These will never matter unless other countries are factored in. Shitderace is a terrible starter and Rillaboom is better.

Rillaboom is so much objectively better design than the other two. Imagine not only being proud of having the same opinion as the "majority" cattle, but being too dumb to realize that majority is made out of fujos (inteleon) and furfags (cinderace). Embarrassing

Objectively correct list, especially decidueye as not only it got cucked by it's first stage prevo and incineroar but it's hisuian variant was immediately forgotten when it's other competitor was fucking samurott.

>Gen 1
Squirtle. Squirtle and Wartortle are great, but Blastoise is literally one of the worst Pokemon in Gen I.
>Gen 2
It's like a two-way tie between Typhlosion's line and Meganium. Totodile's line is one of the greatest evo-lines in this series. Compared to that, the others got fucked hard.
>Gen 3
No flops, the only generation where all the starters are cool as fuck and have good evolution lines. Blaziken is probably the one with the weakest design, but it's still miles better than anything that's come out afterwards.
>Gen IV
I have no idea, I've never played any gen past this point.

In short, big, silly and/or feminine adjacent pokemon are incredibly unpopular compared to lean, edgy and/or masculine adjacent pokemon.

Name worse. I'll wait.
>>58046416
I actually caught and used all of 'em. The occasional Nuzlocke. Battle Frontier. Living Dex. All those little misc. goals. I'd be lying if I said I haven't played the odd ROM hack that has Pokemon from other generations, but I would also be lying if I said I knew any of 'em from Adam. Most of them look worse than fakemon.

>Raticate
Looks like an actual animal. A giant rat. It would be stranger if such a creature did not exist among Pokemon. Is it amazing? Nope. But it sure as shit isn't the worst creature out there.
>Dugtrio
Yeah, alright. I agree.
>Seel & Dewgong
Some of the better looking Pokemon in the entire franchise purely for their simplicity of design. There's absolutely nothing wrong with either of them. Are they the most exciting to look at? Nope. But do they do what they're supposed to? Yes.
>Mr. Mime & Jynx
Let's throw Mewtwo, Drowzee, and Hypno into this one while we're at it. I've never liked humanoid Pokemon. I'm an easy sell when it comes to them being bad. Deoxys is the only one I like, and that's because it literally comes from outer space and is alien in composition. Humanoid done properly.
>Moltres
Bullshit. While it may be a weak aesthetic compared to best bird Zapdos and most handsome bird Articuno, it's still a fantastic bird and depicts exactly what it's all about.
>Blastoise
Grows an actual fucking cannon out of its shell. It's just not good. It is by far the least aesthetically pleasing, fully-evolved starter from gen I.

Sure, there ARE some worse designs in gen I, but Blastoise ranks pretty fucking low on the roster of good-looking compared to its prior stages of evolution. At least with Bulbasaur -> Venasaur you know what you're getting and get it as advertised.

>>Raticate
Is literally just a giant rat. It loses the cool red eyes and purple fur from rattata. A downgrade.
>>Seel & Dewgong
It's not the fact they're simple in design, it's the fact they're as mentioned above literal regular animals with a horn and nothing more. Seel is just Seal with an extra E. There was no creativity with that line.
>>Mr mime & jynx
I only hate humanoid pokemon when they look ugly like the two mentioned. Drowzee and Mewtwo is ok because they still look more like some form of animalistic monster.
>>Moltres
This design is actual abysmal dogshit, There is absolutely nothing cool about it. It looks like a naked rubber chicken lit on fire and it's shiny absolutely does not help it in that case, a total blunder in the bird trio.
>Grows an actual fucking cannon out of its shell.
Don't pretend like that isn't one of the coolest ideas for a water turtle-type of pokemon. I understand if you don't like the fact they look metallic or that it pivots away from wartortle but to say it's not good let alone one of the worst is just complete contrarianism.
