So I was talking with my friend recently. We're both irritated whenever someone makes the claim Pokemon has run out of ideas. Just a few crappy designs for a gen mean nothing.
My personal least favorite designs actually come from the first two gens. Grimer and Muk - it's a pile of poop that evolves into a bigger pile of poop. Digglett and Dugtrio - that's not an evolution, it's a party of Diggletts. And Unown. They did nothing to that except put eyes on the alphabet. Some of my favorite designs come from more recent games, such as the haunted tree Pokemon in 6th gen or Dusknoir from 4th gen.
So my question is this:
What is your least favorite Pokemon designs? What are your most favorite?
Try to keep away from the obvious Ice Cream Cone discussion, go for something different. Also, a reminder, this discussion is on design alone, not relating to how well the Pokemon do in battle. Otherwise, I like Muk and Dugtrio in terms of battle. Just concentrating on design, what are your opinions?
