Is there a full list of the design trends in Pokemon somewhere?

Small cutesy mythical mew clone thing.

>>29283320
Every generation includes a normal Pokemon, and a Flying Pokemon. And a Ghost Pokemon. It's insane.

Trio Legendaries
3 stage early game bird
Fossil pokemon

Joke's on you, there's no trio in Gen 7, and no fossils in Gens 2 and 7.

>>29284402
Magnemite wold have been garbage if it were just a magnet. At least GF tried to build the inanimate object into the design of a more organic thing... as opposed to literally just making a living gear, a living icecream cone, and a living chanedlier....

Sludge and eggs are at least natural seeming.

>>29283595
I actually like this consistency, although later gen designs could be better. Also, ferrets/weasels and raccoons aren't Rodentia - that line should be regional small mammal.

>>29283320
Obvious, but pseudo-legendaries

2-stage normal type rodent and 3 stage normal/flying bird at the start of the game

This is a rarer one, but any Eeveelution always evovles using a mechanic that's new to that game

Umbreon/Espeon - new day/night mechanic
Glaceon/Leafeon - new location-based evolution mechanic
Sylveon - Pokémon amie

>>29284670
> Eggs with eyes
> Ice cream with eyes
What's the problem?

>>29284670
explain to me what's natural about eggs? literally my mom's groceries. might as well have a bacon pokemon to go with it

>>29284584
Thank fucking god, I always hated trio legendaries. Forced designs that are shit.

Three stage dragon-ish Pokémon you find late in the game or that are really rare, that evolve into their third stage at a high level

I say "dragon-ish" because most people include Tyranitar in this and it's not a dragon

So: Dragonair, Tyranitar, Salamence, Garchomp, Haxorus/Hydreigon, Goodra, and presumably Kommo-o

What's gen 7's pixie?

Cats, maybe? Every generation but 2 has had one, and they're almost always two-stage:

Gen 1: Meowth/Persian
Gen 2: none
Gen 3: Skitty/Delcatty
Gen 4: Glameow/Purugly, Shinx line
Gen 5: Purrloin/Liepard
Gen 6: Espurr/Meowstic, Litten/Pyroar
Gen 7: Alolan Meowth, I guess?

What about dogs. Growlithe/Arcanine in gen 1, Snubbull/Granbull and Houndoom/Houndour in 2, Poochyena/Mightyena in gen 3, Riolu and Lucario in 4, literally my mom's dog in gen 5, Furfrou in 6

>>29284670
>Sludge and eggs are at least natural seeming

I like all objectmons from all generations, no exceptions, but don't come to me with this bullshit about natural seeming eggs. Is like you're implying an egg and sludge based pokemon on later gens wouldn't literally be the same as they would in earlier gens, that being the object + eyes and mouth, and yet somehow gear and ice cream + eyes and mouth are not natural seeming.

I bet you could also say that bellsprout is at least natural seeming, while bounsweet is just a fruit with eyes. The fuck.

Eggs are at least a natural part of the world. They eggsist in that form (without the eyes/mouth) in nature... They're not made with intention, they're just made. Do you seriously not know what an egg is?

Plus there's some precedent to suggest that eggs could be considered living in that there is a living organism inside the egg, that in some animal groups can respond to the outside world by moving or adjusting hatching time.

>>29285284
Gears and icecream and chandliers are made by a sentient organism with the pre-meditated intention of fulfilling a purpose. They do not occur in nature. Sludge and eggs eggsist in nature without premeditated function.

I'm not complaining that the gear/icecream/chandelier has eyes. I just think it's out of place, because pokemon are supposed to be the non-human natural part of their world. In some instances it actually does work to some degree, like Chandelure - where a ghost possesses a chandelier - but how the fuck could an icecream cone or a gear ever be considered part of the living world?

.
You guys are just butthurt 15yr olds who feel like older players are hating on shitty new design concepts because they're not Charizard, when really it's because they're so far removed from nature they might as well be digimon - honestly why not just have a pokemon that's an actual mailbox, or an actual window, or an actual driveway?

>>29285284
And a sludge - based mon in later gens would not be the same thing as a sludge based mon in earlier gens. You can confirm this by looking at alola variant Grimer/Muk. I'm not saying I dislike those designs (because they reflect their concept well), but for the most part I dislike designs with tons of patterning, especially stylized patterning - like the image of flames on a fire pokemon, that's dumb (yes I hated Magmar and Electabuzz).

>proven wrong
>subjective material

But if you deny the idea that pokemon are supposed to be the non-human natural component of that universe (and thus that non-organic designs are out of place) just look at the concept of pokemon: based on the hobby of insect collecting, and Pokemon are given "species," a biological concept.

.
I am objectively correct that non-organic designs are out of place.

Stay mad.

Sneasel is literally only a few letters away from weasel.

Is Eevee a cat? No, its a little fox dog thing. Its not a cat. In the games, the pokemon that became the 3 legendary dogs were Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Flareon. Dogs.

Sneasel's dex entry says it climbs up trees to steal pidgey eggs, thats exactly what weasels do in real life.

And yes, I will agree that Eevees are foxes. But technically foxes are still canids.

Magnets and poke balls are made by a sentient organism with the pre-meditated intention of fulfilling a purpose. They do not occur in nature. You contradict yourself all over the place

>>29287658
Things cannot simultaneously be ubiquitous to a world and also out of place in that world. Inorganic things in Pokémon are very common, and so inorganic things in Pokemon cannot be out of place.

You clearly know nothing about design.

>rounded/smooth shape
>mostly neutral color palette
These are two of the strongest visual "naturifiers", for lack of a better noun. Obviously there are exceptions in nature, but, again the exceptions don't make the rule. And obviously there are exceptions in the pokemon world, too, like Rhydon. But both Rhino's and rocks have prominent edges as integral parts of their shape - so it works out.

Why are you all so mad?

Traits can be ubiquitous to the design of a designed world, but out of place in the context of the concept.

The concept of Pokemon is monsters that fit in your Pocket/on your person. Anything more is what you have tried to force it to be and not anything that has ever been stated.

>>29287847

>>29287177
Pokemon are based on yokai. They are even explicitly stated to be monsters.
Tsukumogami exist as a concept. Some pokemon like banette are in fact stated to be such.

wow this thread consisted of 2 retarded arguments that ended super anti-climactically

>>29283595
Gen 5 and 7 have best bugs

I always appreciated the theory that Pokemon are basically pure energy that congeal into shapes based on thought. Not at a whim, but like, before there was technology, all the people and animals were thinking about natural stuff, and those thoughts congealed some Poke-energy into living beings resembling those things. Then technology became more prevalent, and someone's thoughts about magnets congealed into Magnemite, and some kid's desire for ice cream made Vanillish, and some dude spent forever looking for his lost keys and made Klefki.

2 retards per thread is probably on the low side considering /vp/ autism

Cute but weak mon that only evolves once (buneary, skitty, eevee, teddiursa, minccino, swirlix...)

>>29288090
How do people NOT believe this. We know for a fact they were pokemon that died and were reincarnated. Why would they be anything else?

Sure it's never explicitly stated, but that would take the mystery out of the story.

Do you think the dead pokemon were another species? Or are you just against all unconfirmed theory making?

In generations their silhouettes look like the three beasts minus all their decorations i.e. the head crystal and streamers, etc.

I refer to them a legendary pixies. We seem to get one per gen with the same body structure. So far they're Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Victini, Hoopa, and pic related. Shaymin, Diancie, and Magearna don't seem to quite fit this body structure theme.

As much as I want to, they aren't as consistent a pattern as the other established archetypes.

I mean are we looking at the duos? Because only Gens 1 and 5 have those and the hitmons already broke it on Gen 2 with Hitmontop and Tyrogue.

The 3-stagers? Machamp and Conkeldurr have no peers unless you count the starters, which are a league of their own.

Gallade is an offshoot and has no counterpart.

The 2 stagers share no discernible pattern in terms of stats, areas/point of the game where they are found, etc.
