>>58038789I should probably explain. Everything above C is cool, and gives credence to mega evolutions unlocking the hidden potential of pokemon and expanding their strengths and pushing their designs forward in a way that shows off their unleashed potential.
Everything below B are just derivative design and cultural memes. Some of them are straight up tropes, like shoujo princess Diance.
C barely gets a pass, but its obvious they're there for favorability than design. Heracross and Pinsir could've been pushed further, Slowbro is literally ass, Scizor degrades a design, Venusaur could've been done better, Charizard Y is unnecessary, Glalie is weak, they're C tier.
D is ass, all of it. Alakazam and Medicham are unnecesary Hindu memes (If I can tell they designed it with real cultural motifs, then it's bad design), Kangashkan breaks the pokemon permanently because now the baby is part of the design rather than it's own thing, Mewtwo X/Y degrade the OG design by making a "further beyond" movement to an already ultimate pokemon, the rest are just bad filler.
