Imagine if in Gen3 Pokemon went with the aesthetic of the beta designs? It probably wouldn't be as successful, but I would have preferred it as a teen nongay male

It would have been flop
>BUT I WAS AN INSECURE TEEN AT THE TIME
okay? Go play SMT o algo, let the kids enjoy their monster catching game, insecure teens were never the target audience

Let's look at the historically most popular Pokemon aside from Pickey Mouse>Charizard
>Gengar
>Mewtwo
>Scyther
>Scizor
>Absol
>Greninja
>Krookodile
>Lucario
>Garchomp
It's clear that the fanbase overall prefers "cool" and even "edgy" designs but they double down on plushmon chasing the Pikachu dragon they'll never strike gold with twice and silly shit like increasingly unanimated objectmon. It would probably be more popular if at least half of every Gen was cool/edgy

They made a pokemon that looks like that in gen 8 and it just looks dumb and really out of place. Pokemon's art style has a lot of problems (none of which started in gen 3) but the absence of abstract crystaline ghost dogs isn't one of them.

It's truly not controversial to say that if you prefer cute over cool that you're a fag.

I have no problem with the franchise being an assortment of monsters, beasts, supernatural or whatever. I don't mind if they are cool or cute or weird, there are plenty of things like yokai which are just possesed objects and plenty of things like fairies and gnomes that can be classified as "cute".My problem is with GF intentionally shaving down scary or cool elements of designs while in the development stage for no apparent reason, though i suspect most of it is for merchandising.

most people moved onto other things as they got older, but you're still bitterly consuming the same media you already grew out of 20 years ago
pokemon fans are no different than bronies and disney adults

That's why you play Digimon instead if you're that much of a gigafaggot
>but it's not as popular~
