Hello James, it's a shame that your perfect record was soiled by your very first Pokemon.

Unironically one of my favorite designers. The only designs I haven’t liked were Poiple and Naganadel

I don't really care for Vullaby and Mandibuzz, but the rest are great. He's particularly good with Ultra Beasts, but I like Golurk and unironically Vanilluxe a lot too.

>got a buff in SM with Snow Warning

GF cares more about Vanillite than half of the National Dex.

Bullshit. You mean to tell me that out of potentially hundreds of westerners coming at GF with designs that this dude and his trashmon was the one accepted solely because they were good?

I'm shocked he could make any passing mention to Naga considering "Sorry I can't talk about that" is his response to 99% of what people ask him.

He had already worked close to game freak and in game freak before designing a pokemon. There's your reasoning along with his designs being good enough for them.

Hell no, they pad out the already bloated gen 5 dex. And they belong in kalos since it lacks a legendary trio.

He can't design a decent mon to save his life. I HATE that he's the token Western designer- it really promotes the (partially true) stereotype that Western anime artists can't draw well.

Personally even his best designs have a taint of modern that is not found in other designs of the same generation. I don't know how to explain it but I don't like it. I can't call any of his designs my favorites. They just seem to do one thing well but are otherwise dull and shallow. I like my pokemon to be more multifaceted so every time I see it I can see it in a different light. Buzzwole will always be Buzzwole, a buffsquito and nothing else.
