Original is original!
The Hitmon's are better designed and are definetly my favorits in this case!

 

[Idiot!]

Nageki not so much. But I think Dageki has potential in UU.

Gwah? You forgot the awesomeness that is HITMONTOP! Yeah, it's the oddball of the "trio", but it's still a legitimate Hitmon!

I'm going to go with the classics here. The Hitmon-Pokes for me. At least they don't look like colored rocks.

LOL...I'm all for red vs. blue in Pokemon :D, but you gotta have other stuff to distinguish the rocks...er..the Kis. Hmm... a Rock/Fighting Pokemon would be cool, though...

Actually. Nageki and Dageki are suppose to represent Judo and Karate, respectivly.

Indeed - I believe the identification for them in the dex literally translates to the Karate/Judo Pokemon as well. Their general sprite stances fits that too, as do their movesets - judo focus on grappling and take downs/throws - Nageki gets moves like Bind, Vital Throw and Overhead Throw, while karate does not - more about fighting on one's feet and using hand/leg attacks rather than grabbing, hence Dageki getting moves like Rock Smash, Brick Break, Ankle Sweep, and the obvious Karate Chop.

Certainly there's more to them than what meets the eye at first glance.

Yikes...I feel bad for judging a book by its cover... :( I'm liking the parallel this new Gen V Fighting-type Duo evokes... Still, their designs could've used work...

Based on designs alone, the chans are far superior. Plus, it's the Pokemon version of Bruce Lee and Jakie Chan! How could you vote against that?

This. Yeah, the Hitmons win it for me. Respectively, I love Hitmonchan's boxing motif and Hitmonlee's design the most, but a lot of minor touches just make them have an edge against the kis, IMO. They rely more than simple color changes and size alternations to distinguish themselves...

Am I in the minority here? Because I like the Ki's more than the Hitmon's. Maybe it's just the stark contrast of colours and build, and not to mention the parallels for them.

I like the Hitmons better, Nageki and Dageki look like Bert and Ernie

 

[Dooonerz]

The Chan's are soooo much better than the Ki's. In design and in battle, IMO.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought this. In regards to the poll, I voted Hitmons because they're awesome. The others....frankly, I hate. Hitmonlee and Hitmontop are amazing. Not so big on Chan though.

Original over copies! go Hitmon'chan'lee

The new ones don't even look like pokemon!! I mean really?! since when did the designs have to be complicated?!

 

[Numbers]

Hitmons all the way! Didn't used to like them back when I first fought them in pokemon red, then they started to grow on me once I caught and trained them.

Such posts do deserve the question - what is a Pokemon? The answer is...well, what the creators of Pokemon decide they should look like, really - there's no real specific 'look' that Pokemon have as ever since the beginning they've had all sorts of shapes and different origins, etc. Sure some gens have different general themes of sorts but that doesn't make them any more or less of a 'Pokemon'.

The Hitmons cause I love Hitmonlee's kicks and Hitmonchan's varied punches :)
