>>51819204Gen II is kind of garbage design wise, so people liking the beta versions of some mons isn't that crazy. The vast majority of mons feel like dex filler, there's maybe five or six evolution lines I actually like, while the gen II beta had some designs for pokemon that I actually prefer over their finalized designs, like the more catlike Hoppip and the actual palindrome Girafarig.
