!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Gengar is the only Pokémon that comes to mind as not being a clear aesthetic upgrade over its previous evolutionary stage.
Gengar is a recoloured Clefable.
Uh, Dragonite exists. Cool blue dragon-snake, cooler blue dragon snake, then bam! Derp the Orange Dragon with a gut, out of nowhere...
Are you serious!? First of all, Haunter is indeed S-tier design, but so is Gengar???
Here’s a list of a FEW middle evos who have far better designs than their first/last evos: Wartortle, Dragonair, Arctibax, Dolliv, Rhydon, Dottler — I could go on….!
Am ready, willing, and able to fight to the death over these opinions, so come at me!!!
Going from Haunter to Gengar, they added arms and legs and big square teeth. All of which are functionally unnecessary for a ghost. And the overall aesthetic went from "scary" to "goofy".
Goofy kinda makes sense, if you go by their highlight episode they premiered in (not counting ep.1 for Gengar).
But they're so cute ♥️
Hermesturtle is a worse design than Blastoise IMO. Looks like water/flying
There is no way you just said that
Wartortle only makes sense to me if Blastoise was water/flying imo
