>>43724569Most of the dex is bland, forgettable filler. I don't like talking about viability in a design thread but the fact that most of them were single stages that were basically unusable (or fucking unobtainable til postgame) doesn't help their case.
Also the more I look at it, the more I realise the dex is full of all the shit /vp/ claims started in the nu generations
>simple cartoony animal with le cutesy smiley face like all of the babies, aipom, quagsire, teddiusa, lanturn, sunflora the entire jumpluff line >humanoids with epik human profession like slowking, smeargle, delibird>edgemons (this one doesn't bother me personally but plenty of people bitch about it when its other dexes) like Houndoom, Sneasel Every Gen has it's good and bad designs of course. Natu/Xatu, Girafarig, Magcargo and Skarmory still stand as some of my favourite designs in the series. But overall I really think it's the worst dex we've had.
