Gen II is where they really started experimenting with designs. The tuft of hair on Gold, Kris's famously rigid tails, etc. Even more normal looking designs had strange elements to them they were wholly unique to those characters. Even when they started toning down designs in the wake of character customization, you still had things like Selene's famous hat that earned her the nickname "Chicken-chan."
