What's your opinion on the Alola Dex and should Yusuke Ohmura (Pokémon design director for Sun and Moon) come back and replace James Turner for Generation 9?

I dislike it since there are too many "goody" and character pokemon

A lot of the designs are forgettable. Also the number of Pokemon introduced were overshadowed by past generations (design wise). Personally Yusuke Ohmura is my favourite Game freak artist so I would say yes, he should replace James Turner.

The dex is good. I love a lot of designs but it's far from perfect.

Gorgeous gen, loved every design. Poipole and Naganadel abit iffy but I can let them slide. Meltan and Melmetal are hideous but thank god they're not Alola pokemon.

I don't like what 1/3 of all new mons are legendaries which mostly have questionable designs(Abstract UB's are good but still strange)
Also too much derp/quirky designs

I hated sun and moon but I have to give credit where credit is due, the pokedex was one of the best in the series. Almost all the new pokemon reflect the unique wildlife of hawaii and each of them have a fascinating real life inspiration. It also helps a lot that they actually took the time to flesh out how they function in the world, through npc dialogue and pokedex entries. Overall a very strong batch of new pokemon. Miles ahead of gen 8.

It's a great pokedex. It has a lot of lows, and I mean some of the lowest in the franchise, but it makes up for it with incredible highs. It's a very polarising "love it or hate it" dex, with very few designs that are just there compared to other generations.

I love the Alola dex. There was a lot of thought put behind the designs and how they’re unique to Alola.

However, I prefer James Turner since there are too many cutesy or girly Pokemon in the Alola dex.

I really don't like this insistence on creating pokemon to fit a region directly based off of a real-world location/culture. Alola's isn't bad because it gave us a lot of cool tropical creatures but look at Galar and how it's overridden with moustaches. And then people say no, those designs are good because they're so British! I wish they would make original regions and pokemon rather than be so tied to uninspired pre-existing ideas like this, and I never see this criticized.

It's really growing on me. At first I disliked it, especially the starters, but now they are my favourites after the Hoenn starters.

The Pokemon are mostly very memorable and unique. I find it much harder to recall if a certain pokemom is from Gen4 or 5 (didn't play those a lot though).

Currently doing a Shield run with (among others) Oranguru, Passimian and Tsareena since I never used them. The apes are absolute beasts, the plant domina is okay I guess

Disregarding the UBs, it was pretty good dex. Overall, I'd say I like it better than Galar.

I wish the UBs and legends weren't like 1/4 of the dex. At least in Kalos and Galar almost all of the Pokemon were "ordinary" ones. In Alola it just feels like there's barely anything, and they seemed to notice this and have a lot of single stagers.

My other issue is that Alolan Pokemon tend to be really slow or just have shit stats in general. Half the shit would have been way stronger if it had been introduced in say gen 5 as they would have given them more bulk or speed or something.

Kommo-o is definitely my favourite Alolan Pokemon, with Araquanid in second.

Mostly underwhelming, with a few good mons like Vikavolt, Dhelmise, Palossand, Turtonator, and the UBs. Tapu Fini is a cutie, also.

Turner was art director though, not pokémon design director. Just because someone can create good creatures, doesn't mean they can create good worldscapes.

so many single mons and humanoid mons but what I actually liked about them is they tied in with Alola's environment. damn. UBs are one of the best things happened in the franchise. I love their surreal, gimmicky designs and the mystery behind them... they clearly introduced other otherworldly Pokémon we havent seen yet.
plus it has some of my favorites by design like Wishiwashi school, Mimikyu, Bewear, Dhelmise, Decidueye, Golisopod, Drampa,Tapu Koko, and Celesteela.

It's hit or miss. A lot of good designs but also some of the worst fucking designs in the series. Too much waifubait. Too many legendaries/UBs, not enough common Pokemon especially in an island archipelago where you'd hope to find a lot of new Pokemon

Anyone with a brain knows that the majority of each gen's dexes have been shit after gen 2. Gen 2 was like half and half, gen 4 and beyond are objectively dumb. That's my opinion.

Are there some objectively poorly-designed mons in gens 1 & 2? Yes. But they're a minority.
