>>54553393Whisper is simply too based, it's not a fair comparison with the others. His mere existence is what made Game Freak create the Rotom Dex for Gen VII, in attempt to rival his popularity as game guide mascot, which consequently led to pokemon becoming even more handholdy. Yo-kai Watch's influence is all over the Alola games, it's insane.
>>54554999Pyro Jack is simple, iconic, easy to draw and faithful to the folk myth.
>>54555465Ludicolo would arguably be the better one here, if it weren't for the fact that at a first glance it's impossible to distinguish as a Kappa, the design is good but it looks more like a duck-cactus than a Kappa for the uninitiated.
Walkappa and Gawappamon are great, you can instantly tell they're Kappa while also remixing the traditional design without modifying it beyond recognition like Ludicolo. Gawappamon gets bonus points for the CD Disc though.
>>54555505Ogremon is just better. I love Ogrepon but there's no beating Ogremon, it's straight to the point while keeping as charming and aggressive as it could, even getting away with blending both concepts of a ogre from the east and west.
>>54555594Impressive how Shiftry is the best design out of these 6 while also being the weakest out of all of them. These recent buffs were sorely needed.
>>54556155Comparing Lucario to the rest of these is unfair. If there's a single pokemon that can be used as a major argument against genwunning whining, it is Lucario.
