>>27804014That's why Klefky and Chandelure designs are okay (even though I personally dislike them) whereas Mr. Mime and Jynx are crap. Mr. Mime is a fucking person. And it clearly came out of the mind of a rabbit-teethed tittering Japanese man who grew up as a emperor-fearing sake-guzzling salary slave who thought that mimes are such a weird thing that they deserve to become a pocket monster. Jynx even worse is also a fucking nigger.
Similarly, Vanilluxe and Garbodor defy this idea of balance between fiction and reality. You can still forgive Mime and Jynx because at the very least they retain a humanoid shape, which allows them to be qualified as "monsters".
Vanilluxe however is an ice cream cone. What is its place in a world of roaming beasts and magical creatures? It is just a god damn ice cream cone, there's nothing left to OUR imagination. And you can say that Chandelure is a god damn candelabrum but that's fine because I bet that very few of you mutherfuckers see candelabra around that often. Whereas you see fucking ice cream cones every fucking day. Same goes for garbage. At least Muk is a pile of undefined shit and you - as a pokemon trainer - still have the thrill of the hunt. Who knows where these entities made of sludge might gather? Garbodor is just a sack full of garbage. It gathers in the rubbish bin in my kitchen and that makes it lame and boring.
And Gen V has just too many of these lame-ass everyday stuff made pokemon (Gothitelle, Kilnglang). Dunno if we should include Cryogonal in this. Probably not.
Then there are plain shit designs (Watchog, Woobat, Amoongus).
