I had to check what the heck was the treasures of Ruin because I completely forgot their existence. Yeah, I agree the lore is metal...but...well, how can I explain...
Wo-Chien just give me vibes of a normal slug you could find in the wild who use Leafs as disguise.
Chien-Pao look to me just a thin sabertooth tiger, and less impressive.
Ting-Lu is interesting, as something truly ancient but more of a "guardian" instead of a embodiment of a calamity.
And Chin-yu...it's a fish. A fish on fire. 10/10 of Pokemon designs.
These supposed to be creatures born of negative human emotions? The so terrifying "Treasures of Ruin"? They don't strike me as a powerful nature's of destruction or ruination, not like the likes of Yveltal, Spiritomb (who mind you, is a "normal" Pokemon found in the wild) or Darkrai (who mind you, is the ruler of Nightmares).
These four treasures of Ruin only strike as simple normal Pokemon you could find around the world. Not literally creatures capable of cause destruction upon the region.
Again, their status don't go along with what is the premise. If The royal was just a bunch of losers who appear in the region as pitiful beings, it would be more surprising. But I don't like much their they get. To me, they are pathetic in their designs.
Terapagos though...I just don't give a deep though. Like I said, his design is pretty forgettable. I don't like or dislike, it's just meh.
Well, I do agree not every design will not dig up. Problem is when the overall art design is just lame. A rich Pokedex is the first thing most Pokemon fans will go for it, and pick up their favorites and less favorites. But when most of its Pokedex is boring, then we have a problem.
There is a reason why Gen 5 art style in most of its Pokemons is not beloved. Awesome story and awesome villain, but Pokemon designs? Err, not much.
Then again, it's just my opinion. Everyone is free to like or dislike the new art direction. It's just the designs of the last generations just don't impressed me.
