>>37780093>gen 4Nope. I think Gen 4 and 5 are in transitioning, and gen 6 just gave up.
While, in all honesty, Ohsawot, Piplup, Mudkip and Torchic all look like they belong in the same game, the fact of the matter is that all of the gen 4 mons are clearly designed way more like a mascot thing than an animal. They got different colored limb ends. They got patterns on region transitions, like the light blue on piplup's face, the cloudwing on chimchar's belly.
Gen 3 was the last one.
Some-the-fuck-how Popplio is only 4th place in the least over-designed mons of gens 5-8, those above it being it Rowlet, Fennekin and Litten.
