General Pokemon Discussion

[GrooveMan.exe]

Making all the Pokémon cartoon-like would be extremely naive. The designs are varied because not everyone WANTS silly cartoony monsters.

Gen 3 had a lot of cool, even slightly disturbing Pokémon that gave the designs a side they sorely needed. Sableye, Claydol, the Regis, Absol, Cacturne.

To use an inter-series example, back when schools were all about Pokémon Vs. Digimon, what Digimon had was COOL FUCKING MONSTERS. While Pikachu and friends were simplistic enough to be recogniseable to all, Digimon had both that (Hi Agumon!) and some proper menacing/scary ones (Hi MetalGreymon! Hi Devimo- OHGODDON'TKILLME)

And you guys, has /v/ taught you nothing? Tier lists are entirely subjective and pretty retarded.
