Trubbish and its evolution are always the first Pokemon to be criticized by Generation V haters. "The Pokemon Company is seriously running out of ideas. I mean, come on. A trash bag Pokemon?" I'm actually rather fond of Trubbish, and I thought it was an original idea. To be honest, I think the little guy is much cuter than Eevee. Even if you do consider Trubbish to be a totally lame idea, I hope you realize that there have been pretty dumb Pokemon in each generation. I mean, we have Geodude, a rock with arms, and let's not forget Mr. Mime and Jynx. Tyrogue and Smoochum look like demented little toddlers. Don't even get me started on Volbeat and Illumise... those things are hideous. Generation IV brought us junk like Cherubi and Pachirisu. No one seems to have any problems with these critters, though; all the hate is directed at Generation V. It's all because of nostalgia; people complain that Generation V's designs are unoriginal, while most of the Pokemon in Generation I simply evolve into a larger version of their previous forms, or grow two more heads. I have nothing against Generation I (I really like some of the Kanto Pokemon, especially Scyther and Charizard)-- I just wish people could learn to accept all the generations.
Anyway, this was just a quick little doodle in my lazy style. The shading really bothers me... I also don't like the overall shape of the body and the ears.


Comparison time~



I think my latest drawing looks more Trubbish-ish than this fella.
