Actually, when you think about it, that's a point in his favor. Grass is consistent in its designs, so, if you like grass-types, you'll always like the offerings in a new gen.

Compare to fire, which is running out of places to stick flames on new animals.

Not OP, and I'm not a big fan of tsareena's design, but it's definitely one of the more clever waifumons, for whatever that's worth. Mangosteens are sometimes called the "queen of fruit," and that's exactly what this thing is. Lurantis is cooler, though. Shame it's so shit.

My problem with Decidueye is that nothing about it's design really says "Ghost" to me. Like, yeah, I know it's based on an extinct owl or an owl that's called the ghost owl or whatever, but it's just missing something in it's design that other ghosts aren't. Like it's missing the whole spooky aspect. It's a shame, because I've wanted a Ghost starter for a long time.

Same with Oricorio, but I don't know if that counts unless we also start counting other things with Ghost forms like Silvally.

Poison has the most consistently good designs imo. I can't remember a Poison-type I dislike to be honest.

>>31343868
One theory I heard actually made me look at it a bit differently. I remember hearing it's suppose to resemble the flatwoods monster. In it's design it takes after it with the glowing red eyes and pointed head. Not only that but many theorize the account of the flatwoods monster was actually that of a owl. Made me appreciate the design more. I still think it could've used more ghost like qualities but I like the concept.

Oricorio is just not appealing to me, nothing about its design says ghost. I actually think its the best of the forms too, really a bland pokemon.

>>31343787
Electric type doesn't contain a lot of my absolutely favorites, but I really love the aesthetic of them in general. They always look so appropriately energetic.

It's based off of an extinct species of owl that sued to be found in Hawaii, hence the weird legs.

Oricorio represents the type of dance in Hawaii which is in honor to the dead there.

>>31343868
>My problem with Decidueye is that nothing about it's design really says "Ghost" to me
Agreed. I appreciate decidueye as a design, but as a grass/ghost type, I feel gourgeist, trevenant, and even dhelmise convey that better.

I'd even be fine if gamefreak just referenced decidueye's ghost typing in the website description like how owls are seen in Hawaiian culture. But the closest they've ever gone with that is spirit shackle and showing it with some spooky purple atmosphere. I wish they went more into Decidueye's background, because the ghost typing feels almost arbitrary right now.

Huh, never thought of it like that. If it's true, that's pretty cool I guess. I don't know if the hood is exaggerated enough to say for sure (it certainly wasn't enough for me to make the connection), but if is, yeah, I can appreciate that.

>>31343496
>Doesn't appreciate the thematic behind a blooming flower like literally a blooming one

>>31343868
You could argue that because Ghost is Decidueye's second typing, Ghost isn't necessarily a prime factor in its design. Plus being a starter, it has to focus a lot more on the Grass aspect more than a standard Pokemon.

This. Rowlet looks like gamefreak just decided to take an owl and slap some leaves on it(and maybe its beak is made of wood? I'm not sure). Even with its final evo, Decidueye looks like it just has a leaf tail and wears a leaf hoodie.

Also Alola had many good Grass types. Tsareena is not one of them but its pre-evo is. Thinking on running mono-grass next time.

I think it could've used more unique features like how poliwag to poliwhirl it loses the tail and grows arms.

The cannon motif seems overrated as fuck. While it was built around the Hydro Pump idea, Wartortle was simply a much more interesting concept and had zero indication it would mutate back bazookas. They should've been on a separate line.

Also with the existence of pic related the "tank turtle" concept isn't as cool as it used to be(unless your head is strapped with nostalgia goggles) as we now have more consistent/less shoehorned water designs that shoot projectile weaponry. Why the fuck is Blastoise more deserving on the list than a freaking submarine made of a school of fish? Water has allot of "consistent" designs, but Blastoise is diffidently not one of them.

Poiliwrath's only redeeming factors are it's typing and decent stats. Its a lazy design outside of that though.
>>31348569
Charmeleon is just a larger more menacing Charmander so few people set standards for what the final form could've builded up. And a "winged fire lizard" is guaranteed to be a popularity hit as it envokes the feel of fire-breathing dragons without being a dragon. I will admit though Ivysaur is the only Kanto middle stage that actually bridges the transitional gap their evolutionary lines.

Wartortle is based on Minogame, a turtle that can survive for about 10,000 years(the pokedex indicates this). It's tail not only resembles an oceanic wave, it's also based on the seaweed that the minogame's tail is made out of. I don't know if it's ears and tail are even fluff, I always assume they were made of foam if anything which seemed way cooler. Based on Wartortle's direction, it would be more logical to evolve into a Water/Psychic wiseman turtle than "ebin badass shell bazooka's baby!"
