The dex is 10% good designs, 30% dogshit designs, and 60% mediocre designs. To me that isn't acceptable considering it's another sub-100 new batch and over half of the old Pokémon got cut.

Gen 8 is full of good ideas terribly executed. Everywhere I look I see clashing neon colors that make pokémon look lile toys, noodle limbs and round heads because 3D modelling is hard presu understand, and humanoid garbage with le quirky cartoon personality

Most of the Gen 8 would be great if they were mase on Gen 3-4

In gen 1 and 2, Jesus get over it already. Originally Pokemon was supposed to be a one off. It wasn't planned to be a global phenomenon. Once it got popular and they started designing new Pokemon for gen 3 they started making colorful and silly Pokemon for the cartoon and merchandise. No one wants a stuffed animal of Onyx or Geodude.

You tried with your cherrypicking.

Treecko has ticker arms than Intelleon, and gets arms that look at least articulate and functional when they evolve.

Mudkip's features are not nearly as glued on as its Gen 8 equivalent Sobble (compare the head fins), and has a robust body that is not nearly as comically small compared to the head as most basic stage Gen 8 starters. And none of them have terrible neon color schemes

You can do these kind of oversimplification with almost every mon in the franchise. Dragonite is a dragon which... is fat? Pelipper is a gull that suddenly turns into a cartoon pelican, Geodude is just a rock with arms and there are like six or more turtle lines, why can't there be a couple of moths (coming from different species/themes)

honestly probably on par with a lot of recent gens.
some crap, a lot of wasted potential, some gems.
Blipbug is the worst.
I really wish they went away from theming so many pokemon, or at least recognizing when it worked.
Armor Knight bird
>good
water lizard that is also a spy for some reason when his preevolution is just a crybaby for also some reason
fire bunny that is also a soccer player instead of just fire bunny

honestly toning down or getting rid of a lot of of over design would have greatly improved the past few gens.

I think what's making me dislike a lot of them is how they look very unorganic and not monster-like.
It's the opposite of what they were talking about how they design pokemon with a purpose and how they do things in the wild.
Copperajah is awkwardly geometric and its anatomy doesn't make it look like something that can actually walk. Duraludon's limbs are stubby and weird, and I'm having a hard time imagining it moving around. Stonjourner is a piece of stonehenge with a face on it. Compare it to something like Geodude and it feels a lot less natural.

Truth is it's too early for people to judge the monsters. We need to see them in the anime first. That's where a lot of the personality of these creatures is established. Think back on bulbasaur for example. Would anyone have actually cared about that ugly plant monster without the cartoon? I doubt it.

I just find majority of them boring, most of them are just re-used concepts and aren't really "New" there are so many animals that don't have Pokemon equivalents yet we get another dark type fox and another Monkey and another Rabbit etc, it's all the same shit, never anything really new.

The Galarian forms are a hit and miss too, some are neat ideas (bear trap Stunfisk) but badly exeggcuted (lol) they just look bad, why is G-Yamask Ground/Ghost when it's holding a piece of Rock?

Then there's too many mono-type pokemon also.

The pokemon this gen just don't really look like they went through many design stages, almost like they went with the first drafts of their concepts.

>Main worry
Too many 2 stage monotypes that crunch hard on dynamaxing. By way of example sandaconda is the worse for this, the line feels unfinished, and when its gimmick goes, it will be an instant shitmon.

Too many monotypes, they didn't really go all out trying out new type combos

I don't like galar meowth evolves into something not persian. The design could have been its own thing; instead, it's a shill mon. Forms are one thing giving KAAAAAANNNNNNNNTTTTTOOOOO shit at the cost of the current-gen.

Also, when your best design in a gen is a regional form (cursola), it suggests you might need to bring in some new design blood.

I don't know if this is just because we don't have the art yet, but alot of designs 'feel' like they're from different franchises, they're just too different from each other.

A lot of these just doesn't belong in a pokemon game, even the designs I like or love.

All the way to Gen 7, they still had that certain style they've been mostly faithful to, now it looks like they've purposely took designs they've seen in shitty games and decided to place it in the game as if it was their own
