This is what Gamefreak is wasting their budget on.
>>
>implying
they're so lazy they haven't put furfrou in any games since dexit because they don't want to put in the effort of adding all its forms
>>
but remember, programming old pokémon into new games takes too much time
>>
Go look at the Kalos dex. Subtract all of the Megas and see how barren it is.
>>
All those hairstyles just for Furfrou to be one of the least memorable Pokemon in the history of creation
>>
>>55791471
I doubt the alcremie forms cost that much to make, they're mostly just recolors. it was probably just one dude's pet project. the others, yeah.
>>
>>55791482
Hopefully ZA adds in some evos and regional variants to fill in the gaps like how arceus technically filled in sinnohs lack of certain types with hisuimons.

>>55791471
Who the fuck asked for all those alcremie forms?
>>
>>55791471
I like alcremie but I agree, theu have way too much forms.
The dragon apple is alright.
>This gen's gimmick has a particular distinctive look
So? Nothing wrong about it. It would be wrong they didn't do something to make it look unique (although not the biggest fan of the crystal look).
Furfrow having different hairstyle has gameplay potential, specially for contests. Imagine if certain hairstyles would increase the appeal for the contest they are in, like, the one with red fur has more appeal in the Cool contests. Although that would mean that every contest would have furfrow, so that's boring. Either way, it is no longer relevant tho; stuff like this have been featured even in games considered good like the Gen5 musical (i love musicals but they lack subtance entirely)
>>
>>55791471
good, that's pure soul
>>
Has anyone ever used Furfrou before?
>>
>>55791482
>if you remove content the game is barren
holy shit!!!
>>
>>55791611
>. It would be wrong they didn't do something to make it look unique
The fact gimmicks are a thing at all is wrong. We don't need them, just keep making more Megas and bring back all the other actual battle shit they keep cutting like triples, rotation, inverse, etc.

yeah i don't really see a problem here, i can't put my finger on why exactly but i feel like they're done being wishy washy on shit like this. we'll know by gen 10 if they stay or if they go, and after that the door is wide open.
>>
>>55791777
van you read? The implication is that they stop making gimmick forms. period.
megas, cross-gen evos, and regionals do the job perfectly.
>>
>>55791793
Megas are a gimmick.
>>
>>55791792
Not to mention there's nothing stopping them from just having it be so that a mon can mega even if it's not the final stage. They say over and over again in XY that it's distinct from regular evolution
>>
>>55791667
That's not the point. They're not new Pokemon native to Kalos. They're super forms of mostly Kanto Pokemon. The biggest part of Kalos' identity is "Hey, look how we made these Kanto mons even cooler" instead of focusing on their own creatures.
>>
>>55791835
>They're not new Pokemon
Yes they are.
>>
>>55791494
What about Uxie?
>>
>>55791835
>They're not new Pokemon native to Kalos
so what?
this autism about needing 150 new, native Pokemon every generation is legitimately one of the most damaging attitudes in this community. I would rather they put the effort elsewhere than shit out another 75 uninspired shitmons just to appease autists who cry if they don't get shiny new toys every year.

"one of", anon.

???
Isn't that literally just Alola, given that all regionals were delegated to Kanto mons despite having a miniscule and uninspired roster of new species?
Kalos uses all of its new ones pretty well.
>>
>>55791471
Tera is fine because the crowns are one-size-fits-all, you'll see them over and over unlike the pastry/apple/poodle. The crystal graphic on the actual body is also fine because it's just a bit of shader magic, also one-size-fits-all

>>55792262
Megas and Z-moves should have been the only gimmicks. Everything else just sucks.
>>
>>55792176
>Different designs
Literally just the same pokemon but looks dumber.
>>
>>55791704

>>
>>55791494
you can only do so much with a dog, and a dog inspired by one of the ugliest races at that
>>
>>55791471
ah yes, they're spending millions to make a fucking different colored model that takes 30 seconds to do...

Why are people on this board so fucking retarded?
>>

>>
>>55791872
What? Uxie literally has no gimmick.
>>
>>55791471
I still cant believe they made all those coat cuts and almost all of them look like shit
>>
>>55791765
so they wasted on a NFT to one idiot like you :^)

quick, nobody pay attention to the wildly varying quality of z-move animations

No one cares about your shitty digital soccer.
Pokemon is about catching shit, not jacking off to pick rates.

>>
>>55794492
They'd have a heart attack if they played any other RPG. They all do gimmicky shit instead of trying to make everything competitively viable.
>>
>>55791835
>MUH IDENTITY
Kalos literally wouldn't even exist without Kanto's success. Do you also complain when Goombas and Koopas appear in a Mario game? Or when a Sonic game is about going fast? Or when the Sword Copy Ability appears in a Kirby game?
>>
>>55791471
What's wrong with the Applin lines?
>>
>>55797491
OP is just soulless

>>55791799
Mega Evolutions are specifically mentioned to be only capable of happening on Pokemons that can't evolve anymore.
