>>38032429Many of the Gen 6 and Gen 7 Pokémon. Not because they were bad necessarily, but because of the change into 3D models, which meant I was subjected to their interpretations, rather than looking at the anime and/or fanart first. Idle animations meant it was very hard to appreciate them, as most of them were fucking shit.
Dragalge is the one that fits the bill for Gen 6. Both the idle animations and the official art weren't making it any favors, but looking it in motion (the anime) and in fanart definitely helped.
Sandygast and Palossand were the ones for Gen 7. As soon as we got the Corocoro scans, I tought they were fucking fake, same for Stufful and Bewear (I'm still not 100% sold on the latter, mostly on Bewear), but people like
>>38036403 mentioned helped me appreciate them. The pokedex entries and the fact that it is a terrifying idea to think of helped a ton (an innocent-looking sandcastle that eats people).
