Magnemite line vs. Klink line

Why is one of them unanimously beloved by all, while the other is hated by everyone?

Magneton is by far the most lazy design so far.

Old good. New bad. Simple as.

Magnemite is a cutesy, rounded design with a single eye that's expressive but also allows you to project a personality onto it, Klink is jagged and ugly with a dumb, expressionless face that makes it very hard to relate to

because one isn't a literal copy/paste of its previous stage and the other is. Also Magneton still looks like a living creature while the Klink line looks like a literal nonliving object.

Both are still better than Rhydon

One of them is a floating eyeballs with magnets and screws that went through hours of brainstorming, inspirations, and stylization. While the other is a literal gears and cogs that was approved without a single second of brainstorming, no inspirations, and zero stylization in any form.

>cutesy, rounded design that's expressive
literally a dot in a circle in a circle. That's WAY less projectable than a gear that looks cuter with a bigger eye and that emotes by spinning and changing face

And both were designs by Ken shitimori

The whole kling line is just godawful, every single stage looks bad.
Magnemite is really cute and magneton ties in the radiation thing a bunch of gen 1 mons had going for them.

>this much mental gymnastics to prove UNOVA BAD LOL
K(region)fags are annoying as fuck

>ken sugimori
>designing pokemon
Can somebody educate this idiotic newfag?

better than turner and masuda

It's just a shit design that feels like a bad ripoff of its analogue kanto mon, like most of unova.

I love them both.

You are the only rerarded here, he designed both and blaziken shit most human furry bait Pokémon

I don't give a fuck about genwars and sure aesthetics are subjective but you need to have an absolutely shit taste to genuinely think that Klink Klang's design is good.

Klinklang is good.

Nah, you're just a dumbass.

The magnet Pokemon evolving by getting stuck together with other magnets is great. It might be boring to some, but it's fun and makes sense.

Ken Sugimori designed Magnemite line. But it was Turner who designed Klink line. Sugimori only act as an illustrator for the official art.

Magnemite line love isn't unanimous, a lot of people dislike magnezone, and a few even dislike magneton. It's kind of a voltorb-electrode situstion in which the first stage is widely recognised and even liked (even if a simple design, they had to be creative enough to come up with the pokeball, then imagine a mimic like voltorb, so there's still some merit) while the evolution is a lot less liked and many even point at it as an example of bad or unimaginative gen 1 designs (even if you like electrode, you've heard the complaint many times, that it's just an upside-down voltorb). Magnemite is a decent magnet monster, you only remember magneton fondly because of nostalgia, and more were open about how they thought magnezone "ruined" the line. All 3 pokemon are decent or good gameplay-wise and had a unique typing for a long time, helping their popularity. That said, magneton is probably the only of the "glue 3 first stages together" designs that makes sense due to the magnetism gimmick, but I digress.

Klink line is an ok idea but it's not only that the progression is kind of uninspired (klinklang could very well be the second stage and an even more complex gear monster could be the final form, klang might as well not exisrmt), it's also that they suck gameplay-wise, so even the people that like them struggle to find joy in using them. Overall, because gen 5's pokedex was like a sort of soft reboot of gen 1's and everybody could see these were supposed to be your magnemite line, if you add up the lack of time to build nostalgic attachment, the burn out of the franchise, the loyalty some folk have towards gen 1, the backlash gen 5 got, and people that aren't into machine or object pokemon, it makes sense that the klink line is often hated and only a niche favorite of few.
