Voltorb and Electrode...give them a Great ball evolution...
Their shiny forms are blue/white, which is almost a Great Ball (and is probably
why they're blue/white).
I dont mind the way some pokemon actually look like the animals the're based off. Imo some of the coolest ones are basically their old animals, like Tauros.
What I dont like is when an Evolution looks exactly the same as its pre evo, a bit like Floatzel. I wish they;d done more to make it look different.
I agree on both counts. I like Farfetch'd, even if it may be a bit too "real" for some people. I don't even see it as a gimmick pokémon - it's as much of a gimmick as Cubone is with its skull, or Voltorb is with being a round thing. Why is Farfetch'd labelled "gimmick" while others with their own unique characteristics aren't?
I have the problem of distinguishing between Buisel and Floatsel, to the extent that I don't know which one comes first. I also have a small difficulty recognising between Pidgeotto and Pidgeot - aside from the hairdo they're pretty much identical.
Combee is a honey comb with three faces, with a couple wings. Pretty self-explanatory.
Also, several of the designs for fourth generation Pokemon are somewhat disappointing, even now. It seems like the imagination of some of the designers have exausted themselves. Many fourth gens Pokemon seems to be stealing traits of past Pokemon, and some basically duplicates of there animal counterparts.
Combee is just stupid.
Lack of imagination: examples?
Probably the diglett family for me. I mean dugtrio was alright but diglett was just a head poking out of the ground with an unknown body. They could have had like a thing that looked more like a real mole that's body disappeared underground upon evoluton, instead of a whack a mole style thing.
I was going to say Diglett too. I know it's one of the original ones, and therefore we're not allowed to criticise them, but y'know, a dome on the ground isn't a good pokémon. Its evolution doesn't make any kind of sense either - why does it triplicate? Magnemite at least has a reason for it.
