I like how every generation has the same reactions from people.

"OMG worst generation ever!"
"It's like 12 year old's drew this"
"We need gen 1 pokemon back!"
"The next generation can't possibly be worse"

And repeat this for the generations to come.

Ever noticed how every generation also has the same people defending the newest abominable creations?

Some people are satisfied with bland colourful monsters with ridiculous shoehorned type-combinations, while others are looking for creatures that have some thought put into them. Not to mention orginality, with the rise of Mega/Alola remakes.

I don't like this close-mindedness of fans at times (not pointing at you, particularly). As Hershel_Layton said, there are no actual rules on who or what can be a Pokemon. Each gen, I do see unique designs that I probably wouldn't have thought of before. Oricorio resembling various dances, Comfey being a lei, Phantrump possibly incluenced by the stump of a kodama, etc. Plus I like some of the callbacks such as Alola Marowak from Gen 1, Alola Exeggutor from its Pokedex descriptions and the idea of the Dragon Fruit, etc. I personally like the Alola/Megas since they do provide new life for old Pokemon (even if it's mostly for Gen 1) and the designs are pretty darn good.
