I asked my normie best friend, who has never played a game and

Neat
All of those mons except for the koala is cute

>>27938947
My tastes overlap with the left side.

The thing that amazed me the most is that she expressly said that she these Pokemon look cuter than the old ones and was almost convinced to play until I said they are now ~800

>>27938947
Actually pretty good. The only thing that bothers me is Rowlet. Why does everyone like it so much? It's not really cute imo

I am all for having as many mons as possible, but truth to be told having almost 1000 of them turns newfag off

>>27939015
The more round something is, the more cuter it is. Rowlet is a literal circle

>there are too many pokemon for old/new players meme

It is not that hard to see a mon and learns its name. You are not required to learn the name of every monster to enjoy Pokemon.

How is this a problem unless you're a completionist?

Gumshoos is relatively unremarkable among the new designs, but I can understand the appeal from someone only really familiar with Gen 1 since it doesn't depart too far from the cartoon animal design philosophy.

Besides the starters, it's the only one to become a meme so far.

>>27938947
Pretty solid imo. Although having two normal types could go for better.

>>27939692
You can thank /pol/ for that. Forced as hell either way.

>>27938947
On a similar note I've been showing my girlfriend who likes Pokemon Go but has never been interested in the main games most of the new stuff as its been coming out and she's been into it. Stufful, Vulpix and Popplio particularly.

Normalfags, they never learn.
