I agree. Its design seems... forced. Too cartoonish, but not in the "generic cartoonish" sense Wingull has.I've never been the biggest fan of Pelipper. Something about it just feels off.
OwensJB said:and it can eat whale Pokemon.
I didn't actually know that bit before, and I find it hard to envision how such large Pokemon like Whaloh (Wailord) could be food for something like Dadarin (Dhelmise).
Dhelmise is really ugly and sort of scary when you think about how its only living part is the green seaweed on the anchor and it can eat whale Pokemon.
I think Simisear is decent looking. I mean it’s not one of the best or most creatively designed Pokémon ever but it also is not the mess that is known as Lickilicky. At least it tries to be different from Infernape.The elemental monkeys from gen 5, especially Simisage and Simisear. Musharna also comes to mind, at least when it opens its eyes.
That said, there isn't a single pokemon I actually hate design-wise (I do dislike Pikachu for it's overhyped status, but I do like the rest of its evo).

The Slakoth line are based on sloths though, with Slaking being based on the extinct giant ground sloths that only went extinct several thousand years ago.We have waaaaaay too many primate Pokémon, a lot of which overlap type-wise.

Well same could be said for the ‘cat, bird, dog, and mice/rodent’ Pokémon so your point is sort of invalid to the complaint. A lot of those Pokémon also share typings. We’ve got seven Water types based on birds with three of them being ducks (five if you throw in Farfetch’d and Sirfetch’d to the mix), ten Electric rodents, and four dog based Pokémon that are Fire types (five if you think Entei is a dog).We have waaaaaay too many primate Pokémon, a lot of which overlap type-wise.

The Darumaka line also seems more based on darumas than primates, but I kinda see where you're going with Darmanitan having the same knuckle stance like gorillas do.
I disagree. They’re spread throughout generations relatively well (people can argue about the elemental monkeys but I think they’re fine). 24/~900 isn’t too much. They all have different designs inspirations and aren’t based on the same monkey.We have waaaaaay too many primate Pokémon, a lot of which overlap type-wise.
