You know...as opposed to the genius move of putting several eggs together and slapping a pair of eyes on them. Gen 1 sure wasn't lazy! LOL

...which is still far more creative and involved than literally taking ONE pine cone and giving it eyes. And, again, unlike Pineco, Exeggcute has an *actual* name that reflects something resembling thought. Pineco literally exists because somebody realized that they needed to give Forretress a prevo and said, "Fuck it, let's just toss eyes on the first thing we see in the woods and just chop two letters off its name"

yeah.

eggs.

pidgy? literal bird.

voltorb/electrode? literal balls.

squirtle? fucking turtle.

ditto? blob.

gen 1 designs were garbage and that's a literal fucking fact.

More shit-tier trolling. Squirtle doesn't look like a turtle (considering, among other things, he walks on his hind legs), saying "literal bird" for pidgey is like saying "literal dragon" for dragonite, voltorb is at least BASED on the pokeball design (and references Japanese lore regarding items gaining life after a certain amount of time), and Ditto is a shape-changer so an amorphous form makes sense.
