Tell us what you think of the Pokemon above....

[Okido]

Definitely one of my favorite Pokémon of this most recent generation, probably one of my new favorites in general too. I really do like pretty much every aspect of this thing, from concept to design to execution — it's honestly about time we had a Poison-type representing a toxic mineral, and it really nailed it in a unique and unexpected way. (And how can you say no to that funny little cone face?)

Orthworm

 

[toastghost]

i'm just underwhelmed

morpeko

 

[Die-Hard Dragon Devotee]

It's......meh. Probably one of my least favorite Dark types, honestly.

Bombirdier

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

It's my least favorite of the Titans, personally; but its by no means something I... dislike per se. The subversion of the 'delivery stork' trope is kinda amusing and its communicated decently by its subtly smug-looking face and that unique ability in particular.

Rotom

 

[Camille]

I like its form gimmick and the method of obtaining in in the Sinnoh games.
Relicanth

 

[Dubious Disc]

This is one of those mon that I almost never think about lol. With that said, I think it's sort of cool; there's nothing super outstanding about it, but the fact that it's apparently a "perfect life-form" that has just chilled and vibed for the past hundred million years is neat.

Sandy Shocks

 

[montrovy]

Super cool!! I love most all of the ancient paradox mons but Sandy Shocks is really up there for me - the way it moves is a bit goofy but I think that's part of the fun with it for sure

Mienshao

 

[Pasio]

I'm still shocked that its official pronunciation is "Meen-shao" instead of "Me-in-shao". Every time I look at Mienfoo's angry expression I now just think "Mean-foo" and find that a little funny.

Tornadus

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

It's a regrettably common opinion that this Pokemon and its brethren are saddled with so I'm not exactly breaking new ground when I say this, but I just never liked the genies/Kami group. Even putting aside how identical the original three wind spirits were, even the base genie design alone is honestly kinda uninteresting and ugly. The Therian forms introduced later... don't even really help even despite the physiological changes and each of them representing a different animal. They all just feel like the same guy but shaped into an animal, which normally wouldn't even really be a problem for me as I think the "normal human head on an otherwise animal body" would be enticingly creepy, but it basically has the same facial personality and overall palette as its original genie form, and it altogether just blends in so much rather than that I just basically see the same guy over and over and over until I just don't want to see it anymore.

Houndstone

 

[toastghost]

rare paldean pokemon i like

regigigas

 

[Okido]

It's cute, I think its concept and design is very neat, I like it. Now if only it was possible to actually use the thing to its full potential without the use of some silly Skill Swap doubles shenanigans. Maybe someday it'll get a shiny new Hidden Ability and finally break free from the shackles of Slow Start... right?

Chimecho

 

[toastghost]

i think it's cute, but ultimately forgettable. i don't really know why it got a baby prevo out of all the pokemon that could've gotten one (like lapras..)

absol

 

[Juliyet]

A cool mon for sure. Neat look and strangely iconic. Not much to say here, just a super solid one

Raboot

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

I guess I like this thing the most out of its entire evolutionary line, but honestly that isn't saying much since I generally have apathetic-to-negative things to say about the entire Gen 8 starter roster, and I won't say I outright like it on its own, really. The hoodie-like appearance of its body is certainly peculiar and something that's just unceremoniously dropped once it becomes one of my most hated starters, but I'd say that's a moot point since in general there's plenty of middle-stage starters that sort of lose a unique vibe exclusive to themselves once they become their final evo (E.g. Quilava, Drizzile, Bayleef, Grovyle, Wartortle etc.). That's the most I can say about it.

Xurkitree

 

[Dubious Disc]

One of my favorite Ultra Beasts. I like its electric-wiring design (and how it doesn't have a face), and it's got a cool-sounding name too.

Kartana

 

[Okido]

Not a UB that I tend to think about as often as the rest, but still just as cool; it has a great type combo and I appreciate it a lot. Fun fact that I love about Kartana's design — its X-shaped face/"mouth" is based on the origami shape pakupaku (well-known in English as a "chatterbox" or "paper fortune teller").

Spoiler

("pakupaku" is also onomatopoeia for eating!)

Celesteela

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

Celesteela is one of my favorite Ultra Beasts. When it was released, I pretty much figured out near-immediately it was a nod to the "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter/The Tale of Princess Kaguya" fairy tale of Japan, and I gotta say, they managed to deliver on that theme with splendor, from those imposing bamboo rocketry, to the main body giving the visage of a towering alien regent without looking that much humanoid/"waifumon"-ish despite both the presence of 'hair' and a 'dress/cloak'. I also got to appreciate that, like Xurkitree, it's another creature evocative of plants without outright bluntly being a plant by virtue of the bamboo thematics, right down to actually being one of the few non-Grass Pokemon to learn Leech Seed!

Buzzwole.

 

[Juliyet]

Eh... It's funny, but nothing I really think about that much

Pheromosa

 

[toastghost]

it's.. fine? i think out of all the ultra beasts its the weakest design. I think it looks interesting, I'm not sure why it's fighting type but more power to it i guess

nihilego

 

[R.O.B.]

Really cool name, just above average design.
