>>54180238I mean I think we all here grew up with most generations. There was a decline starting gen 4 but it was never this bad, the anon above
>>54180207 is right, "#1000 Gold" could be the strongest most overused mon in Showdown and I'd still never see it as a Pokémon.
For the record I refuse to acknowledge Illumise and Volbeat, Gens 8-9 are full of that and worse.
Unova also has a lot of fakemons but.. Not this bad. Maybe because those games were sprite based, they didn't look as awful as newer Gens.
But I don't just hate things for being new. I like the Kalos dex. And Corviknight (the dark crow) and the Megaman warrior look awesome. But for every awesome mon there's three or four fakemons with random shapes and colors
