Top 10 Greatest Pokemon Designs
Baseball is a game of hits. Sometimes you get a single, sometimes a double, and sometimes a triple; sometimes you strikeout and sometimes you get a free walk. But sometimes they hit the ball just right, and it soars through the air for a homerun. Pokemon, in terms of their individual designs, are similar to that of baseball. And this time around, we're going to judge the best of best home runs for Pokemon Design.
Each of the Pokemon found in this piece will be judge solely upon how cool and incredible their designs are, but we'll also mention and describe their place in the Pokemon World and perhaps even a moveset of two. These other details won't have anything to do with their ranking, just a little extra knowledge and such. No bias opinions will be shown in these rankings.

Before we officially begin, we'd like to mention a few Pokemon that just didn't have what it took to make our list. Many of them still could be considered homeruns in terms of over design, but they just didn't make the cut in our minds. Anyway, here are the ones that fell just short:
Mew - One of the most cute and popular Pokemon in existence.
Mewtwo - Has shear power, and its design back this up.
Dragonite - The original Dragon Pokemon and Pseudo Legend, which will always be cool.
Eeveelutions - One of the most fascinating evolution chains in existence.
Salamence - What you'd expect a Dragon Powerhouse to look like.
Mega Metagross - Uber cool looking with all of its arms and such.
Latias & Latios - The Eon Pokemon will always have that nostalgic look and flare.
Mega Diancie - Beautifully Powerful.
Now that those have been mentioned, let's begin with the real design greatness.
#10 - Mega Swampert

We'd like to begin with Mega Swampert, the ultra buffed Pokemon. Now Swampert in its Regular Form looked nothing like its Mega Form; it's rather scrawny, to put it lightly. And no one knew what Mega Swampert would look like, but we knew Swampert would receive a Mega Form. No one expected what we got. Mega Swampert looks like something that will just kick down anything and everything in its path. Just look at those arms! Mega Swampert has to be the most buffed out Pokemon in existence; it could even be the strongest Pokemon in the World of Pokemon. Any Pokemon, shoot any living being in general, would be terrified if this thing was in its way. It looks like it will mess you up, and enjoy every moment while doing it.
Mega Swampert is also a pretty darn good Pokemon, like most of the Mega Evolutions. It has an incredible Attack Stat, one that allows it to easily sweep teams. But Mega Swampert does best when it's in rain, as its speed immediately doubles. Mega Swampert then has the Speed and Power to literally destroy anything in front of it. And with moves like Earthquake, Aqua Tail and Waterfall - which all receive the added STAB power boost - it can do so easily. Swampert was never anything special - especially because of its speed - but Mega Swampert takes it to a different, much superior level.
But even if Mega Swampert didn't have the stats that is has, it still wouldn't have been popular solely because of its design. Anything, and we mean ANYTHING, that looks as good as it does, it would easily become one of the many Fan Favorites. Step one in being a popular Pokemon starts with design, and Mega Swampert has one of the best out there.

Dam sun, you have a serious case of GenWun syndrome. Charizard as #1? Why? There is literally no reason Charizard should have been on this list. You even admitted that the only reason Nidoking made the list at all was because of nostalgia "If you don't remember Nidoking or don't feel it should be listed here, you obviously weren't one of the earlier Pokemon Fans. Because Nidoking was THE BOSS."
I know this article is your personal preference, but Charizard? Really? Not even mega Char Y which is basically the same pokemon, but better in every way? Disgraceful.
okay charizard is cool but its so simple and not creative at all the only creative thing about charizard's Design is the fire in his tail . its just a fire breathing dragon . OMG so original and creative . stop being blinded by nostalgia .
IMO charizard could be In the list but not first . I am surprised Venusaur wasn't part of this list . if Blastoise ( a pokemon with an unrealistic Design ) in the list why cant Venusaur ? its design is creative and complicated that even the creator of pokemon admit it that he hate how complicated it is .
lastly . what are you ? an edgy kid ? Charizard X have a terrible Design only an edgy kid will like it .
Ahh, too much gen 6 hype.
Where did all the gen 5 pokemon go?
and speaking of design, WHY ARE YOU MENTIONING m-swampert?
My personal favourites are the route 4 pokemon in generation 5, they al fit so perfectly into the place they are in.
I think Mega Charizard X would be better than Charizard.
I think mega charizard x is better than charizars
I will ALWAYS have Mega Rayquaza as #1 on my top ten greatest Pokemon designs.
Gyrados
Where is Mewtwo?
Why so people hate Charizard! He's far from overrated. If any of these Pokemon are overrated its Pikachu. I'm not saying I hate Pikachu but he really dosen't look that cool. Nidoking also shouldn't have been on this list. I would've likes to seen my second fave pokemon Garchomp, or Zekrom or Mewtwo. Also, how are goomy, gyarados, or diance are better than Charizard. I must admit, Mega Rayquaza does have more details than any of Charizard's forms. But there's just something about Charizards simple, yet still decently detailed design that makes him cool. But above all, no pokemon has a better design than Mega Charizard X. His black scales and blue flames makes him look like a total beast. People aren't necessarily nostalgic for liking Charizard. I got into pokemon by the time of generation 5 and Charizard still became my favorite pokemon. Charizard's just awesome. I guess some people just don't like to dis the popular Pokemon, though Charizard seems like a bigger target than Pikachu.
I don't know how I didn't see Charizard at the top of this in the first place, I should've seen it coming, he's easilly the most over rated Pokemon ever, and Pokemon like Garchomp, Salamence, hell, GOOMY look more detailed and aesthetically pleasing to me than friggen Charizard...was this written by a nostalgia freak? I wouldn't be surprised this time.
i like pokemons[img][img][/img] [/img]
Let me guess, IGN wrote this
Wouldn't be surprised.
Charzard? There are many dragons that can beat his design! Like Garchomp and Gyarados!
Delcatty should have been here too, considering her sleek and stylish appearance, particularly in the anime. And no, Charizard is too simple (even Diancie could beat it). Lopunny is also quite neat, particularly shiny Lopunny. But no one cares about normal-types.
No gallade or mega gallade? Wtf!!!?
Nooo...Hoopa Unbound is a little too overdesigned in my opinion. Though maybe that's just me.
No, I think that as well
Seriously!?!?!?
Mega rayquaza takes the cake right away in best Pokemon design lists HOW DOES CHARIZARD BEAT MEGA RAYQUAZA Charizard is just too over-rated[img][/img]
I actually thought charizard would be first. Fire type for life
Seriously? Charizard? In my opinion, his design is simple. I can think of several other pokemon designs that beat his. Even though everybody has heard this a million times, he's overrated.
Right?? Pheh, genwunners.
u dont have to be negative >:(.
Deoxys
charizard first :D
Lol
awesm
My second favorite pokemomn (hoopa) is on the list, that makes me happy enough : D
Hi
Where's mewtwo??
Mega rayquaza, primal groudon and Therian landorus has the nicest design
if these are the best then there is a serious lack of imagination going on with the animators...
Charizard should just go and die in a ....... stone edge. But for real, that pokemon is so overrated.
Yup, wouldn't be able to stand up to a rock type too easily.
