I dropped my Panpour for a male Frillish in my first playthrough of Pokemon White.

Classy choice. Panpour at best learns scald upon evolution... a TM move.

Absolutely. Gen 5 introduced great water-mons and Panpour is not among them.

I didn't miss them in Gen 8, and I'm not missing them in Gen 9.

What disappoints me is that Panpour is an underwhelming water based mixed attacker. There are not too many water based mixed attackers compared to the plethora of water mons. Many tend to be tankier and focus on either physical or special. The few water based mixed attackers available are still better, like Floatzel for example, because of the movepools, abilities, and sometimes stat distribution. I use Floatzel as an example because it is just as frail, if not more frail, than Panpour/Simipour. However, Floatzel has better access to moves like aqua jet. It also does not need a tutor to access aqua tail when it can learn it on its own, something I think is worth mentioning against Panpour.

Panpour has been discarded. Simipour is next.

Simipour looks like a nice pokemon that wants to be your friend. That is sadly not good enough to make it usable when there are better pokemon. Swanna is a better pokemon than Simipour.

It's not a bad design per say. Reminds me of Lammy from Um Jammer Lammy.

Although it is simplistic. Very simple shapes for its hair and fur coat.

Yes they do. That is why we are all collectively coming up with different but interesting reasons to down vote them to oblivion so that we can get to the more interesting pokemon of gen 5. Upon further research Floatzel is not only better than Simipour despite being somewhat similar in stats and roles, Floatzel can be a support role with taunt + baton pass + agility or bulk up. Simipour just has nasty plot and that's it.

I'd rather either evolve them for the Pokedex, or not use them at all.

Simipour's shiny is a bit lazy with just making its shade of blue darker. Why not make it pink? That would make sense given that Shellos/Gastrodon and Frillish/Jellicent turn pink as alternate forms.

It may be cute, but I wouldn't oppose to voting it down.

The biggest problem with Munna is that the same generation introduced both Reuniclus and Gothitelle. All of which are bulky psychic types but have much better abilities. Gothietelle has shadow tag and Reuniclus has magic guard, overcoat, and regenerator. What does Munna have? Telepathy, forewarn, and synchronize. Those just aren't good enough.

I've played a ROM hack named Pokemon Unova Red. In that ROM hack, its line is better than in the main games.
