>every pokemon has a little goofy detail so it's not "too cool"What about these motherfuckers then? It's like if Gallade got it of the ugly diaper and wearing Marshadow's ghost as an armor-type Over Soul, they are like a conquitador-themed mix of Medabot and NetNavi wielding the orangish scarlet flame of tradition and the bluish violet fire of novelty, they are so unapologetically cool they make me sick
you posted it. they dropped the ball bad with those shinies. even by shiny paldeamon standards these are bad
You posted it. They have the worst shinies among all Pokémon.
>>58825859>>58825862>the uncool factor is that one every four thousand Armarouge/Ceruledge has added contrast in the eyes instead changing the whole palette
that's not even shiny Ceruledge, shiny Ceruledge has yellow eyes
I bet my right hand the only reason they didn't get megas was because they couldn't come up with a satisfying design that justified them. They could even take the chance to make the shinies change a lot like happens with Gengar's super forms becoming white
>>58825865we all have to pay our dues
>>58825852Ceruledge's legs are too wide
>>58825852ehhhh don't look all that cool to me
>>58825852the "too cool" thing was just an excuse Sugimori came up with. He couldn't say the truth about him sabotaging pokemon out of spite hoping that the franchsie would fail and he'd be free to draw loli porn of Quinty, so he shat out the "too cool" excuse.
>>58825909The Megas should reference Mega X.Make Armarouge wear a cooler armor like X's Ultimate Armor in X5, and make Ceruledge as Black Zero.
It's crazy people taking someone giving vague design guidelines from a single artist and rigorously trying to apply them to every single design in the series several years after the quote was made by Pokemon not even designed by him.
>>58825909I'm so mad, I played the entirety of the game+DLC exclusively with megas and I've got almost four teams, but I couldn't find a spot of these guys, it wouldn't feel right no matter how much I wanted to use them. They really should have added more double hyperspace mega battles, not just Latias and Latios>vs Mega Latias and Mega Latios>vs Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y>vs Mega Salamence and Mega Metagross>vs Mega Tatsugiri x3 (all forms)>vs Mega Armarouge and Mega Ceruledge
>>58825852Armarouge's pauldrons look pretty fucking stupid. Ceruledge's goofy element is probably supposed to be the boots but it doesn't work because it looks too good.
>>58825976>horsesGiven Spain's history I feel like it would be cooler if Armarouge was the horse and Ceruledge the jockey, it would work as a reference to El Cid, spanish's most mythical hero>El Cid, the legendary Castilian knight and revered national hero of Spain, passed away in Valencia in 1099. In an extraordinary act of devotion and strategy, his wife Jimena dressed his body in full armor and mounted him on his faithful steed, Babieca. According to legend, the sight of the lifeless yet imposing figure of El Cid leading his loyal knights into battle struck terror into the besieging Almoravid forces. Overwhelmed by fear, the enemy retreated, securing a decisive victory for the Christian defenders of Valencia.>This remarkable tale of posthumous triumph not only highlights El Cid’s enduring influence but also showcases the ingenuity and resilience of those who followed him. Even in death, El Cid’s presence inspired his comrades and demoralized his enemies, reinforcing his reputation as an unparalleled military leader. His legend became a symbol of unwavering courage and strategic brilliance, embodying the ideals of honor and loyalty that defined his life.>El Cid’s story transcends history, firmly rooted in Spanish folklore and national identity. His legacy as a fearless warrior and protector of his people continues to inspire, solidifying his place as one of the most iconic figures in Spanish history. The tale of his posthumous victory serves as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of bravery and determination he embodied.Mega Armarouge should be Babieca, a beast but loyal companion who will follow you even after death, and Mega Ceruledge should be El Cid, an unyielding warrior whose blade inspires fear even after death.
>>58825852they sabotaged Ceruledge's movepool, despite having swords for arms it gets barely any cutting attacks. Meanwhile look at Gallade which has almost all of them and a bullshit ability that jacks them up despite having the same offensive power as Ceruledge before even accounting for it and despite all this it's still better than Gallade, get fucked diaper hips
>>58825852The fact that they look out of place is the goofy part
>>58826006Fun fact Honedge's category, the "Sword Pokemon" isn't called "Pokemon Espada" in spanish but rather "Pokemon Tizona" after El Cid's legendary sword
>This>Gimmighoul>Mousehold>TinkatonWhy does this generation have so many shit shinies? Armarouge and Ceruledge swapping their palettes is like, the obvious choice
>>58826036Dunno, they feel like the Gardevoir/Gallade duo but a bit more different
>>58825852No actual fingers
>>58826006>>58826038Fucking badass. SV really got shit on because I feel GF was more like "it's lunch time".Otherwise, why are there so many foodmons in the land where fucking legends were made? Even the "White Man's Burden" started when some dude said "hey, the world is a circle, so I will navigate to the other side, and we will get spices and silk!". But loh and behold: gold, silver, gems, and tribes to conquer and rape.
Some Pokemon’s “uncool factor” just boils down to down to them having slightly chibier proportions like bigger head and eyes so they can have expressive cute moments or being your friend. Like the Luxray example Sugimori used. While some are flanderised into literal clown makeup tier in making them goofier
>>58825852Armorogue's legs look dumb Ceruledge I feel definitely betrays Sugimori's wabisabi design philosophy
>>58826094In all fairness Luxray's ears do contrast heavily with the rest of its silhouette. If they were intended to match the rest of the design I could easily see them being "sharper" like Arcanine or Jolteon's ears
>>58825934>should reference Mega XMMZ/battle network or bust
>>58825976We got mega pyroar and skibidigatr instead
>>58826058Tinkaton is great tho, it's like Komala, change the tool not the mon, it's a nice chance. The others are pretty bad yeah
>>58827266Those are terrible shinies too. It should be change the mon, not the tool.
