Almost every pokemon is based on something, both the good and the bad.

OP's fundamental point is that the existence of a design with intent behind it doesn't automatically make said thing good, which is correct
OP however, as is always the case, is a faggot, so the thread sucks.

the see / speak / hear theming is very loose with these guys and is only apparent in their static art. it isn't a significant part of their designs

The monkeys are the definition of dex filler. They have the same fucking stats and evolve using a Stone so why are there 3 of them? The better way of handling them would be by making them an Eevee clone where the prevo is a singular monkey that evolves based on the stone you use on it, or just give the player a fucking Eevee instead

Traditionally there was a fourth monkey representing "do no evil" and his hands were covering his crotch

I bet that monkey's going to be evolved into an otaku. Or worse, a hikkimori/neet.
>>58635651
Pretty sure Pansage is speak no evil while Pansear is hear no evil.

Base forms are alright. Evolutions are ugly though. But personally for me, its more the fact that we wasted dex slots on 3 of the same species instead of doing something else but im over it

We already have grass/water/fire starters, why did they need to add even more to fill an incredibly basic niche?

>wasted dex slots
if these weren't included, those "slots" would simply go unused. They're not "wasted slots", they're mons that we otherwise wouldn't have. There are some designs that should never have passed muster but if any given design didn't go through, it doesn't mean we'd have another one to replace it.

So you're asking why they'd add more fire/water/grass mons to a pokemon game? Every game includes multiple mons of those types. They just decided to make another triplet of those types to fill out the early game. Why do they need a "better" reason than that?

They should give Wallace a big Milotic codpiece and nipple piercings and a cold sore and a buttplug with his badge on the end that he squats out and gives to you when you beat him

BW wanted to do a lot of trio related things and that starts with the first gym who had a trio of pokemon designed to match each other and be in the starter trio types to teach/reinforce type matchups
I find them pretty boring but I get why they exist

No you don't understand
In order to be considered LE GOOD a designs needs to be based on some man-made invention or activity and look jarring as a crearture living in the wild.
Animals + elemental stuff aren't considered to be le witty design, even if they are based on something
