>>23566110I've no issue with simplistic designs, but a lot of the mons they had just looked like animals. Like, nothing special to them. I'm not saying any other gen doesn't do this, but Gen 5 wanting to make a full Pokedex with no editing of previous evo-lines was a mistake.
And that's coming from someone who actually liked the fucking Ice Cream Pokemon.Pic related.
>A Dog>A Pigeon>A Lizard/Croc>A Deer>The most generic fish Pokemon ever>A Turtle>A DuckJust taking an animal and making it more colourful isn't enough to make a good design.
Plus, the fuck was up with the legendaries? Gen 4 had a slight Legendary issue in the sense that it put in more than there needed to be, but Gen 5 was just pushing it. The fuck are the three weather fuckers for? They are just a copy & paste design with a very slight few edits. You could argue the point that they have their alt forms to make them look more diverse/unique, but if their alt forms are there, why weren't the alt forms just their default forms?! The only legends Gen 5 needed was Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, and the Musketeer Trio.
Hell, while we're in the Unpopular Opinion Thread:
Gen 6 only having a small dex and 3 legendaries is what helped X & Y also be such a good game too. They didn't force any unneeded shit.
