Why did gamefreak made them lamer?
>>56669392bro all the beta Mega Charizards and Mega Venusaurs are pretty bad, the better Mega Blastoises are actually pretty close to what we got minus the mustache.It's just that the artstyle is different but it was never going to look like the top anyway, the idea is for the final concept to be adapted into a Sugimori-like style.
>>56669392That beta mega venusaur looks like shit ngl
>>56669438The top designs and artstyle are closer to Gen 1-3 Sugimori than the final ones. They clearly have the ability to not make things lame and gay, why won't they?
>>56669438>Beta mega charizard is bad The mega charizard we got are just a fucking recolor and charizard with more spikes how are these supposed to be better?
>>56669392They don't even look like Mega Evolutions, more like another regular evolution. Maybe that's why, the Megas we got look similar enough to their base forms compared the proto designs
Charizard and Venusaur look a lot nicer in their final designs.
>>56669392Why were there 2 mega evolutions for charizard again
>>56669493to make children to choose the furbait starter instead of picking up the cool kaiju turtle and kaiju toad
>>56669451>thing>thing, gen 1-3 artstyle-likeNiggas really suck off ugly trans designs purely off nostalgia faggotry, "beta looks like gen 1-3 sugimori so i like it!!"
>>56669392>posting the bottom view sheet for Charizard because even retarded OP knows the design looked like shitlol btw only some of Blastoise's drafts looked better.
>>56669392Conceptually I like what they were trying for with venusaur. I always disliked the mega we got, it felt like a cop out to just make the flower bigger. The beta designs were trying to work with it a little more. I like how the beta blastoise tries to incorporate elements of wartortle, but they couldve placed it elsewhere instead of a stache.
>>56669493Maybe they were scared of making just one and it flopping, so they wanted a safety net with two designs.
>>56669522Yes, I lik things that look good and not things that look like plastic garbage, thank you for noticing.
>>56669522>people really like things because they look like the old kino instead of nugen DEI wokeshityes.
>>56669534You wish you had a chin like this, chud.
>>56669392I have Sugi so fucking much
>>56669642Kek, stool chin
>>56669392Sugimori has a rule that Pokemon can't be cool. They deliberately make them look retarded because they think it's cute
>>56669853>they think it's cuteno, because he doesn't want any competition for Gengar and Charizard
>>56669853Weren't megas supposed to be "Cool"?
He's so fucking cool. Even if we get Z megas they'll still fuck it up.
>>56669522>"WOW WHY DO YOU LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL ARTSTYLE AND HATE ITS SOULLESS CORPORATE IMITATION SO MUCH"Tell me you were born after 9/11 without telling me you were born after 9/11. It's baffling to me how they managed to create an entire generation with absolutely no aesthetic sense.
>>56669889>>56669642reminds me of American zilla
>>56669889What a fucking chad i love this guy
>>56669642>>56669889>CAN YOU FEEL MY HEEEEAAAAAAARRRRTTT
>>56669392so everyone spamming "we wuz robbed" when it come to the proto mega’s are shitposting/genwaring borts right? There’s no way digislop like op posted could posibly have any genuine fans.
>>56670780All way better than the slop gamefreak has pulled out
>>56670780You just have shit taste
>>56670780People only crave it cuz they didnt have it same would happen if the situation was reversed
>>56670830>muh facial haïr memegood riddance
>>56670830>Bulba: child>Ivy: teenage>Venu: adult>Mega: ElderI hate facial hair on Pokemon, but this made more sense than the gay flower trash we got
>>56670830>Mega venusaur is a elder toad with white beard and hair >Just like sage mode jiraiya it's not fair...
>>56670830this is so much better than what we got
>>56669392They were afraid of ripping off digimon too obviously
>>56670830>>56670950>The marking around the eyes HOLY SHIT
>>56670830>>56670860>>56670950i'm so sad that we lost an actual creative evolutionFuck Shitimori
>>56669392>Blastoise shell arms can be used to cover it's head that's cool as fuck
>>56669889
>>56671406Aww man I should play this game again.
>>56669889Big chin dragon
>>56669493GF just loves that lizard, it gets special treatment more than any other mon, besides maybe pilachu+It's a little incentive to buy both X and Y games
>>56669889This niggas mewing streak is unmatched
Jesus Christ this is depressing. Seeing these and ending up with what we got. What were they thinking? ;_;
>>56671525They have to appeal to females and gay kids.
>>56671525The grass is always greener, if we got these you niggers would be whining about chins and beards while clamoring for more "subtle" changes or some shit instead.
>>56671601As a Venusaur fan who hates his mega evo's retarded design, I promise you I wouldn't be.
Blastoise bros....
>>56671601Nah Beta Blastoise looks cool as shitFuck this franchise
>>56669392I hate this mega Venusaur.
>>56669392They don't want mega forms to look too different from the base forms. The idea is that megas are the powered up version, not a new evolution.
>>56669741Why? The beta Venusaur designs are awful.
>>56671756>not a new evolution.It's called mega evolution tho
>>56669392>Venusaurbeta looks like a whole different species. the one we got meanwhile looks too similar to normal saur. all it has going for it is the extra foliage being jungle like. would say the least offensive megas are the ones closest to the OG designs, but its still no risk/no reward. a small downgrade, as gen 6 tends to babify designs, especially when making new forms, such as the flower and markings on this one. the modern artstyle does injustice to megas if the appeal to many is to invoke pokegods.>Charizardbeta zard is hideous, un-charizard like face, the stove holes dont belong on any of the more naturalistic fleshy creatures and the thick wing segments also look like shit. the fire pipe idea would be great on a new original mon but not here. final's X is too similar to basic in build and Y reuses basic's colors making people also see it as too similar, so same problem as venusaur. X does have the cool flame mouth and colors while Y has the unique horns, ripped wings, and arm wings, and they both also have the underbelly extend to its jaw which is an underrated detail. would be peak if they merged them instead of doing 2.>Blastoisebeta and modern are hardly different. I like the idea of using wartortle fur or whatever but hate modern facial hair designs. this one didn't do it badly but it would've looked worse once sugi drew it. arm shells are stupid. ideally it would keep the main tank canon but I always thought its Gmax looked cooler anyway, which I can't say for the other two.
>>56671756wrong
>>56669392TPC* not gamefreak
>>56669392all versions are ugly. the question is why they intentionally favor a philosophy of ugliness. this agenda looks very jewish
>>56669392Beta designs works better as dynamax designs
>>56669392>Gay mustache >Plant looks retarded >Charizard has gross looking wings that attach to his head. What we got was better. Mega Venusaur is still the best.
>>56669392pokemon are not allowed to be cool
>>56669392Modern Charizard Y is good. It's the unfitting and ugly recolor that was Charizard X that needed to be the bulky Crimson Chin form.
you want cool well you are fucked
Mega Blastoise getting Wartortle features back is sick, I wish they kept it. Like Ampharos.
Lol this artstyle is so blatantly western yet you think it's real? When the faker reveals himself I'm thinking Spain will be the culprit
>>56672122>beta and modern are hardly different.It regained its pre-evo's elements
the beta megas look like they'd belong more in pokemon scarlet and violet. some ancient chinese shit
>>56673506Only sage venusaur.Blastoise is traditionally Japanese, and Charizard is western.
>>56673442Drop the mustache and this one is pretty good.
>>56669392>>56669438I like the mustache personally. It takes a design aspect from Wartortle (the waves) and brings to mind military officers
>>56669392Beard venasaur is the best.
>>56669392they looked too scary for children
It's time for sugimori to retire. He barely does anything but draw lolis now anyways
>>56669392sugimori hate Venasaur funny how he is the shittiezt mega
>>56669392This one's better desu
>>56677202
>>56669392These all look like fucking garbage compared to the final release, and those look like shit too
Any concepts for other megas?
>>56669392>>56677202>>56677298they really wanted to make Venusaur a more frog-like but they ended up with just a flower on head?what a shitty company
>>56669466>They don't even look like Mega EvolutionsThis would have established what "Mega Evolutions" should look like, and I think it would've been a cooler standard for the others to follow. The beta designs really feel like a pokemon maxed out
They all look like shit.
How many megas are actually good designs? Off the top of my head its basically just Sableye and Kangaskhan which are mostly unchanged, the rest mostly look like shit.
>>56669392At some point they probably planned megas to be actual additional evolution stages, which i assume is the reason why those concepts are so different from the OG designs and why Venusaur is depicted as old/aged in most of the drafts.That being said, there is always the next gimmick for similar designs to show up, with those leaks we are seeing how much stuff got recycled over the years (honestly that proto mega zard could have been repurposed as a past paradox)
>>56677582Megas are the type of shit I scribbled as an elementary schooler. They're just bigger and angrier looking versions of existing pokemon. That said, the concept versions look so much better it's insane.
>>56669392they look better though
>>56677582Beedrill
>>56677582Alakazam, Gyarados, Ampharos, Gardevoir, Banette, Medicham, Pidgeot, Altaria, Rayquaza, Lopunny, and Diancie.
>>56669392If you like this shit, you'd be better off here>>>/vg/498568265
>>56671703>watching that kikekys nigger
>>56671703>furfag tranny hates a non-furry designno shit
>>56669392>aboveRegional variants.>belowMegas.I like both designs for different applications.
>>56669392try selling plushies of the beta designs.reminder that they get much more money from license money than from the games.
>>56679925She got the Typhlosion stare
>>56680057reminder that people need to actually buy the plushies/figures/cards for them to make money off of them
>>56669918out of 10 xd
>>56669522you had to use "trans" out of nowhere because you weren't articulate enough to think of another insult.this site is 18+
>>566693923ds can't handle those
>>56669392easier to model.
>>56682163reminder that you're 25-50 years old and not the target audience
>>56669392Gamefreak hates fun
>>56669392Because it's not familiar enough for the KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fags
>>56669392Still hate Edgyzard. Not even Shadow Lugia looked this edgy.
