Top 10 Greatest Pokemon Designs
#7 - Darkrai
Being a lot like Hoopa Unbound, in terms of being evilishly good looking, is Darkrai, the next Pokemon to make our list. Out all of all the Legendary Pokemon that came from the Sinnoh Region, Darkrai became the most popular and sought after of the bunch. Not even Arceus, the supposed Pokemon God, could compare to the hype around Darkrai. It was just given such a dark and cool design, and every Pokemon Trainer out there wanted one. This thing has a design that just says it wants to hurt you, and it will bring you to the dark depths of the underworld after doing so.
And unlike some of the Pokemon on this list, Darkrai isn't just a one trick pony. Darkrai actually has a lot going for it besides its design, which is the perfect foundation for such a Pokemon. It has a remarkable ability in Bad Dreams, which just goes perfectly with its exclusive Dark Void move. Dark Void has one of the highest chances to cause slumber (only Spore is more accurate), and then Bad Dreams absorbs Hit Points away from the sleeping Pokemon. Add this to moves like Dream Eater and Dark Pulse (as well as Event Exclusive moves like Spacial Rend, Roar of Time, and Phantom Force), along with its incredible Special Attack and Speed statistics, and you have one WICKED Pokemon on your hands... Literally.
Only perhaps two or three Pokemon ranked ahead of Darkrai on this list actually are the perfect package like it, and it would be ranked much higher if we were just on all of these different categories, But we're not... And since there are still Pokemon with better designs than it, Darkrai will have to settle for being ranked seventh. Not too bad, considering there are SEVEN HUNDRED & TWENTY-ONE POKEMON IN EXISTENCE!

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.
