favourite new pokemon in sv? :]

Honestly, I think most of the new sv pokemon suck in design :[ a lot of my favorites are just alternate forms or evolutions of older pokemon cuz they’re really good at making pre-existing designs cooler but, so many of the gen 9 newbies just. Feel bare or unfinished. Idk, maybe it’s just me. Like I really wanna like Orthworm, but the eyes kill the entire appeal, and the evolutions of the starters all suck ass, and I love Tadbulb but can’t stand looking at Bellibolt, Palafin’s battle form is hard to look at, Flamigo makes me mad because the design is so uninspired, and I wanna like Glimmora so bad but they animated it to shoot all of its attacks out of its ass (made me put it away in a box because I was so tired of looking at that), and Gimmighoul’s evolution is so ugly despite it being so hard to get that it made me actually mad when I finally evolved it.

Complaining aside, I guess my favorites are between Todsecruel, Spidops, Lokix, Clodsire, Dachsbun, Tadbulb, Farigraf, Scovillain, Slither Wing, Iron Treads, and Miraidon. If I had to pick, probably Todsecruel.

#this game made me unironically miss sword and sheild which is always a bad sign #i esp miss the swsh pokedex. even if the starter lines were awful everything else slapped #and i also miss peony. every day I miss him #also tinkatonk seems to be a fan favorite which ok godspeed but personally i dont like the design either sorry fellas :[ #I was glad to get so many new bug pokemon although i was also dissapointed by some of them and really you cannot beat orbeetle #like that set the bar so high for me ORBEETLE MY BELOVED #pokemon spoilers #pokemon scarlet and violet #it was fun to see spain as a reigon though one of the towns even reminded me of my grandmas village #but they did do what i was afraid they would do aka mix spanish-speaking culturesd together which is. not great and appropriative #like fuecocos evo line sucks specifically because of how it appropriates things like. sombreros and day of the dead #day of the dead is definetly not a spanish tradition because it was developed from indigenous practices DESPITE spaniards colonizing them #shakes my head smh
