>>53084388>creating monsters. Impressive for a 13 year oldNo, gen 5 is impressive for a 13 years old, gen 8-9 designs are aimed at 5 years old.
Gen 5 was a soft reboot aimed at teenagers because they realized their fanbase was growing up and losing interest. Thats why it has more edgy designs and all the bug types in gen 5 look strong and cool.
Then in gen 8 and 9 with the popularity of pokemon go and a new generation interested in Pokémon, plus the numale phenomemon, they started to aim the games at toddlers. Knowing that this new generation, plus the growing number of manchildren would like it. Thats why the designs are so shit now, you can see it in the bug types, they all are small funny creatures with bright colors and simple shapes.
