>>53114068Kids have the best taste in design because they aren't trying to be contrarian about things.
A little boy sees a giant steel rock snake, he inherently knows its badass. Therefore we get Steelix.
A little girl sees a lightning sheep with baby doll eyes and inherently knows its cute. Therefore we get Ampharos.
The best designs in the series come from appealing to kids.
Jobmons are bad because they don't feel like they can exist independently of humanity.
Hitmonchan only works because we have humans know what boxers are. Separate from that context its a fairly inexplicable design. It sucks.
Pokemon should feel like supernatural animals with few specific exceptions like Mewtwo. Emphasis on animals.
