>>39075941One mistake you made:
The Paras line is more analogous to the Dwebble line than the Krabby line.
Anyway reasoning for the ties:
Drilbur line vs Sandshrew line: Former has amazingly fun concept. Latter pulls off "cool and cute" nicely.
Timburr line vs Machop line: Former seem more original(are less humanoid + interesting concept). Latter seem more aesthetically pleasing.
Tympole vs Poliwag: Both are adorable and have neat motifs
Onis vs Hitmons: Cooler concepts but basic designs vs Basic concepts but cooler designs
Dwebble line vs Paras Line: Fun concept vs Interesting concept
Ducklett line vs Psyduck line: Fun concept vs Interesting concept
Foongus vs Voltorb: Former pulls of the mimic better, but latter has more charm. Amoonguss is better than Electrode tho as mushroom shields are cool
Jellicent vs Tentacruel: Royal ghost jellyfish vs A neat chimera of jellyfish and cephalopods
>>39080140>gen 5 truly is the first bad pokemon gameDiamond and Pearl takes that throne tho.
