514. Simisear
So this is the stoner Pokemon, right? You cant look at that face and that pose and not tell me its some sort of taking life easy hippie. Then again, the second image on its Bulbapedia page is of it looking pretty angry, so maybe thats not the case. Disregarding the face and stance, I really like Simisears color scheme, and its fur coat-esque accessory. The flame-shaped hair is also a nice touch. This ones cool (well, not literally). A

707. Klefki
One of the things I did a few weeks ago was look up unpopular Pokemon just to see who everybody hates. Spoilers: I actually like a few of those designs, like, a lot. Klefki, however, is not one of them. While I admire the balls-out audacity to design a Pokemon based on a keychain, it just feels sort of...uninspired? Like I dont get a sense of what this Pokemon is about. The different keys do different things, I guess? And it has a weird horn thing? I dont know. I think a design like this could work with some tweaks, maybe streamlining things a little. I do appreciate, again, the audacity of Klefki, but its not enough to avoid the bottom tier. D

402. Kricketune
Theres a lot going on with Kricketune. Its got this voluptuous mustache, which I would not normally expect to see on a bug Pokemon; long antennae that give its upper body an M shape; and a body with string-like markings reminiscent of a cello. Also there are wings and bladed limbs. Its all pretty cool! I do think you could subtract any one of those facets and still retain the essence of the design, which maybe says to me that theres too much going on, but I like all of it enough that it doesnt bother me. The cello is the most interesting part to me, and given that its name has a musical reference, I feel like thats intentional. Kricketune is like a low B/high C. Ill be charitable and say B.

263. Zigzagoon
This is basically a raccoon with spiky fur meant to simulate electricity, yes? Although reading the description its not electric. So who knows. (Well, you probably do.) Its a fairly simple design, but I like it; it has character. Its probably the only Pokemon so far I could see having as a pet, which is a huge point in its favor. I find other Pokemon cuter, but Zigzagoon can play fetch. Yes, I know its a raccoon, but it looks a bit dog-like. The zippity zoopity fur is a huge plus. Anyway, very cute, good proof that sometimes simpler designs are good too. A

224. Octillery
This is basically a red octopus with yellow suction cups. I have a similar reaction to Octillery as I do to Zigzagoon, but the design feels a bit plainer. Red and yellow is good to combine, but part of me wants some sort of colorful headpiece, like Hawlucha. It already has the lines around its eyes. Did they just forget to color inside them? I dont know. Not really feeling this one. C
