What are some Pokémon whose design you dislike?
Usually when I hate a Pokémon's design, it is because one or more of these issues:
It doesn't look like an actual, living creature. This is because it looks too much like an object rather than living being.
For me, it doesn't have to resemble living animals. I like mechanical and humanoid mons, but it has to appear like a real living thing and not a dead object.
Usually I cite lack of limbs or locomotion method. This is because in order to look like a living creature, it should have a proper way to move and locomotion. I only tolerate floating mons on mechanical or ghost types, or those whose concept support the floating idea, but not on mons that appear more like objects than living creature.
I also don't like mons that have too simplistic design, such as limbless blobs and the like.
I tolerate simple mons that can evolve into better design though, for example, Solosis. Some of the mons I listed here would have been justified if it can evolve into a more complex forms.
I also tolerate mons that have unique gimmicks to justify its poor design. Ditto and Mimikyu fall into this category.
Here are the mons whose designs I don't like, complete up to Gen 8. I have skimmed all the Pokédex for this, so I'm certain that I don't hate any other designs. Let's exclude Gen 9 for a while now.
Here is the list:
