Which gen had the worst designs?

>>27331200
X/Y

Definitely Gen3

>>27331200
Probably gen and also don't forget /vp/ rule 4

>>27331200
Sun/Moon

Bunch of overdesigned shits from what we have seen so far. Followed by X/Y. Other than starters B/W had great designs mostly.

BW was the only gen along DPt that didn't bore me to death after 100h.

Gee I dunno

Gen III and from the looks of it Gen VII

>>27331200
Gen VII the epitome of laziness and good concepts wasted in shitty designs

In Gen 5 there are more than enough new Pokemon to make a team of 6 you really like, even if half the dex is junk.

Gen 2 is hard to make a team of 6 brand new Pokemon you like, particularly if you exclude new evolutions of Gen 1 Pokemon. Gen 4 is also difficult to ignore new evolutions.

I'd pick Gen 2 as my most disliked but that's only because it has my personal least amount of favourites

No Gen has bad designs, but if I have to pick it's gonna be Gen 2. Not because of any bad designs, but because it was full of single stages and babies.

Gen 6.

Because 80% of them are hideous and Megas where a mistake.

Interesting, I don't think you know what these words mean anon.

>>27332311
Oh I'm quite sure I do anon.
A cool panda and lucha bird don't make up for everything else.

Gen 7 is shaping up to be by far the worst. It definitely has the worst starters.

Gen 1 or 4. 1 Because those designs are so obviously out of place compared to any other gen and it bugs the shit out of me, and 4 because it has some of the worst originals as well as extremely tryhard evo's for older Pokemon

>>27331200
Gen 1 BY FAR. Sure, the starters are great and Pikachu, Mew, Ninetales and Arcanine are GOAT, but with shit like Magneton, Voltorb, Electrode, Grimer, Muk, Diglett, Dugtrio, Krabby, Mr. Mime, Jynx and so on, it simply cannot be rated as anything but the objectively worst generation in the franchise. Gen 5 had like 10 objectively bad designs, but Gen 1 has 20+.

>>27332394
>objectivity
Anon please. You're an adult.

Gen I

>>27332418
Eh, they are the worst designs of the whole series to be honest.
I mean, Magnemite is just an ball bearing with magnets and a screw attached that evolves into the same thing multiplied by 3.

Voltorb was a failed attempt at a mimic that didn't grasp the central concept of a mimic which is mimicking and Electrode was just a bigger version

Grimer was just a slime, that's it and Muk was the bigger version.

Diglett was supposed to be a mole of some sort but looks like some kind of odd dildo and it's evolution isn't so much an evolution as it is three of them sticking together which unlike Magnemite doesn't even have the Magnetic field excuse.

Krabby and Kingler are just boiled crabs that survived.

>>27331200

1, 3, and 5 had the weakest designs. 3 had the most that irked me.

>>27331200
They all have their own flaws to make them arguably bad imo. Gen 1 had mostly simple designs. Gen 2 and 4 were lacking in numbers so each bad one stuck out like a sore thumb. Gen 3 was water types. Gen 5 only consists of Garbador, Vanillux, and the starters so it is shit in the minds of genwunners. Gen 6 lacked anything memorable.

Not that guy but the 3D model literally redeemed Archeops you dumb Unovabortion cunt.

Gen 5 by far. The legendaries are especially bad, they all look like they have cerebral palsy or some other muscular handicap. The starters where also absolute shit.

The only good looking pokemons in gen 5 are:
>Scolipede
>Krokodile
>Carracosta
>Archeops
>Reuniclus
>Electross
>Chandelure
>Haxorus
>Volcarona

That's it, 9 pokemon out of 150 look good. Worst gen by far, followed by gens 2 unremarkable designs.

The best is Gen 4, fantastic starters and legendaries (the box trio is kinda iffy though, not great or terrible just odd). The only bad designs in this gen are:
>Kriketune
>Shellos
>Gastrodon
>Tangrowth
>Rhyperior

>>27333363
>>random lines
>>odd proportions
This isn't at all a particular problem withe the crossgen evos anymore than it is with later Pokemon in general.
>>going away from the design aspects of the originals
I mean, I guess certain ones like Magnezone and Honchkrow changed a lot either visually or thematically but honestly to me they look a lot better. As far as I'm concerned the only potentially shitty Sinnoh crossgen evo was Rhyperior. The others range from good to GOAT and are a step above the majority of Pokemon designs.

There's not a single pokemon in gen 6 I even come close to liking. Most of them actually hurt to look at. 4 is probably second worst. I think 3 is the best.

Every gen had their fair share of good designs, but gen 6 probably had the least (and not just because there were so few pokes).

These are the only designs I can consider good from gen 6 (not counting their prevos). And even then, I'm really grasping at straws because shit like Aegislash are just "acceptable" at best.

>>27333463
>This isn't at all a particular problem withe the crossgen evos anymore than it is with later Pokemon in general.

Not really, If you compare gen 3, 4 and 5 Pokemon you can really tell that they really went overboard with the lines and such to the point where the designs became too busy or cluttered. For example Electivire, Lickilicky, Magmortar and Rhyperior. Some just made no sense like Ambipom where the hands lose dexterity upon evolution.
I think the only design as of the last two gens that has excessive zig zags is Sigiliyph and even then it plays into the design.

>>27333606
I don't know man, to each to their own, I find any Pokemon game besides X/Y to be enjoyable.

>>27333571
I know right?
How someone could like the majority of Gen 4 designs while hating the majority of Gen 5 quite frankly disgusts me.

I don't even particularly like Lickilicky but this is literally the opposite of "busy" or "cluttered", even with the lines. I don't really see how any of those guys are cluttered, they've all got simple patterns and morphology. Rhyperior maybe, but I've already said he's kind of shitty. The art for Ambipom is kind of shitty but the gen 6 models give a much better idea of what they were going for with his tail hands since it actually looks like it can grab stuff now. Overall it's a straight upgrade from Aipom.

In all objective honesty, Gen 5 had a decent set of mons. Did it have the weirdest and dumbest looking Pokemon in the series? Sure, I can admit that. But as far as I see it the good stuff way outweighs the bad shit. Said bad shit is just so noticeable kids can't help but associate the majority of the dex with those few bad eggs.

Yes.

6<5<1<4<2<3

6 had shit fairy designs and some megas were awful. Also having more fairies after 1 gen than ghosts after 6 gens is simply dissapointing. the only good thing is that there are only 70 of them.

5 was just plain bad, but didn't shit on older mons, denying them a real evolution nor had pink fluffy balls for pkm as 6 did. The first gen I haven't played, because of the designs

In addition I don't like any ghost type pkm from the last two gens, inanimate objects do not make good ghost pkm

1 was great (as the last three), but had some really bad designs, especially making the evolution only bigger or adding multiple heads, therefore only no. 4 on my list

4 was kinda nostalgic, I liked most evolutions and the original pkm were fine as well, a few were terrible though.

2 introduced 2 new types, evolutions for the 1. gen and their designs are among the best I've seen

3 is the best of them imo, so many good pkm designs, even without a nostalgia effect. Really don't know why it's hated by the majority of people

If I had to to gen 7 somewhere in there, I'm guessing it'd be no. 2 or 3, depending on the other pkm, but so far it looks great!

>>27332353
gen 7 looks awesome, except for the starters, but we don't know their evolutions yet

>>27332692
ice cream sucks as a pkm design, because it's fucking ice cream. the garbage thing has an awful face imo, so I dislike it. Also a ripped trash bag isn't helping it either.

>inanimate objects do not make good ghost Pokemon
How the fuck do you think not? It's a common act for ghosts to manipulate and possess mundane objects.

>>27332771
I don't understand the hate for grimer/muk whatsoever.

>>27334719
Well that's just you. I can name dozens of Gen V Pokemon I like solely based on design/concept.
And you just have shit taste in general

Gen 1 and I've been to the GB era, just so you know

When you have a pokedex of over 151 no shit your going to nitpick a lot of designs

But Gen 1 has nostalgia glass

It's fine as a concept for one (or even a few) pkm, like rotom, they shouldn't make every piece of furniture a fucking ghost though

The thing about Pokemon designs to me is that as the generations go, they've tweeked and improved on the general style of the Pokemon themselves.

I can't help but feel that the 'worst designs' would honestly be the Gen I Pokemon, but this doesn't mean that the designs are bad at all. The only problem is that they're a product of the technology capabilities of the time. They're memorable because they are the first and original Pokemon.

As technology has advanced, we've been able to have Pokemon that are more complex and varied. The artists themselves have had time to practice and mess around with the design possibilities. You can easily see this as the generations go.

From Gen I's take on giving many Pokemon more of a 'realistic' feel and old '90's anime style', to Gen VII's cartoony and stylistic interpretation. It's clear the artists have had more and more fun with the designs.

I can only say that designs have improved since Gen I. Granted, style is rather subjective, so it varies from person to person. I doubt I'll ever really understand how people can dislike ___ Gen designs fully. I'll never understand the mentality for that.

So to me, Gen I is on the lower scale of Pokemon designs due to tech and the series itself testing the waters. There are many great Pokemon designs in Gen I still, but it does kind of suffer from the newer possibilities.

>Gen 1
Suffers from a lot of repetition. Lines such as Poliwag, Diglett, Doduo, Magnemite and Voltorb have very simplistic evolutions with little to no change in appearance and aesthetic but this in no means makes them bad designs except possibly Poliwrath and Magneton.

>Gen 2
It continues the simplicity of design introduced from Gen 1 as well as expands some evolutionary lines from gen 1. A number of great designs. Not a single overall bad design in my opinion.

>Gen 3
Pokemon ditches simplicity and begins getting detailed and eye catching. No pokemon is offensively bad except possibly Blaziken who I feel has a good design but there are an incredible number of forgettable pokemon.

>Gen 4
Flashy and cool remains the look but now there are some questionable designs thrown in such as Drapion and Kricketune. The abundance of expanded evolutionary lines is a real hit and miss. Weavile, Roserade, Porygon Z, and Porbopass (fight me) are the better of them. Worst offenders are Rhypherior, Lickilicky and Ambipom. The main legendaries and Arceus are incredibly overdesigned compared to previous ones but it fits them. The Lake Trio however look incredibly boring and samey.

>Gen 5
They got pretty bold with the patterns and flashiness and even decided to emulate Gen 1 pokemon. The starters are regal and proud looking but Emboar is all over the place. Samurott gets a lot of slack but I like his design. The Elemental Monkey evos, the Klink line, and the Cubchoo line are just bad and mons like Alomomola are incredibly forgetable. The legendaries look very out of place except vanilla Kyurem and the genies are just awful. Keldeo is probably the ugliest shit in all regions and Cobalion is the only garbage musketeer. Everything else is fine.

>Gen 6
Very small and rather unimpressive save for some gems. Worst starter designs and 3D models did not help. Diggersby, Aromatisse, the Pyroar line and Goodra are just awful. The legendaries aren't bad but Hoopa is literally who.

gen 1 by far
