Another reason I think this "Pokemon are ugly Nowadays" is true BS is, that their bad opinions ruins your imagination and how you feel about what you like.
Maybe it's just my anxiety I'm diagnosed with, but bad opinions on something you like is almost like cyber-bullying and since I know what cyber-bullying is, and we know committing suicide is not a option, it can be healed.

What's with all the Chandelure hate? Personally, I think it is one of the best ever designs for a pokemon: it's an animated chandier, what else screams 'haunted' or 'ghost' more than that?! It just looks cool too!
 
^ I love Chandelure. It's strong.

^ This. Chandelure is actually one of my favorite Pokemon of all time! It looks neat, is fitting imagery for Ghost-type, and is fairly original in aesthetic.

I think that most of the designs for the newer Pokemon are better than the originals. Unova has way more Pokemon that I like than the other regions. But still there are some ugly looking ones this region:
- Stunfisk
- Trubbish/Garbdor
- Kami Trio

BUT anyone who holds the opinion that ALL Gen V Pokes are worse than ALL gen I pokes is clearly wrong. There are good and bad designs in both groups.

I don't think anyone said that at all, and everyone would agree on that last sentence.

It feels to me like this is becoming one of those pro/anti-Kanto nostalgia bias threads rather than just sticking to the topic of looking at the physical aesthetics of each generation sets of pokemon.

If an STD took the form of a Pokemon... It'd be a Sigilyph... Sounds like Syphilis.. and looks like he caught it too!
 
@Sayho: But there have been posts in that spirit, and I was going along with what Larry said, remember?

Well just know that those Kanto nostalgia biased posters don't speak for everyone, and that there ARE Generation I players such as myself who can separate the physical looks of a particular generation set of pokemon apart from everything else that's associated with a particular generation of pokemon (the quality of it's anime adaptation counterpart, game mechanics, game moves, cards, promotion, whether or not you had grown up during that generation, etc.).

Not a tool
Each generation has its goods and its bads. People are sometimes just blinded to this fact because they're accustomed to the pokemon of whatever gen they're playing. Even I thought a bunch of the gen V designs were ugly as heck, but they grew on me over time (even though I still despise a few of them, as I do for every generation)
 
Fine, fine, if it's such a big deal I exempt you from my remark. ^_^

I think that gen 1 does get a lot of undeserved credit just for being THA ORIGINNUL though.

They are getting more ridiculous and silly looking for sure which is a major downside really, but that doesn't mean there not good.

Hell Buizel and Excadrill are some of my favourite Pokemon now.

Bibarel's adorable.
But as a rule of thumb the first ones you meet are closest to your heart. Also, for unoriginal go look at Ponyta/Rapidash. OMG A FLAMING HORSE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THEM BEFORE.

Forgot that one, sorry.

Eh, ragazzo!
People are delusional. Every generation had their plus and minuses.

Anyway, some Pokemon are ugly, but they are a cool kind of ugly. Look at the Regis. They aren't pretty, but they just drip down with how awesome they look.

I wouldn't say there is a bad Pokemon design, but some are more creative than others.
