You know what, I've just now pinpointed one of the main things that irritates me about some of the designs we've been talking about, something I didn't realize until this very fucking moment.
It's the human-like characteristics. Obviously all of the other shit I mentioned still apply too, like retarded faces being slapped on things, but the human-like characteristics definitely play a big part too. Can't believe I haven't been able to figure that out till now, I knew I was missing something.
Probably explains why Scrafty and Scraggy are my least liked Pokemon in the entire series, they have every single thing I dislike wrapped into their designs.

>Truly one of the best to come out of gen 5 and perhaps my favorite rock type aside from ArcheopsRock, grass and water are easily my 3 favourite types, so many quality designs from those typings. Archeops is great too though, I agree.
>>39546555Even in fantasy settings there's always a sense of realism. Everything from the DnD and setting works because things follow the rules that the world set for it.
