That may be true, but that doesn't change the fact that the actual stat distribution is extremely lazy and could have been done a lot better. I feel it deserves more... effort than it got. It's one of many reasons why I really wish I COULD like Rhyperior but I just... don't. And I'm actually one of those people who tries to defend it against people who REALLY hate it.rhyperior's main draw over its evo is actually solid rock which helps it tank attacks such as focus blast and ice beam and survive physical water- and grass-type attacks. basically, if you calc you will see that against super effective attacks it gets 80 spdef and ~175 def which really is impressive.
also i'd say the genies' incarnate forms are even stupider. it's basically a copy of each other but with different colors and tails lol.
i don't see what's wrong with conkelurr. people seem to hate bulky designs and conk is sort of a 'weirdo' (kinda like rhyperior) because of its muscles and nose. i like it more than machamp, tbh.
LAZY? Yes. Stupid? Eh... I wouldn't go that far. While they're definitely not as inspired as they could have been, I feel they Kamis look relatively neat in their own Legendary way and it helps them feel more unified. That said, they are NOT a win in terms of originality. I don't think they deserve the hate they receive, though.
While I can't speak for others, I actually love bulky designs. What I don't like about the Conkeldurr line is just the actual look of it. The nose is bulbous and ugly. The face is very plain and cartoonish... Conkeldurr in particular looks a lot like an angry Billy from Billy & Mandy. The body itself is... I suppose fine, but the biggest flaw in this line is the blatant cloning of the Machamp line... which I find INFINITELY more appealing. While I can see the dislike for Machamp itself (despite loving it personally), I feel Machop and Machoke are the ideal of what it is to be a fighting type, and do it perfectly. Plus them looking like lizardmen made them pretty cool in and of itself. That said, I actually agree with my fiancee, who said Machoke would be a lot better looking with a large lizard tail, and Machamp would look great if it also had a tail and had a face more like Machoke.
