Vanilluxe
Vanilluxe gets so much hate because it’s literally just two scoops of ice cream on a cone. Apparently someone forgot to tell The Pokemon Company that a design isn’t inspired unless it’s based on some fancy, powerful mythical beast. Oops.
Sure, one of Vanilluxe’s two faces has an unsettling, wide-eyed smile. It’s a little creepy, I’ll admit. But nobody hates on that part of it. Everyone always jumps to the ice cream cone design itself.
Look, I’m not trying to defend Vanilluxe here. It is just a Pokemon that’s pretending to be a delicious dessert. But so are Slurpuff and Alcremie, and nobody hates them the way they hate Vanilluxe.
And let’s be real, Vanilluxe isn’t any less inspired than Magnemite, a literal magnet, or Voltorb, a literal Poke Ball. You guys just hate any generation that isn’t Generation One.
