>>53604173Loves me some industrial slime. Really, I don’t think you could convince me that any of the Gen 1 mon are bad designs. Closest thing to that would be the Seel line, I guess, but they’re more generic than bad. Kanto designs are timeless throwbacks to an era of jrpgs that don’t really exist anymore.
I’ve always seen Gen 2 designs as counterparts (in some cases extensions of) to Gen 1 designs + theming, but the series lost a lot of its identity with Gen 3, something that seems to have been intentional. Guess we could debate whether or not that was a good thing; it’s just undeniable that the series is currently near-unrecognizable to Gen 1 and its conception.
