>>41462622Well for starters, Gen 5 has a great dex. Granted, sure, I would say it has more designs I dislike than any dex before it, mostly in the legendaries, but I'm pretty sure most people agree Gen 5 at least has a "pretty good" dex aside from autists who are still parroting the same old "HAHA ICE CREAM GARBAGE BAG" thing.
Gen 8 has a pretty lousy dex, for sure. However, I think Gen 7 has worse designs.
>boring recolor alolan forms; the most they change is add on some silly feature like FUNNY LONG TREE or making persian's face spherical>Complete trainwrecks of designs with good potential like Crabrawler's line>Obvious waifu-bait everywhere>Lumineon-tier forgetful designs like the lei or the mushroom (if you say you remember the mushroom it's only because of strength sap and you know it)>Boatloads of single-stage Pokemon that clearly should have evolutionsGen 8 has a LOT of blunders, but in my opinion it also has a lot of really solid designs that makes up for it; for each Polteagheist and Eiscue you've got a Grimmsnarl and Toxtricity.
