Because the old pokemons were very inspired...

A duck and a turtle

It's legendary but it can suck as much as like Magikarp

A turtle that evolved into a turtle with fucking cannons in its shell!

Also, don't forget the awesome thunderbird, the fire dragon, the phoenix, the epic sea serpent of doom that evolved from a pathetic little karp, the fire unicorn, the fire dog, the nine-tailed fire fox, and many more epic pokemon.

There were some good pokemon and some bad in every generation, but ulike the others, the only gen that got the important ones right were the first (and maybe the second too). When you see the final evolution of starters look like this then you know that they are getting their new ideas from the trash can. When the first had epic ultis, like this or this and the newer generations brings us trash like this or this, you can't really deny that the pokemon company doesn't care about bringing us awesome new pokemon, they just try some new element combinations, and make uninspired trash becasue who cares, the games sell anyway, sure they've lost their godly phenomenon status but they don't care, they're the pokemon company, they want to make uninspired trash, and noone is stoping them.

It is... bizarre... Again, I won't change my statement and I'll say I have no faith in these games at all.

It doesn't look all that special. It probably has some exclusive supercool move/ability or something.

Like the Jirachi that knows Draco Meteor.

Those ears are freaking huge.
