Subjective has officially become my most hated word of the year because it's a buzzword utilized to run away from the fact that there is such a thing as objectivity.

Really, I think it just depends. There are a shit ton of Pokemon now, and different people are gonna like different things. It's like animals in real life; there's a zillion of them, but someone out there is gonna like at least one, and there's at least one for everyone.

Unless you just don't like animals in general in which case what the fuck is wrong with you

Food analogies have been overused to the point of meaningless. No restaurant servers poop ever, and no human being would willingly serve it to even their dog. No human, intelligent or autistic would ever say the "Well my dog likes it!" Not only that, you're assuming above people don't have the same favorite pokemon as you do, so how do you even know they have shit taste, when you probably have lucario fursuit stored right in your closet.

I think someanons confuse "I think it's ugly" with poorly designed. A Pokemon no matter how aesthetically (dis)pleasing it may seem has a good design if it functions as its creator intended and if it does a decent job at showcasing those concepts to the viewer, either appearance or lorewise.
For instance, I guess you could say that Diglett is poorly designed because it seems to fail at showcasing its core function (digging) because it appears to lack visible claws or a body which allows to easy movement through the soil, but it's not generally considered ugly (I mean "I" like it). And yes, I'm aware that Diglett is based on a whack-a-mole, which it does a good job at. I just needed an example. Things are almost never that plain and simple, though, because there are so many variables and other shit to think about like "Is the Pokemon creator's intent always known or made clear?" or "Do kids really give a shit?" Garbodor suffers from this because some people say they hate its "design" when they really mean to say it's ugly, which I agree that it is. I hate it, but its creator wanted to create a goofy garbage monster, and that's what Garbodor is. Also, there's a big difference between drawing an intentionally ugly thing and a thing being ugly because its artist is shit. All Pokemon are the former. Think about that for a moment.

Subjectivity's a vague point.

It's easier to write it off to selective enforcement and accusing the critic of being inconsistent, like pointing out blind spots of their childhood nostalgia or asserting their issue is based how the franchise betrays their idea of what the franchise should be more than what was intended by GameFreak themselves.

No I don't you cretin, opinions are genuinely incapable of being objective. The definition of objective is "not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts."
>>
There is no such thing as a "bad design", because taste is subjective, but there can be designs that miss the mark, by either failing to embody what the creator intended to get across, or by failing to appeal to the intended market. That doesn't make them bad designs, and it doesn't mean someone who likes them has bad taste, but it can be indicative of a negative trend.

Taste is personal and subjective, it will never work nor make sense to tell someone to stop liking something because they have "bad taste". But you're fully capable of complaining that something is "badly designed", so long as you clarify that to mean "bad at doing what the design was intended to do", and not "bad to enjoy".

Taste is not "subjective" but it does vary widely and there is no such thing as a universal standard of taste

Designs skills at least. The worst designer of the franchise is good at drawing after all.

>Like, if an artist has little knowledge of art, his work will be objectively poor quality.
..no? You don't need knowledge of art. That helps but there's no direct correlation. With that logic anyone who finishes art school is a good artist b default.
>>
>>32533072
What's objectively bad about Honedge? It's very clever, the whole "lines of the sword make the face in the sheath" is a very clever idea, executed simply so that anyone can understand it. I'd say it hits all the marks it needs to, what's wrong with it?
>>
>>32533072
Those are objective metrics, but they aren't related to taste. I can enjoy something while acknowledging that it's poorly designed. If someone makes coffee and leaves the grounds in it, they've done an objectively bad job of making normal coffee, but I know people who prefer their coffee that way.

>>32533054
I am, actually, but one perhaps a bit more open-minded than you.

Designs do have objective qualities, but those are all contextual. A design or piece of art can be bad in the context of "bad at following these rules of design", but it can be enjoyable all the same.

There's a fair bit of correlation between stuff that's been designed well, and stuff that people enjoy, but it's not absolute, and people's tastes still aren't influenced by objectivity.
>>
>>32533099
It was an example. Obviously knowledge is only one factor of being good, but that was just the one I used in that situation. I could've said the artist had mental retardation or very little practice or any number of things. Don't overthink it when there's no need to.
>>
>>32533100
>What's objectively bad about Honedge?
It's supposed to be a pokemon and pokemon are beings yet we only know it is a being because we are informed the eye thing is an eye. If you showed to anyone without telling him/her its a pokemon he/she will think its just a fancy sword.

> It's very clever, the whole "lines of the sword make the face in the sheath" is a very clever idea
It isn't. As the sheath is not the main body, its just a sheath. Faces are usually on the body anon.

The idea of a sword pokemon was awesome and its wasted on such shit.

>>32533111
>Those are objective metrics, but they aren't related to taste.
"bad design" means "the design is bad" not "you don't like the design". Taste is subjective. Quality isn't.

>I can enjoy something while acknowledging that it's poorly designed. If someone makes coffee and leaves the grounds in it, they've done an objectively bad job of making normal coffee, but I know people who prefer their coffee that way.
As you describe here.

It's still a being, it's just possessed a sword.

>It's a ghost.
And? That doesn't excuse shit.

>It's still a being, it's just possessed a sword.
Because you're told it is. You don't read that from the design. You just know it is because it's a pokemon.
>>
>>32533135
It's an eye on the hilt and its tassel (seen on swords like a 'jian') is a ghost hand.

Doublade is less of it evolving/splitting into two swords and more of it gaining a second hand and another eye.
>>
>>32533180
>It's an eye on the hilt
That you know its an eye because it has to be. Ditto for the hand.

>Doublade is less of it evolving/splitting into two swords and more of it gaining a second hand and another eye.
Doublade is just slapping two together and doubling the design's problems.

>It isn't. As the sheath is not the main body, its just a sheath. Faces are usually on the body anon.

The idea of a sword pokemon was awesome and its wasted on such shit.

Now your personal opinion is just leaking through. Come on anon. Just because it doesn't fit your arbitrary "where a face should be" definition doesn't make it objectively bad, you just dislike it

Plus, they thought of the whole "what if it just looks like a sword" thing while designing it, that's why the tassel is shaped like a hand and constantly holding the sheath. Obviously it's alive or something has posessed it.

/vp/ has to be the only place that considers expecting faces on bodies to be something arbitrary in any way.

>Plus, they thought of the whole "what if it just looks like a sword" thing while designing it, that's why the tassel is shaped like a hand and constantly holding the sheath.
If "it has something resembling a hand, its a being!!!" is the design philosphy then it shows it has little clue what a being is.

>Taste is subjective. Quality isn't.
Right, but people take this and run with it, claiming someone can have "bad taste" for enjoying bad designs. They don't, there's no such thing as bad taste, just taste that doesn't match your own. You can certainly shit on someone's reasoning for liking something (you just like X because it's popular/edgy/your fetish), but you can't shit on them for enjoying things that are badly designed, because "badly designed" only makes sense in the context of your taste. It's like an older generation shitting on a newer generation's music, it's non-nonsensical to claim modern music doesn't do what older music does, because it's not trying to do that.

The "quality" of the grounds-kept-in coffee being bad only makes sense in the context of someone who expects normal coffee. That same coffee could be considered expertly crafted in a different context.
>>
>>32533237
The face IS on the body, it's on the sword. Putting on the sheath just reveals it. It's just a cool little gimmick and the mon is recognizable enough when unsheathed.

Also "If it has something resembling a hand, it's a being!!!" isn't a good design philosophy, but "It's floating and holding something with the hand AND has an eye, so it's a being" is.

But it isn't. There can be taste that doesn't match what's popular or taste for things that are widely disliked, but that doesn't mean their taste is bad by any objective means. "Bad taste", as a concept, DOES exist, but only as a subjective term. You can hold the opinion that someone's taste is bad or good, but neither will ever be objective fact.
>>
>>32533266
>The "quality" of the grounds-kept-in coffee being bad only makes sense in the context of someone who expects normal coffee. That same coffee could be considered expertly crafted in a different context.
There's two ways to go about it. Either one of the two sides is wrong or its good in one context and bad in the other which still means its objective.

>>32533272

What? Could you reword that in english?

I said the putting on the sheath reveals the "face" in the blade, not the eye.

>Except you said its on the sheath.

Please quote where I said it was on the sheath.

Bad taste to you, but varying taste to everyone else because it's not an objective factor.

We know Honedge's eye is an eye because we have to see a face in there and the closest thing we have is only one eye.

>I said the putting on the sheath reveals the "face" in the blade,
And the face is...

>Please quote where I said it was on the sheath.

The face is visible IN the sheath, I didn't say it was ON the sheath. The face is on the blade, but the sheath frames it. I suppose you could say that the face is half blade, half sheath.

Just quit pokemon. All your problems are solved.

I see. Thogh that'd make the eye in the main body kinda pointless. But now i see it in a different way.

Yes, there is a thing such as objectively bad designs. Poor proportions, bad choice in colours, a cluttered design (note, a busy design isn't necessarily cluttered, cluttered is when a bunch of needless bits are put in), a flat design...
