>>39543750My favorite Pokémon is one of the most hated Pokémon. People thinks it is awful because its design is not aesthetic and ridiculing it without any good reason: "it's ugly" reasoning is enough for them even if its whole design makes sense in concept and role.
On the other hand, I cannot defend Impidimp because it's the only design I see it's actually bad, because it's not a design, it's just a stickman with strident colors that don't work together.
I am the kind of person who don't think "ugly is bad". Execution should means the design works in the role they designed for it. But I could bet they thought Impidimp is cute while it's not, or if the idea was make just an imp, there's a bunch of things you can improve on the design.
When a yokai from Yokai Watch looks much better than actual Pokémon that makes the same role, you should think what went wrong.
