5th gen pokemon are terrible looking in general.

Nintendo actually declared that "pokemon in this new region look different because they evolved separately"

in other words, this is the australia of pokemon

Nobody likes the puffbat but: http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon.shtml
Most of the pokemon are decent-looking. The legendaries at the bottom look so dumb >_>

Crikey! Look ovuh theh, a wild Pikachu has appeared! Gorgessss

In all seriousness though, lots of the newer gen basic Pokemon look goofy - Bidoof, Chimchar, Slakoth etc

At least it's not a Jynx, those are horrible.

5th Generation Pokemon are pretty creative and good. It's 3rd and 4th generation that is generally uninspired and boring =/

People are just too blinded by nostalgia really.

I haven't seen much after the first generation or whatever, I did play a few after those (up to Fire Red/Leaf Green).

I knew it was time to stop when I saw a pokemon that was a cactus wearing a poncho. No ty.

(do I need to explain this one?)


I know I'm selectively picking evidence. To be honest, I think Game Freak went a little bit overboard with the creativity - look at all the frills on that legendary dragon. There are random spikes, sashes, and spots of color on most pokemon, and it really detracts from the artistic value IMO.

I dont know what gen it is but it was the only good one from Pokemon Platinum.

How i wish so very much there was a turnbased battle RPG that had the depth strategy and collect-ability of pokemon without the creatures looking like they want hugs.
Im looking at you... Spoink

Of course you'll have "knock offs" of previous gens. Hell, you've had those every generation after the 1st. Of course you'll have bad Pokemon. After all, who remembers Huntail? Remoraid? Come on.

There's plenty of good gen 5 pokemon, which are, imo better than a lot of pokemon in the previous gens. The Homunculus Pokemon, the Chandelier Pokemon, the Gear Pokemon, and the Grass Afro Bull Pokemon, etc, there's so much good pokemon this generation, dunno why you guys pick out the bad ones and complain ~_~
