>>41766931this truly is a cherrypicked arguement. on the then side, replace ledian with scizor, heracross, pinsir, dustox, fortress, ninjask/shedinja, armaldo, vespiquen, drapion (i count him because skorupi is bug type), and of course, genesect.
yanma isn't even yanmega lmfao
beedrill, ariados, and shuckle are all badass
also, I include gen5 mons in the "good designs" pool, so toss volcarona, scolipede, galvantula, leavanny, and escavelier into the "then" bin, leaving you with golisopod, frosmoth, vikavolt, and the flaming acid strip.
> while we're at it, add vivillion, ribombee, buzzwole, the fucking cockroach dominatrix abomination of an idea, and the weird ufo planetarium polygon ladybug thingy from gen8. i forgot the name.both sides have pros and cons, but the majority, the "then" category has more pokemon that actually look like pokemon. sure you guys have golisopod, frosmoth, and a flying xbox slower than i-explorer and frailer than a shill's feelings, but we have so many more. even the pokemon that aren't regarded as fan favorites, like parasect, beautifly, and mothim, they still look like pokemon. meanwhile, james turner was taking every drug known to man as he made the new bug lines, thank god we have the snow moth to cover for the abominations of centiscorch and the ladybug jew.
