>>32032627I've never called them "poorly designed"; it conveys what it is (ice cream) perfectly, so the design does its job rather well. I just personally don't like it because it doesn't fit my tastes.
I like cute Pokemon, but Vanilluxe's face seems a little too bland for me. Not very cute, and not very badass either, just "meh". Honestly, if genwunners didn't sperg out over these guys, they'd be completely forgettable to me.
Of course, that doesn't stop redditors from calling me a genwunner whenever I say I don't like this Pokemon. Fun fact: I've never played a game before Gen 3, nor seen the anime before Gen 4, so it's literally impossible for me to be a genwunner. I can't help but to relate that frustration to this Pokemon, which makes me dislike it even more. Same with Garbodor (and ONLY Garbodor; Trubbish is cute). If a Pokemon has an annoying fanbase, for some reason, it makes the Pokemon itself annoying, in my mind. I know, I've gotta cure that autism ASAP, but that's my reasoning for why I dislike it.
