Is Cacturne a bad design?
I tried to retrospectively criticize older designs without the nostalgia bias.
His limbs are just unfunctional simplistic blob outlines, the spines are just basic diamond shapes, I like the eyes and the shape of the mouth. But the lack of shape and details outweighs the goods.
This is a well liked Pokemon but I can't find objective qualities to call it a good design, it would even fit nu-Pokemon style more than many other nu-Pokemon.

No because it’s a plant and they don’t need to follow the fundamental rules of non-plant creatures
Nah, it's not a bad design but it does feel a bit lacking, but only in the way that middle stage mons feel lacking. There's more that could have been done with it but it's fine as is.
But it's also a scarecrow cactus that evolves from a voodoo doll cactus so what more do you really expect from it
i don't dislike it but really his theme is barely apparent in its design, nothin wrong with subtlety but he should've had some more details
honestly had no idea cacnea was supposed to be a voodoo doll
>His limbs are just unfunctional simplistic blob outlines
there is nothing wrong with this because it makes it look more like a cactus
No.
its probably one of the best designs of gen 3
>After spending thousands of years in harsh deserts, its blood transformed into the same substances as sand. It is nocturnal, so it hunts at night.
what
Cacturne is so fricking cool.

Personally, I'd make his hat look more like a cowboy's
It's a damn cactus. I'd say it looks signinficantly more impressive than it should.
Don't use the word 'objective' if you aren't actually going to be objective. First define what it means to be a good or bad design.
The limbs are what cactus "limbs" look like.
Its spikes probably should be black to compliment its dark typing
Zangoose, Seviper, Delcatty, and this guy all need something new.
Regional form, evolution, Idk something.
its a cactus scarecrow you weenie
The only thing lacking is animations.
It should have have physical attack animation where its barges in with slightly bigger spikes
NOOOOOOOOOOO THE LIMBS ARE JUST SIMPLISTIC BLOB OUTLINES THIS DESIGN SUCKS
it doesn't have plenty of unnecessary details like how nugen mons are like

Awful
This isn't anything new for Grass types. Mons like Gloom and Vileplume are the same way.
