focusing on the stuff you don't!
>>25639313
I'm pretty sure there isn't depth on the vulture's skull's nose because its feathers are puffing out of the hole.
>>25639410
Fucking lol. Severely underrated post.
>>25642348

>>25645557
So you agree all gens have good shot and shit shit?
>>25643018
This is so pleasing to look at. Majority of the designs really went down hill after the early gens, but there are still some good ones.
>>25643018
