What is the big design cliche for each generation?
Kanto has tail and head curls everywhere
Sinnoh has round white spikes in random places
Kalos has those... fur tufts?

What other ones?

I think Kanto was the weird sclera eyes like Vulpix, Charmander, and Ponyta had.

Or it could be giving things three heads or pokemon with boxing gloves.

Kanto's was making everything some ambiguous dinosaur/reptilian creature

see: the starters, nidoking, nidoqueen, rhydon, scyther, kangaskhan, machoke, marowak, magmar...

They didn't just do that with Lunala.

>Sun gets the gender-neutral Whimsicott, Moon gets the female only Lilligant
>Sun gets the male-only Braviary, Moon gets the female only Mandibuzz
>Sun gets the masculine Passimian, Moon gets the gender-neutral Oranguru
>Sun gets the masculine Solgaleo, Moon gets the feminine Lunala
>Sun gets the masculine Buzzwole and the gender-neutral Kartana, Moon gets the feminine Pheromosa and Celesteela

Also in the starters to an extent

>The Fire type is associated with the sun, and Incineroar has a very masculine design
>The Fairy type is associated with the moon, and Primarina has a very feminine design

Generally speaking, Sun has more masculine Pokemon, and Moon has more feminine Pokemon.

All four look like alpha Gen I pokemon because of this. If the artist really wanted to bring home the point on how pokemon has changed over time, the artstyle needs to change too.

If you look at the sinnoh dex, purple and blue are basically the main themes. Not sure if that was on purpose or not considering the box covers of diamon and pearl have the same color schemes as most of the pokemon.

That's because Kanto's theme was genetic modification and engineering.

I'm saying that the Pokemon have the theme of it. It doesn't mean that it had to have happened in game. Mewtwo's just did.

No, the "theme" of Kanto was that they were all monsters.

The themes have been
1. Monsters
2. Animals
3. Mascots
4. A combination of the first 3
5. American Pokemon
6. French Pokemon
7. Hawaiian Pokemon

Gen 5's theme is a melting pot of different different cultures, much like the USA itself.

Exactly. Also the regular Pokemon are typically American counterparts to Gen 1 (and sometimes 2) Pokemon.

That doesn't make any sense. Please elaborate.

Please elaborate

Again, Kanto Pokemon seem to be inspired from genetic modification (of mostly reptiles) or engineered creations. The starters being modified reptiles irl, Mew having the DNA of all Pokemon (they even introduced Deoxys in FR/LG) Mewtwo, Porygon being created. Eevee having unstable DNA. I'm not sure what you don't get.

Well, for one, the starters aren't "genetically modified lizards"; they're monsters. Charizard (regardless of type) is a dragon. They're all suppose to be monster forms of regular animals or just random kaiju. Like how Grimer and Koffing are pollution monsters and Voltorb and Magnemite are robot monsters. Mew being the ancestor of Pokemon really isn't evidence for the "THEME" of the game being genetic modification; even Deoxys is explicitly an alien invader. Porygon and Eevee were indeed the result of human tampering, but 3/150 does not a theme make.

I disagree. Blastoise is a monster turtle, but it's modified with cannons. Venusaur is a plant mixed with a dinosaur. Gen 1 introduced the most fossils as well and revived them by extracting the DNA. It has been said that voltorb and pokeballs have a connection with each other and were discovered when Pokeballs were created. But voltorb isn't really apart of the point that I was trying to make.

Mew and Mewtwo and 2 of the starters is pretty valid evidence that the theme of the Pokemon in Gen 1 is genetics and modification considering that they're very important to the game.

Deoxys is DNA from outer space for sure, but it's still a genetically themed Pokemon, considering that it undergoes mutations.
