Ultimately it all comes down to personal taste, but I vastly preferred the older style of Pokemon, where they kept it a bit more simple in both design and coloration. It all had a more 'natural' feel, like extensions of real animals, or fantasy tropes in many cases. Now, they are a bit too loud and extravagant for my tastes, like something out of a 12 year olds mind but rendered by a professional artist.
Like I said, it all comes down to personal preferences, but IMO the older art/designs were better because they felt more focused and grounded.

It actually originates from a banned site/Nintendo blog, who claims that it comes from someone who has been "right about Pokemon rumors before," though it is never mentioned what these rumors were.
RMC's asshole?

Design, man. Vanilluxe was miles ahead of another golem pokemon.

"Hey guys, trust this stupid rumor because the guy who told us totally told us good info before... but we won't state what info it was!"

Can you please provide examples as to what "something out of a 12-year-old's mind" is and why they're inferior to such """""""""""gems"""""""""" as Muk and Voltorb? I can't really see where you're coming from, especially since some of the new ones are pretty darn "organic" while remaining creative and unique:
Try 3-8 million children since the DS games were released.
Most of them don't know the original 150 outside the starters and Pikachu.
Pretty much. I'd eat my 3DS.

All I ask for this new game is a robust GBU, with better matchmaking, fixes to the ragequit problems and custom rulesets.
I miss auto-level 6v6 wifi battles.
..and Pokestar-esque battle backgrounds.

Yeah, I think gen5 designs are fine other than a few oddballs. But that goes for every gen except 2 which at flawless design for each and every pokemon.
Are there more Pokemon redesigned to look like they are from different gens? I only know of this:
If Pokemon Rainbow with that description (all regions/settings and most of Pokemon from Gen 1-4) comes true, I will eat my shoe and finally buy a 3DS.

Well, yeah. Hence why I put it into quotes and clarified he doesn't state what the information was. I certainly don't think it's believable and frankly don't see how it would work given the leveling structure of the Pokemon games.

no gen looks that bad...
Other than Hitmonlee, I like these designs, but it's still a silly claim considering many pokemons introduced in Gen V are pretty plain (like Drudgeon)

I don't like the Rainbow rumor. It sounds like things won't change much even visually, aside from 3d models for battles. We won't even get the usual amount of new Pokemon, and they'll just try to hide that behind a veil of fanservice. I really hope they don't try to take the franchise in such a self destructive direction.
It sounds like a step backwards from Black & White, especially if this game will be the start of a new generation. I'd prefer focus on a single region but a real visual revamp of the game. They can make the 3d remake of FireRed and GreenLeaf after that when the engines and new Pokemon are already in place.

Wait wouldn't that give him brain freeze?....Aha psychic should be weak to ice
spoon type beats ice cream type
That's debatable.
is it? IS IT?
Same. Atleast we've got however long it takes from announcement to release to grab one.
They wouldn't just dump it on the eShop live, right?
...RIGHT!? D:

I call Shenanigans on the Pokemon Rainbow rumor.
It sounds like a fanboy dream game, thus it cannot be.

If there was a way to sell every single 3DS in existence at any price then it would be a rainbow game.

Rainbow makes zero sense. It's a collection of fanboy wishes, not a coherent or sustainable game design.
The chances of this getting leaked is minuscule, anyway.
