So I'm sure you've heard someone say "that doesn't look like a Pokemon to me". What is it about a Pokemon that wouldn't make it look like a Pokemon?

Binacle is the most "classic looking" of all gen 3-7 Pokémon. Seems to me like you're just listing Pokémon you dislike.

If that were true I wouldn't have listed Pokemon I actually like among them. And no, Binacle doesn't. Its face is the most non-Pokemon aspect about it.

I'm in the camp of "whatever Game Freak decides is a Pokemon is a Pokemon".
But do you think that Game Freak has hard rules given to the designers on what a Pokemon should and shouldn't be?

I honestly think some people hate new designs because they're not used to them. They don't watch the anime. They're not buying keychains, toys, or trading cards anymore.

I thought oshawott looked dumb for the longest time, but seeing clips from the anime changed my mind.

It's just non-customers complaining about products they don't consume.

You don't really need to watch the anime to let a Pokemon design grow on you.

Agreed, seeing them in motion and their personalities gives enough for your imagination to make them better. I still don't like the Lycanroc line though.
