>item design gets more uninspired as the series continues
>>736758517there is nothing cool or cute about the early versions
>>736758517you can tell when exactly when they stopped designing it to sell toys
The original design alone proves you're retarded>inconvenient to hold>typing buttons in the middle of the fucking hand held>have to awkwardly hold from the bottom to use the direction buttons, or use 2 hands like a retardThis shit sucks
Rotom is possibly the biggest tragedy to happen to a pokemon, besides pikachu
>>736758660you’re supposed to hold it with 2 hands. old portables were designed to require your full attention.
>>736758517Your dex being a Rotom is kinda weird, but it'd also be weird for the Pokémon world to not have the same "your smart phone is your do-it-all pocket computer" confluence that we did.
>>736759110I always thought rotom was a stand-in for things like Siri.
>>736758517> Gen I is a book> Gen II, RSE and HGSS are flip phones> Gen III, IV and ORAS are GBAs and DSes> Gen V is a slider phone> LGPE is a laptop> Gen VIII and IX are smartphonesI still have no idea what Gen VI and Gen VII were. I do wish they'd kept the Flip phone or Slider phone design.
>>736759213Gen II is a fucked up gameboy, FRLG is a fucked up GBA, and ORAS is just a GBA
>>736759110Makes a lot more sense to tie it in with porygon, since they're manmade in the first place and it would make sense to have more of them as technology progressed. The one good thing Masters did.I don't know why they chose rotom and just relegated it from rare, almost legendary mon to commercial product status, especially since rotom being mischievous is supposed to be part of its behavior. Doesn't make a lot of sense to want to use something that will fuck with you on purpose as your primary technology and life device (can stop you from falling).
>game boy camera reference in GSCSOVL.
>>736759213XY would be a tablet where the middle is just the touch screen and all the computer parts are inside either end of the sliding case, while SM is a tablet with a one of those huge kid-proof cases around it.
>>736758517This is realistic. Tech gets more sleek and simplified as it improves and then eventually it's just a phone app.
>>736758517I am genuinely interested in 3D printing a custom shell for my old GBA to make it into the ORAS pokedex.
>>736759213>Gen I is a bookIt's an OG Game Boy with a flip cover. Gen II is the GBC.
>>736759457Yeah, I figured there was some aspect of phones or pads to them, the Rotomdex just seems so much like a toy compared to the rest. Also I dunno, I just find XY's interesting with the holotech, like it's one of those rare times Pokemon actually tries future tech, it's weird they went back to touch screens afterwards, was the holographic tech poisoned from being used because of its associstion with Team Flare in-universe?
They all look like shit.Sure, they look even worse now, but let's not delude ourselves into pretending it was good at any point.
>>736759213the original designs are based on electronic diaries
>>736758660>or use 2 hands like a retardI know your little zoomzoom brain might not remember a world before smartphones but that was the norm in the ye’olden days.
>>736759072>>736759951You're either both retarded or illiterate. I'm talking about the fucking direction buttons not holding it with 2 hands. Using 1 to hold it and 1 to press the direction pad CLEARLY meant to be used with your left thumb despite it being vehemently out of place>zoomerI had the shitty pokedex toy for the original 150 in the 90s. Zoomer derangement syndrome in full force with sub 90iq tards as usual.
It was kino
>>736760297No Mew, though...
>>736758517SM really fucked the Pokedex by having Rotom integrated into it.
>>736758517further proof the series died post bw2
