Some of the Generation 1 Pokes are just abysmal in design. Voltorb and Electrode have uncreative designs, Magmar is literally a butt-head (EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA!!!), Mr. Mime looks stupid, and Tangela and Jynx are just...nasty. People need to remove their nostalgia goggles before analyzing a new generation. People should stop complaining about Generation V and look at some of the IV Pokes. While some of the new evolutions were great (Gliscor, Yanmega, Electivire), many other Generation IV Pokes were awful. Ambipom was horrendous, the starters were meh, and most others were forgettable. One of the few that I actually like, Chatot, belonged in the tropical and colorful Hoenn region instead of the cold, forbidding Sinnoh region. Although some Generation V Pokemon are awful, some are great! Scolipede, Excadrill, Elgyem, and Eelektross have become my new favorite Bug, Steel, Psychic, and Electric types, for instance. The Snivy line is phenominal, Emboar is great, and the first 2 pokes in the Oshawott line are great! Although the region isn't my favorite, many of the Unova Pokes were great and really showed the potential of GameFreak to create great Pokemon. Plus, this region featured numerous great Psychic types. Munna/Musharna are cute, Elgyem/Beheeyem are cool, and the Reuniclus line shows GameFreak's creativity. I'm not even going to mention Gothitelle and Swoobat, they are ugly. Not to mention weak as heck. I really don't understand why people want Pokemon to just be different-colered cuter variations of animals. Plus, the Gen. 5 animal Pokemon look a lot more organic than the Gen. 5 animals. Just compare Pidgey and Pidove and you will see. Pidove looks more like it's base animal, a pidgeon, while Pidgey doesn't really look like any specific bird, just a bizarre combination of a bunch of different birds. Plus, if you consider Generation 2, Sandile is definitely more of a crocodile than Totodile.
