Is there anything particularly wrong with "IT JUST GETS BIGGER" syndrome, or is it just that it comes off as shoddy?
There are too many lines in the series where one evolution/prevo will look great then the next is shit. It's nice to have some consistency.

I really like the Poliwag line. Polifrog is decent as well.

You're the contrarian here though. The rest of us agrees with him.

It's fine if you get some sort of change besides simple stats.

Poliwag goes from a tadpole to a frog-like monster, gaining arms and proper legs. It then further evolves by gaining muscle and adding the Fighting type.

Not that guy, but the argument "it just gets bigger" is completely subjective since theoretically there's nothing wrong with a pokemon becoming a bigger, stronger form of itself when evolving. They don't always have to change completely ala schyther -> scizor

There's nothing immediately wrong with it, as long as the base design actually looks good.
If it's an ugly shitmon that turns into a bigger ugly shitmon, then fuck it.

It depends if there's a effort to make the "It just gets bigger" form stand out more than the rest, even if just a bit. In Poliwrath's case, he simply got bulkier and got meaner eyes. Its stomach slightly changed too in its shape. He's not really that impressive, but I can live with it, since he was one of the first designs Game Freak ever did.

One mon I got interested in got a similar case, which was Yungoos to Gumshoos, but I liked how fluffy I'm a sucker for fluffy shit he had gotten and the designs' contrast to his previous form (Gumshoos is more patient and cunning in contrast to Yungoos' much friskier personality) and the added detective theme.

Its boring, uninteresting, and heavily relies on the concept to make up for the slight change(PIC RELATED). Evolution is not even comparable to body growth, with some non-insect pokemon being able to drastically change structure or appearance while retaining the concept the previous forms had(Feebas,Bagon,Psyduck, etc). Its more comparable to metamorphosis if anything.

People who bitch about drastic evolution changes are the fucking worst. As an evolution that isn't nearly identical to the previous stage will retain a design or conceptual motif from the previous stage to justify the connection with it's evolution.

What they should have done is only give arms to poliwrath. When poliwag evolves into poliwhirl they should only remove the nose,tail and make him bigger but dont give arms until poliwrath

I'd take Seismitoad over Poliwrath, but Poliwag and Poliwhirl over Tympole and Palpitoad.

Gumshoos is one of the designs that is falls flat in execution but not in concept.
