I'd have to wholeheartedly disagree and I'm not even a genwunner and my first game was DP. The pokemon today don't look stylish at all, it's very abstract, lacks personality. There are a few that do end up standing out, but as a whole, the further it seems to get, the worse the designs seem to get. Ken Sugimori was the best Pokemon designer by far imo and to me, captures the spirit of what the series originally was. It was inspired by his own encounters, just personified and it shows. And that bridge between reality and fantasy was so sublime and pure in the Gen 1 designs and Gen 1 in general.
To me, design wise, and personality wise, Gen 5 had the worst pokemon designs, followed by Gen 6. With Gen 3 imo being the best, follwed by 1, and then 2. But that's what opinions are all about, as long as you aren't objectively trying to force your point, it's fair game. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just for me, the original designs are so distinct and unique, especially for their time.
