Pokemon Designs I don’t like. Part 4.

Gen 4.

Oh boy, now we are entering dangerous territory. This is the Gen that made me lose faith in the franchise because of the new Pokemon designs. There are a lot of good ideas, but it looks like Game Freak was in a hurry because many of these designs could look better. I might have to split this into two.

As always, some dishonorable mentions.

Chimchar.

This is more on a personally level, I just find Chimpanzees creepy, and this cutesy design doesn’t change that. Design-wise, it’s okay, but I think they’re just pushing it with the flame tail since they already did that with the Charmander line. And the shadow it has on it’s eyes, is that mascara? Seems unnecessary.

Shinx evolution line.

Shinx has always look like a colorful mess to me, I like that it’s based on a lynx, but the cyan and yellow combo clashes a little, and the red nose doesn’t help either. Also, those stripes on their legs look like stockings. I’ll give the star tail a pass. 

Carnivine.

Its eyes. It could look somewhat decent if it didn’t have slowpoke eyes, or no eyes at all, like a piranha plant.

Always liked these guys.

Gallade.

I like its design and I’m glad male Gardevoirs have an alternative evolution, even though the shiny rock seems a little unfair, but my only problem here is that weird bump in its hips. Looks like he swallowed a watermelon whole.

Now, on with the list.

1. Monferno.

And I thought Chimchar looked bad, Monferno makes it even worse.

The blue and red face paint might hint that it is based on a mandrill, but it’s not well done because the blue disappears as soon as it evolves, so what was even the point? The Charmander tail makes it look like a bootleg fire starter. And there is not much of a difference from Chimchar, it just passes from a chimp to a monkey (Or mandrill).

3/10.

2. Starly evolutions.

Frankly, I’ve seen more creative bird designs. Starly is cute, but its evolutions could be a little more creative. The Taillow and Swellow from Gen 3 started a new trend of “Regional Birds”, but these designs are just boring. Staravia looks like a slightly bigger Starly and Staraptor came out of nowhere with an emo haircut.

4/10.

3. Bibarel.

Speaking of boring designs, Bidoof’s evolution is not much of a change, it has those silly eyes that just don’t work for me.

I was considering adding Bidoof to this list, but it is actually a little cute. Besides, not every day can you see the absolute perfection that is shiny Bidoof!

All hail Peanut Butter!

3/10

Perfect Bidoof: 100/100

4. Kricketune.

Kricketot is cute and has potential, I like the idea, but they ruined it with Kricketune. Its design is a combination of a cello and a cricket, but why does it have that mustache? They had a good thing going on but they found a way to ruin it, it’s just bad.

2/10.

5. Cranidos and Rampardos.

This idea could’ve work as a stand alone Pokemon if they just made a combination of these two designs. They’re based on the Pachycephalosaurus, also known as that weird skull bashing dinosaur. The evolution form is unnecessary, it’s like giving Aerodactyl a baby form just because. I feel they could’ve give Rampardos a better looking design, one that doesn’t look fat in the anime.

It could loose a few pounds.

6/10.

6. Bastiodon.

Shieldon is adorable, but then they ruined it with the evolution. Bastiodon looks like it crashed head first into a dump truck and got it stuck on its face. I know what they were going for here, but it just looks ugly and dumb. How does the poor thing even eat? Maybe that’s why it went extinct.

7. Burmy.

It’s a bagworm.

I thought they already played with that concept in gen 2 when they made Pineco, but there’s just nothing special about Burmy. Without the leaves, or whatever the female finds to cover its body, it’s just a generic worm.

1/10.

8. Pachirisu.

A sad attempt to make a Pikachu squirrel. Cute, but not enough, it reuses the idea of Pikachu’s electric cheeks we’ve seen in the past 3 gens, worst part is that they’re yellow which makes them stand out. It’s really obvious that they were trying to make a new kind of Pika clone, but it just doesn’t work. Maybe NOT making it an electric type would’ve been better.

4/10.

9. Floatzel.

Look at that smug on its face, it thinks it’s better than Buizel, but it’s not! Buizel has an interesting design, but this guy is a fatter Buizel with a life preserver, not very new.

5/10.

10. Ambipom.

AHHHHHHHHH! AIPOM, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!

It looks like somebody threw this monkey in a barrel full of radioactive wastes! 

I hate everything about this thing! That nose that makes it seem like its face got melted, that bowl cut with two popping hairs that looks stupid, those red tips on its hands. WHY?!

I’m glad they got rid of it in the anime because I can never stand to look at it for more than a second.

Gonna have to make a break here, there are still a lot of horrible designs in gen 4.

HEADCANON:

Lisia’s pokemon. I’m making this up as i go btw.

I’ve always had a set team for Lisia but I’ve recently been having the feel and idea that she has more and that the team is just her on hand ones.

I’m working on the idea that, sort of like how Gym Leaders will have a different team of pokemon for challengers of different levels, Lisia also has certain pokemon depending on what she’s doing.

It also comes into the whole thing where you can’t enter a pokemon that’s won a Master Rank ribbon in, say, the Cuteness Category, into the Normal Rank Cuteness Category, since they’ve already won it and its not fair. But I might get into that a bit more in another post.

Anyway. If Lisia has other pokemon, she does not store them in a PC and she tries to make sure she spends time with all of them. I’m figuring they’ll mostly be water types and they’ll probably hang out with Wallace in the Sootopolis gym or at his house.

And Lisia isn’t really a catcher when it comes to pokemon, so most likely her other pokemon have been given to her or she’s heckin asked if they wanna go with her.

So lets see...Mkay, she has-

Poliwag x2 Politoad x1 Slowpoke x1 Horsea x2 Staryu x 2 Goldeen x1 Clamperl x1 Magikarp x4  (they are Valid ok) Lanturn x1 Wooper x2 Corsola x2 Wailmer x 2 Lotad x 2 Sealeo x1 (is it bad i forgot this one existed yikes) Luvdisc x 17 Shellos (Blue) x1 Buneary (wow a not-water type) x1 Finneon (back to the water types welp) x2

Pokemon she will go doki for (want later)-

Squirtle Azurill/Marill/Azumarill Cleffa/Clefairy/Clefable Igglybuff/Jigglypuff/Wigglytuff Dratini/Dragonair!! Popplio/Brionne/Primarina Feebas/Milotic Pachirisu Pichu/Pikachu/Raichu Shinx Munna Minccino Alomomola Mimikyu (when she learns they just wanna be loved she will cry)

I’ve briefly mentioned about Lisia helping Contest newbies out. Sometimes this is a more one on one kinda thing or involves her teaching the person how to groom their pokemon all professionally etc. When she does this, she will pick a pokemon of hers that is at the same sort of condition as the persons/a bit above, since sometimes theres no point trying to show or teach using a pokemon that’s already at its peak? She wants the person to see what their pokemon, at its current level/condition, is capable of.

All of her on-hand team are in top condition, and they’re with her all the time, so another reason she uses her other pokemon for lessons and such is purely to spend time with them for a change! She also uses them/lends them for the Sootopolis water shows.

Her pokemon (the not on hand ones), do all have nicknames but there’s no way I’m naming them all rn. She loves them all and will spend time with them whenever she can. She loves to go swimming with them.
