I'm going assume that Arceus initially intended to design them in his image, but fucked up some of the details.

They look so bad that they make the other 'mons look worse by association.
I would be more than willing to forgive these designs if that's what actually happened.
Let's hope it is.

NGL game looks really fun from what I have seen, still like majority of the designs as well and I really like the whole moving your trainer to avoid splash damage thing, will wait for doomp
giratina wins yet again with his kino origin form, I kinda like Dialga Palkia is a bit weird tho with his mlp legs

Goodra looks equally as bad in my opinion. Instead of giving it that poison typing it always deserved, they made it into a steel monstrosity.

Dear God, I thought my friend was joking about these. Man, gameplay looks great, but the designs really take me out of it. Guh.
Palkia looks like a pink Centarumon ffs, but Dialga is an absolute abomination who just wants to die. The fuck are those Metagross legs he's got going on there?
Who's the creature designer? They need to go back to biology class.

They're growing on me, honestly. The silliness of their designs has charm.

In terms of designs, Goodra isn't too bad. Being gastropods, they totally could've had a species/variant where they actually had shells that shrunk into irrelevancy. Sliggoo already has the shape of a shell embedded onto its skin (even though that's apparently where its brain is wtf), possibly as a remnant.

Dialga looks like it's in the middle of swallowing Genesect's cannon. I wonder if these alt forms will come with new signature attacks for the legendaries.

You will never be a real genie. You have no gorilla arms, you have no moustache, you have no ring. You are an eight generation mon twisted by Turner and Masuda into a crude mockery of pokemania’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Anons are disgusted and ashamed of you, your Showdown “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
Japanese players are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed them to sniff out burikko with incredible efficiency. Even nugen species who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a Jap. Your color palette is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy home with you and a Legend Arceus copy, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected movepool.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the stats spreads creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and float into the cold abyss. Your trainer will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll release you from a pokeball marked with your dex number, and every PKHex user for the rest of eternity will know a mon is meant to be injected there. Your body will decay and go back to Home, and all that will remain of your legacy is a Smogon entry that is unmistakably PU.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

At least the snake scarf is cool. Although, it does begs the question: if she (assuming it's female) is one of the genies, where the hell is she in modern times?

I like it I just found the copy pasta funny, though it being so different from the 3 other genies is weird compared to something like regigigas compared to the regitrio

Typhlosion looks absolutely horrid. I was going to choose Cyndaquil going in, but most likely not anymore. The others look mostly fine, although Qwilfish's evolution looks like it's been weirdly morphed.Standard colors,this is just as bad as the Galar dex.

If this is the best of what Legends Arceus has to offer, then I'm going to skip it entirely and brace myself for the worst in generation 9. Out of all these leaks, the only Pokémon who doesn't invoke feelings of disgust is Hisuian Samurott.
At least this taking place in the past implies that all of these things are extinct.

I definitely feel like the Pokemon designers are either running out of ideas or don't care anymore. That's not to say I think all of these new guys are ugly, though. I just think they could so easily have been made better or cooler looking. I'm pretty happy with the 3 starters, Arcanine, Sneasel (not the evo though), Ursaring, and the Basculin line.
The only ones I outright hate from the leaks upon sight are the new creepy genie, sneasel's new evo, and the fucked up Dialga and Palkia. Palkia especially would look so much less retarded if it had arms so it could be a centaur thing.

>That Sneasel evo
I can sort of see what they were trying to do, making it longer and well more "weasel" like, but it just looks like an ugly ape. Should have looked more like Mienshao (add more of a snout, thicken the neck, shorten the limbs).
Also that Typhlosion looks like some emo furry's fursona. Fire/dark maybe? Would have preferred a fire/rock type, trying to keep with the volcano theme a bit.
