RE: Worst Pokemon Designs?
I think the problem with megaheracross is its hands, they balloon up and get really big for its body, but its claws stay the same, it's a matter of proportions, when you see it, the hands are more noticeable than its face; I don't get why that happens, since its legs remain exactly the same way as before.
If you can draw, do the test, give the mega the hands of regular heracross (smaller, even) and see if it looks better.
Mega gardevoir is not fat, actually, if anything she became even thinner, it's the dress that is huge.
Delphox is terrible, as I've said before. The proportions are just human enough to enter the uncanny valley, and the ear hair is just too large, not to mention the hobo tunic and the fact that it's of a stronger color than those of its evolutions, making it look even larger.
Braixen is awesome, in battle, she twirls her wand and does a badass flourish when she tucks it in her tail, and she has a cute skirt; furry connections aside, best middle starter ever.
One I really really dislike is prinplup, and I don't know why exactly, it's just so... boring? grumpy? I wish I could pinpoint it.
I don't care about the hated object pokemon, really, if they are well designed, it's all good; garbodor makes perfect sense when you compare it to totoro, it's a way of making a disgusting (by concept) creature more likable, and it works, many people say that trubbish is adorable. The vaniluxe line... well, they are well designed for their concept, but I think that concept was unnecessary and raises too many issues. If you want to make an ice cream inspired pokemon, fine, but add something more, like an ice cream snail with a conic shell that looks like an ice cream when upside down, not just ice cream because that's stupid. They severely lack subtlety; vaniluxe even has a smile drawn on its back.
