Good Pokémon with bad evolutions
EDIT: It appears that I put this in misc.disscussion. Can a mod please move it to pokemon discussion, I wasn't thinking at the time X_X
First of all, I'd like to say that I used the search feature with varying keywords, yet I didn't find anything.
This thread is about Pokémon that you liked, but they ended up having really crappy evolutions.
I'd like to talk about Oddish. It was a great Pokémon, it had great focus points. With soft eyes, a cute mouth and large leaves, it was a good Pokémon that pulled off being masculine and had a lot of potential for a good evolution. They could've made it more humanoid in appearance, or made it into a large tree Pokémon like Shiftry or Victreebel. Here is an example of what they could've done.
But instead they made Gloom. I was utterly disappointed with it. One of Oddish's main parts that made it a great Pokemon was the cute little mouth. they took that feature away and replaced it with an overly large retarded mouth. I hate how they added all the droll onto Gloom, it was a real turn off. even the name "Gloom" sucks. they replaced Oddish's cute little eyes with drooping eyes that add to the dopiness of it. The designers could've made it have more advanced looking leaves, but instead they placed a dead bulb on top really, placing a little squished apple-looking thing on a Pokemon is an automatic turn-off. All they did to Change Oddish's anatomy is giving it a flimsy pair arms. Altogether Gloom looks like a drunken plant that you would find wandering across a highway at 2am.
Now onto Vileplume. I hated this Pokemon. It looks as though they wanted to regain the Pokemons beauty after looking like a drunk for a whole evolutionary stage, but they did terrible at it. Oddish could pull off cute eyes and a small mouth and still look masculine, like a little boy. But they tried the same for Vileplume, and failed. you would expect a full-evolution to be string and intimidating, not small and the same size as it's pre-evose. The flower didn't help either. It was too big for it's body and overshadowed it.
Lastly, time for Bellsossom. it completely stripped Oddish of the little pride it still had left. When I heard Oddish had a new evolution coming, I got excited. I was hoping it would be masculine to give Oddish some hope, and to make it so Oddish had one female evolution and one male one. I was wrong. So very wrong. Bellossom has got to be the most disappointing Pokemon ever. Not only did it look too-feminine, it looked weak. IMO they should've made it a separate Pokemon from the Oddish line. It looks nothing like them, except for it's eyes. I don't even like it's hula-dancer theme. And wtf is it shorter than Oddish?

Woah, I had to get that off my chest. So how about you guys?
