-rhyperiors body was ok, had potential...but something about its face...someone else said this but it looks like a fat guy with a bad nose job. i always liked rhydons dino look.
-electivire. this thing looks like dr.robotnik mixed with some weird orangutan gorilla. i always liked electabuzzs look.
-magmotar, its body is good but its face kills it and makes it look like some fat bully kid from elementry school. hell it almost directly resembles the fire breather trainers from hg/ss
sadly nothing can be done about magnezone and togekiss in my eyes. but they did good with gliscor and yanmega.

i know many of you feel they have been ruined, and hopefully GF does too. should they give them slight or heavy makeovers?

Tossing this over to Pokémon General since it's more a complaint/issue with general designs than anything specific for the Gen 5 games. :s

Please, evolutions were being ruined back in Generation I. If anything, what Generation IV did was nothing compared to I. Look at Diglett. Once he evolved he lost his phallic representation. Don't believe me? Look at this. I could go on about how Charizard was just awful or how Golduck has no charm to it compared to Psyduck, but I think I'll stop.

Just give Rhyperior ears, that's the only thing it's missing! If it had ears, it would be perfect!

hmm maybe true to but i never minded it.. like raichu, pikas evo. never had the charm that pika did.

but i'm talking about some of gen 1's classics being ruined by horrible looking evos. if they want to evolve old pokes, then make em look good

I used to think the same thing about Raichu. Then, when I played SS and had a Raichu following me around, I changed my mind. The thing looks awesome.

And honestly, I really liked the Gen IV evos, with the exception of Lickylicky. When I saw Electivire and Magmortar, I thought, "Wow, they've finally made those two cool!" Togekiss looks dumb, but is an awesome pokemon. Really... I have no issue with any of the evos, and I hope they stay the same.
