The Gen 5 Pokemon I actively dislike. Either because I think they ruin a great pre-evo design, are genuinely ugly, mediocre to the point they offend me or all three. But here's the thing: I don't actually want to hate any of these. I'm sure I'd be much happier if I liked these designs. And hey, I've changed my mind on Pokemon I didn't care about before.

So to the people on /vp/ who really like any of these, or even have one of them as their favourite, please explain to me why you like them and what you think their major points of appeal are. Additionally, post fanart that shows their good side. I know the official art isn't as good as it could be sometimes.
