>>40292733>pokemon should have grounded anatomyThey're monsters, they don't have to be realistic.
Granted, stuff like Impidimp is definitely the prime example of when cartoonish anatomy goes too far, but stuff like the first form starters having simplified anatomy has always been a thing. And naturally I can point to several examples of gen 1 designs having non-grounded anatomy.
>and be cool looking monsters Not that there's anything wrong with "cool looking monsters", but having the entirety of Pokemon as a franchise consist of "cool monster" designs would be repetitive. Also, again, plenty of cartoonish, whacky designs in gen 1.
>weird calarts monstrocities I don't think you even know what that buzzword means.
>bad color schemesThis is hardly a universal nugen problem. Sure, there's some real shitty palettes, but they're not ALL shitty, and certainly nothing as bad as in OP's example (aside from shinies, but obviously that doesn't count)
