One way to tell someone started 3rd gen or later is if they belief Dragonite "ruined" the Dratini line.

I'm disappointed with Dragonite, too. It just looks goofy. It doesn't keep the elegance of Dragonair or turn into something fearsome like you would want from a dragon pokemon. It's just silly. And why is it orange and not some shade of blue?

Scizor could work on its own, but as an evolution of Scyther I feel robbed, because I wanted Schyther to either become very powerful or get a more fitting and green evolution.

Like, in the place it has to level up to evolve, u need four magneton and a voltorb (the core) to evolve it.
This isocaedral magneton, with sound moves, mad defense, mad spe attck, levitate, would be madness...

These final evos saved their crappy lines from being total shit.

Dratini and Dragonair are just blue snakes, while derpy Dragonite is at least cute.

Delphox manages to avoid being completely redundant like fennekin nor pedo-furry bait like Braixen

The further away Samurott gets away from the shitacular Oshawatt, the better

They're very different in body structure though. Samurott functions like a mustelid(a swimmer than can work on land) whereas Popplio is a full-fledged pinniped(swimmers with poor land mobility).

I've been around since gen 1 and don't like it. Dragonite is okay on its own but after catching a cute Dratini in the Safari zone & having it evolve into Dragonair's sleek design, I was expecting something more elegant looking. Instead I got this dopey looking thing. My kid-self was very disappointed.

If I'm honest, I like Dragonite's design, I could even grow to love it; my problem is not Dragonite itself, but the fact that it's the evolution to Dragonair.

What Goodra did to Sliggoo is unforgivable though.
