I strongly recommend that you play gen 7, maybe even just USUM!I'm actually a fan of Bruxish. The over the top colors and features, obviously meant to be slightly uncanny, are for some reason really appealing to me. I appreciate gen 7 for having some really unique and perplexing designs that have managed to stick in my mind even though I've never played a single alola game. Don't let me stop you from hating though, you shouldn't ever let someone gaslight you into thinking a pokemon design is good or bad
I played since Gen 1 and my favorite used to be Gen 3. But when I tried USUM a year ago, Gen 3 is still my favorite but Gen 7 is now a very close second.
