Palworld has done better than Nintendo has been with characters lately.

Have you seen the latest gen? ~~Flamenco~~ Flamigo? ... seriously?

[–] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seel was gen 1. Every gen since the beginning has had boring filler pokemon. I've been a singles competitive player since the end of gen 4 though so my opinion might not matter as much.

Earlier gens had some originality. Nidoking, Polywhirl, Alakazam, Machamp. What are some more original looking Pokémon from the later gens? They all looked like a dog with a seed in his mouth tier when I glossed through them

"OBJECTMON ARE STUPID! GAMEFREAK WOULDN'T DO THIS IN THE GOLDEN ERA" - Voltorb says hi, and Sudowoodo is literally a bug being a tree

"REAL WORLD ANIMALS ARE LAZY! GAMEFREAK WOULDn'T DO THIS IN A REAL POKEMON GAME!" - Seel says hi

"Okay, that's just food, but now it's an animal." - Diglett looks more like a hotdog than a mole, let's be honest here.. but if you want something more direct Eggsecute

Sudowoodo always cracks me up.

I imagine them in a meeting room

"We need a unique twist in this 2nd gen. Something to catch the players off guard"

"What if we made a grass pokemon rock type heheh"

"What was that?!"

"What if we made a grass pokemon rock type? ... Y'know, most people pick fi.."

"That might actually work!! Genius! Who hired them?"
