Most Creative Kanto Pokémon
This is inspired by two groups of people;
-Those who always rag on generations that AREN'T from the era of GRBY, and insist that no other gen will surpass the originally of pokémon initially located in Kanto.
-Those who always rag on Kanto for having uninspired ideas and a severe lack of creativity.
The topic itself is pretty straightforward- Select a pokémon from Kanto that you feel was particularly ingenious, and explain why you think so.
Electabuzz and Magmar both get my vote. For starters, it's incredibly difficult to determine just exactly what the hell they're based on, if anything. Especially Magmar, who seems like the type of fictional creature to spring forth from the mind of a mad genius. But despite the fact it's hard to figure out how Gamefreak managed to conjure up these guys, they just look downright cool. Electabuzz, with it's rather portly build, yet ferocious face and muscular arms and Magmar with it's duck bill, head-boobs and multiple features including protruding spikes and strange body patterns.
Pikachu and Raichu are also up there too. Yes, they're obviously based on some sort of rodent/lagomorph, but so what? They both have a lot of characteristics and design ideas that make them really unique critters, at least in my opinion. I've noticed a lot of people seem to overlook this for one reason or another, though it usually stems from the line being 'overated'.
Runners-up include the likes of the two Hitmons, Victreebel's Pitcher Plant Posse and the Bulbasaur clan.

). Kabutops seems to have something in common with trilobites as well; however, the large, metallic claws growing out of its arms, coupled with the rib like extentions of its verebrae make it the coolest Pokémon ever.
