What Are The Worst Character Designs You Have Ever Seen?

Aha, yeah that does make sense. As an evolution, it is pretty lazy.

In that same vein, I find Muk pretty lazy too design-wise. I know it's an unpopular opinion to shit on anything from Gen 1 so I'll take whatever gets flung at me.
Look, not every Pokémon needs some dramatic change when it evolves, just being bigger and fiercer is often enough. They're not Digivolving, it's just metamorphosis.

Naturally and it can be done right. Pointing at Gen 1 again, Magneton is just three Magnemites stuck together but I think it works. Same with Dugtrio and Dodrio. Voltorb literally flips around and gets a new face. It sounds lame when I put it like that but there are little elements that make them feel "evolved" so to say.

Muk just feels lacking in that department.

Then again, I don't know what else you could do. If anything the Alolan version just dipped them in dye.

Has anyone ever seen Comedy Central's Biatches?
 
I hate Gimmighoul. It looks weird.
I can handle its evolution better but idk wtf is going on with Gimmighoul.
I find Gholdengo worse (though Gimmighoul's pretty bad too)

The "dreadlocks" ruin it. I get that it's not supposed to look realistic, but it's so cartoony that it's distracting. It's supposed to give off the impression of hair, but it's so exaggerated that it looks like a bunch of gravity-defying dicks weakly attached to a head. I hate them the same way I hate Lucario's dreadlocks. If they wanted to design a Pokemon with hair, they didn't have to draw each individual "strand". Alolan Dugtrio did the hair thing better.

Lucario got dreads? I just thought it was a case of weirdly shaped fur kinda like Electrike. Although its Mega Evolution that could probably make those things classify as dreads. Anyway if we're talking about Pokemon hair, I'd say my favorite is Scrafty.

Anyway upon looking at Gholdengo again, it looks like an Olympic Games mascot.

And since we're shitting on pokemon, I don't like Frigibax.

Its evolutions are fine but this one looks like ass. Litterally. Its head looks like an ass.

It looks like a down syndrome Treecko. Treecko itself had an ass-head. Speaking of that, Sceptile was such a downgrade and probably one of the first examples of pokemon with too much random details attached. I generally like Gen 3 designs but some of them like Castform and Medicham just look too much like balls.

Edit: I dislike how the 3D generations made them all look so fat. Look at how they ruined Flygon (one of my favorite designs). It's supposed to be sleek and serpentine but now it's potbellied like Charizard.

Ah, Flygon. The one that is always left behind in the dust. I remember being mad that Flygon never got a Mega Evolution.

I will admit, I like Sceptile as it is. Though the balls on its back were always a little weird to me but I guess it makes sense given its typing and the theme of plant reptiles.

That said, its Mega Evolution borders on overdesigned. And yeah I guess that was the point of Megas; kinda overblown designs to illustrate how the process of Mega Evolving pushes the Pokemon beyond its natural limit.

So it'd make sense if they look busy on the eyes.

Though on the other hand, Camerupt just looks like a regional form.
 
Pardon the double post but new Inside Out shit.

Ennui is just female Fear. it's a pretty lazy with how much it and Anxiety apes Fear. Actually, it makes me think of that one girl on DA who created her shitty ripoff OC of Fear called Scary Fear or some edgy retarded shit.

And I can't decide if I hate Envy or not.

The writing is a whole other story, fuck that shit.

Out of all the emotions, Embarresment actually looks alright. All of this makes me lowkey terrified of the movie.

When even nuPixar already created a character designed to make us feel nothing but embarrassment and somehow is the only redeeming character in a shitty sequel (even if it's not out yet), then of course nuPixar had done fucked up

I am almost certain hes based on Minilla son of Godzilla, well known for being butt ugly.

Especially since his full evolution is just a knockoff of Godzilla.

Jesus fuck does baby Zilla have Lymphedema or something?

Also looking at the full evolution again, I rescind my statement on it looking fine. It looks like shit. What is that shit behind it, a tail? What are those red things? Claws? Gloves? Oh my god...

Death to all weebs. This is supposed to be high schooler btw
Kinda unrelated but it makes me think of another coomer gacha game, Azur Lane. All the characters are drawn by different artists and you can really get an uncomfortably apt sense of a specific artist's fetish depending on how the character is drawn.

Yeah you got the usual tits and ass but then there's the lolicons and the foot fags and they have zero chill. Then you go their Pixiv and it just cements the coom.

I remember liking one of the non-coom artists and wanted to see more of their portfolio. Ended up just looking through the rest of the artists' catalog for the hell of it and connected more dots than I ever wanted to.

Exhibit A.

Yeah....

And it just goes downhill from there once you check this artist's portfolio.

BTW the artist for that gal, POPQN, also drew these girls.

Since Azur Lane is a Chinese gacha game, both thots got censored in China.

So take that for what you will.

It's from a Korean gacha game.
Also released to and strongly appealing to a Japanese audience. Iirc all the characters are Japanese high schoolers.

Edit:just to clarify. POPQN did the big titty waifus. Uso Usotukiya did foot faggotry. Both their twitters are fucking rife with coom and feet respectively.

Also to make this post more tasteful, I highly recommend looking at the portfolio of ASK. Not so much coom, just generally stunning artwork.

Alright, I was wrong on the age, this is one of those cases where the official age seems arbitrarily low, but just saying “high-schooler” makes it sound like we're talking 16-18, not 14-15.
Also,
>teenagers don't dress like that
Believe me, dress codes exist for good reason. I saw way too many girls wearing the skimpiest things they could get away with throughout high school to say otherwise.
