If you wanted to be really clever, you should instead look through all the various monster/hunting and raising games made and pick a game to represent each generation

Nope. Bigger generations have too much variety to lump them into one big category like this. This is taking some of the most extreme examples, and lumping them together. I don't think there's much philosophy behind most generation designs.

I can see that, but Gen 5 has a more city animal feel.

I agree that I'm a little confused about Gen 6 but I can see the point in Gen 3. Most Hoennmons are just animals with simple patterns and primary colors. Look at Camerupt, Whiscash, Linoone, Mightyena, Keckleon, etc.

The design isn't what I think of when I think of Gen 3, but this honestly could be a Gen 3 pokemon/
>Gen 4
Would honestly use Gen 4 if it were an actual pokemon.
>Gen 5
Agree with the description, not with the design. Design is way off.
>Gen 6
Huge head is the only thing I can see going for your Gen 6 comparison.
>Gen 7
This is half the dex, but I'd honestly love to see what the other half would look like represented.

Overall, 3 and a half/7.

How is Camerupt just an Animal with Primary colors? It's literally a Camel with a mountain on its back.
Sure the most early shitmons are like that, but you then get, Blaziken, Ludicolo, Shiftry, Serviper, Sableye, Mawile, Aggron, Claydol, Flygon (lol), Metagross, Manetric, Pelipper, Sharpedo, Crawdaut, Altaria, and so on who aren't just animals with primary colors, and sometime not even animals at all.

Camerupt is a camel with a mountain on it's back, but it is Orange and have markings, matching the description.

But primary colors isn't what OP should have put. Just a lot of colors that aren't really on animals or in real life.

Nah gen 3 is the most mediocre shit ever, 80% of the dex is real life animals but with toony proportions, bright colors and tacky details, in fact the few good gen 3 designs are those that don't use this formula.

The idea is to highlight generational design trends using the common chicken as a comparison point, not to point out that Gen 3 has a literal chicken pokemon.

I still don't get that thing where whole gens are judged when there is so much diversity from different designers and themes within each gen. I'm literally trying to get it, but it seems much easier to judge Pokemon on a case by case basis. Hell I'd probably have an easier time grouping Pokemon from different gens together based on aesthetics than whatever it is you guys are doing. Gen 1 is the only gen that I can say looks kind of same-y because of all the angry eyed half reptilian Pokemon.

Gen I would be accurate if it has cat ears.
Gen II is accurate.
Gen III isn't accurate, that's more gen II like.
Gen IV is based on an exception, people think Gen IV designs = Garchomp, but if you check that's not the case.
Same as Gen IV but with Garbodor/Vanilluxe.
Same as above.

Gen 1 and 2 are full of unique designs. They only vaguely resemble animals and had an aesthetic that could easily be labeled as "pokemon-ish". Like >>32520745 said, the only Gen 3 Pokemon that have that aesthetic are Exploud and Dusklops (and I'd add Aggron and Tropius to that list). But most of them are literally my mom's creature with bright colors. Gen 4 was truly the downfall of the Pokemon aesthetic, though.

Not saying I dislike these pokemon, but your view is obviously biased, things like typical kaiju dinosaurs gets a free pass but "hopkinsville goblin", "futakachi-onna", "tengu" are ""my mom's X"". Gen 1 has more "literally just a animal" designs than any other generation, there's no need to deny that, it's just part of how pokemon is.
