It's nice to see that the cherrypicking works both ways. Anyways, I think each gen has its strongpoints, every bewear has its vikavolt. Gen 1 though did have a lot of lazy designs, but part of that was just making 151 monsters to fit in one gameboy game, it was the first time they did something like that, and it was tough. Overall though, newer gens have generally better designs (although impidimp makes me want to commit sudoku)

every single gen 5 pokemon you used in that example ruins your cherry picked image.

So we all agree that good designs are those that aren't cartoony and those that are ambiguous. Great. Also fuck you for thinking that cereal mascot worst design to exist incineroar is good

So you believe that the most important aspect for a Pokemon is ambiguity? So that must mean your favorite Pokemon is Duraludon, because nobody knows what the fuck that thing is.

Its a response to a retarded genwun graphic that used that for gen one designs, with everything new being considered cartoon and bad

I like impidimp a lot but this is a thoughtful reply.

I think personally each gen has its own design tropes, which you might like, or might not like. That said, I think all the gens sort of stand apart visually. You can tell by looking at a pokemon that yeah, its a pokemon, but each generation stands apart. Gen 1 mons look different to gen 3 mons, gen 3 mons look different to gen 7 mons.

Exceptions include the likes of Skarmory which everyone seems to assume is a weird gen 3 monster when it's really from gen 2.

I think either gen 3 handled it the best as it went with more of variety instead of a true design theming.

I like this post but have no idea what you mean by this
>overall though, newer gens have generally better designs
I can agree with this, but i think the art style of the games and presentations of the pokemon have declined
Just imagine how much more of a fan favorite design golisopod would be with gen 4/5 spritework, or how universally hated typhlosion would be if it only had its gen 6+ model

Cartoon bat is lame
Cartoon seal is nice in its simplicity. There are few white mons. The other one is weirdly designed its snout is cringy.
Persian isn't a persian cat, rather a puma and it is slick.
Plant deer is more beautiful but the concept is too obvious.
Butterfree is way cooler, the other one is just a vivid butterfly.
Gas ghost nice in its simplicity. The other one is too Halloweenesque.
Togepi, clear design. The other one is a nice concept but too bulky and that face...
2 kind of seahorses equally nice. Counterparts, the sweat one and the toxic one.
We need regular dragons in dragon type before developing weird things such as a snail dragon.
Slick bird, nothing wrong with it. The moon shit is flat and over-designed so that we get it's a legendary...
Both turtles are great. Tortwig is a cartoon turtle

I much prefer newer designs as a whole, but I would also prefer it if they were given more detail/definition and better proportions like old designs were. As an example I love all the pinniped mons with the Popplio line as my favourites but things like Primarina's flippers just having lines with no definition, the completely flat transition from its head to hair, the lack of any texture to its parts which makes some of the design details needlessly ambiguous and its tiny neck bother me.

Would prefer newer designs in the old artstyle.
That, and just a mix between the two. I like a lot of both old and new and don't care for a lot of both, as well.

bewear to vikavolt probably means round designs (bewear being five ovals and some head accentuation fluff) to something more complicated (vikavolt being a bunch of moving parts with inorganic inspiration for an organic creature). whether or not they are good is subjective.

and your interpretation of things being enjoyed more as spritework is also fully subjective. I think golisopod's 3d is pretty great. shame it's not available in hd outside of an emulator.
