i know i shouldnt dwell on stupid opinions like this but a while ago i saw someone complain that Applin was a boring concept bc its just a worm in an apple and i was FLOORED. this iirc was in response to smth about gen 1 designs being boring as well

its not just a worm its a Wyrm its a pun. that is a concept. maybe you don't like it personally but to say its objectively bad is certainly Something. not every pokemon has to be based on a myth or something else fantastical to be a good concept. you Need "boring" pokemon for the dex to feel complete, if Everything is Cool then nothing is actually cool

"gamefreak is running out of ideas" yeah there's a billion fish pokemon but they're all actually very different to each other, lanturn is an anglerfish and lumineon is a butterfly fish. say what you will abt gamefreak rn its probably warranted but imo the one thing they still do right 100% of the time is unique concepts for each pokemon. the execution can be debated but the fundamentals are always there

#clai speaks #does this make sense #i get so annoyed every time i see the ''they're running out of ideas!!!!'' thing parroted all the time i had to say SOMETHING #like yeah you're gonna find some pokemon boring. theres a thousand of them now with all different designs #theres no way all 1000 are going to cater to you specifically. impossible #but to then fault the ENTIRE THING. get mad at people when they like the mon you think is lazily designed or boring or whatever #sorry not every pokemon can have the lore relevance of cosmog or reshiram or ogerpon? i guess????#you Need some toned down concepts for a good creature collector. or any game with a vast array of enemies to fight #are you expecting to go to route 1 and find reality-bending dragons there?#honestlyyyyy i don't actually even think gen 1 designs are Boring. yeah they aren't at the same standard as modern mons #but for the time they were perfectly acceptable. its been almost 30 years yeah things will change #maybe i;m just mad bc i'm a huge fan of several ''boring'' mons. fearow is so bland but i love it a lot #all the regional birds actually. no 1 unfezant defender #idk i should stop here i'm rambling too much. point is. i just wish people would stop treating opinions as objective fact #you dont like applin. thats cool. others do tho stop being pushy about it ok #i realize now maybe its hypocritical to complain abt others having these opinions its just. the way they always present it irks me yknow???#ahhh whatever. i think i;m making myself mad now JHDBJHBHJF #guy cares too much about pokemon opinions pt 126736
