Holy shit. If this list were to be posted last gen, people would have no problem with labelling these as mediocre fakemon. But since pokegays have lowered their overall expectations in order to keep the cope going strong, these are now somehow 'good' designs.
call it cope if you want, but honestly? fakemon have better designs than most of gen 8's designs
i would rather have something that mostly looks poorly made and out of place and okay than something that looks well made and like shit
that said a lot of gen 9's mons also look like shit
i feel like a lot of these pokemon didnt need prevos
glimmora is great but why glimmet, especially when you fricking get it right at the end of the game anyways
Garganacl, Annihilape, the Charcadet evolutions, Grafaiai, Cetitan and Farigiraf are awesome. Flamigo and Orthworm are the only ones i sincerely disliked.
This gen is pretty solid overall since it felt like they weren't afraid of experimenting with quirky/weird designs. It's a huge step up from the last furbait regions which admittedly are also cool in their own way but were over-represented in the last few gens.
I'd say we are back to BW levels of design. I mean I only cared about like 10 pokemons in BW but it's still better than what came after.
Also this is the first time in years there's a decent starter (Meowscarada) even though it's too feminized (but it's way better than say, Primarina). Skeledirge MAY grow on me too. Quaqua is hideous.

Rest is whatever or shit but it is impressive considering my tastes.
You know, after checking this out i can say that the dex follows the 80/20 rule >80% of the heavily promoted mons are shit, 20% are good >Of those not shown, 80% are good designs, 20% suck dick >Regional forms and crossgen evolutions are 80% crap, and 20% fine >Paradox mons have all the future and some of the past versions looking fine, with the rest of the past versions being shit (again, 80/20)
It's so weird, who the frick was in charge of dex reveals for marketing?
Is there any significance of the future paradox almost making a rainbow? >Iron Treads
Red >Iron Moth
Orange >Iron Hands

Overall the designs are mediocre.
Ones I like >Floragato >Skeledirge >Finizen >Cyclizar >Toedscruel >Charcadet, Armarouge, Ceruledge (easily the best designs this gen). >Anhilape >Paldean Wooper >Iron bundle >Slither wing >Iron thorns
I sort of regret not getting Violet rather than Scarlet.
There's too many that I love for me to say this early, so just defaulting to the funny mice since early Normal types are my jam.
contrarian scum get the rope
Farigiraf by miles
Tandemaus
kingambit
as for new mons? wo-chien
there are so many that are great, but I'll settle for either annihilape or ceruledge
The golden god
After Eisque this is the worst looking Pokemon I have ever seen
I bet James Turner is behind this
obsessed
pawmot
Wo-Chien is the best Pokemon has ever been and it's not even close.
The first gen I can say there is only one or two I dislike, and even then I can tell I've already softened to them
Mostly the birbs. This gen looks really ai generated
Looking at the AI threads, those are a lot better...
Post one
This gen has some amazing mons, I easily filled 3 full parties.
My MVBP however is a SALT GOLEM
Lokix and Dachsbun.
Tinkaton
The ruinous legendaries are my fav I think. Some of the coolest legendaries in a long time imo
Clodsire.
bird or slither wing

I don't even hate the blacked out ones, just find them boring and not for me. It's a good dex.
Arctibax(and to a slightly lesser extent, baxcalibur), the ruin quartet, palafin, and iron bundle all probably make my list of all-time favorites
i feel like a lot of these pokemon didnt need prevos
glimmora is great but why glimmet, especially when you fricking get it right at the end of the game anyways
Glimmora.
I caught a Glimmet in the area full of tunnels after Levincia. Though i never saw another one.
Clodsire

I like the silly Cleopatra birb
You misspelled Nacli as Nacl
wo-chein is an awesome design.
seriously what a dogshit dex, they don't even try
Annihilape, Koraidon, Grafaiai, Chien-Pao, Palafin and Kilowattrel
Annihilape is my favorite
Palafin!

The fact you can't breed paradox mons is moronic. Either make them legendaries or make them breedable, this is not rocket science.
They're internal legendaries, like UBs
Dachsbun was shockingly fantastic. I was expecting it to be a total shitmon.
Don't get it twisted, I really dislike the "literally just gets bigger mon" but Pawmot has been growing on me a lot
I just really dislike the middle form.

Sprigatito, Floragato, Tinkaton, Ceruledge, Garganacl, Orthworm and Miraidon are absolutely amazing, they easily made their way to my favorites.
