Gen 2: Ornately patterned but plainly posed. They seem very wise, like animals you'd expect to talk in a cartoon.
Gen 3: Both involve high-contrast, saturated colors. They have kind of a plastic look to them, like they're supposed to be the ones that appeal most to very young children.
Gen 5: They went kind of crazy designing them, particularly with adding weird stuff to the head. A pretty common issue with a lot of Gen 4 Pokemon.
Gen 5: They seem very slender and feminine. Both look like like they're wearing high heels.
Gen 6: See guys, bird can be cool! Their attempt to make birds interesting by giving them bold color schemes and typing. I think it's pretty successful, to be honest.
I feel like the latest Gen 7 is going to be closest to Gen 2. Kind of fancy, but not to Gen 4 levels of indulgence.
