He's more complicated than he could be, when Bulbasaur is a really familiar shape (reptile) with a really familiar element (a plant on his back). I can't break down what are Chespin's characteristics aside from green spiked hoodie? I'm not saying it's bad, I started to like him more nowadays, but that's a point that is true. (Also Chespin doesn't have that many colors)
Snivy was actually more complicated that it could have been, but everyone loves it because of that smug demeanor (which I personally don't care for)
Honestly though there's never been a starter Pokemon I hated design-wise. I can't say the same for their later forms.
The things that REALLY turn me off for Pokemon designs are Pokemon with desaturated colors, too many patterns on them, and have soulless robotic eyes.
Pretty much this turd. I couldn't even tell where it's eyes were. I know now that those red things on it's head(?) are it's eyes but before I thought those patterns on the body(?) were the eyes.
Anyway I can't make heads or tales of the thing and it has a sickening color scheme of greyish-pale red and yellow. And I know it's based off of the already weird looking Dogū but Pokemon is known for taking wierd ugly things and turning them into cute likeable things. So there was no excuse!
