This tb.qh

Sometimes fakemon everyone else think are shit because "just gets bigger" actually look nice to me.

Snail in OP is cute, for example. As long as its evo isn't some over-designed shit then it is good in my eyes even if its just the same snail but bigger

This. Honestly outside of nitpicky hard to please /vp/ regulars, most of the Fan Base doesn't care if a pokemon just gets bigger and other things. As long as it looks cool, nice, cute whatever, it's good to go

A neat concept to base around helps, but if it looks nice it's fine. Most people don't care if "it just gets bigger" as long as it changes enough while still looking familiar to the base. A lot fo people like Venusaur despite it just being a bigger uglier bulbasaur, and Toucannon has a lot of love for "literally being my mom's Rainbow beaked, color-changing Toucan". If it looks good and not overly designed its good. Kind of why a lot of Gen 5 gets a lot of hate.

I generally look for unique concepts that otherwise wouldn't normally have been thought of by most people.
and good/decent artwork.

Does Gen 5 have a lot of overdesigned Pokemon though? It always felt like it was Gen 4, aka the "put spikes on everything" Gen.

Concept, design, and color theory.

Nothing I hate more than a fakemon that's just "take an animal and recolor it blue because water"

Creativity, a color palette that doesn't hurt the eyes, thinking outside the "make it evolve into a dragon/fairy/humanoid/metallic" box, keeping detail within a reasonable boundary.

Ehh not the same anon but maybe it's just me but I don't really see a lot of spikes on the gen 4 mons. The ones that do have them look quite nice with them. Anyways I personally think gens 6 and 7 have the most overdesigned mons. Something about them just doesn't seem right. But honestly is being overdeisgned really that bad?

A concept that I get that pulls off its execution with as little unnecessary details/lazy cop-outs as possible. Fuck the "cute/cool = instagood" crowd that doesn't really matter to me.

As for the one you posted OP, it does feel like it could fit in with real Pokemon, but it bothers me that it's on four legs instead of just sliding like a snail. Maybe I'm just braindead but i feels like most anons ITT are giving it a free pass because it's cute.

You fakemon is cute, but I don't see a deep base or idea (possibly it's my fault) only is a quadrupedal snail, but look this little friend Lotad, is based in a platybus, a lily pad, and a kappa (inclusive its line play with the idea of mariachi and pineapple)

>>31983639
gen V gets a lot of hate because people don't like the concept behind some pokemon can you guess which ones?
also toucannon's beak change colors because it's and overheated cannon beak

I ideally I want a design with a clear concept behind it that actually indicates some research and thought. The more clever they can be with it the better. From there the mon can be cool, cute, badass, wacky I don't care so long as it gets the point across with as little middling details as possible. Wrap it all up with a decent color palette and I'm sold.

If the mon just looks good in general I'm fine with that too, but I want to make sense with it's design. OP's pic looks nice from an aesthetic standpoint but there isn't much else I can say about it. With no clear concept or idea behind it it sort of falls into 'forgettable' territory.

As far as snail themed pokes go this one is solid. Feels like it's missing one detail though but I could definitely see it in a main game

Monotypes and no evolution pokemon is what I like to see, considering I think GF lack both in their games. Points if the pokemon accurately depicts its typing, which most creators fucking fail to do right

That's why Magmar is my favorite:

Spikes
Flame pattern
That necklass
BoobForehead

Magmar is classic 90s cool.

As a snail lover this guy is pretty cute but it having legs pisses me off. I don't need a sliggoo to goodra situation where everything amazing about a pokemon is lost in its evolution.

The best Pokemon designs are the ones that are just real animals and objects with one, at the very most two, extraordinary features like skull on head, fire on tail, magnet with eyes.

Nah, the sillier the better in my opinion.

Things like magmar, snorlax, wobbefet, sudowoodo, and shuckle whose basis is debatable are the best.
