That's a compliment if anything though, the weird part is when fags are trying to turn it into an insult. Like if you tried to insult someone by saying that their skin is radiant, or that their muscles are toned. It doesn't even make sense.

Ahahaha no, it isn’t. When a Pokemon is just cartoon animal + element then it’s pretty much guaranteed just to be a shit design. Go look at the most popular Pokemon, many of them are the ones that actually have interesting concepts or designs instead of just
>LOOK GUYS WE TOOK ANIMAL AND DREW IT TO LOOK LIKE A POKEMON REMEMBER YOU ASKED FOR POKEMON BASED ON ANIMAL?

Imagine how fucking forgettable Blastoise would be if it didn’t have its tank theme or Pikachu if it was literally just a recolored mouse like Dedenne or Blaziken if it was just a recolored chicken.

Pretty much every single Pokemon has a theme and having a theme alone does not make a good design. The elemental monkeys are some of the most thematic Pokemon out there, and also happen to be some of the least popular.

There was some youtuber who I think summed it up best. A lot of the new pokemon (especially starters) feel off because they seem to be built around a specific character rather than just one of a larger group of animals. Which I think is what people are trying to say when they throw out the digimon comparison. There's still good pokemon though.

Rowlet is literally just an owl
Wooloo is literally just a sheep
Totodile and its line are literally just blue alligators
Corviknight is just a metallic raven
Even Charizard is a generic western dragon
You see where I'm going, several animal+theme Pokemon are incredibly popular specifically for their simplicity and readability. And your Pikachu/Dedenne comparison doesn't really work, you got them backwards. Pikachu is quite literally just an electric rat, Dedenne actually has a whole antenna motif to it so by your logic it should be more popular, but it isn't.

Not the argument, retard.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

> Even Charizard is a generic western dragon
Yes, western dragon, not “big orange cartoon lizard”

> Dedenne actually has a whole antenna motif
Doesn’t matter when it still just ends up being a cartoon mouse.

I used Totodile as an example because if you weren't underaged, you'd remember that back then its line was by far the most popular of the starters.
>big orange cartoon lizard
And that's exactly what he is, all Pokemon are cartoons creatures based on irl concepts.
>cartoon mouse
Just like Pikachu, except Dedenne incorporates a third, non animalistic element in its design that with your logic should make him more popular.

>prattling on about the stupid "character" argument
who cares as long as the design is good?
a pokemon can be a "character" and still have a good design, just as a character can be "literally my moms" and still have a good design.
sure we got some stinkers like cinderace and intelleon but it doesn't speak for themes/characterizations as a whole.

So you agree Totodile is completely fucking irrelevant now?

>And that's exactly what he is,
Lizards have long skinny necks and wings?

>Just like Pikachu,
Except Pikachu doesn't resemble any real species of mouse.
