ITT: Pokémon designs you began to appreciate when you learned what they were based on.

>Its design is based on a road worker, with the body resembling a protective suit and the yellow stripes forming a safety vest.

Used to think he was stupid and vaguely phallic, but a couple semesters ago I took an Art History class and leaned about Easter Island and learned more abut the statues and realized that he is wearing a pukao crown, something that was only put on statues that represented important people. This makes him seem a lot cooler and while his nowhere near my favorites I do appreciate his design now.

It's a dislodged icicle covered in snow that inspired the concept of ice cream in the Pokemon world. The design was never one that I hated but knowing the actual design process behind it means I'll probably never hate it.

Stop with this cancerous mindset.
If a design is shit, it remains shit even with an ebin concept behind it.

Btw, although the perfect design both looks appealing and has an interesting concept, I'd take an appealing design with no concept over a disgusting design with a good concept anyday.

Not understanding a design doesn't make it shit though. If you think a design is bad after fully understanding it, that's completely fine, but there's nothing wrong with appreciating something more after learning the ideas behind it either.
First impressions can be wrong.

See >>38243651. When you understand what a design is trying to accomplish, it can give you a better frame of reference to appreciate it.

I'll give an example with Dunsparce. Now Dunsparce is cute, but it's also weird. The reason Dunsparce has the drill/stinger tail, and the stripes, and the wings, is that the animal its based on, the tsuchinkio or whatever, in Japanese the name is very closely related to bumble bee, so Dunsparce is effectively a pun.

The biggest problem with Dunsparce is understanding its design doesn't translate well, so it can just come off as a weird monster to foreign audiences. But when you do it gives you a newfound appreciation for the little snake, and it doesn't feel so random.

I found Froakie generic at first, but looking deeper into it’s origins I later found it a fun design

The best thing about Dunsparce is that the animal it's based on, the tsuchunoko, is a Japanese cryptid that's just a fat snake that can double-jump (hence the crappy little wings.)
