Obviously middle is the official design

bottom and top left aren't bad

Is he based off Donald duck or something.

the design is too boring and creatively bankrupt to be fixed desu

All the fixes are just a duck, the water wings one is the only one even mildly more interesting.

All of them look worse somehow

On god just about every "fix" I've seen on this fucking board has been miles shittier than the original design. Even if its a pokemon with an objective shit design.

>all of them remove the entire point of its design which not only gives it an interesting sailor theme which makes it stand out but is also based on an actual thing on real life ducks
like usual fans are retards and horrible at redesigning pokemon.

The original is so stupid it's based. I'm picking it for sure.

Just you wait, final evo is going to have a big anime pompadour and everyone will love it.

How come Murkrow can have a hat but the duck can’t

Old good new bad mentality

god I hate how that stupid duck looks.

If / p/ was in charge of designing Pokémon, everything would be generic elemental animals

>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T BE JUST A COOL DUCK MONSTER YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME SHIT ANTHRO GIMMICK OR IT'S NOT "CREATIVE" ENOUGH!

I can see what they were trying to do, they are trying to get rid of the bad parts of the design:
>Overly large cutesy head
>Shitty non-Pokemon eyes
>Gay hand pose
>Human being hat
>Non threatening mouth

I don't think they did a great job, but heart in the right place.

top left one is best

If fans were in charge of designing Pokémon, everything would be furbait jobmo- oh wait.

Correct.

>Real Pokemon Eyes
>Actually looks like something wild and not a mascot
>No human design elements anywhere besides "has facial expression"

Even your specific example is nowhere close to the toyetic gimmick mons of later gens.

>crested ducks don't live in the wild
go outside

>Crested ducks have baby heads and hats and do the gay pose
Stay inside

>palm trees don't have human faces and do the gay pose
damn

>Making something into a monster is the same as making something into a mascot/human
Nope, good try though.
