I think you mean reductive. And I personally think all the complaints about Yayakoma and Elikiteru are valid. Like I said, there are only so many bad designs that people can tolerate before they start seeing things in a negative manner. Imo, Yayakoma is essentially a badly-drawn Taillow and Elikiteru looks like a quadrupedal Mawile. I can't justify their designs. :x

actually yayakoma looks like a finch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finch The bird in the top right looks almost just like it.

Aww yeah new Pokemon! I really like Yamchan and Elikiteru. Yayakoma looks a little too plain, but I guess it is only a regional bird.

Their source animals happen to look similar. However, they are some differences. Tailow has shorter legs, a different styled beak, there tail feathers are different, etc.

Let's go to the beach, each.
That's nice, but your opinion doesn't really mean that much in the grand scheme of things, meanwhile, to many of us, we like the new Pokemon designs, heck and some are just excited for new reveals, so keep the bashing negative unproductive posts to yourself.

I'm pretty sure we're allowed to voice both positive and negative opinions. We're on a forum after all. :p

Anyway, I only stan for Yancham and Gogoat at the moment. Oddly enough, I'm not upset about getting a second panda Pokemon because Yancham looks a lot more like a traditional panda than Spinda does. And I don't think we've ever had a goat Pokemon before (unless Arceus counts lol). I absolutely love original designs. Kudos to Game Freak for creating those two cuties. :3

Eh, ragazzo!
How in the world is a lizard with the motif of a parabolic trough (I'm sticking with this until proven otherwise) a terrible idea? It seems to capture the idea that lizards increase their body heat in the sun, while parabolic troughs can capture sunlight for electricity. But the two together, and you have a good reason, and you have a good motif. Notice that the ears can make a U shape, in other words, a parabola.

I'm confused, did we come here to bash or to speculate?
I don't know anymore. It's hard to tell with people on these types of threads.

I'm just explaining what I think the lizard thing is supposed to be...

Otherwise, what would large ears mean?

Er I didn't know that expressing a negative opinion counts as bashing. Srsly, the way some people act around here it's like it's a crime to say anything remotely bad about the new Pokemon. I didn't see any one getting upset over the gen 1 Pokemon bashing from a few pages ago. Sheesh. To be honest tho I love all the new Pokemon but I'm waiting to see the others before I plan my team.

Only that you can ride in the main city apparently. The rug looking thing could be a key item that will allow you to ride it

saying something has no real reason to be a pokemon and is a terrible design is bashing. If you say you don't like that pokemon because of it's design is fine. There is a difference

only in the main city? I hope not that would be a big let down :(
