Seriously tho why are these all so terrible?
>>28233508
I bet you like gen 7 pokemon though right faggot?
>>28233508
They all have a cohesive color scheme...
I don't know how to explain it, does anyone else know what I'm thinking about?
>>28233508
I legitimately like most of them and only figured out people didn't upon coming to /vp/z
>>28233508
I thought most of them were decent to good.
>>28233508
>trying to start a gen war
Oh op.
>>28233546
I get what you're talking about. I think its because in this gen they used namely black outlines more than previous gens did, along with the designs just being somewhat different compared to gen 4
>>28233546
They don't look like Pokemon to me, like something's just different about them I can't put my finger on.
Every GenV design is good aside from Tepig evos desu.
Yeah the bold outlines really ruin 5th gen designs, which are mostly shit to begin with.
>>28233601
A lot of them look like they were made in ms paint, and have more cartoonish anatomy than Pokemon usually do.
>>28233678
>cartoonish
Again have you seen gen 7
About 1/4 of 2/5 of them are good. Sadly most are shit, Genesect is lame, and the Muskateers/Robin Williams/Tao are shit trios. Still better than gen 4 though.
If only there could be balance between gen 1/gen 3/gen 5/gen 7 so things are better than bland but have a nice balance of cartoony/realistic proportions.
>>28233678
Welcome to gen 2
>>28233508
Only thing I'm not a fan of is the monkeys.
>>28233559
>whimsicott merely OK
Fug (u)
>>28233710
As someone who hates Blitzle, this is pretty good. However, I think it feels a bit too mean and mature for a first stage.
>>28233559
>garbador=good
if they fixed its face and just made its arms symmetrical it wouldn't be so bad. The concept itself is eh, but it could've been potentially better.
Another one is the ice cream should have just been a two stage with the second being double scoop. All them wasted slots.
>>28233765
its just got a case of the Angry Eyes™
>>28233508
The "we're rebooting Gen 1" thing I get, -although I don't necessarily LIKE it- but so, so many Gen V Pokemon are just redundant.
Gen 5 would've been better if they didn't have so many Pokemon -some even in the same generation- all trying to fill the same niche. Seriously, how many Trick Room Psychics do we really need? Not to mention they didn't even try to IMPROVE on the old mons. They replaced Hypno, an objective shitmon, with Musharna, which is also objectively a shitmon.
And poor, poor Zoroark. Hyped up in its own movie, then introduced in the gen where Team Preview was introduced, and not given enough defenses to even survive a stiff breeze. Every time its Illusion wears off, it's because it's been fucking knocked out. It's such a waste.
Because you have bad taste.
It gave me the Minccino line, I could care less about the quality good or bad of the rest of it.
>>28233508
because you collaged together an ugly ass picture using low resolution pixel sprites instead of using the actual artwork like a normal person
>>28233508
At least it's not gen 4.
>>28233508
>>28234227
Nope, sorry. Gen V is by far the worst generation and Im not even trying to bait.
>>28234227
Gen 4 had good starters and a good regional bird, a good psuedo, and a smash hit pokemon in Lucario.
What did the Unova dex give us?
>>28233559
>Loving Scolipede and Scrafty, and liking Emolga
Good man.
>>28234291
>Lucario
Awful.
>>28234300
Awful would be the failed second attempt that was Zoroark.
>>28234260
>>28233546
>>28233597
>>28233601
I'd say the problem are these sprites.
Gen V sprites are fucking terrible.
I think the gen just has more of a gap between the good ones & the bad ones than other gens do. They range from super good like Darmanitan & Gigalith & all of the bugs etc to nuclear terrible like most of the legendaries & shit.
>>28234314
They put too much effort on the animations.
>>28234318
No Gen 5 legendary is as shit as Palkia.
>>28233678
You just described Gen 2.
>>28234338
I prefer Palkia to these dragons & horse-things tbqh
>>28234352
Well your preference is wrong, Palkia is literally my moms dick shaped groudon.
>>28233559
I would have put the tao dragons in OK and Pirouette Meloetta in good, but other than that it's a pretty good list.

I love all of them, gen 5 is my 3rd favorite gen with so many pokemons i love, remember people, while more quantity may not necessarily give more quality, neither will less quantity (see gen6 for reference).
There's seriously not a single memorable get 5 Pokemon, it's like it never happened.
>>28234503
I bet you're one of those fags who shit on Vanilluxe and Garbodor because 9GAG pointed out they are based on commonplace stuff.
>>28234547
Don't be mad at shit sites for gamefreak's mistakes.
>>28234547
>28234547
No I shit on them because they are shit.

kys, best designs in the entire series
>>28234617
Yep. As if I'm reading them out of a Dorkly script.
There's only a handful of Gen V designs I actually like, and even then...none of them are favourites. I don't know what it is, but there's definitely a difference in design philosophy or something.
The Gen VII dex is going the same way, sadly.
>>28234424
Making a list of shitmons doesn't really help your point, dude.
>>28234291
But Infernape is one of the worst designs in the franchise
Why would you ever like titsmonkey?
>>28233559
Besides crossing out the best mascot duo and Hydreigon merely being OK compared to its prevos, this is pretty good taste. Much better than "hurr I hate 90% of Gen 5"
>>28233508
Gen 5 hate is a meme at this point. No one should take it seriously.
>>28237091
>shitmons
ah, who could ever forget the memorable Gen 1 mons, like Muk, Voltorb, Jynx, Mr Mime, Magnemite, Exeggcute.
get over yourself faggot, Gen 5 had some of the best designs, all the Pokemon in the post you replied to are top tier
>>28233508
>Gen 2 Pokemon sucks!
No it doesnt. See: Tyranitar, Scizor, Steelix, Ampharos, Typhlosion, Crobat
Anon: Okay you're right, Gen 2 does have some cool Pokemon
>Gen 4 Pokemon sucks!
No it doesn't. See: Torterra, Staraptor, Gallarde, Gliscor, Luxray, Garchomp
Anon: Okay you're right, Gen 4 does have some cool Pokemon
>Gen 5 Pokemon sucks!
No it doesn't. See: Hydreigon, Volcarona, Braviary, Golurk, Galvantula, Chandelure
Anon: Lol no Gen 5 has no good Pokemon you idiot.
Tell me this isn't accurate. Why is Gen 5 so over the place with opinions.
>>28237284
The only decent ones on your list are Volcarona, Galvantula and Chandelure.
Also,
>implying like 4 good evo lines redeems any gen
>>28237334
Then what's wrong with Hydreigon, Golurk, and Braviary? How come they can't be agreed upon to be cool or aesthetically pleasing?
Also
>implying I only think 4 good evo lines redeems any Gen
They're just minor examples senpai. You want me to list every Pokemon I like from every Gen? No ones got time for that.
>>28233601
too many object and humanoid pokemon
too many bug, fighting and ghost types
not enough classic elemental types (fire, electric and water most notably)
>>28234552
You were a mistake.
To me Gen 5 has the best and the worst Pokemon in the entire franchise.
Sigilyph, Yamask, Eelektross-line, Axew-line, Chandelure and Venipede-line are some of my all time favorites.
Snivy-line is one of the best looking starters IMO, but the other two are disappointing.
And then there atrocities like the genies, the ice cream (the trashbag is decent IMO), Patrat, the boring-ass monkeys, Klang, the golems, the polar bear, and generally extremely underwhelming legendaries.
Far too many pokemon in gen V look like they belong in some shitty Chinese bootleg.
>>28233508
Actualy they are pretty decent. Few ones are horrible.
Its only you close u saudosits nostagic eyes, you can enjou thing that are nice but you recjet it because autism.
I just started a Black game and I'm honestly struggling to find pokemon to useaside from the Seismatoad line, but I used him last time so I'm avoiding it this save
but seriously, fuck the early game pokemon in this gen
>>28233508
>Baiting this hard
>>28237725
>>28237994
Samurott may be disappointing in your eyes for not being furbait, but that nigga saved Oshawott for me. It looks like a scraped design of a pseudo legendary.
>>28237284
>Garchomp
>good design
More like 'worst design in the franchise'
Gible is cute though
Fu chandelure a best
>>28233601
As far as I'm aware, this is when designs really started to come from a lot of artists. The earlier gens had very few artists/designers, so they all felt a little more cohesive (if a little too similar, aka Gen I kaiju monsters). I'm pretty sure this is why they originally didn't have a very strong "Pokemon feel," though as time goes on I'm reteaching myself what designs look Pokemon-ish.
>>28234291
>Gen 4 starters
>Garchomp
>Lucario
>good
the region was shit, too.
>>28237583
>too many bug
NOPE
NEVER ENOUGH BUGS
>>28233508
I never understood why most people hate gen 5 mons, i like almost all of them
>>28233508
>all
Fuck off, there are a good number of great Generation V designs like Mienfoo's line or Joltik's.
The real problem is that they all take five gorillian years to evolve.
>>28239615
because /vp/ is the most contrarian place
>>28233508
Only problem is the shit tier legendary pokemon, the rest is better than gen 4
>>28239663
>contrarian
gen 5 is hated everywhere but on /vp/, where it is regarded as best gen, so it's actually contrarian the other way around/vp/ has good taste for once
>>28239736as someone who likes gen 5, I'm glad I've found others who like gen 5
>>28233780
I like Pokemon with asymmetrical designs, and for a Pokemon that's literally a pile of garbage I think it works.
>>28237725
>the golems
Are you seriously shitting on golurk?
>>28233508
i love all of these save for the element monkeys and creepy goth dress thing
>>28233508
Fuck off to 2013 faggot, we are hating on gen 6 now, we no longer bash gen 5.
>>28233559
Keldeo came out before mlp stop hating on him.
>>28233853
This!
>>28233853
Fucking this
Wtf happened to the design?
>>28239910
Meant to post this
>>28239865
I don't hate Keldeo because of mlp, I hate him because his design is intensely unappealing.
>Awful
Serperior
Samurott
Cofagrigus
Whimsicott
Lilligant
Bisharp
Hydreigon
Galvantula
Scolipede
Meinshao
Reuniclus
Haxorus
Chandelure
Carracosta
Archeops
Volcarona
Golurk
All these lines are good. Hell, I'll even toss in a few that I like; Druddigon, Zoroark, Scrafty, Ferrothorn, Heatmor
Gen V had quite a few really likeable designs under its belt.
>>28239865
MLP has existed for decades.
>>28239926
Honestly most pre-evos have shit design. They always feel incomplete, which I think is the point. Dragonair not included.
What the fuck is Durant doing..oh
>>28239943
I don't know man then why isn't Ponyta getting all the hate?
>>28233508
Fuck your opinion
>>28240050
Theyre really abstract now.
>>28240066
Because Ponyta's design is bland and inoffensive.
>>28233559
fixed your shit
fuck, didn't save my individual ones by gen
have all gens then, can't be assed to crop it
>>28240272
This doesn't look fixed at all.
Reason 5 gen pokemon are bad is because gamefreak wasted their time on the best pokemon story line and didn't put any effort into 5th gen pokemon at least it still better than 1st and 2nd gen pokemon, but not by much.
