>>33230638>Crobat shares nothing in common with Golbat beyond being a batAnd Zubat shares little with Golbat -- one has a regular sized mouth, huge ears, no eyes, no legs, and Golbat ends up with a gigantic mouth, tiny cat ears, weird eyes, and goofy feet. Crobat is a fine evolution.
>Hitmontop drops the entire motif of Chan and LeeI hate Hitmontop's design, but Chan and Lee don't really look a whole lot like one another.
>Politoed is so far removed from the rest of the line it's baffling how anyone approved itPolitoed seems like a reasonable evolution to the tadpole mons that were Poliwag and Poliwhirl. It's arguably better than the original "it just gets bigger" evolution.
>But then they fucked the design by making it pinkIt's red you fucking goober, get your eyes checked. Also, Scizor does a great job of expanding on Scyther without actually replacing Scyther design-wise. Scyther was already a total badass and a pretty complicated design, so I think it makes sense that Scizor would take a fairly dramatic aesthetic turn. I don't think it would have been possible to do a more conventional "it's Scyther, but cooler" sort of evolution.
