How do we fix the new pokemon so normies will accept them when they appear in PokemonGo?

Will artistic redesigns to make them more Gen1-like be enough?

Or should we start completely retconing certain pokemon and replace them with supperior gen1-like designs?

You know, I always felt the point of said image it to point out how stupid it is to say an entire generation is bad based on a handful of ones you don't like.

Also, I wanna point out something

>I dislike trubbish for being just a bag of trash
>Well geodude is just a rock with arms

I don't believe the implication is that geodude is bad, but rather there's nothing wrong with simplistic inspirations for Pokemon.

I think this image sums up the gen wars perfectly. There will never be any consensus or understandings forges because people will keep mismatching designs.

Could've chosen Emboar, Haxorus, or Hydregion for a good comparison. Instead we strawman the shit out of thrubbish like grimer doesnt exist.

Why do people bring up trubbish and vanillite to show that gen 5 has the worst designs?

Pokemon has always had goofy bases for pokemon and the infallible gen 1 is the worst offender of this

I hate like half of gen 5 but object based pokemon aren't the issue. The copypaste monkeys and genies, god awful musketeers and abundance of lazy designs are what you should talk about
>>
>>
Should've replaced the Trubbish line with a trash can mon tbqh famalams. Could have got a unique typing too, on top of the design not looking as messy as Garbodor.
>>
>>27339034
But you see the difference here is they didn't grow up with trubbish

>use softer/less contrasting colors for the design
>if the design is for an animal, at least try to depict some feathers or fur that isn't overly simplified
>don't clutter up the design with stuff that just don't make any sense like random stripes

look at >>27338413 even when an anon is supposed to specifically choose 'bad designs' basically all of them follow a very specific design frame.

When it's simple, it's simple all the way. Voltorb into Electrode. Grimer into Muk. Magnemite into Magneton. When they are supposed to be animals, they look like animals. Magikarp just has scales and fins. Doduo explicitly has feathers and bird-like claws.

The ones that stand out as the most off-ish as Jynx, Magmar, and Mr. Mime and that's mainly because they're human-like and that separates them from the rest of the pokemon.

Compare all the birds in gen 1 or gen 2 with the Pidove line. No real attempt at making the feathers stick out beyond a very basic shape. Solid blocks of colors. Even the shading is barely there.

There is nothing wrong with liking the new designs. But you can't say people are wrong for saying that the designs have greatly deviated from what they originally were in the earlier gens.
>>
>>27338405
You literally cannot. Retards will be retarded even if your present them with art. Any new pokemon will never be as good as the originals or will "look like digimon" to these people. They aren't worth pandering to. Not all normies are like that obviously

Yep, the designs were bad and no one actually likes them. It was nostalgia, even back when Pokemon just came out.
>>
>>27339218
I've seen Yokai Watch threads here last days, at least ones that paint it in a positive light.
>>
>>27338977
Very cute. Garbodor sucks though.
>>
>>27339225
there were less pokemon to compare them to. And even a few shit designs wouldn't have soured the whole bunch because there were over a hundred pokemon and the average joe only saw about 20 of them ever if that.
>>
>>27339225

I don't think they were garbage, really, but a lot of things people smack newer designs for were started back then.

The garbage design argument can go with both ways, and shitposters love that.

Or this. I can get behind a bit of abstraction, but what the hell is this design aesthetic?

If I didn't know it was the god of the pokemon universe, I'd think it's some kind of beyblade horse.

I don't agree with you here, though. It's supposed to look alien, which it does. I'd much prefer Arceus being a weird alien deer than another pixie thing.

Okay shithead!

First of all the best of the Yokai is better than the worst of Pokemon.

Second it's hardly even comparable since they are two entirely different design concepts. Hardly any of either series would fit in the other.

Finally Yokai actually one ups Pokemon in one place. Coherence! While generally somewhat uglier designs they all look like they belong in the same series. Pokemon's designs vary much more making some feel out of place.
