Take a gander at what Nintendo has to offer.

• The first one looks like Trecko after undergoing a sex change operation. It also creeps me out that it's standing on two paper-thin... things. Instead of legs.
• A Fire-Rabit-Pig. What the hell Japan?
• This is by far the worst of the three, and one of the worst, if on the worst, Pokémon ever conceived. It's creepy as hell, it looks like a dead clown, I'll have nightmares because of this shit for sure, and, worst of all, I know this will be the one that I'll choose. In my head, it keeps saying

"The voices are telling me to kill you."

• Tsutarja
• Pokabu
• Mijumaru
  

What are the names? You didn't say them.

" You where beat "

They should have stopped at 150.

Yeah, I apologize, but this is old as hell.
 
Edit: Oh, hey, and screw you!  I really love their looks.  You guys just need to let go of your damn nostalgia for the old ones.  Pignition, Wotter and that green snake freak are cool.

" They should have stopped at 151. "

Those look fucking awful

I wish they would just stick to normal looking designs and portmanteaus like the original Pokemon :(

Yeah, because Porygon and Lickitung are normal and non-generic designs. "

I like the smug lizard

" @ArbitraryWater: 

Ability to transform ala Ditto, or something. "

The smug lizard and fire pig look sweet, the last one not so much.

" @FluxWaveZ: Evolutions usually don't rectify. They make it worst.
 
And I'm pretty sure that, whether I'm blinded by nostalgia or not, this looks pretty fucking retarded and there is nothing equivalently bad in Generation I or II. Same thing for its evolution. Also, there is a Pokémon that turns into furniture. Give me a break.
 
And let's not forget Spiritomb. "

That lizard thing is stupid, but I don't mind the other two. In fact, the pig almost looks like something that would have fit in with the first two generations. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been the fire type in Gold and Silver instead of Cyndaquil (though I would have been one sad panda if Cyndaquil hadn't been around)

I don't understand why they can't release a new game with the old Pokemon. What, 500 not enough for you're game? The old pokemon can easily be identified as actual animals in our world. Charmander is a lizard, Bulbasaur is a frog, and Squirtle is a turtle. Same with the gold and silver ones, and even some of the Ruby/ Sapphire ones. But now, it just looks like they spent an afternoon in Spore looking for something EXTREME!!!!!!!

All Pokemon after the 2nd generation do not actually exist.

Smugleaf is a pimp you take that shit back.
 
@FluxWaveZ:
A lot of the original Pokemon were based on wild life because it was inspired by the hobby of bug collecting.

Geodude and Golem are sentient rocks. Abra is reminiscent of a fox. Lickitung is a chameleon, etc. And I did play the old school pokemon, but I don't play the new ones because the developers have lost all creativity. 

And, wtf are you talking about referring to the evolutions?  Tell me one Pokemon starter that looks worst when it's fully evolved!

" @FluxWaveZ: A lot of the original Pokemon were based on wild life because it was inspired by the hobby of bug collecting. "

I thought part of the appeal for a new pokemon game was new pokemon.
 
Seriously, people need to stop nitpicking.   If you want old pokemon, go play Heartgold/Soulsilver which was JUST RELEASED.

That's pretty ignorant considering you haven't played the newer gen games. I thought Diamond and Pearl were very well put together.  I think the starters are fine(Smugleaf is awesome!). The worst batch was gen 3 for sure. "

I don't really understand why people claim 'worst designs ever!' every time new Pokemon are announced.  
Typically, it takes me a bit to get used to them, but claiming "all after the original/second gen games are bad" because you never played anything past those games is rather silly.
 
Plenty of the designs from the first two generations were bizarre, or even bad and the only reason so many accept them is because of nostalgia.  Those are the ones they remeber using and seeing on TV  when they were growing up.

I love how this happens every time a new Pokemon game comes out. Every time they're all the worst Pokemon ever, and clearly this is where the series has "jumped the shark," despite the fact that each game is actually getting better (even if incrementally). In the end you're favorite pokemon can be traded to it and you can still raise them. You don't even have to USE the new Pokemon.
 
And are people actually arguing AGAINST change? Are you serious? You don't see the intrinsic value of adding more Pokemon? Sure they're not all going to be shiners, but frankly I like these starters a hell of a lot better than the likes of Chikorita and Torchic. Stop living in the past.

I particularly like the bad cut-out job, but I think the first one looks good. The others look pretty awful.

Is the fire pigs name really Pignition? cause that is an awesome name. I  didn't really like any of these when I first saw them, but I'm starting to "warm up" to the pig, I'm also thinking that while the water type has the worst design of any water starter ever, seeing what it's based on, it's evolutions could be pretty awesome looking.

I've always liked the pig Pokemon.  It looks like a natural Pokemon, which is something you can't say about quite a few Pokemon.  I do agree that it fits the original Pokemon template, which is pretty much the highest praise you can give a Pokemon nowadays.

• I like the green one.  He's got his collar popped and is acting all super-chill, with a look on his face that says "I could get some sweet Water Pokemon ass anytime I wanted - and you know it".
• The pig is clearly an imbecile.
• The last one looks like his guide dog has just run out in front of a truck.
  

No matter how crappy they look I'm sure most of you will buy the game.

First 150 Pokémon were great. After that it went bad way fast.

" No matter how crappy they look I'm sure most of you will buy the game. "

I know the child version of you disagrees, but most Pokemon are kind of stupid looking. Even generation one starters. I don't see how a fire pig is any less stupid than a turtle with water cannons or a tortoise with a flower on its back. Im sure you were so deep in the koolaid for gen 1 you didn't even notice how retarded Mr. Mime looked. Its all nostalgia.

What's the correlation?  People can think a particular aspect of a game is stupid or bad, but like the game anyways and be interested in it. "

I don't like the grass type.The other ones are cute as hell.I will always love me some pokemanz. 
I'm going to choose the Fire type this time.Pignition and he's a little piggy.How cute is that?
