Because there's a complex "digimon" Pokemon in every game, even the ones that pre-date Digimon.

I've been playing Pokemon before you were born Zoomie, try actually knowing what the Pokemon are based on before you compare them to unrelated Pokemon.
This list only makes me realize the gen 8 starters look like shit.

And in a decade or two we'll have the fetuses that grew up with 3DS games complaining that "their" franchise is dying as well. It's just how generations work, anon. The only real problem is that sinnohsperm continue to act like spoiled 8 year olds who lack respect for what their parents enjoyed because "lol why would I play THAT, that's OLD and UGLY!"

Hypno comparison is bad because Reuniclus doesn't look Psychic either at all, while Hypno being Psychic requires background knowledge on the myth it's based on to understand.
Dragalge is indeed a based design, one of the few exceptions of the last two gens.
Machamp's design being trashed here is also based on ignorance of the Trade Evolution theory of Trait Transference. Machamp is in short, a hybrid of evolved Machoke and Graveller. It looks like a human but it wasn't before, and it has reason to be so now. Would have been more convincing to just call the lips ugly. The belt is indeed dumb though.

Stopped reading there.

they are based on Kappa, particularly Golduck, hence its name.
It just doesn't have the shell(s) or the basin of life.
They are platypus though.

I'm assuming you mean, on the one hand, complexity of the artwork, which can be kinda summarized as "effort".
On the other hand, you may mean the complexity of the design, insofar as it incorporates many different distinct elements into something new, almost unrecognizable to what we are accustomed to seeing IRL and in other cultural entities.

I don't care what the rest of the franchise does, my interest lies solely in Game Freak's efforts. What you deaf, dumb and blind cunts don't realise, is Game Freak's creations drive the franchise. Without a new game every so often to introduce more, all that side game shit dries up, as people eventually want more and more pokémon (as Game Freak are known to add to the roster every new Gen). The cores will always survive and I will continue to buy them. Don't give a fuck about the rest of the noise, it's part of being the biggest multi-media franchise in the world.

Anon, Pokemon is made for everyone, but is targeted to small children. Digimon is a franchise made for a specific audience, the niche teen audience, but Pokemkn is made to be enjoyed by literally anyone.

I've seen /vp/'s attempt at making a game "because it's easy, Game Freak can do it" only for it to not only die a horrific death, it really wasn't very much good to boot. Whatever GF do do, is enough to keep me coming back, even after thinking I was free after failing to pick up Gen III back in the day.

No. TPCi is focussing on everything but the things that made pokèmon what it is: The main classical games, the anime and the animated movies secondly, and pokespe (which still isn't accredited by TPCi) and good spin offs (PMD, Ranger, Battle Sims, Pinball, TCG) thirdly.
Marring agencies, hollywood movies, a cloth line, normie shit and gacha shit. It's becoming too big for its own good. I'll just stick with the main games anyway, but if SS also end up to be shit, I will be off this run.
