it's obvious that the guys down at the art department are running out of ideas.

Gawd, that's thing's ugly
I have a great feeling that Pokemon Black/White is gonna have some hideous pokemon.
You might think that some kind of... Squirrel with wings on its legs and huge blue eyes is not creative, but look at the first gen. A bird, that evolves into a bird with red hair, that evolves into a bigger bird with longer red and yellow hair. And that happened also with the Starly chain, pretty much. A puddle of goop, that evolves into a bigger puddle of goop who's name spelled backwards is an injustice. A red/white ball, that becomes a slightly bigger white/red ball. A magnet creature with an eye, that evolves into... never mind, it just joins two other ones and calls it an "evolution". A mole that joins two other moles in the same process. A pony on fire that sprouts a horn.
This could go on and on, and probably with other gens as well, so keep in mind: they're not running out of ideas; they're trying really hard. If I ask you to draw 10 different shapes, you will probably resort to a circle, a square, a triangle... Basically, what comes to your mind the fastest. Then, if I ask you to draw 20 more different shapes than what you drew in the first place, your shapes will definitely make less and less sense, but you could've started with them at first. See where I'm going? Sure, they might look unusual to us, but try to take the designer's place and find something that is neat, but doesn't resemble the already 493 existing creatures. And anyways, we'll probably just get used to it.
