Not all Pokémon can be nor should be amazing creative strokes of genius. The franchise has always had and needed mundane, simple and arguably boring Pokémon and that’s what makes the world more interesting and full.
>I don’t need every Pokémon to be an ‘insert your favorite design’ but some of these designs are lazy and unforgivable!
And that’s okay too. Some plants and animals in real life are pretty fricking dull looking too compared to more universally popular and beloved animals. There’s a reason people will pay money to see a tiger but put out poison and literally hire people to kill rodents.
tl;dr: not every Pokémon needs to be the coolest Pokémon. It’s okay to have a Dewgong or a Flamigo

I have nothing against Dewgong but that thing is just a pile of twigs.
I don’t think it word work as well if not for the good concept i.e. it’s the same spirit that go into Dhelmise but it ended up in a tumbleweed. Also always enjoy takes on pareidolia. It’s not flashy but it works
>t’s the same spirit that go into Dhelmise
Hold the frick up, source? That's pretty cool if it is.
It’s more hints based on the face being the same + Pokédex entries but there’s a lot of that stuff in ScaVio. Wooper turned Ground Poison from territory disputes. Cetoddler is a relative of the wailmer family. Wiglet is a Diglet adapted to the water. Toedscool is Tentacool adapted to the forest. And despite how obvious all of these are most of them aren’t even acknowledged in the Dex. Only the wailmer and wooper stuff is Dex canon. Seen people suspect Greavard is dead Maschiff too but that one might be a stretch
>Wiglet is a Diglet adapted to the water. Toedscool is Tentacool adapted to the forest.
Objectively wrong, these were confirmed to be coincidental evolutions that only visually look similar and have no relation whatsoever.
So shut the frick up with your bullshit.
You’re saying the same thing moron. Nobody is claiming this is Paldean Diglet or that Diglet turned into Wiglet. It’s divergent evolution from a shared ancestor. OP wasn’t implying Paldean Wooper and Wiglet are the same
A very slightly cartoony tumbleweed with eyes slapped on is not a Pokemon. At least Tangela had a body and feel.
hehe braplin
I dunno what exactly qualifies as a pokemon (Gens 1-2, and 3-5 to an extent are the closest) but I will say that there have been more misses than hits imo.
That’s the thing though. Peoples definition of a Pokémon is an arbitrary list of things they like. What isn’t a Pokémon is something they dislike.
I love the shit out of Dhelmise, Cacturne, and Trevenant. Of course I love the hell out of Bramblin and Bramblghast, too.
Hate the shit out of Flamigo, though, it's literally just my mom's flamingo.

LORD I WAS BRON A BRAMBLIN MAAAAANNNN
I like him cause his design makes it impossible to create merch for him, this is a truly soulful pokémon, no money hungry intentions, just bramblin
Walking in the desert and seeing these + mudball bros rolling around is the best part of the game
I don't care if a Pokémon is literally my mom's pet hamster, an ambiguous kaiju, a lizard that's simultaneously frozen and on fire, a pair of sneakers, or a bipedal jungle creature that works a 9 to 5 at the nearby donut factory. All I care about is that the designs of those things look good and synthesise whatever disparate concepts that make them up in an aesthetically pleasing manner, which is something that Game Freak largely seems to have forgotten how to do in recent years.
Why do you guys always have such lazy criticism. How about explaining why the designs were better when you were a kid instead of just blanket writing everything new off.
>a pair of sneakers
Thanks for reminding me that Spectrobes deserved better.
My problem with this Pokemon isn't that its simple. My problem with it is that it doesn't look like a Pokemon, Would prefer if it had actual anime eyes instead of moronic seeds that happen to look like eyes.
The point is that a ghost possessed a tumbleweed and is making the most of its shape to create features. Why would it have anime eyes. Using parts of the tumbleweed make sense
I agree and not everything needs to be a minmaxed 550+ bst competitive demon
