>>28891450If being an apologist means that I'm able to actually enjoy a franchise I love, then so be it. I'd rather be an 'apologist' than someone constantly getting needlessly upset and cynical over Pokemon designs.
Are there some Pokemon whose designs I'm not as fond of? Yes. However I'm not going to be an ignorant fool who calls the designs 'shit', or claim that it's Game Freak's fault that I don't like the Pokemon.
Game Freak's got issues with things that they can be faulted for, but Pokemon design is not one of them. They understand Pokemon design a lot more than most people around here think they do.
You don't like the design? Doesn't mean that it's Game Freak's fault.
