>>40368439Overdesigned? Not really, but the design philosophy sure has changed, Comparing Ponyta to Galarian Ponyta, the proportions are much shorter and gives it a bigger head, and that applies to a lot of basic Pokemon now, the reason for this is that it makes them cuter and easier to sell merchandise of. They're also very meme-themed, Alolan Exeggutor, Galarian Wheezing, Sir-Fetch'd, except so far it's been a one trick pony of "Ha! It tall!" While there are cute Pokemon in past gens, none or close to none have had this amount of stylistic changes to them, You can pick out Meowth from Gen 1 and say "See? Gen 1 was exactly like this too!" but then immediatly gloss over the dozens & dozens of Pokemon that weren't like that.
