>>44290775It's Godzilla. A powerful monster. In my opinion it looks like one of the most "evil" and strongest pokemon.
>>44290788Torchic looks like a baby chick which if you ever had or seen one in real life are probably the cutest thing ever. Combusken looks kind of weird. Blaziken looks like a fire fighting rooster. Also
>>44292546 looks like a humanoid digimon.
>>44290798I used to like Flygon because it has cool types and stats but I got over its appearance. I think its wings and tail are cool but its head is real dumb.
>>44290825I like some more than others but the best ones look like powerful pokemon in approachable designs. The worst one just look too cutesy to look strong.
>>44290883It's true that the new crop of pokemon is weak but it's hard to deny Dragapult is one of the best of them. It looks like a B2 bomber and it's very angular which is not a common trait in pokemon designs.
Mimikyu is a bit overrated but at the same time is another unique concept as a pokemon. It's just a rag like Shuppet or Banette but just better.
>>44290909I think the spritework and representation for the Johto starters has been really bad but they are nice designs. The worst thing about them is that they are really safe but unlike modern designs they look like they belong in the natural world. Not a dig at modern starters "having jobs" but you can say some pokemon are closer to animals than others.
>>44292652I think its pretty ugly but it is very powerful. Also baramon have a guaranteed fanbase no matter how ugly.
>>44292676Like Rhydon and Tyranitar the Nidos are from the early crop of pokemon that just look like Godzilla. I think they are look like cool aggressive monsters but I can see how they all look a bit like each other. I thought most people liked Kaijumon but I guess they are divisive.
>>44292717You can clearly see the appeal because you just said it but it doesn't appeal to you which it doesn't have to.
>>44293449I'm all for weak pokemon that are just animals.
