>>459147603D didn't ruin the series, anon. There are plenty of Pokemon who transitioned well into the new medium, many older Pokemon gained new animations or idles that expanded on their character (like properly showcasing just how fucking bad of a flier Archeops is in a comedic goofy fashion not unlike Eelektross's little jig). I'll dare say, even most of the Pokemon introduced in the 3D format are good. I like just about everything out of Gen 8 and Gens 6 and 7 aren't that bad either. That being said...
>>45914807>>45914815This turd is the one exception. I genuinely cannot grasp how anyone could like this pile of shit. Duraludon is the ONLY Pokemon in the series where I see nothing redeeming or likable about it. It has nothing going for it. It's just fucking awful. It was clearly made to sell cheap hunks of plastic and shitty toys and it shows, it doesn't even look like it could reasonably function as a natural creature or in the wild. It's design is atrocious, a nonsensical mishmash of random junk heaped together in an overtly pristine manner yet attempting to be somehow "organic" and saurian resulting in something that just looks like an ugly fusion of an inhaler and a toilet seat. And it's G-Max form is just "HEY IT'S THE SHARD, GET IT, BECAUSE IT'S BRITISH?" yet despite that the G-Max form looks almost immobile and indeed, it can barely move or do anything (it's arms can't even really reach anything anymore and it's neck is just an inflexable mass; trying to bend over would result in it falling and being unable to get up again so it just has to sit there and do nothing). It's an absolute abortion of a design, a disappointment for the first non-legendary dragon/steel type and above all else the fact that they decided to specifically try to hype Duraludon up over any other mon from Galar is fucking insulting to the rest of the dex. Especially once you finally get to fight it and realize that Duraludon is a fucking joke in battle.
