Nice to know you don't hate the design for Zubat! Team Rocket would like to invite you to our annual Zubat Evolution Festival in Viridian City. Sure last year the Golbats kinda...drained several dozen people of their blood but we are getting Sir Elton John to come and sing Rocket Man for us!
Well first we need you to get rid of that schmuck at the end of Nugget Bridge, he is not associated with us, the guy stole a t-shirt when we told him to get lost. So what you need to do is sneak up behind him, raise a Geodude above your head and scream "ROCK THIS YA PUTZ!" and clock him over the head with the Geodude. Take his shirt and show up to the Zubat Festival and we will talk to you then.
CuyoyaEnraged I would argue that the only actually failed pikachu clone were plussle and minun, and those aren't actually poorly designed, they just don't really do anything usefull. So they don't really fit in this list.
I think the worst one is definitely Dedenne. He looks like a premature Richu. I actually like all the other "pikachu clones", or I don't hate them at least.
AweSimmer At least it served a purpose when it was released. Let me tell you I made it my mission to get all 26 Unown back when they were released and put them in alphabetical order. But now I don't, I just skip over the Unown cave. It was interesting and with the release of Gold and Silver there was tons of school yard theories going around that if you spelled a Pokemon's name with the Unown in the correct order and beat the Elite 4 you'd get that Pokemon for free in your PC. Yes we were dumb but it made sense in our twisted, desperate little minds that didn't have the Internet so we'd grind for days trying to get our C-E-L-E-B-I Unown and our M-E-W Unown to get the rare Pokemon.
I think it’s funny that in universe, druddigon looks correct for its habitat. It’s wings are small and useless because it doesn’t need them in a cave, natural selection. Same for its head and arms. Cave life
+John Hurley Yes. It's my main problem with Dragonite and Salamence. Dragnet always looked to friendly to be a fierce dragon. Salamence was a shot at redemption, it looked fierce but it's wings though... it's wings killed me. This is why people like Charizard better, because it actually has more dragon like features despite the fact it isn't.
I thought Probopass was stupid too until one day in a chemistry class I actually saw what iron filings look like when they're on a magnet and was like "holy shit, that actually looks like a moustache! Game Freak wasn't doing meth!"
#3: Garbador. I know there was an opinion warning, but... Garbador's supposed to be ugly, just like real trash, and therefor I give Garbador the respect it deserves. Also, I like the idea Druddigon had going for it, the spiky skin part, but it was badly executed, yes. And I don't know what it is, but there's something about Hydreigon that makes me think "ugly". And I don't think that's what they were going for that time.
bowser12321 Oh, sorry. I didn't have any references open, like a Pokèdex. Yeah, there are many Pokèmon and much data to remember, and the thing most people, including myself, forget is the correct spelling.
Adam VanDerHoeven i agree with you on hydreigon being a bit of a failed idea. druddigon's was partially based on the fact he was a cave pokemon, therefore not needing wings and having long arms. i believe it also stated that druddigon had an extremely hard head, which explains the color change.
i have to disagree with druddigon, it's actually one of my favorite dragon pokemon alongside salamence, mega garchomp and hydreigon (however i respect your opinion and see why you'd dislike it's legoish appearance)
Well, at least Voltord isn't somewhere near the top, even if it shouldn't be there at all. *It's a mimic. A fucking mimic.* Like, the most classical jRPG enemy cleverly made into a Pokemon. He literally acts like a mimic the first time you encounter him.
innegativeion In the same vain a classical mimic is "just a chest made into a monster". That's the whole purpose of a mimic. It makes sense and is kind of clever. Nothing bad about it's design.
Yagi True, but usually a mimic grows teeth and maybe has some kind of a spirit in it. They don't just open their eyes. Voltorb could have been way cooler as an electric ghost that opens up and has sort of a genie in a lamp vibe. But with lightning.
***** Yea I feel the same way. I think some Pokémon look like they were two or three quick Ideas mixed together to form something quite often over designed. If I have to give an example it would be Heracross versus Mega Heracross. Where Heracross has a very simple overall design concept, they went with an illogical variable design with his mega form. They did this more as the series went on, which to me led to a general worsening in Pokémon designs especially from gen 3 onward. Still there remain Pokémon each generation you can see do get a lot of attention from a design standpoint and I do think some of those designs are beautiful.
While Amoonguss does still look stupid as fuck, I think I could play devil's advocate here. Becasue Unova is largely based on New York, that would make Unova a very urban region. That would mean that more trainers would be reaching for Pokeballs generally. And because mushrooms need to move spores around, a human covered in surprise Amoonguss spores while reaching for a "Pokeball" would be an easy way for it to spread its' 'seed' all over the goddam place, by tricking some dipshit into picking up what they thought was a pokeball.
my only issue with vanillux is how it sort of does the dugtrio thing where they have multiple versions of the previous evolution and then call it a new pokemon.
No Dookieshed. You aren't alone. I hate Geodude too. He's my least favorite Pokémon. When you put him on the list, my heart sang. And he's ugly as sin.
Alright, I'm probably gonna get killed for this, but here it goes: I don't like Mega Charizard X's design, the color scheme is bad, the wings are laughable, and the flame-tusk things on it's mouth doesn't fit in, and Charizard Y looks more like a dragon than this thing, it being a physical attacker also adds to the fact that I don't like this thing.
BloodRaptor We all would want that, but it's... unnecesary. Having a dragon type so early in the game would be a serious advantage, also, it already looks like a dragon... that's enough for me.
Mega Slowbro has an interesting concept. You know how, Slowbro fishes a shelder, and then it evolves. Well not quite, Shellder undergoes evolution, Slowbro just starts standing up because there's weight pulling his tail down. On Mega evolution, it's Shellder that evolves again. I'm not overly fond of its design, but. I named mine Temaki, so i now find it endearing
My problem with Mega Slowbro is that it does not have feet. How can it stand up? We already had a pokemon based off a top (Hitmontop) Why did Mega Slowbro need this treatment?
Now Beartic is my favorite Pokemon, but I respect your opinion on him. "It's a freakin bear with a freakin beard. Doesn't get much more manly that that. -Dookieshed 2015
I think the problem with Beartic is that it looks like a fucking *_triangle._* It's a pokemon that's supposed to be intimidating, and very well could have been, but the triangular shape makes it strange. Also, I don't know if he realized, but Probopass is supposed to be a compass and not an Easter Island head.
FlamingMarshmallow I guess it depends on your definition of bad design, there's bad design like Druddigon, and boring design like Voltorb, Muk and (In my opinion worst of all) Seel.
I saw it coming, and I knew he was going to be on this list, but I personally really like Electrode's design. His face seems very confident and its cool in my opinion. Nice list, though!
SpookyScarySkeletons The problem is that he's ONLY a face. He doesn't even get a cool lightning effect or something, it's just swapped colors and a face on a ball and then he cannot evolve any further.
dracocrusher No, I see your point. I completely understand why he is on this list. I mean, it is just a Pokeball turned upside down. I just find something very charming about him.
Dookie, I've been thinking of getting Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, since I saw it in a shop for very low price, but I'm uncertain... Is this a good place to start in the series? I've never played a Legacy of Kain game before, so I don't know.
How can you complain about Vanilluxe being overdesigned but then complain about Beartic's underdesign when they both have about the same amount of things going on.
I really like electrode. He's simplistic and his face is the best one we've had on a pokemon yet. I feel like your giving gen1 crap over nonsense. They had limited resources and staff at the time. So honestly i feel like even geodude looks pretty good giving what they had. Later gens had huge staff and basicly a unlimited budget so they had no reason to make sich shitty designs(looking at you gen 5)
"Probopass is ugly. It's the worst design ever". Being ugly ≠ Bad design. The design is the union of the Easter Island's stories and its culture. Probopass is a restored Moai with its Pukau, its coral eyes... the mini-noses are rocks with the face of Make-Make (the creator of humanity in the rapanui mythology) and its magnetism (and its Rock/Steel type) are related to Te Pito Kura... Probopass is very original and a clever design. It's not the worst design, it's the most undervalued design.
All the Pokemon's designs have an inspiration or purpose. Vanilluxe is one of the only Pokemon created by a non-Japanese dev. It's based off a delicacy in his town, a wafer cone ice cream. He got to design a POKEMON one that would be used in the game, and he made it to show pride in his home. Druddigon is based off of the Rock-headed Rock Agama, which is why it's color scheme is so erratic and why it's so spiny. Amoongus is based on the Aminita muscaria, a type of poisonous mushroom that has a red and white coloring. You think Garbodor is lazy? How about Muk? he's literally a pile of muck that they named Muk. More work obviously went into Garbodor. Barbaracle is a goose barnacle with the benefit of symbiosis. By clinging together and fusing, the Binacles come together to create a body that's much more economical, Not to mention its design being based on the Hamsa or Khamsa, a symbol in jewelry meant to provide defense against evil. What's Barbaracle's highest stat? Defense. Geodude is based off of geodes which are round and are typically found in mountainous areas. What did you expect them to do with a Polar Bear Pokemon. Polar Bears are completely white. There's not much they could do there that wouldn't break the theme. Slowbro is the "Hermit Crab" Pokemon, so it's mega design is obviously meant to be the crab retreating into its shell for protection. This is further backed up by the fact that Mega Slowbro has the highest base defense of all psychic types and is tied with Cloyster for strongest base defense of all water types. Probopass is based off of the pukau-wearing maoi statues of Easter Island, which look a lot different to the Easter Island heads that we all typically know, as well as being an homage to Mario, thus the mustache and color of it's pukau. Bonus: Altaria is based on the Peng, a giant, mystical bird in Chinese mythology with cloud-like wings and whiskers. It's a dragon/flying type instead of a normal/flying type because in Eastern mythology giant birds and dragons are closely related: the dragons being male, and the birds being female, thus Altaria's rather feminine design. Their designs do have inspiration and originality. Sometimes, it's just not completely obvious where it came from
Ma. S. I love Garbodor. I've won a lot of battles because of it's bulk and entry hazard moves, coupled with its decent attack. It makes a great addition to any team. It's no Forretress, but it's faster, and can use recycle, which is never not useful.
Ma. S. But I do hate Stunfisk. Fuck that electric pancake. I like the design just fine, I just don't like Stunfisk as a Pokemon. It's typing is unique and was really promising, but it failed to deliver and i will never forgive it for that.
what I hate most about voltorb trying to trick you into thinking its an item is that one, a pokeball fits in your hand so is roughly 5" in diameter where as voltorb is over a foot and a half tall [1'08"] plus only the games have items as a pokeball sprite, the actual item in real life would still be whatever it is, you don't drop a pair of scissors on the floor and they turn into a different item as a place holder
Darin Anderson I honestly don't get the hate for it's design, but w/e. Rabbid's Top Ten Mega Evolutions put it best: "All it took was a Shellder eating it alive to become a god.
Darin Anderson I actually think Dookie's joke about a mega slowking being a shellder with legs sticking out the bottom would be a cooler design. I like the power vortex at the tip of the shell in the concept drawing. Just saying. :)
No, I like it too, and honestly I'm surprise at the amount of dislike it gets. When I first saw Binacle, I thought it was going to be Gen 6's version of the stage one derpy Pokemon(like Dunsparce and Stunfisk), but then it evolved into some badass barnacle golem thing, what's not to like?
firetools What's not to like? That thing gives me nightmares! It looks like that monster from Pan's labyrinth that plops eyeballs into its hands and eats children... Just literally giving me nightmares
Haunter and Voltorb possession? OMG Conspiracy Theories part 2 confirmed. But seriously, I hope someday there'll be a new Conspiracy Theories video. So many new possibilities with all the lore out there now.
I hated on Amoonguss's design when I was training outside Snowbelle, and a shiny one showed up. Shiny Amoonguss looks a lot better, I like the shades of purple and cream they picked. The only thing there is to like about the ridiculousness of Barbaracle is it's X/OR entry: "When they evolve, two Binacle multiply into seven. They fight with the power of seven Binacle" which is by far the funniest entry I've ever read due to being made of obvious Is it bad I kinda like Druddigon's design? It looks like it has holly leaves for wings, but I think it should have been the first Dragon/Rock type, since it looks rocky to me. Also I think Garbodor's design makes sense for what it is (an overstuffed Trubbish), but in all honesty, I think Trubbish maybe should have either not evolved, or that Garbodor was not just an overstuffed Trubbish. Cuz I actually like Trubbish, haters be damned. I adore Bella/Dahlia. I mean I do kinda like Garbodor's design. What I hate about it is its pigtail things.
geodude is actually a "geode" not quite a rock, but rather a hollow crystal... i always found it smart that they "done it right" with his design (but yes if you crack a geodude open you would be quite wealthy)
the only thing i have to say is electrode and voltorb were meant to be "mimics" as a way of paying homage to classic rpgs and im sure they mad amungous because they just wanted a second mimic type creature
Amoongus and Voltorb are mimics. A trope kind of enemy that is common in video games, they are meant to pretend to be valluables so they can attack. Since overworld items in pokémon take the shapes of pokéballs, so are the Pokémon Mimics
Emilia is a girl's name DUMBASS. And seriously, explain why Voltorb looks good. "Sir! We need ideas for Pokemon!" ".....Hmmmmm....." "I KNOW! WHY DON'T WE MAKE A POKEMON THAT IS A POKEBALL WITH EYES!" "FUCKING GENIOUS!" Seriously, I would fire that dude. "How do we evolve it?" "........ You turn it upside down." "BRILLIANT!" And that dude. Luxray is awesome OK?! So stfu
***** It's a good Pokemon, to be sure, but it's design is just sorta meh. Personally, it wouldn't be on my worst designed Pokemon list, because I just don't really notice it, but it's still meh.
I don't understand how people dislike Druddigon, he's really mean looking, rugged and his colour scheme is actually pretty pleasing to me. I thought he was a legendary when I first saw him in the Dex. Even though his stats didn't reflect it.
***** Thank you! Druddigon's my favorite Dragon-Type Pokemon - the poor creature needs some more love. And the fact that it's so unsightly and competitively underwhelming makes it kind of... endearing.
Okay so I need you to know.... You subbed to me and naturally I like to see what my subbers put out there... this is the first video I saw of yours and you're GREAT. You're absolutely GREAT. You're hilarious and entertaining, I agree with a lot of the pokemon on this list. Actually, I can't think of one that I disagreed with. You had excellent points! So glad I'm not the only one who thought WTF when I first saw Druggdon or whatever....weird dragon pokemon thing. AND SAME WITH MEGA SLOWBRO. I was like...dude... how does he? I don't.....WHAT?! ALSO, you got yourself a subscriber! I'm gonna be binge watching your videos now. ^_^
I confess: I like Probopass. I IV/EV'd one named Gosei and I use him extensively. Honestly, when I think about it Gen 1 actually had a lot of pretty bad designs. Some things were woefully underdesigned (let's give a duck an onion and slap two extra tails on a bull) and some were a visual riot (Mr. Mime, Jynx, I wish I could delete you from my memory). But when I was 11 and there was no basis for comparison yet, of course I loved them all. Nowadays, I think Gen 3 had the best designs.
***** Look at his evolutionary line... they make no sense, and he looks dumb. What is with that vampire wings? Come on, don't just defend it because he is competitive good too.
ragmondead I love Druddigon too but you know its an opinion and you should respect it ***** well Charizard is just a fire breathing Dragon yet everyone ( more like 10 years old brats ) like It . oh and his X design was probably design by an edgy kid
Darknix 975 golem's cool, but graveler doesn't deserve to evolve into him. golem just doesn't seem to fit geodude and graveler. he looks like he should be part of a different evo line.
The funniest part of the video is "I don't know just give it a bunch of fucking hands. What about its head? I said give it a bunch of fucking hands. Ok, jeez." I rewatch those few seconds of the video over and over again since it makes me laugh so much.
If I had to make a list, I'd rate it as... 10- BLAZIKEN: For some reason, I've never liked its design all that much. I think it has to do with being just way too human looking, which feels boring when compared to other starters. 9- FORRETRESS: It looks less like a bag worm and more like somebody's stomach was pulled inside out. Yech. 8- PELIPPER: I love Wingull, but always felt that Pelipper just sorta...ruined its simplicity with its awkward body shape. 7- DUSTOX: It looks like a something a kid made after finding his mom's vibrator and then taping a bunch of arts and crafts to in order to make a doll out of it. Hilarity ensues when he runs through the house with it while making airplane noises while mom is having the neighbors over. 6- LUCARIO: I had to FORCE myself to like this thing and I honestly have no idea why it ever got as popular as it did. Zoroark tried to be the next up in line, but never caught on despite being way cooler in both concept and design. Seriously though, a bipedal dog with spikes and dreadlocks? And its mega is even worse with all that red, ugh... 5- KROOKODILE: Its official art looks good, but...something about the way it appears in game doesn't sit right with me. It's almost like I WANT to like this thing, but can't for some reason. It's a shame too, since Sandile was so perfect and Krokorok was cool too. 4- CHESTNAUGHT: This guy...he's one of two starters who i wished had remained small. To suddenly give him slinky arms and legs after being diminutive for so long makes no sense. He should've completed the dwarven look they were going for by making him a small, burly tank like creature that could easily retreat into its shell. 3- PALKIA: Its a giant penis. Really, just look at it. Oh, and its also wearing high heels. In all seriousness though, its human shape just looks weird with its long neck. It reminds me of an ornate Khezu from monster hunter, which is also ugly, but that was designed to be that way. 2- SAMUROTT: The other "should have stayed small" guy. This always bugged me. Why does a bipedal otter that turns into another otter suddenly turn into a quadrupedal sea lion? They should have just continued in the same fashion and made Samurott a pint sized samurai Pokemon. Like, imagine Dewott's body shape and size, but add Samurott's features: Keep the mustache, turn the shell helmet into a subtlety more shogun looking affair with maybe a small addition of body armor pieces, and lastly, keep the tail and sword blades, which it could ACTUALLY USE properly due to still being bipedal. Seriously, a pint sized fully evolved starter would have been boss. Gen 5 dropped the ball with all the starters, but at least the other two look good. 1- MASQUERAIN: I, for the life of me, have NEVER liked this thing and that stems from the fact that, for the longest time, I had no idea what it was supposed to even be. Its anatomy makes no sense and its completely unappealing. Seeing it in ruby and sapphire at the time was bad, but then getting to see it move around in Pokemon Colosseum just made it worse. What I thought were wings weren't and what I thought were legs weren't. I looks awful, seriously. Like, I can identify what EVERY OTHER POKEMON in existence is supposed to be except for this thing. It's stupid and I hate it, every time I see this thing I inexplicably get mad and I blame the poor design.
+Clyde seriously dud you have no idea from pokemon almost alll of those you said are awsome desings so go play tetris and leave the people that they dont hate everything play pokemon
+Jordan Griffin Note the fact that he said most and not all. I'm sure he doesn't think Electrode looks bad considering its on the list. (Or at least mentioned can't remember)
"NUMBER 6!!! It's over designed!!" And than "NUMBER 5!!! Its just a rock with hands on it!!" A.K.A. Underdesigned. Trully hate this list, and Geo Dude is one of the most amazing Pokémon in the history of this game. After Pikachu obviously.
My theory regarding Pokemon that look like pokeballs is that way back in time in the Pokemon universe, a person saw voltorb and decided to model the pokeballs after it...because it makes sense for an item that catches Pokemon to look like a Pokemon...and since voltorb is the closest Pokemon to looking like a ball, they chose it. I mean, it wouldn't make sense to make an item for catching Pokemon look like a fucking geodude or wailord.. So for my comfort, I choose to believe that in the universe of Pokemon, voltorb came before the pokeball.
Personally, I'm quite fond of Barbaracle. I like the idea of a bunch of barnacles all working in tandem to act as arms/legs, with one as the head. It seems pretty interesting to me how Pokémon can have more than one head/living body part but still function as one thing. Dodrio and Spiritomb (being made out 108 spirits) are prime examples of this.
For me, I DO NOT hate Vanilluxe or Garbador. Vanilluxe is adorable and Garbador has a creative design. It's just to me, Vaniluxe looks too much like icee cream and not a Pokemon and Garbador just looks like everything hurts. Honestly, just because it now has face, doesn't make it anymore likable.We just feel more sorry that it can feel the rejection
There's actually a good concept for Slowbro having the Spiral Shellder as armor in a Mega Evolution. Hell, I even think the idea of the shell growing so big it begins to take over its body sounds dark, but it could work, almost like how evolution for one means just the same amount if not more for the other. Instead... we get a Slowbro dreidel. Fucking. FAIL.
Garbodor is actually pretty sensical. Trubbish obviously represents the waste we produce. Garbodor gaining such a massive size and so much "junk" stuck in him, is supposed to show an over production of waste and our lack of containment and how as a society we can ruin the environment. Is basically another grimer/muk koffing/weezing sort of ideal.
Let's be real, here: Back in the RBG era, nobody expected this hair-brained idea to become a multinational phenomenon. Nobody expected to go beyond 152, and frankly when you get down to it Pokemon was just a standard RPG with the twist that you could catch and train the monsters. Basically what I'm getting at is that Voltorb and Electrode are your standard "mimic" monsters that appear in most RPGs. Only in this game the treasure chests are balls, so the mimics are balls too. So there you go. That's why Voltorb is a Pokeball. It's a mimic.
So Mega Slowbro has a theory. Slowbro didn't Mega, the Shellder did, and its connection to Slowbro gives Slowbro the boosts. Doesn't excuse the design, though.
Pretty sure the entire point of Garbador was to make a bigger point about take care of the environment in a more emphatic way than Weezing and muk could, being far more direct about the whole take care of the environment thing or abominations like this are going to appear.
Geodude isn't just based on geo-. It's also based on geode, which is a term for a rock with crystals inside it. Don't know why it has arms, but there you go.
Nice to know you don't hate the design for Zubat!
Team Rocket would like to invite you to our annual Zubat Evolution Festival in Viridian City.
Sure last year the Golbats kinda...drained several dozen people of their blood but we are getting Sir Elton John to come and sing Rocket Man for us!
Team Rocket +1 for going the extra country mile.
Team Rocket Of course he wouldn't think that! Remember good ol' Kain, Unsubscrib and Dick Ball?
Team Rocket Is there any way i can apply to be in your organization?
Well first we need you to get rid of that schmuck at the end of Nugget Bridge, he is not associated with us, the guy stole a t-shirt when we told him to get lost.
So what you need to do is sneak up behind him, raise a Geodude above your head and scream "ROCK THIS YA PUTZ!" and clock him over the head with the Geodude. Take his shirt and show up to the Zubat Festival and we will talk to you then.
So YOU'RE the schmuck that went out and started hugging all the Golbats!
7:15 I want that to be Garbodor's actual cry now.

Super TJT I would love a mega slowing like that. it could have high attack because of its pointy shell. and high speed because its legs are free.
"Give it a bunch of Fukin hands!" I died
Could've dedicated an entire number to all the Pikachu clones.
If that's not bad designing and uninspired nonsense, I dunno what is LOL
Except Emolga. They tried to make a good pikachu clone, and they did
But Dookie likes Pachirisu
CuyoyaEnraged I would argue that the only actually failed pikachu clone were plussle and minun, and those aren't actually poorly designed, they just don't really do anything usefull. So they don't really fit in this list.
PFFT, all these weirdos and their counter opinions ( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °)
I think the worst one is definitely Dedenne. He looks like a premature Richu. I actually like all the other "pikachu clones", or I don't hate them at least.
I was kinda expecting unown on this list. Like, it's literally letters.
AweSimmer At least it served a purpose when it was released. Let me tell you I made it my mission to get all 26 Unown back when they were released and put them in alphabetical order. But now I don't, I just skip over the Unown cave. It was interesting and with the release of Gold and Silver there was tons of school yard theories going around that if you spelled a Pokemon's name with the Unown in the correct order and beat the Elite 4 you'd get that Pokemon for free in your PC. Yes we were dumb but it made sense in our twisted, desperate little minds that didn't have the Internet so we'd grind for days trying to get our C-E-L-E-B-I Unown and our M-E-W Unown to get the rare Pokemon.

Druddigon isn't....THAT bad,,,,,,, (*Prepares to be killed*)
Azure Ceadeus I LOVE Druddigon actually (My forth favorite Pokémon ever)
Rough skin and a rocky helmet. Good fun and he has a surprisingly wide learn/move pool.
I Agree, I Like Druddigon
Well, it can at least be said that the worst dragon design isn't god awful and could have been a lot worse.
I think it’s funny that in universe, druddigon looks correct for its habitat. It’s wings are small and useless because it doesn’t need them in a cave, natural selection. Same for its head and arms. Cave life
When you said "Aww, who's a good bag of shit" I couldn't stop laughing. It didn't help when you said "AHHOHOHHIHA"afterwards xD
has anyone noticed that all of the dragon pokemon have really lame looking wings?
Edit: Except Niovern.
Most of them yes
John Hurley If they have wings at all that is.
+John Hurley Yes. It's my main problem with Dragonite and Salamence. Dragnet always looked to friendly to be a fierce dragon. Salamence was a shot at redemption, it looked fierce but it's wings though... it's wings killed me. This is why people like Charizard better, because it actually has more dragon like features despite the fact it isn't.
Macconator2010 But charizard X, who's an actual dragon, has stupid looking wings too.
John Hurley Did I say Charizard X?
I laughed when he said that about trubish, "daaaah who is a good bag of shit" xD
I thought Probopass was stupid too until one day in a chemistry class I actually saw what iron filings look like when they're on a magnet and was like "holy shit, that actually looks like a moustache! Game Freak wasn't doing meth!"
dude you had me dying at 6:49 XD
Me too
Awww who’s a good bag of shit
geodude may look boring, but golem makes up for it
by being a bigger rock, only now with LEGS :D
Alolan Golem looks great too
I Agree, Tho I'ts A Teeny Bit Weird An Little Rock With Arms Becomes An Bigger Rock With More Arms And Then Becomes An Rock Lizard
Golem makes training geodude worth it
Does it really?
"JUST GIVE IT A BUNCH OF FUKIN HANDS" made me die laughing.
#3: Garbador. I know there was an opinion warning, but... Garbador's supposed to be ugly, just like real trash, and therefor I give Garbador the respect it deserves.
Also, I like the idea Druddigon had going for it, the spiky skin part, but it was badly executed, yes.
And I don't know what it is, but there's something about Hydreigon that makes me think "ugly". And I don't think that's what they were going for that time.
Why do so many people call garbodor "garbador"?
bowser12321 Oh, sorry. I didn't have any references open, like a Pokèdex. Yeah, there are many Pokèmon and much data to remember, and the thing most people, including myself, forget is the correct spelling.
Adam VanDerHoeven i agree with you on hydreigon being a bit of a failed idea. druddigon's was partially based on the fact he was a cave pokemon, therefore not needing wings and having long arms. i believe it also stated that druddigon had an extremely hard head, which explains the color change.
***** No one mentioned Luvdisk because they don't want to criticize their ultimate tool to get that guy/gal. (Or so I guess.)
Adam VanDerHoeven well, if I got a pokemon that was holding a heart scale as a gift, I would be pretty happy.
i have to disagree with druddigon, it's actually one of my favorite dragon pokemon alongside salamence, mega garchomp and hydreigon
(however i respect your opinion and see why you'd dislike it's legoish appearance)
Well, at least Voltord isn't somewhere near the top, even if it shouldn't be there at all.
*It's a mimic. A fucking mimic.* Like, the most classical jRPG enemy cleverly made into a Pokemon. He literally acts like a mimic the first time you encounter him.
Yagi List about dumb pokemon designs, not dumb pokemon ideas, as stated.
innegativeion
In the same vain a classical mimic is "just a chest made into a monster".
That's the whole purpose of a mimic. It makes sense and is kind of clever. Nothing bad about it's design.
Yagi True, but usually a mimic grows teeth and maybe has some kind of a spirit in it. They don't just open their eyes. Voltorb could have been way cooler as an electric ghost that opens up and has sort of a genie in a lamp vibe. But with lightning.
Yagi
There's no shortage of interesting looking mimics in games, man. Know what I call a mimic that's just a chest with eyes? Dumb monster design.
Yagi Personally I think the mushroom pokemon do a better job of that.
Aw...Druddigon is my favorite unova pokemon. and favorite dragon type. Hes so cute and goofy!
I call Probopass the Nigel Thornberry Pokemon.
Sneaky GamingLemon reference
Omg yeah haha!
+TheGoldenKing20 I call Aromatisse that
Smashing
excuse me
I think most of the badly designed Pokémon are a result of rushing games, and designed quantity over quality when it comes to new Pokémon being made.
***** but zubat muk voltorb geodude FUCKING SEAL
***** Yea I feel the same way. I think some Pokémon look like they were two or three quick Ideas mixed together to form something quite often over designed. If I have to give an example it would be Heracross versus Mega Heracross. Where Heracross has a very simple overall design concept, they went with an illogical variable design with his mega form. They did this more as the series went on, which to me led to a general worsening in Pokémon designs especially from gen 3 onward. Still there remain Pokémon each generation you can see do get a lot of attention from a design standpoint and I do think some of those designs are beautiful.
TheTalkinWalkinBenana It's actually a seal they took what it was and spelled it wrong kinda like muk...Really gamefreak?
kum
***** A dumb gimmick, no creative input or over designing is the reason we get ugly pokemon. Rushing is the reason we get shitty Pokemon.

While Amoonguss does still look stupid as fuck, I think I could play devil's advocate here. Becasue Unova is largely based on New York, that would make Unova a very urban region. That would mean that more trainers would be reaching for Pokeballs generally. And because mushrooms need to move spores around, a human covered in surprise Amoonguss spores while reaching for a "Pokeball" would be an easy way for it to spread its' 'seed' all over the goddam place, by tricking some dipshit into picking up what they thought was a pokeball.
my only issue with vanillux is how it sort of does the dugtrio thing where they have multiple versions of the previous evolution and then call it a new pokemon.
i can't keep it together when he describes garbodor: AUGHHHHH
i just laugh out loud
No Dookieshed. You aren't alone. I hate Geodude too. He's my least favorite Pokémon. When you put him on the list, my heart sang. And he's ugly as sin.
I just realized there's a polar bear, grizzly bear, and panda bear Pokemon....
We bare bears and Pokemon! Wow!
Alright, I'm probably gonna get killed for this, but here it goes: I don't like Mega Charizard X's design, the color scheme is bad, the wings are laughable, and the flame-tusk things on it's mouth doesn't fit in, and Charizard Y looks more like a dragon than this thing, it being a physical attacker also adds to the fact that I don't like this thing.
Basicly: The only reason Mega Charizard X exist, it's because fans wanted a dragon charizard.
Blur Hikari A dragon type Charizard would be awesome, and I would like to have one, but not like that.
BloodRaptor We all would want that, but it's... unnecesary. Having a dragon type so early in the game would be a serious advantage, also, it already looks like a dragon... that's enough for me.
I accept your honesty and opinion.
+BloodRaptor Isn't Mega Charizard X based off a dragon kite?
Mega Slowbro has an interesting concept. You know how, Slowbro fishes a shelder, and then it evolves. Well not quite, Shellder undergoes evolution, Slowbro just starts standing up because there's weight pulling his tail down. On Mega evolution, it's Shellder that evolves again. I'm not overly fond of its design, but. I named mine Temaki, so i now find it endearing
The puffy thing on beartic's design is his tail
proof by an episode when facing brycen
My problem with Mega Slowbro is that it does not have feet. How can it stand up? We already had a pokemon based off a top (Hitmontop) Why did Mega Slowbro need this treatment?
you can never have too many beyblades
+Aryan Anand let it rip hitmontop
Neeko Yup, so then they thought oh Slowbro, yeah lets make him one as well and now he can Rapid Spin without learning Rapid Spin
yasss pokeblade
the new crossover game of pokemon and beyblades
Its tail... is very hard...
Wait, what?
Now Beartic is my favorite Pokemon, but I respect your opinion on him.
"It's a freakin bear with a freakin beard. Doesn't get much more manly that that. -Dookieshed 2015
i hate conkeldurr because of those ugly popping veins on it
I think the problem with Beartic is that it looks like a fucking *_triangle._*
It's a pokemon that's supposed to be intimidating, and very well could have been, but the triangular shape makes it strange.
Also, I don't know if he realized, but Probopass is supposed to be a compass and not an Easter Island head.
6:00 - Way to go, dude! Nice idea throwing in a photo of Mike Conley!
Dookie, why are you cosplaying as Jim Sterling?
Seel. It is a seal, named Seel. It looks like a seal with a spike on its head, because it is a seal, named Seel.
There's not really anything wrong with it's design though. It's bland as hell, but there's nothing explicitly wrong with it
FlamingMarshmallow I guess it depends on your definition of bad design, there's bad design like Druddigon, and boring design like Voltorb, Muk and (In my opinion worst of all) Seel.
I saw it coming, and I knew he was going to be on this list, but I personally really like Electrode's design. His face seems very confident and its cool in my opinion. Nice list, though!
SpookyScarySkeletons The problem is that he's ONLY a face. He doesn't even get a cool lightning effect or something, it's just swapped colors and a face on a ball and then he cannot evolve any further.
dracocrusher No, I see your point. I completely understand why he is on this list. I mean, it is just a Pokeball turned upside down. I just find something very charming about him.
dracocrusher put blackglasses on and Swag he has Pokeballin
Dookie, I've been thinking of getting Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, since I saw it in a shop for very low price, but I'm uncertain... Is this a good place to start in the series?
I've never played a Legacy of Kain game before, so I don't know.
How can you complain about Vanilluxe being overdesigned but then complain about Beartic's underdesign when they both have about the same amount of things going on.
Oh My Arceus! I literally thought I was the only one who hated mother freaking GEODUDE!!!
When I saw mega Slowbro I opened a new tab and started playing the beyblade theme. Your welcome
+Shadowdevil Suki Oh and Probopasses new name is Pedopass
beyblade beyblade metal fusion
Under 301 club some milk and a lot of cookies please
I really like electrode. He's simplistic and his face is the best one we've had on a pokemon yet.
I feel like your giving gen1 crap over nonsense. They had limited resources and staff at the time. So honestly i feel like even geodude looks pretty good giving what they had.
Later gens had huge staff and basicly a unlimited budget so they had no reason to make sich shitty designs(looking at you gen 5)
Probopass’s design is clearly based on Nigel Thornberry. It’s quite smashing.
Am I the only one who loves Vanilluxe? No seriously, I love that mofo
Proximity94 I don hate it, but don't love it. Looks ok to me.Thing that kills me: 2. Faces. Help.
Proximity94 I don't hate Vanilluxe, I like it.
"Probopass is ugly. It's the worst design ever".
Being ugly ≠ Bad design. The design is the union of the Easter Island's stories and its culture. Probopass is a restored Moai with its Pukau, its coral eyes... the mini-noses are rocks with the face of Make-Make (the creator of humanity in the rapanui mythology) and its magnetism (and its Rock/Steel type) are related to Te Pito Kura...
Probopass is very original and a clever design. It's not the worst design, it's the most undervalued design.
All the Pokemon's designs have an inspiration or purpose. Vanilluxe is one of the only Pokemon created by a non-Japanese dev. It's based off a delicacy in his town, a wafer cone ice cream. He got to design a POKEMON one that would be used in the game, and he made it to show pride in his home.
Druddigon is based off of the Rock-headed Rock Agama, which is why it's color scheme is so erratic and why it's so spiny.
Amoongus is based on the Aminita muscaria, a type of poisonous mushroom that has a red and white coloring.
You think Garbodor is lazy? How about Muk? he's literally a pile of muck that they named Muk. More work obviously went into Garbodor.
Barbaracle is a goose barnacle with the benefit of symbiosis. By clinging together and fusing, the Binacles come together to create a body that's much more economical, Not to mention its design being based on the Hamsa or Khamsa, a symbol in jewelry meant to provide defense against evil. What's Barbaracle's highest stat? Defense.
Geodude is based off of geodes which are round and are typically found in mountainous areas.
What did you expect them to do with a Polar Bear Pokemon. Polar Bears are completely white. There's not much they could do there that wouldn't break the theme.
Slowbro is the "Hermit Crab" Pokemon, so it's mega design is obviously meant to be the crab retreating into its shell for protection. This is further backed up by the fact that Mega Slowbro has the highest base defense of all psychic types and is tied with Cloyster for strongest base defense of all water types.
Probopass is based off of the pukau-wearing maoi statues of Easter Island, which look a lot different to the Easter Island heads that we all typically know, as well as being an homage to Mario, thus the mustache and color of it's pukau.
Bonus: Altaria is based on the Peng, a giant, mystical bird in Chinese mythology with cloud-like wings and whiskers. It's a dragon/flying type instead of a normal/flying type because in Eastern mythology giant birds and dragons are closely related: the dragons being male, and the birds being female, thus Altaria's rather feminine design.
Their designs do have inspiration and originality. Sometimes, it's just not completely obvious where it came from
Ma. S. he said WORST not ugliest. It's about Pokemon whose designs are supposedly lazy or uninspired, which couldn't be less true
Ma. S. I disagree. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I find their designs quite nice
Ma. S. I love Garbodor. I've won a lot of battles because of it's bulk and entry hazard moves, coupled with its decent attack. It makes a great addition to any team. It's no Forretress, but it's faster, and can use recycle, which is never not useful.
Ma. S. But I do hate Stunfisk. Fuck that electric pancake. I like the design just fine, I just don't like Stunfisk as a Pokemon. It's typing is unique and was really promising, but it failed to deliver and i will never forgive it for that.
Ma. S. It's the Garbage Heap Pokemon. It could be a lot worse. Besides, more work went into Garbodor's design than Muk's or Swalot's.
You know what would be a better idea for Trubbish's evolution; being in a trash can and using it like a snail shell.
what I hate most about voltorb trying to trick you into thinking its an item is that one, a pokeball fits in your hand so is roughly 5" in diameter where as voltorb is over a foot and a half tall [1'08"] plus only the games have items as a pokeball sprite, the actual item in real life would still be whatever it is, you don't drop a pair of scissors on the floor and they turn into a different item as a place holder
Ya. I HATE mega-slowbro... I was so exited to hear it got a mega and it looks awful. It would likely have been #1 in my list.
Darin Anderson At least its useful.
That almost makes it worse for me. If it sucked in battle I would just forget it exists but I always want to use it but it looks SO bad.
Darin Anderson I honestly don't get the hate for it's design, but w/e. Rabbid's Top Ten Mega Evolutions put it best: "All it took was a Shellder eating it alive to become a god.
Darin Anderson I actually think Dookie's joke about a mega slowking being a shellder with legs sticking out the bottom would be a cooler design. I like the power vortex at the tip of the shell in the concept drawing. Just saying. :)
Amanda Lee Dube oh I totally agree. That would be a fine design. But mega slobrow's design is awful.
amoongus evolved to hunt humans
Am I the only person who actually LIKES Barbaracle? D:
Probably
:(
No, I like it too, and honestly I'm surprise at the amount of dislike it gets. When I first saw Binacle, I thought it was going to be Gen 6's version of the stage one derpy Pokemon(like Dunsparce and Stunfisk), but then it evolved into some badass barnacle golem thing, what's not to like?
firetools Ikr?
Barbaracle is a fucking boss! :D
firetools What's not to like? That thing gives me nightmares! It looks like that monster from Pan's labyrinth that plops eyeballs into its hands and eats children... Just literally giving me nightmares
I've always thought in pokemon lore that Voltorb and foongus' line was the inspiration for pokèball design.
Haunter and Voltorb possession? OMG Conspiracy Theories part 2 confirmed.
But seriously, I hope someday there'll be a new Conspiracy Theories video. So many new possibilities with all the lore out there now.
I hated on Amoonguss's design when I was training outside Snowbelle, and a shiny one showed up. Shiny Amoonguss looks a lot better, I like the shades of purple and cream they picked.
The only thing there is to like about the ridiculousness of Barbaracle is it's X/OR entry: "When they evolve, two Binacle multiply into seven. They fight with the power of seven Binacle" which is by far the funniest entry I've ever read due to being made of obvious
Is it bad I kinda like Druddigon's design? It looks like it has holly leaves for wings, but I think it should have been the first Dragon/Rock type, since it looks rocky to me.
Also I think Garbodor's design makes sense for what it is (an overstuffed Trubbish), but in all honesty, I think Trubbish maybe should have either not evolved, or that Garbodor was not just an overstuffed Trubbish. Cuz I actually like Trubbish, haters be damned. I adore Bella/Dahlia. I mean I do kinda like Garbodor's design. What I hate about it is its pigtail things.
I haven't watched the video yet, but if probopass is not on here... lol
Gugglewolfgaming Woo RIGHT
geodude is actually a "geode" not quite a rock, but rather a hollow crystal... i always found it smart that they "done it right" with his design (but yes if you crack a geodude open you would be quite wealthy)
the only thing i have to say is electrode and voltorb were meant to be "mimics" as a way of paying homage to classic rpgs and im sure they mad amungous because they just wanted a second mimic type creature
I actually really like Barbaracles design xD
Does anyone know WTF is Dunsparce based on? that thing is a fucking mess of a pokeman.
DammitSinged A japanese creature of myth: Tsuchinoko (which I did have to look up).
well that explains a lot. it still looks fucking bad though.
DammitSinged And people still think they're so legit using them in competitive.
Serene Grace Body Slam/Headbutt/Coil/Rest holding Chesto berry
It looks kinda like a sex toy.
Garbador looks like a radical feminist
He also looks like one of those guys who see radical feminists in every mild feminist enquiry.
IAmebAdger no it just looks like a feminist
I think feminists are trying to grow a moustache for equality issues... Stop it girls, pokemon tried and.... oh my....
True.
Oh come on...
Feminist are far more ugly
Amoongus and Voltorb are mimics. A trope kind of enemy that is common in video games, they are meant to pretend to be valluables so they can attack. Since overworld items in pokémon take the shapes of pokéballs, so are the Pokémon Mimics
I always give Druddigon the nickname Crayolagon, because he looks like he was made out of a bunch of melted-down crayons.
Klefki is the most pointless Pokemon ever... ITS JUST KEYS! That isn't cool Japan
But it's good in battle
O I never used it lol, I just didn't like its design
Better than a water bottle pokemon
tru
+Polaromus klefki is a killer sweeper by itself :p remmeber that
Voltorb actually is my favorite Pokémon. Not even joking.
Emilia Kowalska Sorry, he's unavailable of how cool his opinion is.
Jacob Rutter Fuck you too. Look at Luxray. Who's the better looking electric type now?
Emilia Kowalska Me. Because you've never heard of the super secret Pokemon called "Opinions".
Jacob Rutter U just Rekt him!
Emilia is a girl's name DUMBASS. And seriously, explain why Voltorb looks good.
"Sir! We need ideas for Pokemon!"
".....Hmmmmm....."
"I KNOW! WHY DON'T WE MAKE A POKEMON THAT IS A POKEBALL WITH EYES!"
"FUCKING GENIOUS!"
Seriously, I would fire that dude.
"How do we evolve it?"
"........
You turn it upside down."
"BRILLIANT!"
And that dude.
Luxray is awesome OK?! So stfu
Am I the only one who actually likes Druddigon?
***** It's a good Pokemon, to be sure, but it's design is just sorta meh. Personally, it wouldn't be on my worst designed Pokemon list, because I just don't really notice it, but it's still meh.
Nope :D
I don't understand how people dislike Druddigon, he's really mean looking, rugged and his colour scheme is actually pretty pleasing to me.
I thought he was a legendary when I first saw him in the Dex. Even though his stats didn't reflect it.
***** Thank you! Druddigon's my favorite Dragon-Type Pokemon - the poor creature needs some more love. And the fact that it's so unsightly and competitively underwhelming makes it kind of... endearing.
***** Shut it, Hobo Phoenix. Druddigon's a good fucking Pokemon, it just has an unfortunate design.
Okay so I need you to know....
You subbed to me and naturally I like to see what my subbers put out there... this is the first video I saw of yours and you're GREAT. You're absolutely GREAT. You're hilarious and entertaining, I agree with a lot of the pokemon on this list. Actually, I can't think of one that I disagreed with. You had excellent points!
So glad I'm not the only one who thought WTF when I first saw Druggdon or whatever....weird dragon pokemon thing. AND SAME WITH MEGA SLOWBRO. I was like...dude... how does he? I don't.....WHAT?!
ALSO, you got yourself a subscriber! I'm gonna be binge watching your videos now. ^_^
I confess: I like Probopass. I IV/EV'd one named Gosei and I use him extensively.
Honestly, when I think about it Gen 1 actually had a lot of pretty bad designs. Some things were woefully underdesigned (let's give a duck an onion and slap two extra tails on a bull) and some were a visual riot (Mr. Mime, Jynx, I wish I could delete you from my memory). But when I was 11 and there was no basis for comparison yet, of course I loved them all. Nowadays, I think Gen 3 had the best designs.
QQ I like druddigon
***** Oddly enough, Druddigon is the only Gen V Pokemon that a genwunner friend of mine really liked.
***** Why don't you say the same about Salamence line? Look at them for a second, they make no sense, and don't look good.
***** Look at his evolutionary line... they make no sense, and he looks dumb. What is with that vampire wings? Come on, don't just defend it because he is competitive good too.
***** Yea, because Salamence looks like a butterfly. Stop being nostalgic and defend the competitive strong, Salamence is a bad design.
ragmondead I love Druddigon too but you know its an opinion and you should respect it ***** well Charizard is just a fire breathing Dragon yet everyone ( more like 10 years old brats ) like It . oh and his X design was probably design by an edgy kid
Am I the only one who likes golem?
Darknix 975 golem's cool, but graveler doesn't deserve to evolve into him. golem just doesn't seem to fit geodude and graveler. he looks like he should be part of a different evo line.
Who Else But Zane ? true
what you said about beartic could also be said about ursaring
The funniest part of the video is "I don't know just give it a bunch of fucking hands. What about its head? I said give it a bunch of fucking hands. Ok, jeez."
I rewatch those few seconds of the video over and over again since it makes me laugh so much.
"Some Pokémon are ugly."
10/10
Best intro ever.
If I had to make a list, I'd rate it as...
10- BLAZIKEN: For some reason, I've never liked its design all that much. I think it has to do with being just way too human looking, which feels boring when compared to other starters.
9- FORRETRESS: It looks less like a bag worm and more like somebody's stomach was pulled inside out. Yech.
8- PELIPPER: I love Wingull, but always felt that Pelipper just sorta...ruined its simplicity with its awkward body shape.
7- DUSTOX: It looks like a something a kid made after finding his mom's vibrator and then taping a bunch of arts and crafts to in order to make a doll out of it. Hilarity ensues when he runs through the house with it while making airplane noises while mom is having the neighbors over.
6- LUCARIO: I had to FORCE myself to like this thing and I honestly have no idea why it ever got as popular as it did. Zoroark tried to be the next up in line, but never caught on despite being way cooler in both concept and design. Seriously though, a bipedal dog with spikes and dreadlocks? And its mega is even worse with all that red, ugh...
5- KROOKODILE: Its official art looks good, but...something about the way it appears in game doesn't sit right with me. It's almost like I WANT to like this thing, but can't for some reason. It's a shame too, since Sandile was so perfect and Krokorok was cool too.
4- CHESTNAUGHT: This guy...he's one of two starters who i wished had remained small. To suddenly give him slinky arms and legs after being diminutive for so long makes no sense. He should've completed the dwarven look they were going for by making him a small, burly tank like creature that could easily retreat into its shell.
3- PALKIA: Its a giant penis. Really, just look at it. Oh, and its also wearing high heels. In all seriousness though, its human shape just looks weird with its long neck. It reminds me of an ornate Khezu from monster hunter, which is also ugly, but that was designed to be that way.
2- SAMUROTT: The other "should have stayed small" guy. This always bugged me. Why does a bipedal otter that turns into another otter suddenly turn into a quadrupedal sea lion? They should have just continued in the same fashion and made Samurott a pint sized samurai Pokemon. Like, imagine Dewott's body shape and size, but add Samurott's features: Keep the mustache, turn the shell helmet into a subtlety more shogun looking affair with maybe a small addition of body armor pieces, and lastly, keep the tail and sword blades, which it could ACTUALLY USE properly due to still being bipedal. Seriously, a pint sized fully evolved starter would have been boss. Gen 5 dropped the ball with all the starters, but at least the other two look good.
1- MASQUERAIN: I, for the life of me, have NEVER liked this thing and that stems from the fact that, for the longest time, I had no idea what it was supposed to even be. Its anatomy makes no sense and its completely unappealing. Seeing it in ruby and sapphire at the time was bad, but then getting to see it move around in Pokemon Colosseum just made it worse. What I thought were wings weren't and what I thought were legs weren't. I looks awful, seriously. Like, I can identify what EVERY OTHER POKEMON in existence is supposed to be except for this thing. It's stupid and I hate it, every time I see this thing I inexplicably get mad and I blame the poor design.
+Clyde
but samurotts design makes sense.
You made a hipster version of Dookie's list. Congratulations.
+Clyde seriously dud you have no idea from pokemon almost alll of those you said are awsome desings so go play tetris and leave the people that they dont hate everything play pokemon
SnakeVenom Playz
It's a personal list. I don't have to like everything you do.
Wow. Most of these pokemon on the list do really look bad.
even you?!
even you?!
+Jordan Griffin Bruh what?
+Jordan Griffin Note the fact that he said most and not all. I'm sure he doesn't think Electrode looks bad considering its on the list. (Or at least mentioned can't remember)
Says the electrode fan😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😻
lol I was gonna make a vid like this and a 10 best...oh well it's not like there's a rule on ideas or something XD
I like to think that Amoonguss/Voltorb Darwinian-evolved to hunt humans and lure them by resembling Pokéballs
5:25 This is the funniest thing I saw all day!!!
Also 1st place makes me want to see Tamashi vs Dookie
The dragon type had no bad designs before gen 5?
Ahem
Dragonite.
+Elias Leikvoll I find him ok, but still prefer Gen IV-VI pseudo-legendary dragons
shuddup dragonite is life 😂😂👋
Hooww eell
Its hideous and cheap. Just like you.
you can think what you want two but in my opinion I love dragonite
Aether Knight
:)
"NUMBER 6!!! It's over designed!!"
And than
"NUMBER 5!!! Its just a rock with hands on it!!"
A.K.A. Underdesigned. Trully hate this list, and Geo Dude is one of the most amazing Pokémon in the history of this game. After Pikachu obviously.
Privé Trolling trolling trolling :-)
The whole 5th gen was a fail or most of it at least
My theory regarding Pokemon that look like pokeballs is that way back in time in the Pokemon universe, a person saw voltorb and decided to model the pokeballs after it...because it makes sense for an item that catches Pokemon to look like a Pokemon...and since voltorb is the closest Pokemon to looking like a ball, they chose it.
I mean, it wouldn't make sense to make an item for catching Pokemon look like a fucking geodude or wailord..
So for my comfort, I choose to believe that in the universe of Pokemon, voltorb came before the pokeball.
Personally, I'm quite fond of Barbaracle. I like the idea of a bunch of barnacles all working in tandem to act as arms/legs, with one as the head. It seems pretty interesting to me how Pokémon can have more than one head/living body part but still function as one thing. Dodrio and Spiritomb (being made out 108 spirits) are prime examples of this.
The sound he makes when he talks about garbodor is hilarious.
For me, I DO NOT hate Vanilluxe or Garbador. Vanilluxe is adorable and Garbador has a creative design. It's just to me, Vaniluxe looks too much like icee cream and not a Pokemon and Garbador just looks like everything hurts. Honestly, just because it now has face, doesn't make it anymore likable.We just feel more sorry that it can feel the rejection
There's actually a good concept for Slowbro having the Spiral Shellder as armor in a Mega Evolution. Hell, I even think the idea of the shell growing so big it begins to take over its body sounds dark, but it could work, almost like how evolution for one means just the same amount if not more for the other. Instead... we get a Slowbro dreidel. Fucking. FAIL.
So glad you brought back the top 10 videos!
Garbodor is actually pretty sensical. Trubbish obviously represents the waste we produce. Garbodor gaining such a massive size and so much "junk" stuck in him, is supposed to show an over production of waste and our lack of containment and how as a society we can ruin the environment. Is basically another grimer/muk koffing/weezing sort of ideal.
Let's be real, here: Back in the RBG era, nobody expected this hair-brained idea to become a multinational phenomenon. Nobody expected to go beyond 152, and frankly when you get down to it Pokemon was just a standard RPG with the twist that you could catch and train the monsters. Basically what I'm getting at is that Voltorb and Electrode are your standard "mimic" monsters that appear in most RPGs. Only in this game the treasure chests are balls, so the mimics are balls too.
So there you go. That's why Voltorb is a Pokeball. It's a mimic.
So Mega Slowbro has a theory. Slowbro didn't Mega, the Shellder did, and its connection to Slowbro gives Slowbro the boosts. Doesn't excuse the design, though.
Keep making these, they are fun watching!
