Haha, doesn't sound so bad when you put it like that.

more like chumps like you whined that he was too hard so they moved Wallace in to make things easier.

Which would make sense if he wasn't already the second weakest Champion and didn't get his shit wrecked by any and every fire type :p

Nah, Steven's okay. They're all friends.

Uhh, anyways, I think I'll go through them in that sequence over the next few months. :P

You should just make a Linkish Berry.

That's what I plan on doing :P
(Pika with Link Hat lol)

I will try to SS-ize an avy before its release, don't know exactly what I'll do yet though.
 
Here's a good one: As far as Pokémon designs go, Odd Gens > Even Gens. Gen II and IV have far too many turd designs and pointless evolutions to existing Pokémon. Whoever was behind

True, but Electivire and Weavile are amazing from a competitive standpoint.

And Leafeon is god.

Get that away from my eyes. So bad.

Eh, I don't tend to lump entire Generations of designs together. They've pretty much all got their share of ones I like and others I don't.

The only one I was mostly negative about off the bat was an odd numbered one, Gen 5, and even that had plenty that I warmed up to.
 
Hey, there were good ones in 4...

and some aren't bad...

...but then again, 4th gen was pretty odd in designs. Hard for me to find standouts.
 
Oh god, Tympole. I remember when jpgs of him started popping up on Gaf, and I thought it was some joke from an obscure anime. I had no clue it was an actual Pokemon./sobad
 
I loved the new evolutions in Gen 4 for the most part, part of why I love that gen so much in fact.

Rhyperior is great, one of the better evolutions (compared to Lickilicky, Tangrowth, Probopass, Froslass and Ambipom, which are my own personal bottom-tier.)

Cross-generational Gen 4 evolutions I loved or really liked:

Cross-generational Gen 4 evolutions that I thought were OK:

Aside from most of the Gen 3 Pokemon being hideous, worthless, or padded by being cloned for double battles, I also didn't like how it didn't have many callbacks to earlier gens. Gen 4 was awesome because we got a great deal of fanservice, as well as many evolution lines actually becoming viable. Electivire is a force to be reckoned with.
 
I love most of the Gen 4 evolutions except for Tangrowth, Rhyperior, Magmortar, Porygon-Z, and Probopass. Those are abysmal Pokemon designs

he was what had me saying "all these leaks have to be false....right?"
I'd say i generally liked most of what was in gen 2 and 4 pokemon-wise, except for lickitung evolution...ugh so bad. But honestly after gen 4/5 i can honestly say I'd not even be the least bit sad if they did nothing (evolution, pre-evo wise) with the first 493 ever again.
 
I think I would consider Froslass to be the worst design in all of Pokemon.

Tangrowth isn't that bad, but it's not too good. It's the best one of my bottom-tiers, though. He's like the Captain Falcon of Gen 4 cross-gen designs.

TBH Tangela already looked like a mess. Gen 1 is full of such flaws.

Honestly, gen 1 just gets away with being seen as good because it was the first. The majority of it's evolutions consisted of "omg now it's bigger" and "omg now there are 2/3 of them combined" with next to no other significant changes. On top of this there were some bad/boring designs to begin with before those types of evolutions occurred (grimer, voltorb)
