The fact you included Ho-oh as an example of good design effectively voids your whole argument... Plus all of your "badly designed" pokemon aren't exactly the best choices...

(but I do agree that the earlier ones were the best :heh:)

 

I don't see what Elliott Gould has to do with anything.

Yeah, I remembered something else. The 3 semi-legendaries you get for each generation, too:

Not content with the legendary...things in D/P already looking terrible, they cloned the thing twice and just changed its head. :p

Empolean makes sense though, the whole water/penguin/trident design.

 

Everyone loves Riolu though? SURELY!

I hope if that is a different Nurse its because Nurse Joys across the world organised a big theft and when people came in to treat their Pokemon they stole and/or poisoned some. Pokemon is crying out for a more morally grey storyline :heh:

Yeah, but, comparatively it's just weak. They seem to overcomplicate Pokemon with adornments these days, making them look like they have metal prongy edges and strange blocky bits.

 

I mean, compared to its equivalent. :p

Hydro Pumps Empoleon out of the water tbh.

Empoleon is part steel type...

lol, it should be rusty then. In fairness, Blastoise is a bit steely too. Steel cannons for popping a splash in someone's ass.

 

Realism? In my Pokemon? Brb, it's my 11th birthday and I'm gonna go tour an entire region by myself protected by my pets, best of all, mother consented.

"Say, we need a seal Pokémon to evolve into a bigger seal Pokémon.

 

Hey, how about we take a seal, make it white and call it SEEL.

 

Genius. These are innovative ideas!"

"Lets make another Seal Pokemon, but this time....its blue...and we'll call it Spheal!"

Well in fairness in Japan its Japanese name is based on something else, its the lame English translators who were unoriginal :heh:

 

Besides, you could argue the reason Empolean doesn't rust away is because its arose out of evolution (Darwin, not Pokemon). Same reason bees can fly when they shouldn't really be able to (their fat arses should weight them down but their wing movements keep them in the air).

Gamefreaks originality at work...

It's called a joke. :z

 

Are you saying steel can be evolved so it doesn't rust? Amazing, I think we should call it Stainless Steel.

Yeah, stainless steel can still rust, genius. And you'd expect it to if it was constantly in contact with water. :p

 

Why are we even arguing this? :kiss:

Stainless steel is pretty much the most common alloy associated with resisting corrosion though, so it's what came to mind.
