@Wagomu:
I… really don't get your actual problem with the design.
I give you a tip. It's this thing called personal preference. :ninja:
Like I don't know, you expect me to write a dissertation analysing form, silouhette, color harmony, etc on why Empoleon is a stupid looking thing? It just looks stupid to me that's why I make fun of it.
I mean what's the reasoning of people that think Garbardor is an ugly piece of trash. My guess something like "it's a garbage bag pokemon!"
But if you want some kind of serious reason, Empoleon does in no way look majestic to me like I want a final evolution penguin pokemon to look. He's just a fat lump of stupid to me.
The only reason for Empoleon to look as stupid as he does is that Empoleon is actually a Piplup mecha and in each of them is a Piplup controlling it.

Also I have to correct myself. Froakie was pretty ok as a water starter after all can't hate something that turns into Greninja.
