But no Pokemon design is better than the other. That depends on the person.

I love the newer gens as much as the older ones, I'm generally against the nostalgia tainted glasses that people seem to wear when they talk about Pokémon, but...this works as a reference to what MRSKELETON said.

I'll try to stay on GEN 5 so, ok, here's this guy, Krookodile:



People may or not like him, but when you look at this design, you see some actual work and thinking behind it. It's simple, he looks cool and gets the point across.

Now, there's this...Klink...thing and it's entire evolution line







People may like it (for whatever reason), but there's no denying that this is one of the most lazy designs in the series history ever. There have been simpler designs that get the job well done like Voltorb or Magneton (who is 3 Magnemites glued togheter and has way more personality than Klink), so this is, indeed, a very bad Pokémon design, it isn't a matter of taste anymore, there's nothing worth of notice on it, it's bland, boring and lazy.

That can apply to games as well, God of War probably falls on that category (I can't be certain here because even though I played it a little, I know almost nothing about the history). He doesn't have a "bad taste" for games for liking it (unless he advertises it as the best game on the world), but there are some things that are undeniable.
