>>39146232Gen 4 was the actual death of Pokemon.
It was the death of the original art style and designs. It went from more grounded and appealing Pokemon designs to over the top cartoony "cutesy" abominations like Bidoof and Chimchar.
>Hurf durf fuckin' nostalgiafag the cutesy designs are subjectively bad not objectivelyThis argument is objectively wrong. Bidoof is an objectively worse design than Rattata and Chimchar is an objectively worse design than any designs out of Gens 1-3.
Being able to like shitty designs and art styles doesn't make them not shit, it just means you have shit taste.
