>>43825333i don't like designs that appeal to actual kids, like lucario, greninja and zorark, i don't like designs which are over the top in terms of their theme and design, i especially don't like pokemon which look fucking retarded and cringy like scraggy, stunfisk, darmuka and palpitoad, those are the worst types of pokemon designs and gen 5 has the most of them.
my pokemon look relatively dangerous enough that they can battle, some also just have a subtle design that works well and look realistic enough to be believable and they themselves are drawn well too.
things like kingler, dragalge, primeape, starmie, vikavolt, cramorant, talonflame, wishiwashi, passimian, araquanid, barraskewda, donphan, crawdaunt, most fossils, most plants, most water pokemon.
naturally i have my own list of pokemon that goes against what i usually like but they're rare exceptions reserved for only a handful of pokemon.
