With so much heated discussion about Pokemon designs lately, I'd like to ask you guys to post Pokemon you think have the best designs. No need to argue or make your case, I just want to see your gold standard of Pokemon designs.

For me its Snorlax.

Snorlax is good, but he's a little underdesigned.

It's gotta be pic related.

Gliscor is good improvement in design from Gligar so I think they should strive for something more like this, recognizable yet it has stronger features from before.

Simple, endearing and easy to understand design gimmicks that are perfectly represented within the designs through both visual and behavioural traits. Both stages have their very own clear identity but at the same time are very believably related through their theming. Wide variety of uses with Pickup, lots of usable HMs and a competitively viable niche. 10/10 line

I wouldnt say snorlax is underdesigned in the same way I wouldn't say a bear is underdesigned. It works anatomically. It's simple, sure but it has the valid appearance of a real animals.

The only Pokemon I'd say is underdesigned would be Pyukumuku. Its simple, like snorlax, but is nothing more than a blob with spikes glued on.

All of the Gen1 and 2 starters, including all of the evos. They have fun, memorable designs that are also pretty imaginative and none of them are particularly under/over powered when compared to one another. The Gen 3 lines are alright, but the middle stages are dumb looking and even as a kid I couldn't wait for them to evolve into something else. The megas are shit tho. Like all megas. I wish that gamefreak would just delete all mega stones from the game code.

There are a lot more desu, Scyther, Heracross, Pyukumuku, Vikavolt, Torterra, Gardevoir. I really need a full poke chart that I can fill out so I actually know which designs I really like, don't like, and my reasons. It was fine up until 5th gen, then at that point there were just too many for me to keep track of.

I like simplicity, but with flair. So Pokemon like pic-related, Midday Lycanroc, Gogoat, Volcarona, and whatnot are my faves. I don't mind theme-mons mostly, but sometimes 'my mom's dog/hawk/etc' are just real comfy.

Golisopod is my all time number one, and I just knew it was my favorite looking at its sprite in the datamine. Others I agree with are these:

>>37785342
Batlike mons. Gliscor, Noivern, Lunala, are all cool as hell.

>>37785346
Powerful looking bugs too. Scizor, Volcarona, Vikavolt, Buzzwole, Pheromosa.

>>37785420
These too. Cute blobby ghosts like the Pumpkaboo and Litwick lines, and Mimikyu and Marshadow.

I like mons with a lot of personality, so I really liked the 7th gen starters a ton too. I really like the trend in designs more recent games have been doing, even if the actual content of games has suffered.

Gen 7 brought some top tier big designs with the Vikavolt and Golisopod lines. It was welcome after Gen 6 had a notable lack of bugs.

Hope Gen 8 brings some more as it’s my favorite type. Will we finally see the fabled bug dragon type?

I am biased, because this is my favourite Pokémon ever since I saw (and caught) it (her) in 2005, so of course it has my favourite design.
But I also like how it represents an important part of the monsters themselves. She looks cute on the front, but behind her is a goddamn mouth able to, according to the dex, snap and crush boulders with no effort. Like most Pokémon, when you think about it, no matter how cute or friendly they may look, at the end of the day they're still potentially dangerous animals.

Not to be a genwunner, but I love all the gen 1 Pokemon that are vague and not based on any one kind of animal in particular, like Snorlax, Slowbro, Electabuzz, Nidoking/Nidoqueen, etc.

Regardless of my actual preferences in Pokemon, these are some of the ones that I feel successfully capture the various facets of "Pokemon essence", in my opinion:

>Parasect
>Gengar
>Gyarados
>Eevee
>Snorlax
>Mewtwo
>Sudowoodo
>Wobbuffet
>Scizor
>Donphan
>Ludicolo
>Breloom
>Sableye
>Wailmer
>Regirock
>Regice
>Registeel
>Garchomp
>Whimsicott
>Darmanitan
>Galvantula
>Gogoat
>Swirlix
>Avalugg
>Toxapex
>Bewear
>Golisopod

Just a bunch of stand-out examples in terms of recognizability, charm (how much they succeed at being likable due to being cool/cute/goofy/elegant/what have you), creativity, solid and balanced design, brilliant real-world inspiration, etc. Of course I'm being vague as fuck here because this is all personal opinion, though.
