the truth is that for every great design there's a bunch of lazy filler like the ignishell, diloweed, pebblosa, rocano and orett lines, as well as good concepts being completely wasted like the cairup, peppit and quecko lines
you can also tell that there's only a handful of designs which follow the sugimori drawing style and pokemon aesthetics, and it's probably the one guy who designed the starters, warquila, buckston, monkezuma, fuelong and all the other top tier designs in the dex
he should have been the only one allowed to design anything
