    Fun fact: Back when there were only officially 151 mons, I made a list of extra pokémon.  Said list included togepi, pikablu, and doraemon.  No, really.

    Favorite Pokemon, aesthetic wise, is hard. I like Beedrill, Heatran (yeah, it looks like a turd, but its an iron magma turd!), Qwilfish, Exploud, Omastar.

    -Infernape
    -Luxray
    -Gengar
    -Garchomp
    -Espeon
    -Umbreon

    Mewtwo annoys me.

    Gengar, however, amuses me greatly.
  • DYREDYRE
    The Porygon line of Pokemon is the only one I really particularly like.  All the others are kinda meh.
  • ScythemantisScythemantis
    If you only like one pokemon it may as well be a virtual reality balloon duck.

    Pretty sure it's supposed to be a crane.

    Yes, I nitpick obscure things. Shut up.

    Yeah, it's definitely a virtual reality origami crane.

    I am so glad I'm not the only one here who actually knew that.

    Porygon2 does look more like a balloon duck though.
  • ScythemantisScythemantis
    And its animations in 3d imitated those awesome desktop drinky birds.

    Porygon2 is actually supposed to be Polysurface.

    DYRE,
    The Porygon line of Pokemon is the only one I really particularly like.

    Scythemantis,
    If you only like one pokemon it may as well be a virtual reality balloon duck.

    Porygon2 actually happens to be my favorite Pokemon for some reason. Gardevoir, Togekiss, Dragonite, and Porygon-Z are not far behind.

    As for Scythematis's question about kids not wanting to hang out with piles of garbage. I imagine that is probably more indicative of good hygiene than anything else. Plus, in real life, huge stacks of trash tend to be overrun with bugs and even though I am guessing some people would like that, others are not fans of insects.

    I think the rest of it comes down to people having different tastes which I actually see as a pretty good thing. I like hearing about people's different favorite Pokemon and seeing what teams they happen to be using. I am not quite sure why that it is, but I just find it pretty neat that people have their own preferences and styles of play.

    That being said, it actually seems to me like Stunfisk has somewhat of a decent sized fandom because of its appearance. The Pokemon that I think tend to be less popular are actually the more generic ones (like Finneon or Zigzagoon) rather than the ugly ones. I could be wrong about that though.

    I used to have a bizarre obsession with Zigzagoon.

    But when I was a child from the 80's to 90's, "gross" and "messy" monsters were THE thing. Every kid wanted a Madball, a Mad Scientist Monster Lab or a He-Man slime pit. A monster made of garbage would have been one of the most popular pokemon for its defiance of order and sterility.

    Now, kids are most into neat, tidy robots and anime dudes with swords.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    The existence of Muk and the fact that he wasn't the most popular Pokemon kinda shoots that full of holes.
    Now, kids are most into neat, tidy robots and anime dudes with swords.
    Even if kids weren't always into dudes with swords and giant robots (coughpowerrangerscough) what's wrong with that?

    Huh? You talk as if Muk and Power Rangers came out a long time ago or something! I said "when I was a kid from the 80's to 90's"....I was a teen by the time Pokemon came out, not a little kid anymore, and by then I had already observed the shift from grotesque monster love to sleek robot love. In fact, Power Rangers was the exact turning point...before them, the big thing was the Turtles, and their marketing focused on how cool it was that they were mutants living in the sewers.

    Of course there's nothing wrong with kids loving robots and swords, it's just sad to see an overwhelming majority nowadays preferring seriousness and order to more lighthearted and weird. Instead of a more diverse and even mix of tastes you see a drastically lower appreciation for more oddball pokemon.

    So, what do you think of Vanilluxe?
  • ScythemantisScythemantis
    Vanilluxe is positively adorable, a very clever concept and an endearing design. Its widespread hatred proves that pokemon fans are humorless, black-hearted sticks in the mud.

    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    ^What widespread hatred? I've only seen praise for the thing. Too much I think, as it shifts focus away from the far superior Cryogonal.

    It's also one of the most powerful Ice types in turns of stats that's not a legendary.

    Genosect gets lots of love and it's a prehistoric insect with a cannon on it's back made into a robot

    It naturally had that laser cannon on it's back in prehistoric times. OH SHI-

    Cryogonal would have been cooler if its design was inspired by the Koch fractal, but I like what we got.

    ^As usual, I have to comment on how amusingly worthless Techno Blast is. It's like Game Freak was trying to send an environmental message in the form of game mechanics.

  • ScythemantisScythemantis
    ^^Really? On every gaming or pokemon forum I've seen, Vanilluxe is HEAVILY bitched about as a "bottom of the barrel" concept with a "childish" design that has even ruined pokemon, because apparently some people hate ice cream and fuck them.
