I haven't really minded a lot of the newer trainer designs in the last few generations but this is just fucking stupid.

Nintendo needs to stop drawing little girls
Why did they stop aging them up like in Black and White?

When are we getting adult only characters

nigga this is a anime only character

Digimon-ass design
>>
>>737581592
Monster design hasn't been super great but nobody talks about how terrible human character designs have gotten.

I think it only truly hit me seeing OP and also browsing the drip options in Champions and seeing half the alternate eye colors are pure unadulterated anime crap like sparkles etc.

SV really kicked it into overdrive. There are some decent characters like Larry and Nemona but BOY are there a lot of losers including the entirety of Team Star, Iono, Jeeta, etc. ZA just is completely trash all the way down.

Also I don't like the addiction to giving brown/pitch black skin to characters with highly saturated primary colors. I thought that one chick in ZA with light purple hair and clothing being black as FUCK was a troll edit.

Kids love those vomit colour characters, but I blame vtubers for actually making them popular.

As with most of the problems in the franchise X and Y were patient zero
>>
>>737581814
New character, so 9. Maybe rolled into 10. I don't know. I don't keep up with the anime
>an influencer pokemon would be kino albeit
After doing it basically three times in a row I dunno. They had Raihan, then they had to skip PLA since it's ye olde japan, and then Iono and Canari

Unironically that's what Gen 7 did. It was bad then and it's bad now.

For the most part, the gen 5 humans aren't that crazy or exaggerated. The gen was definitely a transitional period in a few ways, but I'd still call it within the line on this particular issue.

If anything we need more aging down characters. There's too much aged up slop in Pokeporn as it is.
>>
>>737582871
No, the pastel colours are cuter and easier on the eyes
>>
Animeshit is not pokemon
>>
>>737582957
Gen 3 was the transition point.

That also coincides with it being the gen where the series stopped taking place in the real world and become its own thing with its own lore.

so just Penny

Is a OC for Liko Anime, not for an actual pokemon game.

Kneel.

How does it keep getting worse?
What the fuck man
>>
>>737583108
The point of this character is clearly to advertise Gen 10. The games were supposed to release this year but got delayed
>>
>>737583367
That's bullshit and I don't believe it.
>>
>>737583768
Z-A was also intended to release a year earlier than it did, everything was pushed back a year.

Chuck is literally your only real fact.

You can't make a full-time job out of Pokemon battling unless you're in like the top 1%. They still live in a capitalist society where they have bills to pay.
>>
>>737584245
>(((influencer)))
Why does this word exist? I can tolerate "Youtuber" since that's what the platform is literally called, but why not something like "video maker"?
>>
>>737586159
if capitalist society why are pokemon centers free of charge? that bulbasaur got third degree burns. that shit ain't cheap to treat
"pokemon but with real life health insurance" is the most hilarious thought experiment
>>
>>737586060
Lt. Surge is a victim of retcons. When the series took place in the real world, he was an American soldier that participated in a war. But when the real world was retconned out of Pokemon, he didn't make sense anymore.

>>737582108
nintendo should sent lawyers to euthenize you so we can get some goddamn good character art already
aint nobody want bloody hags

That didn't work once the world stopped being the real world and became its own thing.
>>
>>737586382
It's one of those words that looks nice in interviews or maybe some job application. Video maker would be giving them too much credit and confuse people with someone who can actually film a movie.
>>
Why not wear normal clothing?
>>
>>737582125
Sword and shield is when the character designs went full tumblr, but the rot was starting to manifest in gen 7 with the likes of Ilima, Hapu and that surfer dude
