But more evident, I'd say the Aloha Forms are the biggest example.
It's a fucking easy job. You take an existing Pokemon and "tweak" it a bit to show how a tropical environment changed it.
Yet like some sort of joke, Game Freak front loaded the most aesthetically pleasing ones to hide how little quality control there was.
You could literally make chart using Aloha form Pokemon to demonstrate Pokemon design
The one's that had thought put in them, the ones that were just designed and then put in, the ones that had SOME effort put in, and then the one's that didn't try at all.
