a certain thread got me thinking

notable ugly pokemon (mostly evolutions) with sarcastic commentary:

charizard-a fire-breathing dragon. yeah how creative
blastoise-um what a turtle with cannons on its back? wow great.
pidgeot-why does it have so much hair
raticate-a rat with teeth so big it can't close its mouth cool...
arbok-purple cobra...wow
raichu-orange pikachu that's all
nidoqueen+nidoking-what an excuse to up the # of pokemon to 151
clefable-can't tell the difference between this and clefairy
wigglytuff-^
golbat-what the heck is this thing can't close its mouth
dugtrio-three of those dumbgos stuck together awesome
primeape-boxing monkey what the heck
poliwrath-boxing frog what the heck
machamp-...okay then
geodude-a rock with arms that defies gravity?
magneton-see dugtrio
dodrio-see magneton
muk-purple poop with eyes
hypno-how does a pokemon magically acquire a pendulum thing
electrode-pokeball
exeggutor-see dodrio
marowak-so the bone thing is just a mask and with the amount of pokemon professors in existence in the vast pokemon universe nobody bothered to take it off and see what was under
hitmonlee-stupid excuse to make a reference to a martial artist
hitmonchan-^
weezing-see exeggutor
kangaskhan-i don't udnerstand the baby in the pouch thing

ElJefe: The only reason people think Generation I and II pokemon look the best is because those are the ones they grew up with. Almost all pokemon are based on something that already exists and their names come from words/actions related to those somethings. This didn't change or get worse after Johto. Generation III turned off a lot of people because Johto and Kanto had many of the same pokemon while Hoenn brought on all new faces, only leaving a few of the original cast in order. Yeah. -puts on cool shades and walks away-


Yes, newer is often (99% of the time) better. (Later generations are better)

NeosFinale: 1st and 2nd gen were the best, in actual design and puns within the names.

Hmm... I guess the whole idea of some pokemon being badly designed is just subjective- it's what you think looks good or not/works well.

Many of the things about 1st Gen Pokemon that you've pointed out are simply unrealistic-e.g. geodude's invisible legs, but the whole idea of pokemon is unrealistic anyway- e.g. Storing large organisms in tiny capsules, pokemon having their own water supply for whenevr they wanna use hydro pump, etc.

And as for some pokemon not being able to close their mouths, that's probably because you're used to seeing them in game (?). They would have closed them in the anime. That's like looking at the Mona Lisa and saying "Haha! She can't blink!"

This is dumb. first generation Pokemon were the best. Now that the fourth generation came out, they don't even have that many animals to make sense of what theyre coming up with now.

The first gen were obviously the best
@the charizard observation, did you expect them to have a fire breathing fish? It's not original because it's logical.
and how can you not get the Kangaskhan? Kanga, as in Kangaroos, which are marsupials.
