Not even a genwunner, gen 5 is my favorite gen.

This thing is a piece of shit, unless that baseless mascot suit speculation is proven right, there is no redeeming something that fucking cartoony compared to everything else.

When a pokemon that is literally two gears looks more lifelike than something that is supposed to be a bear, you know something's gone wrong.

>>27125729
It's actually a red panda.

That's our red panda Pokemon, guys.

anon you can like a gen without liking 100% of what was introduce there
having gen 4 as my fav one doesn't prevent me from thinking a lot of the crossgen pre-evos/evos are shit, or thinking that staraptor/lopunny/purugly/ skuntank are shit

Bruxish is fine, if a little busy. It's just ugly is all, not ugly as in poorly designed, ugly as in its an animal that looks ugly.

Kiteruguma or whatever it's jap name is is literally the simplest pokemon design we have ever had. Voltorb and Electrode have more going on in their design than this childs drawing of a thing.

Considering that the Vanillish line existed during the ice age, I'm going to hazard a simple guess in assuming that the line pre-dates actual ice cream in the Pokemon world.

Serperior and Delphox. I'm looking at you.
>>
>>27126440
I was always sure its dex entries mentioned it doing such, but turns out that isn't the case. I swear I read/saw something canon that mentioned/showed them hunting like that.
Either way, it makes enough sense to justify its design.

They didn't, open your eyes and get the fuck out of this board you retarded summercunt. Everybody hates you and nobody wants you here. Your kind of "human" is the most hated on this board. Just fuck off.

>all these faggots replying to the most obvious bait thread I've ever seen
good job you underage fucking twats.

Snarky point-scoring posts aside, what I really actively dislike about this is the complete lack of detail to anything at all. I get they're trying to return to Gen 1 levels of simplicity and not the clusterfucks that were a lot of things in gen 4 - 6 but when everything on it is just a simple shape with zero detail on the paws or feet (not to mention it's completely expressionless) it's as though they genuinely can't strike a balance between underdesigning things and overdesigning.
>>
>>27125729

It's proven in the name, look up "Kigurumi".
>>
I hope it evolves into a fairy/fighting red panda.
>>
>>27126516

It's an icicle with snow on its head, not ice cream.
>>
>>27124071

So, how much extra detail were they expected to put into a Pokeball mimic Pokemon? Or eggs? Or half of the others based off a non-animal.
