Why did gamefreak made them lamer?
>>
>>56669392
bro 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.
>>
>>56669392
That beta mega venusaur looks like shit ngl
>>
>>56669438
The 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?
>>
>>56669392
They 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.
>>
>>56669392
Why were there 2 mega evolutions for charizard again
>>
>>56669493
to make children to choose the furbait starter instead of picking up the cool kaiju turtle and kaiju toad

lol btw only some of Blastoise's drafts looked better.
>>
>>56669392
Conceptually 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.
>>
>>56669493
Maybe they were scared of making just one and it flopping, so they wanted a safety net with two designs.
>>

Yes, I lik things that look good and not things that look like plastic garbage, thank you for noticing.

>>
>>56669392
They 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.
>>
>>56669741
Why? The beta Venusaur designs are awful.
>>
>>56671756
>not a new evolution.
It's called mega evolution tho
>>
>>56669392
>Venusaur
beta 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.
>Charizard
beta 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.
>Blastoise
beta 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.

Modern Charizard Y is good. It's the unfitting and ugly recolor that was Charizard X that needed to be the bulky Crimson Chin form.

>They don't even look like Mega Evolutions
This 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.
>>
>>56669392
At 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)
>>
>>56677582
Megas 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.
