Is it that bad that gen 4 and 5 mons designs are so complex? To me, it shows that there was effort put into them. Literally everything after Unova felt like it was made for toys manufacturing.

Pokemon don't even look like Pokemon after gen 2.

I mean it depends on who you ask but people have different opinions on "simplistic" vs "too simple" and "complex" vs "overdesigned" and the middle ground is more of a subjective point of view

All comparable to gens 4 and 5 and are just as ornate. Do any of these look like they were made to sell toys?

Literally Ew, these made me skip gen 4 and 5 and made me avoid Pokemon until I saw an X and y trailer.
I was like 10-11 when D P came out, but still.

A local Gamestore had new awful Dialga and Palkia figures and my least favourite designs were my first impression to gen 4.

Yes it is. The design quality plummeted after gen 3 because of it

Plus Kommo-o, arguably one of the most intricate mons ever. This is just another "I don't like later gen mons" thread. All the generations past 3 have both cutesy "toy" mons and detailed mons. I feel like Clawitzer could have easily been a gen 5 mon and nobody would have thought it was out of place.

Yes it does. Unnecessary details clutter the design, dilute its point, and make it look out of place with previous designs.

The design direction started in Gen 3
Groudon allways looked more like an action figure than a functional creature

Did it really tho?
Groudon seems to have a good depth in its design.
It is the continent Pokemon,the black spots on its body could resemble fissures between continents(its red parts) and other than the spikes on its side it seems like a large lizzard woth more body mass instead of la onger tail.

It did. Claydol and Nosepass are some examples as well. Groudon is just a really good illustration of looking really unrealistic and clunky. You can't tell me it doesn't look like a knock off figure you'll find in some random toy store.

FYI, Claydol and Nosepass are based off of dogus and moai statues, respectively.

Who cares about how a Pokémon looks like a toy or not? The franchise runs on merchandise, so it makes sense that the new Pokémon designs look like “toys”. You just have to accept it nostalgiatards.

When they don't contribute to the point of the design.
