I think he means they're taking good concepts, and making crap Pokemon out of them, whereas things like Yanmega/Scizor etc are great Pokemon - we need more good Bug Pokemon.

I like Vespiquen. I'm only disappointed she doesn't command Beedrills.

Surskit: Took an awesome combination (Water/Bug) and instead of evolving it to a strong Water/Bug stage, like you'd expect, they made it... another Bug/Flying type. Didn't make sense.

Wurmple and friends: The idea of evolving via natures was clever, but I'm not happy that they decided to go with they typical weak low level Bug concept again. At the very least, they could've made the last evolutions something OTHER than Bug/Poison and Bug/Flying, which we had a whole mess of already. The reason why these are 'Doing it Wrong' and not, say, Venonat/Venomoth, is because they're newer Pokemon. Meaning GF actually had the chance to make these Pokemon slightly more unique and seemingly tripped before the finish line.

Combee/Vespiquen: Actually, these are decent Pokemon. Vespiquen more so with Attack Order, Defend Order, Power Gem, and all of that. It's a mistake because... well, Bug/Flying and still not viable for heavy combat. But again, the concept is cool, it's about half-and-half.

Ah, understood. So really, Surskit is the one that was really done wrong. The others at least had concepts and ideas. It's just the final product that wasn't great.

'Doing it Not the Way V Faction Wants' I suppose would be a better way I putting it.

If we get more diverse Pokemon types that are feasible and would make you want to use 'em, then we're good.

I want a Bug Dragon Pokemon. That'd be pretty sweet.

Yeah i kinda wish they would've made Yanmega a bug/dragon type which would have made some sense if you think about it. But no they made it bug/flying, don't get me wrong though, it's still a great pokemon. Anyway bug/dragon would be cool.

Y´know Flygon always striked more as a aBug/Dragon type than a Dragon/Ground type,I never actually saw where was the "ground" thing of it.

But yeah,more bugs,not MOAAAR,but the usual ammount.And more attacks.And more spiders,even if they arent bugs.

Also posted this in the whishlist time thread:

Spirit of the desert. Plus the ant lion connection... it could have made sense either way.

and you don't associate red with desert?

To me it fits fine. It could work both ways as a bug/dragon or ground/dragon. As it stands it is still on my top five favorite pokemon.

Why can't creatures that live in a desert have colors?
