Cyndaquil is supposed to be girly :?

But yeah some dark (black or navy blue) to contrast the pink would have been great. I just feel the design was made to appeal to tropes, kind of like Pachirisu and Emolga, which is part of the reason I don't like them either. I understand why they were made, though.

Such a good point about the other evolutions! I wasn't paying much attention when Glaceon and Leafeon were released, but if their designs were released before their types (and even their names) I bet people would have been able to guess them with pinpoint accuracy. It's quite obvious what elements they're supposed to embody - same with the other five (yes, even Umbreon and Espeon, whose types are more abstract, are dead ringers for Dark and Psychic).

whoops, Cyndaquil was for the "cute" section (I went back and added the word "girly" after I listed the Pokémon and didn't re-read my comment)

I agree with you on Pachirisu and Emolga; I can see what they were going for, it just doesn't appeal to me either

I think Pokémon is approaching that point where Pokémon are going to sort of start melding together; they really really really need to vary up their palettes and designs from now on or they'll start losing their "identify/collect your favorites" appeal

Oh, idk about that. A lot of people have reacted very positively to Sylveon (and there's nothing wrong with that). People kept avidly collecting and talking about faves into Gen V and I think they'll keep doing it even if a lot of the designs are rehashed and recycled because people who like a certain thing will want more of it. Most of us have patterns to what we like.

Cyndaquil is really one of the most adorable Pokémon in the history of ever. I don't really like raising "cute" Pokeémon on my teams but I love having art of them and squealing about how cute they are lol. (Icon very relevant.)
