Quoted By:
I went through the first 151 Pokémon. I was surprised to discover that those I never really liked were those that, unsurpisingly, share the same issues newer Pokémon seem to have.
- Machop line: a karateka.
- Hitmonchan: a boxer.
- Mr. Mime: a mime.
- Jynx: an opera singer.
I can't complain about objectmon of the likes of Magnemite and Voltorb because their designs were very simple and elegant compared to the shit we are seeing nowadays. But the ones above? Yeah, now I know why I never liked them. I would always pick Hitmonlee over Hitmonchan because its design wasn't as on the nose.
Pic related is a redesign of the Machop line I found on the Internet. Ignore Machoke and Machamp, and just focus on MACHOP. I think it is a design that's much more in-line with that of Gen 1.
