Drowzee: This is one I'm kind of torn on. I find the design kind of clever. Encapsualtes the idea of a psychic tapir monster well. But, at the time, it does a lot of things I dislike. Bipedal design for a quadraped (derp), really overused colors (brown and yellow), having a stupid face... Eh. I'm feeling generous. I'll give it a mercy 3/5 for respecting the idea of what they did with the tapir.
Hypno: Fuck this piece of shit. 1/5.
Krabby: Crab pokemon! It is a crab, basically. Not too much special going on here. Captures the idea well, but doesn't do anything special with it. Not quite cool enough to earn a bias bump, so 3/5.
Kingler: Good evo. It's Krabby, but bigger, meaner, and more awesome. The giant claw is pretty rocking, as is the crown and "fang" design. Plus, I love that "You wanna go, bro?" look it's got. It still isn't technically that special I think (fairly plain color scheme, nothing tooooooooooooo interesting going on), but it is enough for a bias bump. 4/5.
Voltorb: It's an angry pokeball. Yay? The angry expression is all this thing has going for it, but it actually does a surprising amount. It gives the ball some real texture and character. This is the epitome of lazy design that I'm barely gonna let slip with a three, because you can get away with something like this once if you add something to it. 3/5
Electrode: Goddammit GameFreaks. If you want a more serious thing, the additional face details actually take away from the design. Voltorb works because the angry eyes are actually a pretty excellent defining feature on a simple design. Electrode's don't. Also, and this is something I dunno anything about, but Red/White looks better than White/Red. 1/5.
Exeggcute: Goddammit GameFreaks. Wow, we are in a part of the pokedex I hate. Look, it's a bunch of oblong, pink Electrodes. 1/5.
Exeggutor: I quit. 1/5
