>>55774925For me the modern era pokemon design is mostly based on gimmicks, whether it be exclusive moves, abilities, or some other gimmick like Meowstic's gender based moveset. While 5 and 6 progressively had more of these, I'll try to stick to gen 7+ Pokemon that are just a normal gimmickless pokemon
Gen 7: Genuinely nothing off the top of my head.
Gen 8: Orbeetle, Thievul, Dubwool, Centiscorch, Frosmoth, Copperajah (Excluding Gmax)
Gen 9: Lokix (Axe Kick is actually not exclusive, some other kick based pokemon like Hitmonlee get it), Rabsca, Cyclizar (These two share a signature move with another pokemon, so by technicality they're here), Cetitan, Clodsire.
11 Pokemon from the last 3 gens. And out of them I could see Dubwool Lokix, and either Frosmoth or Centiscorch being the 3 pokemon that if they existed in the pre 3D games, I wouldn't question it.
