>>38780228I agree that the overdesigned continued into 5, but with 5 we also started to see frankly a lot of rushed pokemon as well and "it's a sword, with eyes, it's keys, with eyes, it's ice cream, with eyes"
It was the 3DS games that we really though started to see "Toy pokemon" like what you got in OP's pic becoming the main design trend. The human characters went from more like pic related (still more dragonball inspired), to moe Kyoani anime characters as well.
