Why did they do this to him?
>Kibble is a feature of many Transformers, both in their toys and in their animation/comic designs. In its modern usage (see below for earlier meanings) it refers to pieces which have no clear purpose in one mode but are there only because they are part of another mode. In most cases, "kibble" is used to refer to pieces of the character's alternate mode which "hang" or stick out in their robot mode. Sometimes these pieces are there as a matter of aesthetics, and sometimes it's simply because there wasn't any place better to put the stuff.>Much less frequently, the word is used to refer to "robot parts" which are badly hidden in an altmode. This is most common in figures with aircraft altmodes, where whole limbs or compressed torsos were left exposed on the underside. In this case, the term undercarriage junk is more often used. During the Beast Wars era, the term was also applied to any figure with robot mode limbs hanging from underneath the animal mode shell.>Parts of one mode which are merely visible in other modes are not necessarily kibble. For example, an altmode part which is well-integrated into the robot's form—like the front of a car or truck that becomes a character's chest—is not kibble because it is an integral part of the robot's body, rather than being "tacked on".>When "kibble" entered the Transfan lexicon, it had a different meaning, and referred to a Transformer's accessories and detachable parts which had nowhere to go when not attached/worn/held. This meaning has almost, if not completely, disappeared from use, except perhaps in the context of "combiner kibble", parts used only by combined robots, generally hands and feet.
>>730777614The fact that he needs his arms stretched outwards for this to work is the retarded part.
>>730777702I am not reading that
>>730777702I just read this a few hours earlier at wikipedia. Big coincidence, huh?
>>730777614They wanted his profile to match that of Totodile (for some reason) and rather than him getting a giant menacing skull or something, he got a weird back flap. I wouldn't have gone with Dragon Type, I would've done fighting (as people wrestle gators), changing his appearance to make him a quadruped.
>>730777614Unironic humiliation ritual
>>730777614because all megas look like shit?actually 99% of Pokemon past GENV looks like shit
>>730778476what are the exceptions?
>>730777614Modern Pokemon is a social experiment to see if you can kill a mega franchise through enshittification after it gets big enough. As it turns out, you can't, because normalfags have absolutely no standards. They sure did push out all the hardcore fans who used to give a shit though, every Pokemon community that isn't a social media space for normalfags and coomers is dead. Even /vp/ is just a ghost town, populated primarily by coomers, yawnfag, and his sharty orbiters.
>>730777702Good postBut the thing is that people who complain about this have a design philosophy that “Pokemon are better if they’re more realistic” and and therefore offended the devs don’t share their vision
>>730778805wooloo
>>730777614Can't believe people still follow Pokeshit
>>730779776lol, lmao even.
>>730779430It's not an issue of realism, it's an issue of the thing looking like a toilet seat.
ZA felt like an insult to those that play Legend Arceus and S/V
>>730778887vp plays whatever was the only reason i ever went there, and that just stopped happening all together after the hack last year
>>730780998ZA felt like it was two steps forward and then like five steps back compared to Arceus. I don't fucking get it. Even Arceus had the sense to not have the entire game take place in a single circle where you can't even enter buildings
>>730780998>>730781282PLA fucking sucked. "Oh do these needless fetch quests instead of actually battling pokemon"
>>730777614Because pokemon has been creatively bankrupt for 15 years
I remember back when people called Swamperts mega design 'goofy' and 'cartoony'.We didn't know how good we had it back then.
>>730782669Back when Megas were allowed to just be Megas and not forced into the dog shit modern design philosophy where it has to be a REFERENCE or a CONCEPT.
>>730777614mega evolutions have always been fucking retarded. more news at 11
>>730778805mawile
>>730777614why he built like a toilet seat doe
>>730783130To represent Johto.
>>730778887This thing is one of the hottest of them all, and you can't tell me otherwise!
>>730782669Can't believe that people thought Swampert wasn't THE BEST.
