Yeah, that's not so bad. The wing ends are a little weird, but other than that it could fit right in Alola

It doesn't really have a recognizable silhouette. That's not entirely a problem, but at the same time it kinda is. Kinda looks like a dinosaur fish to me. Which would be a pretty cool Pokemon.

I think somewhere around "wait there's how many of these fuckers?", you have to give up on recognizable silhouettes in all of them.

It's hard to explain why I hate that bird but I do. Possibly it's just the "we forgot to fill in these feathers" at the end of the wings.

i feel like the main issue is that the proportions look all weird. like someone glued illfitting wings onto a colorful penguin.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Of course, the mainline Pokemon always have perfectly reasonable proportions. I do think Pokemon designs nowadays tend to have much better proportions. I don't really see any more weird inflatable creatures like Swampert and Salamence. Then again, I'm sure some people might not like how things like Gogoat and Pyroar look too much like the actual animal's they're based on.

Something about the feet and the way the wings attach just don't sit right with me. Maybe it's the angle. Or the over-explosion of colours. Or all of it. I'm not a fan. ...then again I kinda like the little unicorn thing. I don't think it looks much like a Pokemon design but I do like it as a stand-alone cute thing.

That's an okay bird, I guess, even if the anatomy is a bit weird (the way the wings attach to the body look a little off) and the wingtip effect is a bit busy compared to the rest of the design. The unicorn, though, is just a poorly-drawn my little pony. I guess the problem I have with object pokemon (thanks whoever said that, I just couldn't really put the concept into words!) is that my mind rebels at the idea of a creature that doesn't look like it could have come into existence on its own. Like, it's too much of a coincidence that the ice cream looks like an ice cream, or that klingklang looks exactly like gears. Sure, geodude might be literally a grumpy rock with arms, but at least it looks kinda like it came about naturally somehow and not as if something had, well, designed it to look uncannily/exactly like a man-made object. Basically, I think my litmus test is whether a pokemon design would look plausible if human technology wasn't a thing. But I kinda get that it's sort of a visual pun, much in the spirit of terrible puns in the names.

quote:Like, it's too much of a coincidence [...] that klingklang looks exactly like gears. This is a cultural thing. Since Pokemon aren't (or at least weren't originally) supposed to be real animals but are exactly what the name claims: pocket monsters. Klingklang doesn't look exactly like gears, they are gears that have gained life spontaneously. A fair number the inanimate objects seem to get a free pass from people because they're ghosts (banette, drifblim, cofagrigus, chandelure, spiritomb) which are possessing random objects (dolls, balloons, sarcophagi, chandeliers, rocks, etc.), but Klingklang, Voltorb and the like aren't much different. I just assume that object pokemon without the ghost type are just the newest possessed objects. They're the ones that just haven't entirely figured out what they really are yet and haven't developed their ghostly powers. It's also pretty telling that most of them, if not actually electric type, have access to electric-type moves. Heck, Alola even made Geodude part electric-type! Even in the west electricity's associated with animation/reanimation, so if they're not ghosts, they're absolutely manmade pokemon like Porygon, they were just made by accident (like Muk and Garbodor). I can still understand why people don't like them, but some of them are pretty neat mechanically (no pun intended) even if you don't like the aesthetics.

I used a Palij (as well as its final evolution) in my end-game party. They're pretty fun, with access to Flash Fire allowing them to switch in for free if you call a fire attack. I don't think I would use one for a repeat, but guess who in my party hard-countered Overheat boss from the beginning of the thread?

My problem is not with Object pokemon themselves, but with how the more recent Object designs look so... unimaginative compared to the GenOne stuff. I mean, you just need to look at the uranium rod pokemon in this game, and it fully encapsulates all the problems the real series object pokemon have. (Please, God, it's a joke. Please don't let there be a uranium rod pokemon in this)

I mean, you just need to look at the uranium rod pokemon in this game, and it fully encapsulates all the problems the real series object pokemon have. Indeed, if only all new Pokemon designs could be as inventive as "just a Pokeball" or "a pile of sludge." That whole complaint has always been dumb because there have been both insanely creative and really hum-drum designs in all generations of Pokemon. And I'd argue both are necessary for the sake of contrast.
