Why do all of the gen 4 evolutions of gen 1-3 pokemon look worse than what they evolve from?

Because Gen 4 cross-evolutions were a mistake and the reaction to them prompted GF to not release any cross-gen evos the next gen and try something fresh in Megas the following gen.

Split-evos and those of Pokemon who already were poor were great.

All the ones for Pokemon who already looked good like Aipom and Togetic were mistakes, however.

Glalie looks terrible compared to Froslass and I don't have any real opinion on Gallade vs Gardevoir, but Dusknoir looks way worse than Dusclops. Really the best one in the line is Duskull. Not to say I dislike the crossgen evos entirely though, just Magmortar and Dusknoir. The rest are fine.

I'm sorry but I've been playing since 1998 and Rhydon is the most boring pokemon ever. There's a reason it was the first Pokemon. It's like a Nidoking with the personality removed. Hurr it's big and has a horn because it's a rhino! Why is it Ground type again? Oh that's right literally no reason.

From my understanding, then you just don't lean toward it as a favorite or anything, which is perfectly fine. I don't either. But 'boring' used to describe something is so inappropriate when talking about a design because it makes suggestions about what you find to be not boring.

Yes, I firmly believe it looks worse. It drops the look the line had beforehand and exacerbates the blocky flat pieces that plague Dusclops by mashing the cloth look of Duskull with the blocky hand and neck parts of Dusclops. Unneeded stripes on the arms and the little doorknob on the top of the head are some of the other problems with the design.

It's just not a good look overall considering the underutilization of better design elements they could have used on it from the previous evos they elected to avoid using.

See, this is what happens when you don't understand a design. Duskull starts as a ghost with a skull mask. When it evolves into dusclops, the ghost fills around the mask, and the eye is left exposed.

And then it becomes a retarded fat genie with pointless yellow details and a stupid hat for no reason. Well, at least dusclops can use eviolite now.

>>32133282
Duskull starts as a weird thing with the mask and the eye as if trying to hide itself, then evolved into something that exposed the eye but removes the mask and created a huge blanket around it as if it were a cocoon. Then it emerges from the cocoon as a void eating monster with the yellow parts emerging as if they were hidden from the start. It's a genius design and it's quite ironic to read this coming from someone who complains how people don't understand designs.

I wouldn't say they look worse, but they do look kind of awkward a lot of the time. Dusknoir, as in your pic, kind of looks like they tried to bring it back to the little reaper that duskull was, but didn't really do the best job of it. The head ties it more to the humanoid shape of dusclops than the spirit-like duskull, and it bothers me. The only improvement is that they got rid of the legs.

Where is this stated? If anything Dusclops and Dusknoir have a bigger connection with each other, since they are both hollow, absorb souls and are one-eyed.

No, I wouldn't say so. They don't look any less chunky than Dusclops and have thick, tube shaped arms to boot rather than the suitably ghostly floating hands of Dusclops. Admittedly though Dusclops hands don't look that great either.

Dusclops and Dusknoir are both heavily defensive Pokemon, Eviolite makes Dusclops have ridiculously high defense. They're actually pretty equal though, both PU tier ghost types. Dusknoir's claim to fame is that it can actually deal some damage, as opposed to the absurdly weak Dusclops. Dusclops however can stay alive better than Dusknoir, even in Knock Off-the Meta.

Both of them are pretty equal in viability, which is to say they're both absolute shit.

Defenses around 200 make it survive pretty fairly in PU anon, even with the shit HP stat. Dusknoir would be better with a better ability, yes, but so would many of the Pokemon in PU regardless. They fill different niches, Dusclops is a stallmon who has to rely on passive damage and Dusknoir is a mediocre attacker with similarly good defenses.

My point stands though that they're both shitmons that no one uses though.

I don't think anyone who makes these threads knows just how many gen 4 crossgen evos exist, so I'll tell you. There are 22.
Magnezone, Tangrowth, Lickylicky, Rhyperior, Electivire, Magmortar, Leafeon, Glaceon, Mismagius, Porygon-Z, Togekiss, Ambipom, Yanmega, Honchkrow, Gliscor, Weavile, Mamoswine, Gallade, Probopass, Roserade, Dusknoir, and Frosslass.

Are you going to tell me that nitpicking one of them that you don't like means that they're all bad?

While all your points are correct, I might add some points why Dusknoir is the better shitmon:
Dusclops, with your mentioned low offensive presence is a sitting duck most of the time, giving set-up opportunities to anything carrying subsitute, most normal types and any special attacker. Furthermore, Knock Off is not only a problem for Dusclops losing its Eviolite, which wouldnt be a problem were it viable in say OU, where there are Pokemon with Justified, Mega Pokemon or overall bulky Pokemon like Ferrothorn who can switch into said Knock Off. PU does not have switches for incoming Knock Offs, since the lacking stats of those Pokemon make them heavily reliant on their items or are not that bulky to begin with. Also, considering you are running a balanced team, you only have 2-3 walls in your PU team, one of them being possibly Dusclops, you have one less switch in to one of the two most prominent attacking moves in the game on your team.

To also be fair to both shitmons, while you can setup on a Dusclops, it can do the same while you setup, boosting itself with calm mind and burning attackers. It usually survives at least one Knock off before it goes down.
Dusknoir does a shitload more damage before it dies, but it can barely survive a Knock off even once before wiping out.
The biggest problem is trying to use ghost types like this in PU, because even in PU both of these Pokemon are absolute garbage. Just use something else if you want to win, let the reaper and lantern rest in their hell.

Would rather get Mega Evolutions for anything I want to be better than they are from now on, since they tend to just be Pokemon with extra doohickeys instead of changing them drastically like most cross-gen evos. For all the ones I like that aren't split evos, I didn't care for the earlier stages of their lines, except Mismagius and Honchkrow.

Is it? I thought they were both PU?
Still doesn't stop dumbasses from using the gen 5 viability instead of current viability (Gen 5 places Dusclops as UU and Noir as RU as opposed to the XY/SM rank where both are bottom of the barrel PU).
Or do you mean usage statistics, since I think you're also right there.

I see. Honestly though I don't see either of them at all when I mess around in PU, they're just too awful. One of the least friendly formats to Pokemon weak to Knock off. I've even seen spinda and phione more, and they're ranked lower than either dusclops or noir in PU last time I checked.

I totally get you, the little red boots are cute. Though honestly I hate to sound like a nostalgiafag but I think tangrowth may be the best since it changed the least. My problem with things like ryhperior and magmortar is they feel so different and incomplete. Tangrowth is kind of a "just gets bigger" but I like that a lot, some designs you just can't reall improve on honestly.

I think the canons are cool as a concept but are a weird feature to add only in the last stage. My main problem is the face and body. Magmar and magby were very obviously kind of weird mix of a kaiju and duck. They were roundish but quite endearing. Magmortar has such a weird oval body that it looks kinda fat. That face is also awful, loses the beak and looks scrunched up.

Ryhperior is just a mess. From color scheme to the armor it loses the charm of ryhorn and rhydon.

I think the biggest problem is that new artist were given the job to make them. I get getting whoever each's oroginal designer would be hard but still giving a new artist a old design and telling em to advance it can be jarring. They're are some really cool ones (tangrowth, mamoswine, and yanmega) but most feel too distent from their prior evolution to me.
