Have I just become too cynical or have all the gen 8 pokemon been really subpar to terrible?

If you think they're all bad then you just have terrible taste but if you think most are bad then yeah you're right.

I have never, not once in my entire life
laughed, and then followed with abject disbelief,
at the garbage they called "finished designs"
despite all the criticism I would dish out to new mons.
I've never seen a generation that completely disregards the past pokemon artsyle in such fashion before. It is still astonishing to me

I don't know, I was disappointed even when the starters were revealed because they looked so different than usual (in a bad way) and every leaked Pokemon looks worse than the last.

So far I've only liked Scorbunny, Obstagoon, Sirfetch'd and Alcremie.

yep, pretty bad. And the fact that so many of them are british is dumb like alola wasn't 100% hawaiian themed, kalos wasn't entirely french, unova only had like 2 mons actually based on something american.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way, many of them look like the fakemon that get shit on around here.

Gen 5 still had a couple of cool mons like gigalith and volcarona, I'll hold my criticisms for gen 8 till we see the whole pokedex though

Definitely cynical.
Though they did fuck up with marketing, showing absolute trash like Obstagoon and Alcremie, when pretty much every leaked pokemon is superior to them.

Personally I've liked the Corviknight line, the fighting octopus line, the snow moth line, and the fire centipede.
Those are the main ones I like.
There are also a few others good looking pre-evolutions, but bad evolved forms.

no way
the spritework and everything still resembled pokemon, if anything mons resembled something from gen 3
This though? With the highlighter color pallets, the foam-like models, the softness of some mons? This is very VERY different than what we originally had. Some of the new mons look completely out of place compared to even shit from XY

I dont know how to put this but I hate the shape of all the gen 8 pokemon like impdimp evolution for example it looks like they slapped some ovals together for his arms instead of drawing actual arms

They clearly shifted their mentality towards designing pokemon to make things easier for 3D modelers. Everything is becoming rounder, simpler and full of flat surfaces and basic shapes everywhere.
It became really apparent in gen7.

Same. I don't know what it is about the design philosophy about this gen, but it just doesn't have that patented pokèmon feel to it. I find it really hard to believe that it's just the result of Turner being in charge of art direction this time around, especially since I personally quite like some of his previous mon designs. Even gen 6 and 7, that have my least favorite regional dexes in general, had some pokèmon designs that instantly became my favorites. This time around not a single new mon revealed so far has had that effect, and all of them lack that something that's usually present in (nearly) all pokèmon. It's like the whole generation was designed by the same dude who was in charge of Crabrawler, which also in my opinion looks more like a fakemon than a real one for some reason.

thanks, you coined it perfectly. it really has become apparent hasn't it? Why the fuck won't they just hire more modelers so they can work on the designs faster? This shit sacrifices the integrity of their past design work

I felt the sprites looked terrible, I didn't like any mon from the entire dex either. Look at how just manufactured garbage gen 5 looks compared to every gen but gen 8.
Before you scream KAAAAAANNTOOOO I didn't like the gen 1 dex either.

I don't think 2d looks bad, the sprite work for gen 5 i feel looks bad. I liked gen 4s sprites the best.
>>40707293
It's the colors, it looks like a mass produced copy to make as much money as possible from a greedy corporation rather than anything people actually cared about. That's just the impression I got from everything gen 5 presented.

Don't forget how fucking terrible the typings are for all the Pokemon, almost everything is monotype

>All the starters are monotype
>Sirfetch'd is mono-Fighting despite there being dozens of pure Fighitng Pokemon already, and only one Fighting/Flying Pokemon
>The Octopi are pure Fighting instead of Water/Fighting despite there not only being another pure Fighting this gen but also only two other Water/Fighting Pokemon, one being a legendary
>Two pure normal lines with no big gimmick
>Pure Electric type
>Pure Water type
>Pure Ghost type
>Pure Fairy type
>Pure Ground type
>Pure Steel type
What's going on? Aside from Steel all the rest of the types have TONS of monotype Pokemon already.
