Terribly lazy designs

People shit on Magneton a lot for being 3 Magnemites, but at least most of the artwork for it actually looks different than Magnemite's. Nearly all artwork of Klink's evolutions is always just the original drawing of Klink but with more gears around it. It really is the laziest design that must've required the least amount of effort to create.

It's almost like bringing up magneton was originally a cope made by unovafags to make gen 5 critics look like genwunners

Unrelated but the whole line looks great when you remove the eyes and mouth. It's ends up like one of those weird, completely inhuman mechanical monsters that Pokemon doesn't really have many of.

It looks good in motion and if they showed it collecting gears and adding it to it's body I think people would like it. Kinda like a kid friendly carrion.

Thank you. It isn't even a contest, the Magnemite line is just better in every way. Magneton may just be three Magnemite but Magnezone takes the line in an interesting direction and makes Magneton better in hindsight since the line tells a story. Magnemite fuse into Magneton, then Megneton fuse even more into a cohesive and powerful unit.

Nah, I think the eyes make it even charmingly weird because they're so devoid of life. They just spin around with no emotion, as if they were just stickers slapped on the gears and are nothing more than a pale imitation of other life. You can even interpret either the oval dot or the x as being its "mouth" and it works either way, adding to the fake feeling of it all.

And that's cool. Imagine walking around in the subway and getting attacked by sentient gears.

It really isn't. It's the equilavent of a normal floating pebble flying around you, and you're supposed to call that a pokemon. It just sounds retarded.

If you're dumb enough to take everything at face value, then yes, but Geodude has eyes and arms which distinguish it. Taking away Klang's eyes would make its design even shittier and more generic than it already is.

But that's what great about it. It's picks up what the Magnemite-line discarded with Magnezone and centered it around gears with a cohesive design. It doesn't need to suddenly become something different entirely and thus, ruin the theme. Plus, it helps showcase constant animation.

The first time the Black/White sprites were leaked (September 2010 IIRC) I remember thinking "holy shit some of these designs are trash". Particularly Cobalion looked fan-made, and the goddamn genies were sprite edits of each other. I was like..... really?

But Sandile makes up for it.

I like it that way. It makes them feel more mechanical.

It's cooler in 3D where the rotation movement becomes smoother as it evolves

What irritates me about them is not their design, but the fact that their stats and typing don’t fit their movepool.
