>>30058202I actually really like the unevolved forms a bunch, possibly because they remind me of Keroro.
They're goofy but also really really cute. The evolved forms I've always been a bit iffy on, though, but at least they become slightly more distinct.
I'll never accept the elemental palette-swap argument for why they suck, though- not while Eevee is one of the most beloved Pokemon all time. Even if there was only one monkey and one genie most people would probably still hate them because they're 'ugly'. I guarantee that if instead of monkeys the three of them were generic dogs with the same level of variation, they'd have been a hit.
