I wonder why they don’t just use the DNA from the mummified Hadrosaur they dug up?

Design Themes in Pokémon
Each generation of Pokémon seems to have a design theme that makes the Pokémon look like they belong in that particular generation. Unfortunately, this sets apart each generation of Pokémon when really all Pokémon should look like, well, Pokémon.
Gen1: Animals and Japanese cultural icons*
Gen2: Circles and triangles
Gen3: Triangles, circles and diamonds
Gen4: Moustaches and odd/contradicting bodyshapes**
Gen5: Rehashes of Gen1 Pokémon, American animal species, penises
*This is the only “theme” I could find amongst first generation Pokémon. I imagine this is because Pokémon needed to impress the marketer rather than the consumer.
**In design, circles are typically used for jolly characters. Gallade, however, is a savage fighter. Typically, a character like this would be made up of triangles and squares. Gallade is made up of mostly circles, however.
Additional:
Since some people like to put themselves on a high pedestal and look down on people who don’t blindly love all Pokémon (because that’s important apparently?), this is not me putting down a generation of Pokémon because I’m a sad 151-purist asshole. This is me observing design themes throughout each generation as Pokémon has progressed. Y’know, because I’m working towards becoming a professional artist? And its kinda important for artists to look at what other artists are doing and what’s working for them? Yeah? This is why I go to university? Do we understand now? Okay? Okay.

Digimon -vs- Pokémon in 2012
Digimon 2011-2012:
Recently aired an anime series where Digimon fuse together to get stronger. The star protagonists of this series and its mini-sequel are Taiki and Tagiru. Go look at their designs. Digimon is most famous for its 1998 series ‘Digimon Adventure’, of course, and the protagonist there was Taichi, who was referred to in the new series.
Pokémon 2011-2012:
Months after the Digimon’s latest season finished, Pokémon announced their new games - Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 - which are the first direct sequels of an earlier Pokémon game. The games also feature Black Kyruem and White Kyruem, the series first official FUSED Pokémon. Black Kyurem and White Kyruem are the results of a fusion of other Pokémon. Sound familiar? Now look at the male protagonist of these games. LOOK familiar?
Sorry, Super Nerds, POKÉMON is the rip-off.
Its hardly a surprise they’re having to resort to ripping off other franchises and using sexual imagery to sell Pokémon these days though, considering the lapse in charming designs. 
Good day.
Anyone who didn’t realise those markings were on those Pokémon BEFORE the new formes is NOT a Pokémon fan and should stop pretending to be. >0
Are those… genie bras?
Is PokeWood going to be where the genie drag shows are?
For Tornadus has an awfully fabulous hairstyle there, and I spy at least two genie bras.
Except they have that pattern in their normal forms as well o_O
