>>723257505look how they butchered my boy..
>>723257505Hear me out guys...
>>723257505i like itits goofy and not in the bad way some new goofy pokemon are
stop butchering gen 1 you freaks
>>723257505>>723257613>>723257665you'll buy it anyway?
>>723257505It looks fucking hilarious in motion.
OH LAWD HE COMING
What’s with all of these stupid ass Mega Evolutions?
>>723257630I don't believe you, this is surely a shitpost.
What's the best Gen 3 open world special physical split romhack?
>>723257780They've always been stupid when you realize they were all making an X or Y shape.
Reminder that the people defending this are the same people who claim Gen I designs are lazy.
Why is Starmie physical now?
>>723257505>"Bring back megas!">*the monkey paw's finger curls*
>>723257780
>>723257873look at him!
>>723257780>hating this kino
>>723257873>only 120 speed
>>723257873The actual stat change to its attack will be more like 75 -> 100 when Champions comes out, Mega Medicham and Mega Mawile both got +40 to their attack stats to make up for the absence of Pure Power/Huge Power. This does suggest that Starmie will be receiving Pure Power/Huge Power as well.
>>723257873Better rapid spin I guess
>>723257779Same energy
>>723258015Is that slow? I only really play the emerald factory nowadays and in there it's one of the faster mons but I know there's a lot of powercreep in modern pokemon.
>>723258208kek
>>723257780It's a franchise for childrenAlso porn addicts but there are separate designs in the game for that
>>723257867mega pinsir is cool
>>723258208
The worst part is the whole game appears to be one single city, with separate loading cells for “wild” PokemonStory has been shit since gen iv, but oof this looks cringecore if anything does
>>723257780It continues the tradition of some being awesome and some being goofy.
would you?
It's literally Starmie but with longer legs. Literally every other Mega or Regional has SOMETHING different
>>723257505DONT CARESTILL STARTING WITH TEPIGSTILL USING MEGA STARMIE
>here’s your megas bro
>>723257867>>723258031Mega Starmie seems like another alternative to that buff dolphin mon Gen 9 added.
>>723258664I don't want my penis to suffer from necrosis
>>723258845Are they supposed to look funny
>>723257780Humilliation ritual, we'll still buy it.
>>723258451Actually made me laugh
>>723257780Few emga evolutions are good.
>>723258845It’s so insanely obvious these are AI-generatedNo human brain would just make Starmie slightly bigger. None.
>>723257942I wouldn't hate it if they were smaller
>>723259230You are obsessed with AItrash to instantly assume this is AI and not the usual garbage gamefreak makes.
>>723258845AI should actually be illegal.
>>723257505SUTAFISHHITORA
>>723259230>giving game freak the benefit of the doubt
>>723258664I like this one and the fact I can google "Yuki Onna pokemon" and the actual Pokemon comes up is impressing me slightly since that's what came to mind
>>723257650You're not allowed to have fun, all new designs should be serious and edgy.
>>723257505>mega is just longer legsBRAVO GAMEFREAK YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN>>723257701no because i'm not a brain dead cultist that has to consoom every slop, time to wake up
>>723259054Yeah apparently in the story, they’re all unnatural mega evos that shouldn’t exist. Yes 99% of the original mega evos were unnatural as well but they were made to fight in wars while these were made to rob black people on streets. No it doesn’t excuse the bad designs, Pokémon’s plot sucks anyway.
>>723257942It was properly golden and not piss-colored, it'd already be a lot better.
i went all to shit after BW2if you bought and liked XY you are an actual goycattle
>>723259230>Actually thinking that this is beyond Gamefreak.
>>723259526Who said there should be new designs? Perhaps they should do something right with what they already have for once before burying themselves under a bigger pile of trash. Slop lovers have no excuse for enabling this.
>>723257505This one is so lazy, that I kinda respect it.
Being a Pokemon fan really is just one long neverending humilation ritual
>>723258845seriously what the fuck
>>723257505thats not real.
>>723260115Anon, I...
>>723258845That color scheme for shiny Scolipede is cool as hell
>>723258845What's the issue with the fox
>>723260227its not naked
>>723259434HITODEHITORA!!
Is it true that the reason they all look stupid is that Gamefreak can't or won't create anything that looks like a fan design? Because that would explain a lot.
>>723260115Anon I…
>>723260350I think a flying type eevee was scraped because fan art looked too similar to what they planned
>>723260351H-He's fast
>>723260351the darksouls of pokeymans games genre
>>723260351>that slight stutter on the start of the last attack
>>723258845I'll wait for some goon art to come out for delphox before I decide. The rest suck tho
>>723258845>that feraligatorIn retrospect, maybe it was a good direction for Typhlosion to get a regional form rather than a megaevolusion (even if Hisuian Typhlosion looks like shit)
>>723261162It could have been good
>>723258664The only good ZA mega.
I would like to go back

>>723257780Mega evolution was always inferior to warp digivolution
Redpill me on why they just made Starmie but with bigger legs. There's a reason for it right? Like a cheeky reference or something? It's not just because Game freak are lazy and talentless hacks, right?
>>723257650its goofy in the bad way though.
>>723257505Out of all the shitty things in this game.This to me is FUN
>>723262439The same reason Pokemon doesn't put in effort for anything. Laziness, and the knowledge their fanbase will buy it regardless.
>>723262439>Like a cheeky reference or something?Ultraman. Starmie is an alien starfish, and the mega is just it obtaining more human qualities. Only problem with it is the animations don't go far enough, they could have been more uncanny with it.

>>723262924In Japanese media there are monsters that are just guys in starfish suits, that's what Mega Starmie is trying to invoke.
>>723257505Palworld won
>>723263131..k...inoooooo..ooo.ooo.ooo.o
>>723258845Just reaffirms that megas were always dogshit
>>723258845Excadrill is the worst here. What retard would choose that as mega design lol
>>723263247Gardevoir made it through OK.
>>723257873It has to be a mistake arent megas +100bst? That's +140.
>>723257613Starmie is girl coded
>>723263606The +40 were for Megas like Mawile and Medicham that lost out on Huge and Pure Power because the game lacks abilities. This means Mega Starmie likely has one of those abilities too.
>>723257779Perfect Halloween scare
>>723263715Oh, so these aren't the final stats for the eventual G10 games then.
the second gen should have been the last gen
>>723262240>It calms down the situation with its unmatched power>"Knock that shit off or I'm dropping the nuke"Well ok then
>>723258845I like the Barnacle.
>>723263247they've always been the worst gimmick (tied with dynamax).i was expecting terastallize to be just as bad but it's actually good. looks like shit tho.
>>723264308I liked Dynamax for the most part, you could use some oddball Pokemon like Durant in Swsh because of it
>>723258664Making it like 8 feet tall seems too normal.
>>723257505>>723257779>>723258451I really like his design
>>723257701i haven't bought a pokemon game since gen 7
>>723263493I forget that form exists because I never goon to her mega evolution. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist.
>>723264032Nuclear deterrence worked fine for decades tree hugger hippie
>>723258845I can't believed they ACKED my boy Victreebell....
>>723257780Testing what they can get away withSpoiler: everything
>>723262439Only thing I can think of his how Warning from Space has starfish-looking aliens that had human actors on the inside, but the obvious tell of having feet wasn't implemented, so it doesn't seem to be that.
>>723264872W comment
>>723261271pokemon really has a fanart problem. the fact that they can't end up looking like the fanarts really fucks up the final product because even they come up with a good concept they can't execute the same
>>723264771True, her base form is already perfect. I think Mega Garde still looks good though.
>>723264731*blorrrrrft braaaaaaap briiiiiiizzzt*Your meal, sir

>>723259230they probably just had their kids design them or something.
>>723257613>Hyper Sonic.gif
>>723265081Nah that would result in cool designs not ballsackbell.
are all the old mega evolutions in the game?
>>723264970What the fuck? Who ordered Palworld? Get this shit away from me.

>>723261162Hisuian Typhlosion is also in the Epstein logs.
>>723265189All old megas are in, yes. You will have to wait for upcoming DLC to get hoenn starters and legendaries though.
>>723258845I'll use 3 of these
>>723257505He won
>>723258664This is literally the only good ZA mega I've seen so far

>>723264032https://youtu.be/F1Bhl3yjzsQ?t=43
>>723266946>niggasakiheh
>>723257780There seems to be no real design principle put in place. Instead of creating or elevating fantastical ideas, most Pokemon these days are just cartoon scrimblos from a grab bag of animals and concepts. The easier to model and make plushes of, the better. Being an easy to swallow meme for your audience is a bonus
>>723257779This is based and I don't care what you retards have to say about it.
>>723263131>>723264917It should've been Starmie gaining an eye and more eerie aspects, not something that took less than five minutes to model
>>723267515That might be a legal issue.
>>723257701Last Pokémon game I got was gen 4. So no.
>>723257505I hate Pokemon so fucking much
>>723264956Its a retarded non-problem, just use the design what's the fan gonna do?
I remember wanting to see a Mega for one of my favorite Pokes, but now I'm glad
>>723258451FASTER
>>723267863>what if...bigger fro!now i want it even more.
Mega evolution designs have always been weird.These aren't crazier than the old ones. A few even look nice.ZA still looks like a terrible game tho, don't know why they couldn't have done it like Arceus.
>>723267863Longer legs so it can walk vast distances quickly and loom over prey?
>>723268031Based on the in-development assets leaked, it seems like the game was originally going to be closer to LA.
>>723268031There were plenty of good megas along the sillier ones, i haven't seen a good one yet here.
>>723258845Mega Barbaracle is kino
>>723268156I don’t see how this one is X or Y shaped without being reductionist.
The issue with mega starmie is that 99.99% of the western audience have no idea that the design isn't meant to be>LOL IT'S FUNNY COS IT'S WALKINGbecause it's basically a japan-only reference that falls flat elsewhereif you have to explain a designit's a bad design
>>723268156The best mega by far
>>723264997>>723257942What's the concept? This looks more like a regional than a mega.
>>723257779Starmie is my favorite Pokémon and I absolutely despised this thing since the leak but I'm not going go lie whether due to conditioning and propaganda or due to just seeing it in motion, this is legit KINO and I'm not afraid to say itI still wish it was different because this retarded horror monstrosity is the last update to starmie ever most likely but holy fucking shit is this kino and it really DOES align with his it's anime personality from the OG where he doesn't say his name just loud deep karate chop hyaaaaas and shit. I absolutely inviison this running around like the retarded majora it is screaming in that deep voice from the anime (just the eng dub idk?)Key-knowI still can't believe how bad dragonite is. It didn't grow on me at all. This did.
>>723262005Fanart fixes that
>>723268486then what's the reference anon?
>>723268437Ok fine maybe you get a Y if you take the horns and neck.
>>723259526Absolutely retarded argument when the main reason people have been complaining about goofy Pokemon designs is because the last several gens have been flooded with them and they massively outnumber any serious designs. Every other design these days is compromised for a dumb joke, it's just fucking tiring at this point.
>>723268565so basically you just forced yourself to like it because it was a path of lesser resistance
>>723264917These things look a lot like Decarabia from SMT.
>>723267515The eye thing would remove too much from og design.
>>723268643No I liked it because it makes me giggle like a retard with it chasing you around making these https://youtu.be/7AnkGLQVXCY
>>723257505there's a difference between goofy and dumb and this is dumb, so many ideas for a starfish pokemon and they just add 2 long legs
>>723259105I sure as hell won't. Pokemon Sun was the last one I ever bought.
>>723268745It's even better because the staryu sounds are ultraman, which is what the mega is based onzoomers won't get it
>>723259526having joke designs is fine70% of the dex nowadays being joke designs is noti get that it's a children's franchise but you don't need to drown the fucking thing in irony and non-sincerity because if everything doesn't have retarded facial hair or gigantic heads or a level of detail that makes voltorb look like eternatus in comparison then it doesn't see the light of day
>>723260351
>>723268624kamen rider and ultraman, two series basically unheard of outside of japanone person in a thousand would get it and then he has to explain it to everyone else who otherwise immediately sees it as>oh starmie is suddenly a humanoid running on two legs for comedy value and nothing else
>>723268659Decarabia is probably the most blatant swipe of them.
>>723265280at least makes sense with the character instead of long legs or being yellow
>>72325845110 OUT OF FUCKING 10
>>723268817I'm sorry but it's POKEMON, I MUST BUY IT, CONSOOOOOOOM EEEEEET
Do kids even eat this how do you do fellow kids meme dogshit up still? What happened to the whole "silence brand" retaliation?
>>723268501I think it might literally just be a reference to the silver and gold roosters on the Golden Kinkakuji and Silver Ginkakuji, which were also the inspiration for Lugia and Ho-oh.The golden Rooster has a bit more pointy and longer feathers, and a more sold base for its feet.
pokemon is a dead franchise. good riddance fuck nintendo
>>723262439It sort of looks like starmen from earthbound. I don't know if they were referencing something else that I'm unaware of.
>>723269504When Devon Pritchard gets up there, you really could physically have sex with Nintendo
>>723269490So why is it a mega and no a regional Skarmory? I thought GF learned after the first batch of megas that some designs are better for a regional.Mega Heracross for example, in retrospect should have been saved for a regional.Mega = an "enhancement" in some way, regionals look more like different adaptations.
>>723263131fuck I knew I should've been watching more Ultraman
>>723257779It's fucking silly, but i like it
>>723258845MEGA DORIRU BUREAKA
>>723269659>So why is it a mega and no a regional Skarmory?Fuck if I know. Gold > Silver I guess.Maybe it's a repurposed concept from Legends Arceus.
>>723258845It saddens me what happened with Feraligatr.

>>723257505They stopped skipping leg day.

>>723257780Creative bankruptcy. They ran out of ideas a long time ago.
>>723257779How the fuck was this not a fan design before?

>>723270530Good art is rooted in tradition, not arbitrary ideas.
>how should we make this mega?>uh just copy and paste the flower a couple of times and make it smaller
>Dex entry: wants to supplant humanityYou will nver be human, Starmie
>>723270470Eh sometimes I see them play it...but it's always one of the fucking gachas. Mostly the TCG one because of those IQ draining unboxing sensory videos from Indonesia and shit I'd imagine. And all of those sóyboys and quirk chunguses are their e-parents. Clown world.

>>723260351...what the fuck? I like Starmie and this looks funny...But how is this "Mega"? Nothing about Starmie screams "It needs to grow really long legs and start walking"
>>723267863I love bugs!!!
>>723271413NahGTA V was ass
>>723271738Read the dex entriesThe thing is an alien and wants to imitate humans for unkown reasons
you deserve this if you like slopémon after gen 1
>>723257779>>723260351the way it moves kinda reminds me of the superstars from Tales of Vesperia
Did you know this ugly dogshit design is actually good because it's actually a reference to something else? Like every single pokemon design ever? Yeah, this one is also a reference.
Majora?
>>723268031>Mega evolution designs have always been weird>These aren't crazier than the old onesRevisionism. The vast majority of the original run of Megas look exactly how you'd expect something called a Mega would; stronger looking versions of the basic design.
>>723271850I just flipped through its official entries from 1-9, unless the entry in ZA mentions that; none of its past entries have ever mentioned it wanting to imitate humans. And at most they mention that it MAY be an alien lifeform. The closest is one of Staryu's entries mentioning that its crystal beats similarly to a human heart.
>>723271738Given reason: It's mimicking humans.Real reason: Meme marketing.Supplementary reason: Yu and Mie are based off of starfish aliens from a boomer jap movie that were people waddling around in a costume.
>>723257867No X or Y here, bitch.You're just jealous of the best mega evolution.
>>723272487>Supplementary reason: Yu and Mie are based off of starfish aliens from a boomer jap movie that were people waddling around in a costume.This one makes no sense because stretching the legs out ironically makes it look less accurate to that movie.
>>723268817see the problem is people keep saying later games were the straw for them. im starting to believe younger people don't give a fuck. hearing sun being the final straw, is crazy. that basically just came out. the last good game was emerald, and even that one has trve fans shitting on it for not being red/blue
>>723257505its so dumb looking. Man in a suit.
>>723258451GO STARMIE GO GO!
>>723257505>couldn't even make the gem a different color or somethingJFC
>>723272697The head/neck + horns look like a Y
>>723265383And a ohio skibidi rizz to you, too
>>723272945Well yeah, horns do tend to look like the letter Y. You might as well say that any four-legged 'mon is meant to be the letter X. Ampharos always had that silhouette.
i like this one
>>723267863This fucker has carried my ass through every game since BW where it has been an option. It’s perfectly fine as it is.
>>723273108That looks like a Super Mario RPG baddie.

>>723273323Obviously Dragalge
>>723273108reminds me of pic related
>>723273435Kek I knew it reminded me of something I’d seen before and now I cannot unsee it.

EPIC! just like my chinese mascot fight tiktoks!>ehhhhhh international market sugoi...If this were Gen 6 it likely would have went down the jewel turning into an eye route.
>>723262324What is that?
>>723257780gen 1s new megas are all the goofy corny ones. Its for the gen 1 fans who are largely millenials who find this type of stuff quirky and funny. The cooler new mega evos are for the gen 5 mons desu.

>mega evo>stretch its legs slightybravosbillion dollar company
>>723268565Despite not having a face or any sort of facial expressions, it's extremely expressive and body language goes a long wat as far as being endearing goes.
>>723272715It does make it look more like a guy in a suit, but I don't know why you would think that's a good direction to take it
>>723260351this give me cactuar vibes
>>723274085Oh, and the whole movie is about one of them disguising itself as a human.
>>723259230I fucking WISH it was AI, because I honestly doubt it would be as retarded as this.
>>723258845Starmie is ironically the only one that doesn't look AI generated due to being so lazy.
>>723258845As a Feraligatr fan, his mega is dumb as shit>bro he looks like totodileBro if I wanted him to look like totodile I wouldnt have evolved him in the first place

>>723273108Heard you liked Y's so we put Y's on your Y's.
>>723277996
>>723272487Supplementary reason 2: Staryu line is based off of Ultraman, so the mega makes it look more like him

>>723278313Heh
>>723276628So between that movie and It Came From Outer Space, which is better movie?
>>723270998
>>723258451H-HAYAI
>>723257505is the new designs Nintendo's way of pretending they have some kind of creative genius compare to other monster battle games cause it isnt working lol
>>723258845cool coolshit / coolthis is probably the best you can do with chesnaught / coolcool / shitshit / coolcool / shit
>>723268031Post a silly mega from X/Y.
>awful looking pokemon>but if we shill them enough on social media reddit will make wholesome chungus memes of them and everybody will love them!Beyond the pale of mediocrity.
>>723278851Came From no contest. The funni starfish design is the only entertaining thing about Warning
>>723279282>NintendoThis is all Game Freak, Nintendo have been actively trying to get them to stop being fucking retarded according to the leaks
>>723281692>according to the leaksQRD?
>>723278313lol
>>723281764Supposedly Nintendo said they'd foot the bill if Gamefreak would just ask someone else how to actually make a videogame and Gamefreak said noNintendo might be nervous that even though Pokemon sells well, the fact that it looks like ass and runs like ass might make the Switch 2 look worse
>>723281913Hilarious if true.
>>723265703xD
>>723267916
>>723281992Yeah. I want to /v/leave but it sounds too funny to be true and some Twitter screenshot isn't enough proof for me to consider it a fact
>>723257505DRAWFAGSHEAR MY PLEA
>>723257779anyone defending this geniinely deserves to be killed
>>723258845who the fuck looked at pyroar, starmie, excadrill, feraligatr and victreebel and went "yes, this is perfect ,ship it"rest is at worst inoffensive, i actually really like eelektross and scolipede, clefable and barbaracle are cool
>>723282343Oh fuck, that's a good one.
>>723264997Literal "WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOSE" moment
>>723264917That's some creepy ass shit
>>723282339It was part of the database hack on their servers from awhile back. I dont know whats the problem with dumping it on twitter, where the fuck else can you post things for people to discuss and view without downloading random files, fucking gamefaqs??
>>723270998>not calling it ginanium
>>723282343does it smell really bad or whatis this a female bullying technique? tuna assault?
>>723283059giganium FUCK
>>723270998Did Meganium always have "pants"?
>>723258451
>>723257779They have made something so irredeemably lazy and retarded that it's looped around to being the best of the new megas.
>>723279086>>723280353>johtofags finally realize their pokemon look like baby toys
>>723257779this is actually great>>723257780dude, they've been on a roll with some of these designs
>>723283570All pokemon look like baby toys.
>>723283570Super Mario Sunshine boss
>>723258451lel
>>723257779This is objectively hilarious.If that was the intention, 10/10 man.Otherwise, oof.
Remember when Pokemon evolutions were supposed to be cooler than the previous form? Before reddit ironic humor became the standard among normalfaggots?
>>723284006
>>723283584I would've preferred a giant Bellsprout with a Victreebel for a head.
>>723258845Mega barbaracle is the only good one because it took an objectively shitty design like barbaracle and made it look halfway decent.
>>723284006I pog-faced when all the eggs turned into a palmtreeit was so epic and cool
>>723284140It looks like something out of SMT.Not bad.
>>723284091>>723284152Your the worst kind of subhuman Nintendie pokefaggot, not even worth arguing with you because there's a 99% chance you're a tranny groomer.
>>723284006Remember when Diglett and the boys linked up?
>>723283584I can at least kind of understand liking Mega Starmie but if you like Mega Victreebel then I can't imagine you being anything but the kind of freak who's into diaperfur or tuba croc vore or something. It goes completely beyond looking goofy to looking like grotesque fetish art.
>>723284316>t. transition era
Did they make Meganium better? I remember her being extremely unfun to use in HGSS.
>>723284006Fucking loved when the magnet became three magnets
>>723284350I remember when dugtrio was bigger and visibly angry but in gen 6 they took away its angry eyes because angry battle.monsters is scary for the nintenbro audience kek
>>723284316I wish a lot of anti-Pokemon fags didn't operate like broken bots.Look at you, lashing out with a random image for no reason.
>>723284554They're upset because reception to ZA is showing it's gonna sell like crazy
Dead Internet theory is realThread is just shilling jeets and reddit troons sucking off awful designs because they are too irony poisoned to do anything else. Total poke shit death, palworld is better.
>>723257779Guarantee they made this first, and they were so proud of it they started making all the new megas retarded references to try and catch that lightning in another bottle.
>>723257505STARMIEBUT LEGS!!!!
>>723284535gen2 dugrio didn't have american kirby eyebrows either, you gonna bitch about that too?
>>723284535damn... that's bada$$
>>723257505i love this, i love it so much.>>723257779it reminds me of toedscool running around. i love this. i love it
>>723284451>Meganium betterNah, it's design stays mostly the same, just more flowers.Mega ferga is an XXXL size totodileMega Emboar is Zhangfei (who in history is a pork butcher)
>>723264731it's so wholesome and quirky and chungus its growing on me
>>723258845>PyroarThe fuck is this mustard and mayonnaise shit?
>>723284614
>>723284851Those are shinies not the normal mega coloration
>>723284834I meant better when it comes to its learnset and whatnot.
>>723284613Nobody with a brain thinks it won't sell. That's just reality, Pokefags refuse to not buy these games, mainline always tends to sell big.
>>723257779
>>723284928No I figured that was the case, but the colors don't even match the regular shiny at all. Not that the regular shiny is good, but damn. Pyroar being covered in piss and cum was not on my bingo list.
>>723285008Damn.You dug that one right from the depths of my brain.I'm pretty sure you'll find GIGA PUDIN if you poke around down there.
>>723257779I am the target audience for this
>>723258327must have been hard for the artist to draw this with tears of rage in his eyes
>>723262836Longchu with bayonetta animations lives rent free in my head
>>723284006Dragonair to Dragonite is one of the biggest downgrades of all time and it was in gen 1
>>723257505BRAVO NINTENDO! TRUE CREATIVITY!
>>723285443this but unironically
>>723284091>me when I drop the onions opener down the toilet
>>723285497Honestly the S/V legendary motorcycles are stupider than anything in ZA
>>723285671the future one kinda works, but the other one isn't even using it's wheels lmao
why do they keep giving megas to pokemon lines without second and third stages instead of just giving them actual evolutions
>>723285725they should have just gave up the past one looking like a wheel and instead given it an oversized throat pouchso you get an evolutionary line (in the traditional non-pokemon self)past, unadapted feature used for a different purposepresent feature adapted into a different form, pokemon partially uses it as a wheel and partially walks on legsfuture feature becomes main mode of locomotion, no longer runs on it's legs
>>723258451They turned what would have been a meme into an official design.
I haven't played pokeman since Silver but I thought they removed the Megas stuff because it was dumb and or retarded?
>>723286336ZA goes back to the same region that introduced Megas.
>>723286336mega rayquaza got his own tier
>>723284152Even your attempted counterexample has the evolution cooler than the base form.
>>723278313I miss him desu.
>>723287215>t. vegan
>>723258451You've won me over.
>>723258519His concerned face makes me sad. Bros should always be chillin'.
>>723272745>hearing sun being the final straw, is crazy. that basically just came outIt was almost 10 years ago you retard
>>723258845WTF am I looking at Temtem? Hahaha gross.
>>723287627I'd be concerned if I had been fully consumed by a Shellder too.>>723287650More than the uninspired designs, I hate that color pallet.
>>723260351I've changed my mind. Gamme Freak are based. They can just make the lowest effort dogshit, collect a paycheck, and the Tendies will just eat it happily. Fuck em.
>>723257505I didn't get what this was going for until I saw it in motion. Now I think it's funny.
>>723263236Gorgeous
>>723257505So, am I the only one to notice the connection between Deoxys and Starmie/Staryu? This only makes it more blatant, especially with how it moves >>723257779
>>723257779So pokemon fans complain vocally about how awful the games are, then they get given this, and suddenly they like it?Are they brainwashed or something
>>723286009To be fair Hawlucha and Drampa have two of the best megas so far
>>723275159The hat of discipline. Do you live in a cave?
>>723288459I've never heard of Drampa. This is why I can never get back into pokemon.
>>723288082Yes. That's literally in their programming. Wave something silly in their faces, and they forgot all the other problems.
bros we NEED a Jojo edit of thisTHIS IS URGENT. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
>>723288650He's a kindly grandpa dragon who razes the homes of those who bully the kid he likes.
Are there any digimon games that copy classic pokemon gameplay?
>>723262324
>>723257780So they can buff old mon, but instead of just readjusting their stats and move pools, they decide to go super Saiyan nonsense to appeal to browns.
>>723257505I don't normally burst out laughing looking at a /v/ thread in the catalogue but this is legitimately the best comedy that has happened since scarlet/violet
>>723262240I thought this was a digimon. no seriously.
>>723259526Christ pokemon fags are so fucking pathetic
>>723257780you'll buy it anyway because you're a dumb nintendslop consoomer just like I am
anyone else feel like the running starmie guy seems familiar? it almost feels like a reference or like something i saw in an anime.
>>723258845>victreebel choking itself until it's lips are blue WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID THEY MEAN BY THIS
>>723290271Didn't ask. No seriously.
>>723258845Mega Clefable is upsetting to me
>>723259526is it just easier for you fags to say GameFreak is lazy?
>>723260847There's already plenty of milfphoxI'm already pretty sure she's the single good thing we're actually going to get out of this gen
>>723258664Remember, Froslass is just the head and arms. The 'body' is a dangly bit that isn't an actual body.
>>723267863Shame he's stuck in such a shit gen, he deserved better.
NOW YOU NIGGERS KNOW HOW I FELT WHEN THEY RUINED DUNSPARCE'S EVOLUTION
Cute
>>723292664>Even changes the shiny to try and pander to noodlefags
>>723262240>This is supposed to be the new Mega fugOH NONONONONO
>>723284316How can 2010 be The Dark Year when BW1 was the peak of the franchiseOne last gasp of creativity and care before sliding into the chasm of corporate greed and laziness
>>723293182> BW1 was the peak of the franchiseliterally only zoomers who started playing on the ds believe that
>>723288459Megas having rainbow rim lighting at all times is fucking ugly as hell and ruins even the good designs
>>723293387But I started with Yellow
>>723293182>here’s your peak of the franchise bro
>>723293492
>playing pokemon past gen 5lmao I feel so bad for kids these days
>>723278313The deep cutI'm old as fuck boy.....
>>723291598I'm glad you're mad. No seriously.
>>723260351>m-masaka! how do we keep up!?!as it sprints as slow as possible to take 2 seconds to shoot a beam before repeating
>>723257505I, no meme, can't believe this is real. A lot of new megas and pokemon in general are shit but at least you can tell they tried to go somewhere with a design and failed, this is literally just a Starmie with retarded proportions.>buh buh buh this is actually a heckin wholesome chungus reference to a 60s toku show that had dudes dressed as starfishI literally don't care, it being a reference doesn't make it good. Also 99,9999% of pokemon's audience won't catch that reference, not even in Japan.
>>723278313all these years I still have no idea who or what that is
yeah but
>>723269810i honestly don't mind this one. i feel it'd look better if the hair hat thing was just white entirely
>>723257505>>723257779>>723258845So glad that Nintendo have become shameless patent trolls to protect timeless innovation like this.
>>723284763everyone in the squeak squad gang could pass as pokemon these days
>>723295021
>>723292405>ruined?
>>723288650>This is why I can never get back into pokemon.That makes no sense.
>>723265693Mega Meganium is right there
>>723292405MORESPARCE
>>723284316
>>723277273>no belts, sashes or ribbons>smooth, sleek, rounded body with blunt shapes>no popping veins or bulgy, grotesquely prominent muscles>no detachable projectiles, weapons, or guns of any kind>tiny irises and white pupilswhat a shitty digimon
>>723259614>top left is an omegamon clone with a victini-esque face>top right is a blobby gabumonwhat did he mean by this>>723261271>extra arms resting against the crotchI don't think jacking off in the middle of battle is an effective tactic
>>723292664>head still potato-shaped>tail looks like a overgrown tumor out of control, almost wider than torso>all weight resting on head and neck in flight>ends up being disappointingly halfway between a dragon and dragonairhow did they fuck up this badly
>>723259594It was time to wake up 10 years ago
>>723293649
>>723257505It's stupid, but they committed to the stupid idea. The animations and lore convey its uncanny nature as well, working off Starmie's weird relationships with humans. Still certainly not a great design, but I could absolutely hate it more than I do.Feraligatr is the worst one. Way too niche a concept for a starter form, looks horrible when its mask is not formed, and even the actual concept is just bizarre.
>>723258845Greninja is awesome
>>723268632You're a retard that needs to grow up if you play pokemon for the cool characters. Its pokemon, its by definition not cool
>>723292405please draw more caprino
>>723278313now reverse it
>>723293649What am I supposed to be looking at here
>>723260351>3metre tall starmie running around hydro pumping your asskind of spooky actually
>>723264032kek
>>723257505>>723257779>>723258451This is fucking hilarious
>>723257505where is the starussy
>>723284091How is electrode bad? Its supposed to mimic a pokeball and is basically the pokemon version of the mimic chest in dark souls. Bad would be if they added spikes and wings which is what modern game freak would do now if they wanted to give it a mega. They wouldn't even try to make it look like a masterball
>>723257650There is no "good" way to be goofy. Pokemon should be dark and edgy because the world is dystopian and only held together by the shared hope and ideals of humans and Pokemon.
>>723257505>>723257779I normally hate the Mega deisgns, but this one is fun. It feels more like how the Mega designs should be, like Mega Kangaskhan having the kid becoming a teen and leading the fight, or Sableye getting a giant gem. Sure beats just slapping hundred pointless spikes on them or growing a wig.
>>723257779>Mega design is literal shitpost tierA part of me really loves this, but another part knows that obnoxious fags are going to run the joke into the ground before the game even comes out.
>>723302428>b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but the concept!!!
>>723258845>shit>stupid>would be fine if not for the condom hat>good type of goofy>lazy>based>lazy>fucking atrocious>lazy>shockingly based>insanely lazy>look how they've massacred my boy
literally who ever asked for a mega barbaracle
>>723257779>>723258451>>723260351That's Patrick Star alright.
>they deleted the auto save toggle making shiny hunting harderYou better be joking.
>>723303079There's not even any shiny methods
>>723303079>hunting shiny pokemonwtf is the point, detracts from the rarity which is the whole reason to have them
>>723292725I don't mind this
I can't believe I've seem almost 0 talk of the new battle system from people online.Prior to the first gameplay being shown, I saw SO many people BEGGING for a more 3D real time battle system. And now literally no one cares at all?I'm not saying you can't bitch about the other stuff too, but what the fuck happened? It feels like adult pokefags just want to be upset 24/7 at this point.
>>723303693The gameplay is garbageThere's literally zero fucking depth
>>723257873where'd you get this? the stats were like the one thing I was looking for with these leaks.
Thats a Taurus from Gundam Wing
>>723303727>There's literally zero fucking depthYeah no shit, it's a real time action game battle system.People were still begging for it.
>>723257505>>723257779pokemon has always been super sentai
>>723270468I'm the human now.
>>723303693They don't know what they want. These are the same people who want a Pokemon MMO, a concept it's redundant with pokemon's already multiplayer experience. They even got raids that one game.
Some other anon mentioned him looking paired with mega Starmy but for real team Mega Starmy up with pic related and have them be a pair of buddy cop investigators trying to track down a strange looking pokemon none other than ultra beast buzzswole
>>723271446I choked on my drink.
>>723258845See what they were going with elektross. ehhh doesn't really work.Delphox is hilarious, and the wand options are great.The fuck?I get the choking but dunno doesnt work for me.Holy shit Chestnaught actually looks goodHated at first but then watching it run made me laugh too hard to hate it. Funniest stuff Pokemon's done in awhile.Stupid. Got it but ehhSee above, except its redundant because it already had the fire kanji to begin with.Dont care for it.Dont get itMarlon Brando
>>723303693/v/ is just going to seethe endlessly about the game no matter what and /vp/ is just going to jack off to the pokemonIf you want video game discussion of a Nintendo game you won't see the pajeets here talking about that
>>723304657>If you want video game discussion of a Nintendo game you won't see the pajeets here talking about thatHilariously enough they almost always shut up and move onto the next thing once the game actually comes out. Threads of people that actually have their hands on the game and are playing it are usually comfy.Also I don't know about you, but when I see Nintendo seethe outside of 4chan it's almost always hispanics.
>>723304785Trvth nvke
>>723304785>>723257779>looks like shit in stills>awesome in gameThis same shit happened last time with the Legends Arceus leaks. I remember everyone clowning on the leak of the new Typhlosion form because they couldn't see the fire.
i always thought of starmie as a goofy pokemon so this doesn't really bother me idk
>>723303560What the fuck kind of Cambrian nightmare shrimp is that
wtf why didn't anyone tell me hawlucha got an amazing mega
>>723305123Seahorse of some kind.
>>723305305It was one of the ones shown in a trailer no real point talking about it with the leaks
>>723305373victreebel's also came from a trailer and I saw at least 5 threads about it
>>723257779We need an edit with the OMF run
I wish someone made a Pokemon game, filtering the good designs from the shit designs
>>723257942>>723264997>banana phone
>>723292664>>723282306>>723257942Why do all megas have this retarded design philosophy where they get disproportionate limbs, limbs in places they aren't supposed to be and puke colours and amorphous shapes?It's like they are doing bad designs on purpose, if you like these designs you are mentally ill.

>UMMM YOU CANT CRITICISE IT, TIS A REFERENCE THY SEE
>>723305648>It's like they are doing bad designs on purpose, if you like these designs you are mentally ill.I think they are. I guess because megas are supposed to be kinda weird and painful and shit? I think they're trying to make them not look just cool, but have drawbacks? Or maybe I'm coping and they're just retarded.
>>723306606>>723284091
>>723306734>Its bad on purpose Anon...The reality is that the current lead designer at pokemon is a fag
