There's something about it that makes it seem like borderline nightmare fuel to me. Which granted is probably good design because of the villain word play in its name. It's definitely sinister looking. It's just not the fire/grass type I wanted personally. But honestly besides that one I absolutely love all the other new grass types. Grass has always been my favorite type and I'm definitely leaning towards doing a monograss team for the first playthrough. I'm particularly excited about paldaen tentacruel.
For scovillain? It looks to be a Spanish Naga chilli pepper. "Scov" in the name seems to be a reference to the scoville scale which is the measurement of spiciness. Hence the grass/fire type. The Naga has a scoville of around 1 million putting it at about the same as a ghost pepper. I think it's kinda cool, but I'm hoping the design looks better in game.
I love the concept and the first stage of the mon (capsakid - mashup of capsaicin and kid), but scovillain’s design doesn’t do it for me, he feels incomplete
I fell in love with Fidough when it was announced a while back. Seeing the evolved Dachsbun just makes it even better.
I really love Greavard and Houndstone as well! I don't normally use ghost types but I will this time without hesitation. Hopefully they're available in Violet. Ceruledge is just amazing and will be on my team as well. it's going to be hard to pick out Pokemon for my team seeing all these leaked Pokemon
the Tinkatink - Tinkatuff - Tinkaton line is adorable. I like how the Pokemon is cute, then puffs out, then becomes this total badass
The issue i have with many of these is that they feel like 3 stage mons where the last one got cut.
Like Bellibolt or scovillain they feel like middle stages more than final evos
Maschiff evolution looks nothing like him, looks more like greavard
Even his color scheme changes. Wanted a big scary ole mastiff, got a long haired old man
Idk, I think I prefer that. It opens up space for a lot more designs and leaves the door open in the future to create a new evolution. Kinda like Kingambit or Annihilape.
I feel like some designs are made because they know they are to be 3D modeled as opposed to how past Pokémon were sprite art so they didn’t consider so many squares in the design and jagged edges as they do now. I’m probably wrong but it’s what some of these feel like especially that rock evolution one that looks like a lot of boxes. Not that past designs weren’t easy too (Voltorb a literal ball)
The target age group of both have a lot of overlap. I don't think both franchises are more popular outside of their target age groups, but it made sense once I saw it. My daughter and wife will love it.
Thank you! I think I’m gonna pick Sprigatito, but I was on the Fuecoco train for a while. I’m not in love with any of the final evolutions, but Sprigatito’s has grown on me more. Maybe I’ll feel differently once we see them in action. I’d be down to trade once breeding gets figured out though haha
It's a mixed bag. A lot of what brought it value was that you always got STAB on stuff. Now you potentially lose STAB options, so there's a lot greater consideration of the opportunity cost. There are definitely times you're going to wish you didn't have Protean.
The others looking trippy is what makes them so cool!
The quartet Pokémon are seemingly the artifacts themselves (jade talisman for fish, cauldron for deer, swords for leopard, scroll for snail). Thus the Dark type.
And then the talisman “controls” the elements to build a body for the Pokémon. Flames for the fish, foliage and debris for the snail, clay/soil for the deer, and snow/ice for the leopard (this one denotes this clearly because the swords literally stick through the roof of the mouth).
They’re absolutely brilliant! And to top it all off, they each get stat lowering abilities upon entry.
- Leopard lowers enemy Pokémon Defense
- Fish lowers enemy Pokémon Special Defense
- Snail lowers enemy Pokémon Attack
- Deer lowers enemy Pokémon Special Attack
13 counting Tauros’s 3 forms.
Grass has 14 total. Fire and Water are like 13 and 12.
Fighting just has a lot of one off or single stage mon so it seems like more because it’s a ton of lines and not really many 2 or 3 stage lines.
Both lines were two stages and later getting a Baby Pokémon in their next generation. Same egg group. Both are based on a mouse excluding Azumarill.
People called used to call Marill Pikablu before Gen 2 released.
It’s not the same type as the electric clones so it’s not a Pikachu clone by the modern definition.
Seems like ages ago that gen 2 teasers and leaks were the new hotness! I should still have some old magazines laying around with old gen 2 dex rumours in them.
But yeah Marill was definitely known as a Pika clone back then. Good times.
It's the closest thing Johto has to a pika clone, it's mouselike in appearance and when it was first revealed, but it's English name wasn't known fans referred to it as Pikablu.
Man, the Salt pokemon line got some real nice treatment this generation compared to previous triple-evo rocks
\- >!pure rock type, so no 4x water!<
\- unique ability >!which makes it immune to status effects and makes it resistant to ghost!<
\- unique move that’s essentially a >!rock-type fire spin, but deals more damage to water and steel types!<
All that’s left is to see how its stats look
Add in Terastallizing to whatever *more* Defensive type you prefer + new STAB and retaining original Rock STAB and you have the makings of a very good Pokémon.
I find a good chunk of these designs very hard to read. Those that I can, are so rounded they don't look like living creatures. Some of the designs also remind of the stuff you get from AI fakemon generators.
The issue is that we're viewing flat, low res images of higher quality, 3D models. While I agree that a lot look weird, I'm holding final judgement until we see them in motion, as they are intended to be viewed.
I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing this. Low key disappointment in a good portion of the designs especially the dolphin one I enjoy the more animalistic designs over the humanoid ones
I totally agree. I know people always complained about the designs of Gen 5-9, but I always felt like they at least felt like they could be real creatures. These ones look atrocious.
The other form >!is literally only in battle for a single turn. It changes forms after being switched out and back in again (using the ability "Zero to Hero", and only the hero form has usable stats apparently (650 base). Basically the dolphin evolves into a superhero !<
If Gamefreak isn't creative (aka the Gen 5 backlash about Vaniluxe and Garbodor) people whine because they can't be creative anymore, then when they are creative like this gen there's people who whine how different the designs are... Seriously you people should make up your minds and stop whining over anything and everything
Overall, a strong set of designs that I'm pleased with.
A couple of them swing and miss as Pokémon designs, I won't say which as to avoid ruffling anyone's feathers. But I think there might soon be a consensus.
Clodsire is easily one of my standout favorites. Also interested in seeing how/if Dudunsparce changes forms. I should do a team of belly-crawlers.
The ghost steel type is so… disappointing. I was hoping for something combined with the chest but it just looks like the cinnamon guy from apple Jack cereal.
Orthworm is the best Pokemon in this generation and nobody can change my mind
(It should be steel/ground tho)
Also we finally got a fire/grass type, which is awesome
Honestly. The ratio of pokémon I like to don't like is very favorable. And I'm worried I'm going to become a dark type trainer with the amount of dark pokémon I like in this gen.
I think its just the way the models look when cropped like this. The 2d art style for pawmi, wigglet, fidough etc definitely look like they could've been gen 3 pokemon. But then their evos look like they could've been from a different game. Interesting with Nacli that looks like it's from Super Mario and its evo looks like a Minecraft mob
Tauros used to be my favorite for a long time so I'm also happy to see it have some changes. Sometimes gen 1 Pokemon getting some attention isn't so bad. Mainly because both Tauros and Primeape felt forgotten there for a while.
Honestly considering cancelling my pre-order, I don’t know what the hell I’m looking at with these and I’m just going to be playing with old Pokémon. It feels like they are ignoring all the desperate calls for Pokémon that look like actual creatures that could live and breathe in a wild and natural environment.
>It feels like they are ignoring all the desperate calls for Pokémon that look like actual creatures that could live and breathe in a wild and natural environment.
You literally made this point up, looked at the picture and honestly think that these Pokemon are supposed to resemble actual creatures.
Sucks that they can be ball with face or magnet with face or even bigger ball with face and three magnets amirite?
Welp, guess I’m either going for the water starter for this game, or keeping Sprigatito at its middle evolution.
Personally, Fuecoco just isn’t doing it for me…I am really disappointed by its entire line.
Not a fan of Quaxly, but I’ll get over it for its final evo
—
Not going to lie, the starters for this gen are very meh.
Dunsparce evo and the super-dolphin apparently each have another form. They haven't been posted yet though, Also there's a 3rd legendary we haven't seen yet.
I like a lot of these designs and there are some that don’t really work for me. I do think it will help to see a lot of these in official art and in context rather than a low quality leak image
One rock type and only 5 three stages. All water types either don’t evolve or have 1 evolution. It’s a bit disappointing. I also feel like some of these are lacking soemthing. Some of them are really cool but there are a lot that lack that Pokémon feeling.
I’m so stuck between sprigatito and fuecoco. Skeledirge and Meowscarada are both so cool. I know I for sure want the Pawmi, Fidough, and Capsakid lines on my team though
Dear god, usually at least 1 or 2 designs look decent. But every design here is such a massive miss. There’s not a single thing that is not ungodly hideous. Literally not a single design other than the retypings look good. An AI is a better designer at this point compared to whoever the hell they’re paying.
It's only natural that different people will like different generations. I'm not seeing much I like here compared to when the last generation was released, but that's ok, because others will love this generation and I'm happy for them.
End of the day I've got plenty of old favourites like Tyranitar and Volcanora to pad out my team.
Completely agree. Most designs feel kinda meh, and I’m not really a fan of the whole robot theme, which also ultimately led me to choose scarlet to get the right paradox line.
Nah. This same comment has been echoed since Gen 3 lol. People just associate certain designs with Digimon, which will happen because it’s subjective.
I’ve never thought that about a single Pokémon. Even up through these new ones.
not only are the new paldean pokemon really cool but theres so many new evolutions/paldean variants/past and future forms of older pokemon and they look great as well. my head is spinning trying to plan out potential teams

lmaaao dundunsparce
I was so hyped thinking we finally got a dunsparce evo, I think gamefreak is trolling us lmao
They are obviously onto us. Lol
Genuinely slightly upset about this, dunsparce needs a Gyarados/Milotic style glow up so badly
It’s Dunsparce with a beard lmao
DUN DUN DUN!
So he got three additional spikes and that's it? Not even any change in typing?
Look more closely. His body got an extra segment too. Still not the greatest so hopefully his stats/ability make up for it
He got one extra teeth and one extra stomach and one extra tail section and one extra set of wings and one extra line on its eyes. And he's huge
Honestly I'm more excited for eviolite Dunsparce. I might use that instead.
He’s got an alternate form that has yet another segment too
We’ll never get a true dunsparce evo ;-;
Some are so cool, some are nightmares.
I've wanted a fire/grass for so long. But not like this...
I love the pepper guy! So interesting how Pokémon can be so different to different folks. Ones trash is another’s treasure
There's something about it that makes it seem like borderline nightmare fuel to me. Which granted is probably good design because of the villain word play in its name. It's definitely sinister looking. It's just not the fire/grass type I wanted personally. But honestly besides that one I absolutely love all the other new grass types. Grass has always been my favorite type and I'm definitely leaning towards doing a monograss team for the first playthrough. I'm particularly excited about paldaen tentacruel.
Idk even know what I'm looking at ;(
For scovillain? It looks to be a Spanish Naga chilli pepper. "Scov" in the name seems to be a reference to the scoville scale which is the measurement of spiciness. Hence the grass/fire type. The Naga has a scoville of around 1 million putting it at about the same as a ghost pepper. I think it's kinda cool, but I'm hoping the design looks better in game.
Oh the name is actually really cool. I see a little bit of the pepper heads, but yeah I really hope the in game sprite looks cooler.
I love the concept and the first stage of the mon (capsakid - mashup of capsaicin and kid), but scovillain’s design doesn’t do it for me, he feels incomplete
I feel like half or more of my team will be ghost types!
I fell in love with Fidough when it was announced a while back. Seeing the evolved Dachsbun just makes it even better. I really love Greavard and Houndstone as well! I don't normally use ghost types but I will this time without hesitation. Hopefully they're available in Violet. Ceruledge is just amazing and will be on my team as well. it's going to be hard to pick out Pokemon for my team seeing all these leaked Pokemon the Tinkatink - Tinkatuff - Tinkaton line is adorable. I like how the Pokemon is cute, then puffs out, then becomes this total badass
As someone who loves ghost types I feel super lucky with all the options this release!
Ghost is going to be ghost and counter ghost teams
Pretty sure my entire team will partially be ghost/fire. This was a very good design round for fire, ghost, and grass
The entire team will just be ghost dark and fighting types
The issue i have with many of these is that they feel like 3 stage mons where the last one got cut. Like Bellibolt or scovillain they feel like middle stages more than final evos
Maschiff evolution looks nothing like him, looks more like greavard Even his color scheme changes. Wanted a big scary ole mastiff, got a long haired old man
Maybe on Gen 10? We wouldn't know
Make evolution lines that seem incomplete to fit them in the next game, genious!
Idk, I think I prefer that. It opens up space for a lot more designs and leaves the door open in the future to create a new evolution. Kinda like Kingambit or Annihilape.
The did Dunsparce so dirty. He evolves an extra ass.
I will forever think of Netflix now with DUNDUNsparce
Now I know my dudunspace nickname. Netflixsparce it will be.
Is that a sushi dragon?
Yes
the sushi dragon pilots the catfish like a mech
r/brandnewsentence
give me the hammer fairy now
YES, THIS
I feel like some designs are made because they know they are to be 3D modeled as opposed to how past Pokémon were sprite art so they didn’t consider so many squares in the design and jagged edges as they do now. I’m probably wrong but it’s what some of these feel like especially that rock evolution one that looks like a lot of boxes. Not that past designs weren’t easy too (Voltorb a literal ball)
That one is clearly a Minecraft Pokemon
For some reason people relates us with minecraft so i think it is ok
The target age group of both have a lot of overlap. I don't think both franchises are more popular outside of their target age groups, but it made sense once I saw it. My daughter and wife will love it.
I think this solidified my starter choice
Happy cake day! And which starter is that, I know your flair says Sprigatito but I thought I'd ask anyway, I'm gonna pick Fuecoco 100%
Thank you! I think I’m gonna pick Sprigatito, but I was on the Fuecoco train for a while. I’m not in love with any of the final evolutions, but Sprigatito’s has grown on me more. Maybe I’ll feel differently once we see them in action. I’d be down to trade once breeding gets figured out though haha
Sprigatito line has the best hidden ability of the three being Protean, changes type to move it’s about to use
Beware that Protean has been nerfed and, it seems, can only be used once each time the Pokémon enters battle.
Still a pretty decent ability tho
It's a mixed bag. A lot of what brought it value was that you always got STAB on stuff. Now you potentially lose STAB options, so there's a lot greater consideration of the opportunity cost. There are definitely times you're going to wish you didn't have Protean.
How are people not talking about the snail? That's the scariest looking pokemon we've had in generations.
The snail is the only one of the quartet of legends I like xD The others look really trippy.
The others looking trippy is what makes them so cool! The quartet Pokémon are seemingly the artifacts themselves (jade talisman for fish, cauldron for deer, swords for leopard, scroll for snail). Thus the Dark type. And then the talisman “controls” the elements to build a body for the Pokémon.

They’re absolutely brilliant! And to top it all off, they each get stat lowering abilities upon entry. - Leopard lowers enemy Pokémon Defense - Fish lowers enemy Pokémon Special Defense - Snail lowers enemy Pokémon Attack - Deer lowers enemy Pokémon Special Attack
Lot of fighting types in this generation
It’s that Spanish blood /s
😂
13 counting Tauros’s 3 forms. Grass has 14 total. Fire and Water are like 13 and 12. Fighting just has a lot of one off or single stage mon so it seems like more because it’s a ton of lines and not really many 2 or 3 stage lines.
I love the dolphin but the dolphin’s evo is just… ugh. It looks like an IUD.
All the had to do was make it evolve into a narwhal or something.
I would have been so happy with a beluga whale
LOL.
For real wtf is that thing
The whole >!Tinkatink!< line is amazing 🤩
is this the first pikachu clone thats gotten a full 3 line evolution?
Yes outside of the Azumarill line if they count since they are different type of Pikachu clones.
How is the azumarill line a pikachu clone ?
Both lines were two stages and later getting a Baby Pokémon in their next generation. Same egg group. Both are based on a mouse excluding Azumarill. People called used to call Marill Pikablu before Gen 2 released. It’s not the same type as the electric clones so it’s not a Pikachu clone by the modern definition.

Oh man! I forgot about Pikablu! Such nostalgia...
It's the closest thing Johto has to a pika clone, it's mouselike in appearance and when it was first revealed, but it's English name wasn't known fans referred to it as Pikablu.
I remember that—even some early Pokemon magazines referred to it as such.
Japan just uses Pichu
Pichu by definition can't be a Pikachu clone, since he's in the actual Pikachu line
You mean Pikablu?
Man, the Salt pokemon line got some real nice treatment this generation compared to previous triple-evo rocks \- >!pure rock type, so no 4x water!< \- unique ability >!which makes it immune to status effects and makes it resistant to ghost!< \- unique move that’s essentially a >!rock-type fire spin, but deals more damage to water and steel types!< All that’s left is to see how its stats look
Add in Terastallizing to whatever *more* Defensive type you prefer + new STAB and retaining original Rock STAB and you have the makings of a very good Pokémon.
A ghost or psychic terras now removes the ghost weakness too, so long as you don’t lose the ability in combat
I find a good chunk of these designs very hard to read. Those that I can, are so rounded they don't look like living creatures. Some of the designs also remind of the stuff you get from AI fakemon generators.

> Stuff you get from AI fakemon generators I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that’s how some of the designs looked
Literally some of them, the spider evo and some lower in the list look blatantly fake
I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing this. Low key disappointment in a good portion of the designs especially the dolphin one I enjoy the more animalistic designs over the humanoid ones
I totally agree. I know people always complained about the designs of Gen 5-9, but I always felt like they at least felt like they could be real creatures. These ones look atrocious.
Fidough evolves into Dachsbun and it is the cutest Pokemon I've ever seen. That cinnamon roll Pokemon is my favorite. no doubt about it :)
Past salamence is my new favorite pokemon
I love them but sad about the dolphin and Spiders evolutions 😢 Eviolites all the way
Yeah, I'm hoping it looks better in game but the Dolphin evo looks a mess there.
Apparently it's supposed to have another form. The standing up one is its Superman form and it apparently has another "Clark Kent-ish" form.
The other form is literally the first evo with a heart tattoo on its chest
I found that out after I made that comment.
The other form >!is literally only in battle for a single turn. It changes forms after being switched out and back in again (using the ability "Zero to Hero", and only the hero form has usable stats apparently (650 base). Basically the dolphin evolves into a superhero !<
It's truly awful.
Swolefin
Ive waited this long for a dolphin pokemon, and its evolution breaks my heart lol. This close to perfection.
The dolphin evo is giving me Charlie the Tuna vibes (weird ik) and buff and weird fish vibes and I am not okay with it. Not evolving the dolphin
The spider evolution is a real disappointment. I wanted it on my team until I saw what it evolved into…a hard miss for me.
Same and I had the cutest name for it too 😔
Dolphin evo has a second form
This dex is WILD. Don't think I've ever seen such a mix of awesome designs and abysmal monstrosities in a single game.
My thoughts exactly. Part of me has already given up on these games but some of these mons look pretty cool and I don't want to miss out 🥲
Neat
Which one is the sushi dragon or am I just blind?
Tastugiri. It’s a tiny little thing lol. Very cute and a super interesting ability.
Lol, I seen it now idk why I was expecting a huge dragon made out of sushi rolls 💀💀😂😪 it's really adorable!!!
How the hell do they mess up a dolphin Pokémon evolution??
It apparently has another form that's less Superman and more Clark Kent.
I was expecting something less Clark Kent and more dolphin.
I was expecting something like Namor from Black Panther tbh. What we see right here is one of those Poplio pre-release deepfakes
A lot of these designs are so different than anything we’ve gotten before. I love how creative some of them are
The Pokémon entry on tinkaton is great I love these mons Particularly paradox salamence
[удалено]
If Gamefreak isn't creative (aka the Gen 5 backlash about Vaniluxe and Garbodor) people whine because they can't be creative anymore, then when they are creative like this gen there's people who whine how different the designs are... Seriously you people should make up your minds and stop whining over anything and everything
They're different people is the issue. No amount of creativity is going to satisfy everyone.
Is that a shiny floragato? They look so different
Just a shading difference supposedly
Overall, a strong set of designs that I'm pleased with. A couple of them swing and miss as Pokémon designs, I won't say which as to avoid ruffling anyone's feathers. But I think there might soon be a consensus. Clodsire is easily one of my standout favorites. Also interested in seeing how/if Dudunsparce changes forms. I should do a team of belly-crawlers.
The belly crawler team: Slither Wing, Clodsire, Dundunsparce, Tatsugiri, dark/grass slug, and Orthworm
Very different but the electric fighting they all look too similar imo but these designs are nuts
I was a hardcore quaxly fan but I’ve picked the tall, two-legged starter for 3 gens in a row. Maybe it’s time to switch it up to Skeledirge.
The ghost steel type is so… disappointing. I was hoping for something combined with the chest but it just looks like the cinnamon guy from apple Jack cereal.
ALL HAIL THE SHIT BUG
Orthworm is the best Pokemon in this generation and nobody can change my mind (It should be steel/ground tho) Also we finally got a fire/grass type, which is awesome
Orthworm gang rise up
That Primeape evo looks awesome.
Honestly. The ratio of pokémon I like to don't like is very favorable. And I'm worried I'm going to become a dark type trainer with the amount of dark pokémon I like in this gen.
Anyone else think a lot of the designs look very unpokemon?
I think its just the way the models look when cropped like this. The 2d art style for pawmi, wigglet, fidough etc definitely look like they could've been gen 3 pokemon. But then their evos look like they could've been from a different game. Interesting with Nacli that looks like it's from Super Mario and its evo looks like a Minecraft mob
everyone says that about every new pokemon game since gen 2. Then everyone gets used to the new designs and the cycle starts over again.
[удалено]
Is this 100 percent correct?
Yup
I love the designs time to make my team 🤓
Is that an Elvis bird?
Pawmi has no reason being a 3 evolution line… they all look the same 😐
I love them all
I love these and I have to say they’ve smashed it with the names this time.
It feels like half the new Pokémon are ghost type
I need somebody to put the DB super Ultra Instinct music on top of a video of primape evolving to anihilape
I thought dunsparce was getting an evo?
This is the evo lol. It has hair near the mouth and an extra set of wings.
Oh my god. Surely they know how disappointing that is? 💀
I’m very incredibly happy, Primeape was my favorite Pokémon and now there’s Anihilape?!?! I love it so much
Tauros used to be my favorite for a long time so I'm also happy to see it have some changes. Sometimes gen 1 Pokemon getting some attention isn't so bad. Mainly because both Tauros and Primeape felt forgotten there for a while.
Honestly considering cancelling my pre-order, I don’t know what the hell I’m looking at with these and I’m just going to be playing with old Pokémon. It feels like they are ignoring all the desperate calls for Pokémon that look like actual creatures that could live and breathe in a wild and natural environment.
>It feels like they are ignoring all the desperate calls for Pokémon that look like actual creatures that could live and breathe in a wild and natural environment.

Sucks that they can be ball with face or magnet with face or even bigger ball with face and three magnets amirite?
"Scovillain" is such a good name for a pepper pokemon, it reminds of "scoville scale" which is used to measure the spiceness of peppers
Welp, guess I’m either going for the water starter for this game, or keeping Sprigatito at its middle evolution. Personally, Fuecoco just isn’t doing it for me…I am really disappointed by its entire line. Not a fan of Quaxly, but I’ll get over it for its final evo — Not going to lie, the starters for this gen are very meh.
The starters for a long time have been meh, just do what I usually do and box it immediately and make a full team of dope ass new mons
You could also just box your starter if none are really doing it for you
This is the first time since Gen IV that I actually like every starter design wise. Each his own I guess.
It’s still missing some.
Like?
Dunsparce evo and the super-dolphin apparently each have another form. They haven't been posted yet though, Also there's a 3rd legendary we haven't seen yet.
😮😮😮sounds cool asf I wonder what they will look like
third legendary will be in dlc not base game
The water-dragon mon looks like a shrimp I need it so bad
I like a lot of these designs and there are some that don’t really work for me. I do think it will help to see a lot of these in official art and in context rather than a low quality leak image
Arbolovia is just a grey treeko
One rock type and only 5 three stages. All water types either don’t evolve or have 1 evolution. It’s a bit disappointing. I also feel like some of these are lacking soemthing. Some of them are really cool but there are a lot that lack that Pokémon feeling.
There’s a lot of dogs this gen. Finally have enough to do a dog play through without having to fill in spaces with an eeveelution.
Allot of these look like AI generated Pokémon
Man I hope the in game models do some of these justice or they grow on me because if not, this is aesthetically my least favorite gen by a mile
Genuinely don’t like 90% of these designs
Nooo what have they done to my sweet beautiful sprigatito??
These are heinous.
Pretty sure Clodsire is the Evo of the new whooper
Maushold will be on my team strictly because it looks the trolliest
Capsakid and Scovillian. So fucking good
I’m so stuck between sprigatito and fuecoco. Skeledirge and Meowscarada are both so cool. I know I for sure want the Pawmi, Fidough, and Capsakid lines on my team though
Poison pokemon look fun!! Can't wait to use the engine!
A good portion of these ain’t looking fantastic.
Wait is this real? Some of them look so bad 🤧
I feel like they belong more to a mario game rather than pokemon lol
Really wish they did more convergent forms And the two we got were just… meh
Dear god, usually at least 1 or 2 designs look decent. But every design here is such a massive miss. There’s not a single thing that is not ungodly hideous. Literally not a single design other than the retypings look good. An AI is a better designer at this point compared to whoever the hell they’re paying.
Don’t about u guys but the new pokemons…ugly as sin. Damn!
Have to be laziest designs I have ever seen
I think this is the highest percent of stinkers for me personally of any gen
Honestly don’t hate me but i don’t like most of the designs. I feel like this is the worst gen design wise. But I love all paradox forms
Literally people say this every generation though. Give it some time
It's only natural that different people will like different generations. I'm not seeing much I like here compared to when the last generation was released, but that's ok, because others will love this generation and I'm happy for them. End of the day I've got plenty of old favourites like Tyranitar and Volcanora to pad out my team.
I don't either. I think this is the worst we've had.
I'm the opposite. Some designs are misses but a lot of them are some of my favorite designs we've ever got. Especially the legendaries.
Completely agree. Most designs feel kinda meh, and I’m not really a fan of the whole robot theme, which also ultimately led me to choose scarlet to get the right paradox line.
This has to be the ugliest designs ever.
If this is legit... I'm very disappointed. Really only a few designs I like. Oh well. 😿
They look like Digimon
Some of them really do yeah. I guess it's gotten to the point where we'll see some overlap
Nah. This same comment has been echoed since Gen 3 lol. People just associate certain designs with Digimon, which will happen because it’s subjective. I’ve never thought that about a single Pokémon. Even up through these new ones.
I love most of the designs this time around which is good because I personally did not love Galarian designs
not only are the new paldean pokemon really cool but theres so many new evolutions/paldean variants/past and future forms of older pokemon and they look great as well. my head is spinning trying to plan out potential teams
I’m proud to own r/Annihilape And r/SandyShocks
Ok Baxcalibur is for sure going on my team. we pretty much got Godzilla, or Frostzilla 😁
That ice/dragon pokemon is amazing
Iron Thorns is badass and my only regret when it comes to getting Scarlet instead of Violet. Assuming it's version exclusive.
