the problem with new pokemon designs
1.all primary colors that don't look natural so they all end up looking like toys
2. enormous fucking heads so they end up looking like toys, even the "cool ones"
3. concepts tend to be basic as fuck instead of "wtf is that thing" like just taking an actual animal and deviant art cartoonifying it and calling it a day
4. no detail in linework and simplistic shapes, this is good because pokemon are way easier to draw and make less derpy merchandise of but really takes away the coolness factor and likeability since how tf are you going to imagine seeing that thing in real life like you did as a kid
5. the eyes all look fucking stupid american cartoon shit now, which is 99% of the problem since you liking an animal/creature has to do with its eyes (why do you think anime girls have had the same kind of eyes for the last 30 years, why do you think dogs and cats literally evolved to have bigger eyes just so humans can like them more) eyes are important .
6. every pokemon just looks like a robot and plasticy compared to the old style
