>>32236845
I disagree

>>32236845

I agree. Most of my favorites are from Gen 1. There are some nice designs in newer gens, but overall I dislike the more cartoony shapes that the designs have adopted.

>>32236845
I'm sorry, did you mean Gen 3?

This is true, but Gen 1 still has the highest number of good Pokémon and the lowest number of bad.

Great argument. I'm not talking about objectmon or simplistic shapes like Voltorb. I'm talking about the Pokemon having random jutting shapes or designs, like Blaziken's head, Gulpin's diamonds, and Gardevoir's spikes.

Gen 1 is the ONE.

>>32236931
Aesthetics or Battle wise?

>>32236990
It does. I'm not saying Gen 3 took it completely unrealistic, but it definitely started the trend of design elements popping up out of nowhere and miscellaneous shapes.

Oh please. The Gen 1 designs were, on the whole, far more well thought out than most that came after. There's a reason why they remain the most popular in the series, despite the core demographic being young enough to not have grown up with them.

Grimer and Muk are slime. Voltorb and Electrode are Pokeball mimics. I won't defend them as wonderful designs, but they have a structure to their design that warrants those things.

When I say amorphous, I mean shapes with no apparent rhyme or reason, like Meditite's head, Blaziken's "hair", lazy designs like Grumpig, and the Latis. Miscellaneous spikes or blobby shapes.

>>32237123

I almost feel like a few of Unova's designs are inspired by kanto pokemon, maybe even like a variation. That's good thing though, like how in the real world there are multiple species if animals. Even then it still has a lot of its own unique ideas. Eelektross is a good representation of this. Other then the starters, monkies, and the genies everything is pretty respectable.

>>32237273
>"People fucking love them" because they were first.

As I said before, they continue to be the most popular Pokemon in the series by far, despite kids growing up with Gens 3, 4, 5, and 6. Popularity and universal appeal is what gets them "shilled", not the other way around. But I don't expect contrarian autists to understand the first thing about marketing.

If they could appeal to more children with Makuhita, Simisear, and Goodra they would, but the fact is that the earlier designs were done in such a way that they will forever appeal to the fanbase more than most others they have created thus far.

>>32237359
>People say OoT and FF7 are some of the greatest games of all time even if they never played it

Except people who actually play those series tend to think whatever was the "big" game of their time is the best. There are people who think Wind Waker and Mario Sunshine are the best games in their respective series because they grew up with Gamecube. Not to get into a discussion about those games, but those are generally not the consensus opinions.

This is your problem. People who "blindly hate every new installment" aren't holding back the series at all, because they are not buying the games regardless. They are most certainly not posting on /vp/, so I don't know who you think you're arguing with.

People who appreciate when GF adds throwbacks to Generation 1 in the games are people who are actually buying and enjoying the games. They aren't some boogeyman holding the series back. They aren't 30-somethings on Facebook who remember the original series and haven't touched a games since. They are people who buy the games in such numbers that GF gives them what they want. These aren't people who are holding the series back. These are people who keep it going.

>>32237529
>then why do they blindly hate every new installment
Most don't, the ones who do hate the new Pokemon because they don't suit their taste anymore. I don't know why this is hard to understand.

I agree. In terms of designs Gen 1 is the strongest and the weakest is either gen 3 or 4.
This is an objective truth, not an opinion.

>>32236845

>>32236998
>I'm talking about the Pokemon having random jutting shapes or designs, like Blaziken's head, Gulpin's diamonds, and Gardevoir's spikes.
Or like Pikachu's cheeks/back/start of tail? Or the random gems in some mon's head like Persian or Golduck? Or Lickitung's entire design?

>>32237730

Pretty sure most people who still play and buy the games more and less like the Pokemon from all the generations than prefer only Gen. 1.

>>32236845
look at this nostalgic man

>>32237798

Gen 1 does have the best designs in the series. However, the gen with the worst designs goes to gen 2 followed by gen 7

>>32237890
Yeah, Voltorb was a great design for a Pokemon. A really different take on the mimic monster that, one that would only be possible in Pokemon. I'm not sure why it needed to be a 2 stage Pokemon though. That part can be fulfilled with just Voltorb.

>>32237312
I have bad news for you.

>>32237299
Pokemon would not be as big if it weren't for its success in the 90s. With the rep Nintendo has now as "that living room box next to my PS4/Xbox One" and children's unhealthy love of mature and gritty HD experiences, there's no way it would be that big if it first came out today.

Because of this success in the 90s, the franchise became as powerful as it is today. But with all those 90s players growing up with smartphones and getting tired of each new design, Game Freak decided to push Gen 1 aggressively again and focus less on new ideas to bring back the support of the 90s players, coupled with the easy to impress children of today, which clearly worked with shit like XY, Pokemon Go, and SM with its Alola forms.

Face it, Gen 1 designs' popularity is all determined by the massive nostalgia that is already there that Game Freak is heavily taking advantage of. My little brother's team in SM mirrors his team from XY, his first game, more than Gen 1. Gen 1's support is just coming from 90s players gassing up new players to get into it. Seriously, who cares about a simple blue turtle with blasters on its shell when you have the cool, cartoony Ninja Frog that's also in Smash Bros?

But since Gen 1's being pushed so much, it's only a matter of time before Game Freak makes new gens without new Pokemon and we become stuck with the same boring roster from the 90s, with occasional redesigns and with only a handful of the most overrated Pokemon from later gens forever.

Note: I still like Blastoise more than Greninja

>>32237942
>But with all those 90s players growing up with smartphones

Gen 4 and 5 share many of the same traits. Lots of great designs, But the bad ones just stick out. While I don't dislike them, I do understand it when people say that they hate Rhyperior, Magmortar and the like. And many times that just clouds their judgement of the entire dex like with Vanilluxe and Garbodor

>>32238031
oh dont get me wrong it had some of the best bromon to date.
drifblim, mismagius, spiritomb, crougunk, gliscor, new eeveeons, yanmega, froslass etc

There are some nice ones in Gen 5, but I'd have to agree overall.

Just going by general consensus in comparison to other gens... not particularly great starters, generally disliked "regional" mon (bird, rodent, etc.), failed Lucario 2.0, not a particularly cared for pseudo, weird legendaries, genies were widely disliked...

Emolga worked out pretty well as a Pika-clone. Some nice ones in there too like Scoliopede, Lilligant, Darmanitan, and Haxorus.

>>32240230
I think guess it has to do with preference but I will try my best to mention things that are subjective. The designs in gen 2 are more cartoon like, more rounded (physically), less sharp, more colorful and more child-like. When I say child-like I don't mean actual baby pokemon but the whole gen is like a kid-friendly version of gen 1. Compare Scyther and Pinsir with Heracross. If I ran into Scyther or Pinsir in a forest I would fear for my life. If I ran into a Heracross I would just want to wrestle him without fear that I would be decapitated. The same is true for a lot of other similar pokemon. Let's just look at the legendaries. Articuno might rescue you if you need help but if you were not in danger when it shows up you would soon be in danger. Same is true for Moltres. I think Zapdos would fuck people up for fun. The dogs just run away, people go after them. Nobody goes after a Zapdos. I think Mewtwo has canonically killed people. Lugia and Ho-Oh are mostly harmless. This can be applied across the roster. Yes there are exceptions. Tyranitar looks like it destroys towns for fun and Dragonite looks out of place any battle. On the whole I think gen 1 is more gritty, edgy (literally), and intimidating while gen 2 is more colorful, friendly, and playful.

That was my attempt at being objective. Subjectively I like all that stuff. Unfortunately those designs often lead to shitmons but any pokemon you can use in single player fulfills its need. Too many people judge a pokemon based on it's competitive prowess. I think gen 2 has the best cross gen evos. Yes I think the baby pokemon in gen 2 are mostly great. I can honestly say that the gen 2 starters are the only ones that I like all three and would be just as happy with any of them. None of the legends are forgettable like so many other gens.

TL:DR There are a few duds but the ratio of pokemon I want to use is just higher than any other gen.

So?

>>32239814
shit i wana play gen 1 rn

>>32236899
That comes down more to artstyle than designs, doesn't it?

>>32236944
You spelled "Sinnoh" wrong

>>32242836
That goes to both.
Something purely artstyle would be like, preferring the old watercolor illustrations from the original games.

>>32238015
Fuck no, Sinnoh is the region that started the overdesigned garbage meme and for good reason.

>>32243249
But it still has rad Pokémon in it, so your argument is invalid.

Daily reminder gen 1's designs were 3D chess levels of originality.

And this is where you destroy your whole argument yourself.
Voltorb has LESS DETAILS THAN THE OBJECT IT'S MIMICKING. Literally a double colored ball with two eyes. Not even the black line or the button.

DaS's chest is a chest....that when open reveals teeth made of fingers and a reeally lanky body and limbs, plus a giant tongue. It's not "just a chest".

I wish Pokemon would stop making all of these overdesigned garbage. Why can't they make Pokemon like they did in gen 1 and 2. They were much simpler and look a lot nicer.

Just posting my opinions here:

V>III>VII>IV>I>VI>II

What really draws me to a design is the concept behind it and how well it flows into the appearance and mannerisms of the Pokemon so Unova and Hoenn get top marks.

>>32245120
Because Gen 1 and 2 has shitty and boring designs with a few exceptions.

overall gen 1 does. better than sinnoh's and later gen's "let's put random shit on things and call it a design" phase that's still currently happening.
i mean, who looked at pic related asd said "oh yeah that's a yeti crab alright!"

>>32245246
Some of those are kind of basic, like Grimer and Voltorb, or weird like Mr. Mime and Jynx, but I don't see any particularly bad designs there.

Then there's the fact that people pull the same 10 or less Pokemon (>6% of the gen) out every time they want to argue about Gen 1's design quality... and again, they're not even that bad.

Even if I concede Voltorb and Mr. Mime, what's wrong with Magneton, Kingler, and Magmar, say? Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're bad designs.

>>32245983
What's wrong with -pokemon you don't like-? Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're bad designs.

>>32246057
I actually like some Pokemon that are poorly designed.

For example, I like Lucario. Not my favorite, but I do like him. Poorly designed, though. The spikes make no sense.

So as I said, what exactly is wrong with Pokemon like Magmar and Kingler?

>>32246057
>>32246075
Additionally, I don't like Mr. Mime. That doesn't mean I think he's badly designed. It would just be hard for me to like a clown Pokemon.

So go on. How is Kingler a bad design.

>>32239814
And this is why the last games I played were HG/SS. It's not even a matter of nostalgia--I don't want to support laziness or encourage it by buying mediocrity when I was around for the times when GF was putting forth greater effort than they are now.

Yes, Gens 1-3 had some poor designs, but not nearly as many as succeeding generations have.

Humanoid pokemon were a mistake.

just delete your comments, you autist

>>32246647

This ain't social media. You can't just start genwar threads and expect to get away with it.
The mods might not be here now, or tomorrow, or in a week, but they'll get you.

>>32246693
>comments are strictly a social media term

Please kys.

If this whole thread isn't proof that genwunners need to be gassed I don't know what is.

>>32246781
Genwunners don't post on /vp/.

>>32246778
Address the main point of genwars.

>>32246781
Not just genwunnners, all genwar inciters. From gen 1 to gen 6, false flag or not they should get banned for starting shit.
The only reason they keep doing it is because mods don't enforce the genwar rule and they think they can get away with anything.

>>32246801
>gen1 to gen6
Mistype, meant Gen7 of course, and however many more gens there are this number will go up.

>>32246791

Hahaha what a fucking joke that was.

>>32245128
The fanbase would be 10x better if people were like you.

>>32237033
This is a good example. Pokemon had it's own unique style early on, and it feels like it's diminished somewhat into a more standardized anime asthetic recently.

Don't get me wrong, it's anime no matter how you look at it, but the overall look recently feels more generic, or modern, in art style.
