I know not everyone likes gen 8 designs, but lets have a thread where you pick your favorite, and tell everyone why.

My favorite: Appletun, he looks like a apple pie and apple pie is delicious.

Corviknight just feels right

I'm going to get flamed for saying this but Gen 8 has my favourite Dex since Gen 2. It has a lot of variety to choose from, while also tying it all together with an overarching fantasy theme. There's a lot of flukes, sure, but I can easily make multiple teams out of the Galar Dex because there are so many good designs.

I disagree, simply because I can't think of a bad design in Gen 2 off the top of my head, whereas I can think of a few when I imagine Gen 8.

>Galarian Zapdos

I'm not 100% bought in on the idea that legendaries can have regional forms but this one is great. It's the perfect example of what a regional form should be, a completely new take on a Pokémon that still maintains a strong sense of familiarity. It's not a just a reskin but a real representation of divergent evolution.

Meh I get you, some of the designs are absolutely great. I dislike the Galar dex since it has so many stinkers but I still really appreciate over half of them. Centiscorch, Orbeetle, Perrserker, Corviknight, Dragapult, Appletun, Obstagoon and Cramorant are some really good designs IMO.

My favorite Galar mon would be Frosmoth, it's cute and stylish and we finally got our Ice/Bug mon.

Can't say I'm really against the grain with my opinions on Gen 8 designs. Really like Appletun and Corviknight. I think Dracovish is hilarious and I don't believe that's even considered contrarian at this point. I dislike many choices made elsewhere and there are very simple fixes that can make the Pokémon more visually appealing. The starters are absolutely my least liked of all time, and most of my least favorite Pokémon now come from Gen 8.

It's an overabundance of designs meant to be joke designs, and none of the jokes are particularly funny. Some of these designs are OKish, but others are some of the worst this series has ever put out. Gen 1 might've had a lot of kaijumons, and Gen 2 might've had a lot of cutemons, but those are fine enough. Joke designs are bad especially when the joke isn't funny in the first place, and you're just stuck with a fucking mess.
