http://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/528.pnghttp://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/586-spring.png Take these two for example :3

Yeah I know when they were announced all at once at the leaks period just before the release in Japan, I was disappointed tbh. Cottonee & Petilil were the only ones I liked at that point besides the ones that were already released. XD;

(Well a few others, but as a whole, those two stood out the most, or stand out the most in my memory at least)

It's actually called Vanillite. :)
Vanillice... would make for an interesting Pokemon. XD

I think Hydreigon is moreso pretty than cute.

'cept they don't really! Poor fooled Pokemon...

Prettyyyyyy? I can't really consider Hydreigon pretty, if anything, uhh, awesome imo? Though awesome isn't really the right word to use, but yeah. But! Each to their own. :3

And Karpman I meant to quote you but apparently I didn't! Agreed on Reuniclus, though it's not one of my favourites. What matters is that I found it ugly at first and didn't know how anyone could like it and now I love its design. I change my mind so easily. :(

It may be pretty difficult, and if you think about it, if you want to get the game at a faster rate while still having the great features they bring in to experience, you're going to have to accept some of the designs, somehow. :o Not going against anyone's opinion on any of the Pokémon, but it's sort of my reasoning for not really caring too much about the design of some introduced.

Cute, cute. :)

Yeah for most of them I sort of forced myself to like when the games release was nearing in Aus. And once I got the game ans started playing with these pokemon it became so easy to start to like most of them :D

Another 5th Gen Pokemon that has grown on me, would be Beartic. At first, I thought it to have a horrid design, and today, I realized how great it looked. The coloring, the expression on its face, everything about it, I just love.

At first I wasn't too interested in Reuniclus too, but then I started to really like it once I saw Solosis. That is until someone mentioned it looks like a human fetus... now I can never look at it the same :/ Like it that comment has just stuck with Reuniclus whenever I see it XD I still like it though, just not as much as before.

For me it was more Whimsicott and Cottonee and...Sawsbuck. I wasn't too interested in any of the starters or Zorua or Gothitelle and Reuniclus (the first bunch iirc)

~Touko May 14th, 2011 8:45 AM

Surprisingly, I actually like lots of this gen Pokemon designs. There are only a few I frown upon that do not tickle my fancy...:

Liepard - I saw Purrloin and caught it, excited to see what it would evolve into because it was so cute and was quite disappointed. The colorings a bit odd and its just not what I was expecting at all.

Darmanitan - This one is more of a personal opinion, I loved Darumaka, it was a very fun fire Pokemon to work with but its big armed, scary faced evolution just made me want to cringe.

Heatmor - Something about this design did not go well with my senses. It just isn't eye popping like the others.

Garbodor - One word. Horrible. The shiny is okay but he is just...trashy. No. Just, no.

I also found there are some that I am REALLY impressed with:

Elgyem and evolutions - VERY creative and cute all in one. I don't think it reminds me of any other previous Pokemon in the other gens like most do.

Axew and evolutions - Simply gorge. (gorgeous) Perfect colors, adorable first evolution and strong second and third evolutions.

Cubchoo and evolution - Not sure how these two are in the battle field, but I have to say once I saw that cute little cub with a snotsickle dangling out of its nose, I fell in love. I also like Beartics arm positionings, it makes me want to hug him. :3

Accelgor - Completely shocked at this one, its SO great! Its looks, shiny form and the way its as fast as a ninja? Genius!

Pawniard and evolution - GREAT Pokemon. In battle and out. Sick sprites.

Trubbish - I hated this little guy at first site but eventually warmed up to him. He is so cute <3 But I still hate his evolution. :p

Gothorita - I since some Kirlia in this one...

Vanillite and evolutions - So sweet, cold and yummy! Adorableness! *.*

Sawsbuck and seasons - EPIC.

Frillish and evolutions - Jell-0! <3

I am also VERY impressed with the legendaries and event Pokemon in this gen. LOVE them. <3
I also have a soft spot for every single Pokemon in B&W's shiny form!
The shiny sprites this gen are simply jaw dropping!

The_Evil_Weavile May 14th, 2011 4:05 PM

Rayquaza is the only legendary I was ever attached too, and that affair ended when all of my games were stolen. ;_;

Since starting B/W though, I find them distasteful.

I gotta say, I thought I'd hate Black and White. My friend showed me some of the sprites, and I honestly almost gagged. But as I played through, the designs started to grow on me. Now I love all of them, but emboar still ticks me off sometimes, not sure why

Probably because you'd never expect a little pig to evolve into such a wrestler. :B

But I agree though, most designs for the Pokémon get the harshest criticism in the beginning, but once you start seeing them around more often you get used to their cons as well as pros I suppose.

Ho-Oh May 15th, 2011 5:25 PM

I think I love Emboar's design cause people hate it. :( I mean I mainly find the design "awesome" cause it's unexpected? idk. I dislike Pignite though, it just looks strange imo. But I guess that's all they could've done, cause they couldn't have made it skinnier tbh.

And no Gothitelle.. ;__;

Gyardosamped May 15th, 2011 5:28 PM

I think Audino is a really weird looking Pokemon. Some were kind of overdone but others look nice.

Cid May 16th, 2011 4:53 AM

I agree on how the designs look ugly at first and fitting after awhile. I'd say that my opinion towards Drilbur went from being a bad looking pre evo of Excadrill into an adorable clown. :3

Speaking of clowns, I'm starting to like Conkeldurr's line after looking at the DW art. :P

Timburr was the best of the line with Conkeldurr being the worse. It just looks weird. I LOVE Elgyem. Especially the name pun but I really, really dislike it's evolution. I dislike Fraxure but I do like Axew & Haxorus [sp?]

Switch it up, I really don't like the designs of some of the previous gen pokemon. Namely Hoenn Pokemon. Especially Shroomish - yuck!

Gothitelle. May 16th, 2011 7:36 AM

For meh, Gardurr was the worst on the line. Timburr and Conkeldurr were cute.

hiff8 May 17th, 2011 3:38 PM

Patrat's face just gives me a crazy urge to just kick him in the face I mean who looks at that retard and says " i want to train that" http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/patrat.jpg

Shining Raichu May 17th, 2011 3:45 PM

I grew to like it in the end, but my initial dislike was the constant moving battle sprites. I thought it made the graphics look messy, I like things clean-cut.

Serrah May 17th, 2011 5:51 PM

The only Pokémon that tended to show up in many parts within the games made, that I actually really liked, was Zigzagoon/Linoone for R/S/E. Otherwise, Patrat doesn't really change that for me. Though it's alright, its design isn't that bad to be honest.

2Cool4Mewtwo May 17th, 2011 6:38 PM

Timburr & conkeldurr doesn't look that bad, but gurdurr looks like a construction worker disguised as a clown, for real >.>

Watchog is even worse imo. Team plasma is crazy :shocked:

Ho-Oh May 18th, 2011 7:50 PM

Pfft, poor Patrat. I mean I dislike Watchog more, but Patrat is just annoying, that's all! It's kinda cute in its own way and better than Bidoof. It's like hating Rattata--oh wait, most people actually do. :(

I think Hydreigon has a pretty cool design, and a decent name at that as well. The only thing that irks me about it is the Dream World art given. Other than that, I like it.

0m3GA ARS3NAL May 19th, 2011 10:31 AM

I used to hate them, but they all grew on me fast...
Then I saw Mienshao, new fav pokemon look.

DemonBlood93 May 19th, 2011 1:08 PM

I must say I have no problems with the Gen V designs, they are all really great in my opinion the names are fine too.

Stan n Whatnot May 19th, 2011 4:42 PM

The only generations I've really liked are I, II, and V.

I do really like the new designs, the names drive me crazy sometimes, though.

Atomic Pirate May 22nd, 2011 2:07 PM

Whoa! Someone that actually likes Emboar's design?!

I don't get why everyone hates Emboar so much. By and far, it is my favorite Fire-Type Starter, it looks like someone set Ganon on fire...

dannyboy601 May 23rd, 2011 10:50 AM

I like all of the Unova Pokémon. Especially the Sandile evolution line.
