Evolution of Pokemon Designs - Gen 1

[RemptonGames]

This video is the first in a series I am working on about the designs of Pokemon from different generations, and how designs have changed as time goes on. I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic - are there any points that you think I missed or got wrong? Is there anything you would like to see in future videos regarding later generations? And more generally, what do you think about Gen 1 designs, and what are your favorite generations from a design perspective?

Chewtle is great

Cool analysis! Indeed, Gen 1 is unique in that many early designs were literally just "X as a monster" and the variety of typings and abilities came later on. My favorites are cute ones like Sandshrew or the starters, but others like Snorlax are cool too. I don't like some of the gross ones like Grimer, Magmar or Gloom, but I understand that they were a product of their time.
