As the title may suggest, this is a book where Char and I will be ranting about the Pokemon games, anime, our top ten favorite things about Pokemon, and our top ten least favorite things about Pokemon, among other things.
Let's be honest. Throughout the years, GameFreak has made a lot of great Pokemon designs. But with all good, there has to be some bad as well. In this list, we're going to be counting down the top five ugliest Pokemon ever created.

Number 5: Rhydon
Here we have a Pokémon that ruined a great-looking evolution line.( this list is gonna be filled with those type of mons btw) First, why is Rhyperior so fat, I know rock types are pretty big in size but Rhyperior kinda pushes it little. Also, why is it all of a sudden a brown-orange color, gray looked so good on Rhydon and Rhyhorn. Now it looks like Rhydon fell in some mud then tried covering it up with but failed miserably. Speaking of the orange part, why was this part added. I mean, just look it. It makes Rhyperior's head look dumb and look like he's getting ready for a war or something.
4. Diggersby
This. This is why no one ever catches a Bunnelby. Well, except for the purpose of completing the Pokedex, but whatever. I'm not the biggest fan of Bunnelby's design, but at least it's somewhat cute and I can appreciate it a little because of Clemont's Bunnelby from the anime. I have no fucking clue what the creators were thinking when they made Diggersby. It looks like a Bunnelby that has an ear infection and is on the verge of dying from morbid obesity that got stuck with a stupid-looking grin on its face so it doesn't hate its life even more. Also, why are those ear...fist...things so big? It's not a fighting-type Pokemon...oh yeah, and it sucks too. Not just design-wise.
3: Crobominable
Holy shit, what the hell is this thing. It doesn't even look like a creature you would find in the wild. It looks like some mad scientist was doing an experiment on some crabs and it went horribly wrong. And what the fuck are those things on itsarms. It's a crab, which have CLAWS. And it's spider-like legs aren't helping it either. It also has a weird expression on it face, like its trying to hold in the sadness from being such a hideous creature. Seriously Game freak, when making an evolution for a Pokémonyou're supposed to make it better than the pre-evolution, not make it 100x worse.
2. Jynx
You know, it's bad news when something can actually make something as hideous as Crabominable almost look good. Didn't think it was possible? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to Jynx, the Plastic Surgery Pokemon. Okay...that's not really what it's called, but it would certainly be an appropriate name. What the hell happened to Smoochum after it evolved? It was so cute as a Smoochum, and now...I don't even want to look at this thing. Seriously, Jynx is the only Pokemon that actually makes me feel uncomfortable when I look at it. Oh yeah, and it sucks in battle too. You know, I'm starting to think there's a connection between a Pokemon's design and its stats.
1. Delphox (both me and Char will do this one)
Okay...I know we've talked about this Pokemon before, but that's because it's just that bad. I don't know what the hell happened, but Delphox ruined a great evolutionary line. The front view is particularly bad, as it looks as though it somehow aged about fifty years during the ten seconds it took to evolve from Braixen. Seriously, Delphox, what happened to you? I know evolution is a bit of a chore, but don't let the stress get to you so much.
And what's with all of the fur. Personally I'm fine with Pokémon having the appearance of wearing clothes but only when it actually looks good. The tunic made entirely of fur on Delphox just looks stupid. Can we also talk about the shit load of ear hair. Like, ewwww. Delphox's tail doesn't even look like its part of its body, and the wand is pretty dumb as well. I know Braixen has it too but at least the wand works well with Braixen's, since Braixen keeps it in it's tail. Delphox on the other hand, just pulls out its wand out of nowhere. If you're still not convinced Delphox has a shitty design well, look at it yourself:
