>>31266102This. There were a lot of Unova Pokémon I liked a lot. Victini, Genesect, Carracosta, Hydreigon, Krookodile, Cryogonal, Musharna, and a few others had really nice designs IMO that were more in line with what Pokémon has been about since gens 1&2. I even liked Garbodor, as it made sense for the region and had precedent with Muk and Wheezing as a pollution mon.
But some of the others just leave you scratching your head. Either they were just too unbelievable, like Vanilite, or they were derivative and boring, like Seismitoad. There was also a lot of repetitiveness, like genies, simians, and four deer based Pokémon.
On the whole the gems were too diluted by all the crap, though I'm glad they have been allowed to shine through over the years while the crap has been all but forgotten.
