>>42336003OK I'll bite for you. It looks ugly as sin and has ugly textures. It's a concept that would've suited a Pokemon more in the style of Claydol or Sigylph better, but they instead decided to make it a cutemon with weird proportions (but not too weird to where it's alien, so it's in an uncanny valley), the boots it has are ugly and the dirt looks ugly on them, and fuck the adventure time eyes.
>ignoring the fact that half of all first gen Rock Pokémon are exactly a pile of rocks.No one has held Geodude as a pinacle of Pokemon design, but it looks like a rock instead of a plastic toy. And Pokemon designs should be getting better, not worse. The accusation of "there's always been shit Pokemon designs" is not a valid argument.
