I’m curious what Pokémon designs you think look like they could be from a different generation or region. I’m not talking about confusing one Pokémon for another or mixing up regions, but rather the artistic style or overall look that feels like it fits better somewhere else. For example, I feel like Cyclizar has a strong Gen 3 vibe because of its eyes and body shape. I was inspired by someone saying they thought Nymble looked like a Gen 1 Pokémon, though I personally disagree. What are your takes on Pokémon that stylistically seem like they should belong to a different generation or region?

I sometimes forget Indeedee is from Gen 8! It looks so much like some Gen 6 Pokémon, like a mix between Meowstic and Audino or something. The design totally blends in with older gens in my mind.
I feel like a bunch of Kalos Pokémon could easily fit in with the Unova crowd stylistically. Their designs share that similar vibe and aesthetic.
Right? I get the same feeling every time I see Indeedee. It just feels familiar in a way that doesn’t scream Gen 8.
