Yeah, I hate seeing how people want to make such a huge deal out of what they don't like about new games. I can understand if someone has a legitimate criticism, but for the most part there's not really a lot behind it, just a want to make people enjoy it less.

I remember back when the Gen 5 starters were revealed, I was super happy to see Oshawott. I really liked otters, they were always playing around in zoos that I saw them and I had a plush of them I really enjoyed. (I was ten at the time) I wasn't totally happy with it's design-I still can't understand why they would give it that frown-but for the most part, I really liked it. So it made me really sad when I googled "Oshawott" and saw a bunch of image really tearing into it. One picture was just Oshawott with the caption "I'm ugly and no one loves me". That's not an opinion, that's just being vicious.

I know I see the complaint of "Why are there Pokemon that look like objects?" a lot, which is just silly. They've been around since Gen 1, and they've got the same reason as they always do-it's funny to see Pokemon that look like items in their world, be it ice cream or Pokeballs, and some people like the designs!

I don't know what the complaints are about Gen 6 right now, which probably means I'm on the right sites. (though I only go on the official site and Bulbapedia as far as main game sites go) The only one I know of is a comment about Poppilio looking "smug", which I think was intended more as a joke (like how people joke about pets being spoilt) rather than hating on the design.
