Stop doing fakemon lmao
>>56801979what was the fakemon it was similar to?
>>56801979And of course fanart ruined everything
goodwe need less of those things, not more
based fanartists preventing more shitty eeveelutions from existing
>>56801979drawfags really do ruin everything
>mfw Flygon mega is gonna suck because all the good designs are too close to one of the millions of Flygon fanarts so now they gotta pick the shit ones that nobody would've liked.Thanks Drawggots.
>>56801979based fanartists making GF run its course for destruction
So I guess it was meant to be Sylveon's pair like how the gen 2 and 4 eeveelutions came in pairs.Or was Sylveon the replacement?
>>56801979They already stole the design for Palafin and Scovillain
>>56801979KILL ALL FANARTISTSEVERYTIME YOU DRAW SOMETHING YOU THINK IS COOL GAME FREAK HAS TO SCRAP ALL THEIR SIMILAR DESIGNS AND GIVE YOU DOGSHIT INSTEAD
>>56801979Imagine it being your entire job to scour deviantart fursonas to make sure your pokemon design doesn't look like someone else's. No wonder designs have gotten worse over the years; they can't make anything simple anymore because it will 100% have already been done before.
Cry about it, drones
>>56801979Then how did Mega Slowbro not get axed after Dorkly drew this?
Won’t be surprised if AI generators are used to create official pokemon nowadays
>>56802115more like they give up on making a good one and mega flygon will never be
>>56802372This, it's why starters get worse and worse each gen.
>>56802357Nah I think this only applies to Eevees because they're the most stockstandard shit imaginable. I hope we never get another Eevee form again, I'm so sick of it and its fans.
>>56801979Gamefreak is so fucking retarded lmao>>56802017Die corpocuck
>>56801979Fakemon ASSrtist ruining everything as usual
>>56802372>>56802445Someone's upset over anthromons popularity i see
>>56801979NOOOOOOOOOO I desperately wanted a flying eeveelution, fuck. Also this disproves the fan theory that they only do one every 2 gens
>>56802465>we will never get that ghost ASS eevee
>>56802527
>>56802372couldn't they just NOT look at fan-made designs. Even if by coincidence they end up making something similar to a fan design and the fan artist somehow sues, it would be some deviantart rando's word over Game Freak's and no jury alive would side against Game Freak in the situation unless Game Freak's Pokemon was a almost exactly the same as the fan's and even then most juries would assume that Game Freak came up with the idea on their own and the similarities are a coincidence
Worst thing I heard today. Fuck. Is this why Pokemon are so bizarre and ugly now? They could have still tried to make a more original one.
>>56802556Yeah you're probably right but it's probably really annoying to deal with like with Seraphine being released in League and then they had a year long lawsuit being a girl had her hair dyed pink. I don't know. Maybe its part of the Nintendo brand to always subvert expectations.
>>56801979This is not an excuse for regieleki and regidrago being added years later.
>>56801979>copy existing windeon fan art>employer notices its a copy>"NoooOoo you can't force me to actually design without copying that's too high value too high cost 10000x artist pay raise for real workFucking clown company.
>>56802336>pink goblin shark>yellow strawberriesnah, i don't think so.
>>56802556If some pokeautist starts raising a stink that an official mon looks like one they drew, it's a legal pain in the ass for them even if they say "we've never seen that fanart before"
>>56801979>After being told that the design was similar to a design created by a fan, it was decided that the design costs would be very high.I’m confused, they’re afraid that a fan is gonna sue or seek compensation for the design? Why would they even give a shit about that? They’re worth billions of dollars, just tell them to fuck off if try causing trouble. If this is something they’re still worried about, GF has yet again established themselves as utter retards. So because there are countless fans world wide showing their excitement and appreciation for the series by drawing artwork, GF goes out of their way to make the series shittier??
>Nintendo is scared of fakemonsFucking faggots they wont pay good artist so they outright scrap any good monsKeep doing fakemon and japaniggers will kill themselves
>>56801979>Design was similar to a fan design>Someone out there fucked over thousands of seething eeveefuckers by drawing a picture and posting it on the internetHoly basadarino
Why doesn’t GF just ask AI to make a design?
>>56802550I'd love to take a bite out of Ghosteon's donut, hehehe
>>56802556>couldn't they just NOT look at fan-made designsYeah. Someone actually did a Mega Diancie months before the official was revealed and it looked pretty similar, I remember. It really doesn’t matter in the long run.
Same company that owns part of them"WE OWN ALL YOUR FAN WORKS AND CAN STEAL THEM ALL WE WANT WITH NO CREDIT"Nintendo moment
All I'm hearing is "we need to flood the internet with as many AIslop Fakemon concepts as possible so GameFreak literally can't make new Pokemon anymore."
DEATH TO ALL DRAWFAGS
>>56801979Source?
>>56802556They're actually forbidden to look at fan designs for exactly this reason, like you can actually get sued if you're caught doing sothis is a pretty standard practice for a lot of media as well
>>56803951The trick is they need to not know about it. Once they saw the design any plausibility goes out the window without straight up lying and if they get caught somehow they just lose the case. Same thing happens with fanfiction, writers of various shows have mentioned they legally have to avoid fanfiction and what not just in case. I joked about how the fan-artist might get harassed if people find out their design killed it, but if anyone is to blame it's whoever mentioned the design to gamefreak... unless it was the legal department. I could totally see them googleing various designs to make sure it doesn't overlap with some random mascot or something and oops, it turns out your eeveelution is almost 1-1 to some fan design and we don't feel like paying money.
>>56802556Japanese companies are super protective of their brand and image. One similar design could cause some schizo to start a lawsuit against them and that wastes money. Look how people reacted to Scovillain's design being "stolen" from some artist. Now, imagine that with a eevelution. Eevees are extremely popular and bound to have some crazy artists willing to sue for compensation over a fakemon.
>>56801979Am I reading this right? The implication of it is that they quietly pay fan artists for "similar" designs? :V"Hey anon, we like your Niggeon. We will pay you few bucks, you'll forget about your beloved OC and scrap everything related to it and we will put similar one in the game!"
Wwwoops, dropped my flying type eeveelution design! Guess GF will either have to pay up or start from square one again :(
>>56804102No, the implication is "they don't want to spend money fighting accusations of plagiarism or risk getting KyoAni'd by a schizo" because money that isn't spent into creating new merchandise or marketing Pokemon media is money lost.
>"MISTA MERRIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! GET YOUR FRABBY PARE GAIJIN ASS IN HERE RAITO NAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!">"Oh god- *ahem* H-Hello, Mister Masuda.

>>56804124There's also the option of tracking down the fan-artist and going, "We have a design similar to yours, here's a couple grand so you can't complain" which is cheaper then court, but has the danger of backlash ranging from people calling you lazy to saying you stole the design even if the artist releases a statement saying otherwise.
>>56804069>yellow strawberrythat's it
>>56801979I am seething and fuming FUCK THOSE FAGGOTS!>>56802032>>56802041Kys
>>56804058>the fan-artist might get harassed if people find out their design killed itYou say as if people wont harass all flying eeveelution fakemon artists
>>56804302The timeline just got dumber
>>56804302Well yeah, but if that link worked and had the image of some random person's flying eevee design with the note that they cut it specifically because of it I fear pokemon fans would be weird. I would like to think they'd go "oh hey man, did you see gamefreak came up with a design that's almost the same as yours? pretty cool" but the internet always disappoints.
>>56804302Yup. Once words breaks out onto the wider internet about the Flying Eeveelution that never was and why it didn't happen, every single artist who ever made a fan eeveelution is going to get harassed endlessly because "YOU'RE THE REASON THEY STOPPED MAKING NEW EEVEELUTIONS AND JUST SHILL EEVEE INSTEAD!"And then they'll go for the typefags, because that's probably why we haven't gotten a new type that they COULD make an Eeveelution out of.
ok im collecting links of pre-first half of 2014 fan flying eeveelution art now to see the shitstorms that will come up
>>56804267you first frowning tourist
>uhmm the next Eevee has to be Dragon to complete the original special typesBTFO
>>56804346Christmas came early for lynchfagsI'm not sure this makes me happy, shit is going to get wild given how rabid eeveefags are
>>56804346We have discord users and some twitterfag lurkers around, it is only inevitable, this will be a fun month
>>56804353If GF’s flying eevee really looked something like this then thank god it got axed
>>56801979Where was this mentioned in the leaks? I haven’t heard anything about it besides this thread.
>>56804461They're still uploading stuff because slow internet makes them have to post this stuff separatedly on GBs, it's literally a terabyte, filled with like 1000 GBs
>>56801979That explained why regidrago and regieleki are so fucking ugly
>>56804483Shut the fuck up, those are the coolest regis. Regigigas is the stupid one, imagine having moss underneath your feet as a normal type, what the fuck gamefreak.
>People upload fakemons>gamefreak's designs are too similar so they have to replace them with shittier ones each gen>People find out and theyll start shitting on fakemon artists>afterwards, there will be barely any fakemon art in the future>gamefreak is gonna start making good designs again without having to worry much about fanart being too similar to the official designsThis is gonna be a net positive guys
>>56804499>Wanting kanto pandering regi The moss grew on regigigas after it was sealed away twice
>>56804540Regicuck your theory fell apart in the first few sentences of that story.
>>56804523>implying fakemon artists won't turn vengeful from getting bullied and instead amplify the output of fakemon designs>implying this won't be what finally makes artists and AIbros unite with the common goal of shitting on Pokemon by flooding the internet with as many fakemon as possible so GameFreak can never make a design ever again without being accused of plagiarism>implying this won't be what finally decides if copyright law either dies at long last or evolves to an inconceivably horrible extent that makes Disney's reign of terror look tame in comparison
>>56801979>sylveon because of new fairy type>flying eeveelution for sky battlesWould have been pretty cool I guess. Still prefer dragon though.
>>56802695I agree they were shit too but they were actually stolen designs look it up
>>56801979so basically, the only way we'll get new eveelutions is if they make whole new types
>>56804069Absolute insanity
>>56804346>every single artist who ever made a fan eeveelution is going to get harassedBASED
>>56804699Yep, but a real new type and not a one-off gimmick like Stellar is extremely unlikely because much like eeveelutions, the fanbase has already beaten GameFreak to the punch on virtually every viable new type they could come up with.
>>56801979I knew that wind city movie was meant to promote an eeveelution
>>56804069This has single handedly convinced me drawing fakemon should have you drawn and quartered.
>>56804699What a retarded leap of logic, the flying eevee got axed because it apparently looked too similar to a fan design, meaning if gf makes something totally original it'll go through.
>>56802372Hasbro does the same, see My Little Pony leaks. That said, they usually conclude that fan-art is not close enough, so they proceed anyway.
>>56802336I vaguely remember this
>>56804353I think it would be best to check late 2013 too
What if they can't come up with good designed pokemon because fanartists already used up most ideas for that
>>56804353
>>56802372>>56802556It's obviously not same people designing pokemon and finding faults with them. I imagine it's a team or at least a guy whose entire purpose is to vet for any possible issues.
>>56804353>>56804812
>>56804731Sound and cosmic are deader than dead
Sunflora is fucked.
Game Freak are so cheap that they won't pay freelancer Nishida for a new Eeveelution. Now that the games sell better than ever on Switch they probably feel they don't need one
>>56804841Budget Lilymon
>>56804748Yeah sure retard yet TEN (10) years have passed and no Flying type eeveelution has been revealed. They cannot come up with something original.
>>56801979Lockstin was wrong.
This isn’t about this leak specifically, but the leaks situation as a whole. Will it have any significant impact on the series going forward?
>>56804973Absolutely. Any ideas they were sitting on which we got exposed to from said leaks have 0 chance of getting revisited now.Also the leak spoiled a couple of upcoming megas and their 30th anniversary celebration plans.There's no doubt changes will be made
>>56804973ZA will probably have to get remade or canceled, too much has been revealed. All of these mons that got revealed which got scrapped now never have a chance to get in the game. Gamefreak will probably have even more guardrails in place for storytelling now due to all the Arceus and Typhlosion shit. Lastly Gamefreak will probably care even less about the franchise. Seeing your shit leak out like this has got to be deflating for the entire company.
>>56804973Fire cassowary along with every other scrapped design now has a 0.01% chance of ever being used (then again if the scrapped flamingo and Flamingo are anything to go by, chances are they were going to be total downgrades anyway). At least it means that they're free to use now so I can cope with fangames.
>>56801979So it's name in Japanese is Tagami, or To Rise or Ascending.So it's name in English might be Aceneon.Ace meaning the best and a Portmanteau of Ascent.A good name for a flying type Eeveelution.
It's started, prepare your popcorn guys
Apparently this is the design they were talking about
>>56805179I wasn't aware gen 7 came out 3 years ago, anon.
>>56805007>got to be deflating for the entire companyGood. Fuck them in the ass for the past decade and even moreso for continuing to be cancer upon videogames with the anti-consumer "complete pokedex" intent
>>56801979several years ago I used to think that the vast amount of Bulbasaur with different plant fanart killed every chance for Gamefreak making a regional variant for it, but thanks to this, I'm certain of it
Western artists won, kneel.
>>56804346>every single artist who ever made a fan eeveelution is going to get harassed endlesslAnd this would be a bad thing, how?
>>56805445How do you know it's western? You think some ukrainian fetish artist couldn't make a fakemon?
>>56805145What a dipshit
if GF asked they could get any fanmon in their games free of charge. This is just a dumb excuse
>>56805463Anything "not Japanese" is considered western to most weebs
>>56805511Sadly not to KYM.They even classify Chink and Southron slop as being Nipponin.
>>56805561I can't believe Japan still persist in conquering asia
>>56805238Feels like it did for me... :(
>>56802425they didn't see itSurprise surprise there was absolutely no consequences. GF was stupid for not releasing flying Eevee
>>56805145>there are drones that will take this shit in a literal sense
>>56805179>implying gf looks at western artists
>>56801979Apologize pokekeks.Flynn was right.
>>56802041AgreedAll GF had to do was buy the design and it's royalties.
>>56801979KEK
>>56804195KEKAROOOO
>>56804812I wonder if it was this one. This artwork used to be everywhere.
>>56801979i never believed the theory GF avoids making designs similar to fakemon, fuck.It also makes sense that their last eeveelution was fairy since it was a new type people didn't know about.Dragon Eevee never ever.
>>56805830it's still a stupid decision >people are making designs of my game, that means I can't use designs of a franchise ownMeanwhile Palworld just blatantly copies pokemon. Deserved for retards
>>56805830Could get a Stellar type though.
>>56805841>it's still a stupid decisionoh don't get me wrong, it's absolutely a stupid decision. Eevee is their design, every fan eeveelution is bound to look similar to it, they shouldn't give a shit about any of this.>>56805846I think stellar will remain a gimmick for Paldea only, after all not even base form Terapagos has it as its type.
>>56801979Seems like they don't care about that rule anymore, considering how Raging Bolt turned out.
>>56805940I hope so
So I'm sure she was supposed to get a flying eeveelution at some point before they cancelled it. All the movie promo was insisting heavily on that wind festival, I was sure at the time it was to introduce a flying type eeveelution, even though it wasn't a special type.
>>56804499arceus posted this
>>56802372>reveal starter silhouettes in corocoro>some artist guesses a design perfectly>now you have to scramble to re-design the starter so it doesn't look like you stole the design from a fan
>>56802425And yet that's what we got for Mega Slowbro
>>56803981This. We must generate every possible mega evo just to piss off the team which scouts for similarities
>>56805846Stellar is a gimmick type, it's only use for power ups and not actual mons.Also they already made stellar eeveelutions so if GF is still going by that retarded rule, if he'll ever make a new Eevee it will be of a new type (but they won't make a new, permanent type after fairy).
>>56801979>modern pokemon designs are so bad because they cannot top what some random dude made while bored.Lmao. I kneel fan artists.
we need to flood the market with shitty objectmon fakemons so they can't make more of them officially
>>56807984We need to flood the internet with Fakemon in general so GF has to stop with Pokemon all together.
>>56808022Keyed?
>>56805846They could've in the hypothetical event Stellar was a proper type, but now they can't, because there's already countless Stellar Eeveelutions online.
>>56805940The concept for this shitmon was so boringly predictable even fakemon artist got it right
>>56804745Why?
>>56805940Depressing that the fakemon is better in every way
>the reason it took GameFreak so long to make a dolphin Pokemon is because due to how much people wanted one, the internet was flooded with dolphin concepts of all kinds, preventing GameFreak from conceiving and adding one to the final product>the ONE (1) time they think they FINALLY have something, Finizen and Palafin get called out for ripping off a fakemon
>>56802465>>56802527>>56802550He did a flying typeThat artist is an actual non-doujin mangaka these days, unsurprisingly the manga is about shortstack anthro foxes.
>>56804812I feel this is the most likely, this one was very popular. Might literally mean all these type evolutions are fucked for a while lol
So.. how the fuck does the flying eevee look like?
>>56802550>>56808475ghost ass pleases my dick but i wouldn't want it in the games, it's pretty generic
>>56801979Eeveelutions have shitty BST so this is fine
>>56808475>the manga is about shortstack anthro foxes.I wanna rape them...
>>56802527>we will never get the normal/stellar type eeveelution
>>56805940>>56808357>>56808466>right onelong tentacles for no reason generic/boringno theme>left oneclever japanese punpersonality hair looks like a storm cloudthis is why most fanarts suck
>>56801979Seems like a prime opportunity to keep designing fake Eeveelutions, then. Even ones for non existent common fan types like Sound, Beast, Cyber, Holy, etc. to keep Gamefreak on their toes.
>>56811201Yes, the official one has more thought and inspiration, but the execution is bad. Ideally, combining the lightning bolt whiskers, storm cloud mane, and other elements with the anatomy of the fan design would make the design the best of both worlds.
>>56811267Why not make shitty fake eeveelutions so that the official eeveelution doesnt look like shit?
game freak must hate the darknwindie guy who makes fakemon every day and has thousands of them
>>56812061yeah and hundred are rip-offs of rip-offs
So like, did the Twitterfags attack any fakemon artists or whatever?
>>56805803and that is copy of the one TR's Rockin' made in the gen 3 era.
>>56805007What was revealed about ZA
>>56810927
>>56808475What's the artist's name? I'd love to check out his manga work.
>>56802017>>56804745>>56805431Nah, if they're not willing to pay a few hundred bucks and maybe a credit as a consulting artist, they deserve to be cucked by fanartist. Most pokemon artist would be thrilled just to be a part of an official project.
>>56804812>klinklangeon
>>56801979Why can't they just ignore that bullshit. Pokemon is fucking huge, it should come to no surprise that there are people who will try to imitate it via fakemon.
>what if they pay the artists for their designs That's a very dangerous thing to do, you attract the worst of the worst by doing that and it sets a legal precedent that can backfire horribly.
>>56814600They absolutely can and the likelyhood of it backfiring is essentially nill.Its just them being way way too cautious.
>>56804812This is the one that comes to mind, it's been around since before gen 5
>>56815237Pretty much anytime it's happened nothing really came of it. The first to come to mind is when bioshock infinite released someone drew fan-art of a ice plasmid called old man winter, and when the dlc's came out guess what they included?People asked the fan-artist if he knew and he said "yeah, they paid me some cash in exchange for the design!" and that was the end of it. I would only assume here it'd be alot more money with pokemon, especially with it being one of the main mascots of the entire franchise. With a fakemon there's always the chance it ends up being a dud that no one cares about, but an eevee would be guaranteed money to the heat death of the universe... I'd demand residuals.
>>56815367>BioshockMain problem with doing this is that the Pokéfandom is a fucking million time larger than Bioshock's.The nanosecond people know there is a one-in-a-billion chance your fakemon get officialized, the internet will be utterly flooded non-stop until you literally can't design something without finding at least 12 carbon copies made by different autists who have nothing to do than try every possible combination of shape, color, gimmick or proportion.And they will all demand money for anything a bit close since that's now "the rule".Something that make for a nice story in a limited fandom can turn ugly real fast with something as large and fanatical as the pokémon fanbase.
>>56814392Nobody would be that retarded to take such a lousy offer from a multi-billion franchise no matter how much of a Pokemon fan they are. You demand either huge upfront pay or royalties, no in-between. No surprise they thought the risk wasn't worth it.
>>56815367>Pretty much anytime it's happened nothing really came of itEver heard of a man called Ken Penders?
>>56815612Everyone was tired of the echidna manIt was a sacrifice to keep him away
>>56815612Yeah sega didn't feel like dealing with him so they said "whatever" and moved on to the point they've recreated every thing he brought to the comics and washed their hands of everything else. They could have continued suing his ass even without the contracts they lost but didn't feel like his creations were worth it.Idk what point you thought you were making. He makes 0 dollars off sonic anymore while threatening to make another lara-sue comic meanwhile ian flynn keeps trucking along. The only reason to mention him is to laugh anytime he copes about his relevance to the autism generator that is sonic the hedgehog. If nintendo paid for a fan-design the story would begin and end at the signature on the dotted line.
>>56815659>If nintendo paid for a fan-design the story would begin and end at the signature on the dotted line.No, no it wouldn't everyone and their mother would start pumping out fan works, as if they don't already, expecting to get paid.Why would you think otherwise when the entire reason Nintendo and TPC C&d fan works is because the creators always try to monetise them?
>>56815679>>56815659Remind me of that story about a kid sending a drawing to Disney (I think?) and receiving a response openly stating that they had burned the drawing without looking at it - because otherwise they could be sued for plagiarism if anything in the future was vaguely looking like it.
>>56801979>scrapped because it might look like one of the 6 millions fan-made Eevee.Virgin "noooo, I can't do something similar!!§§" PokémonvsChad "here is the line past which you can get sued for copy-pasting, and I will rub my balls all over it" Palworld
>>56815717>currently getting sued>chad
>>56815721Not for copy-pasting the designs tho, meaning the ball-rubbing stayed at least 1 micron away from completely crossing the line.
>>56814600They've clearly changed their tune since cutting the Eeveelution. Scovillain and a few more gen 9 Pokémon were called out (hate that term) for being too similar to fakemon designs that were around on the internet for close to 10 years and GF didn't appear to give a single fuck about what the twittards screeched.
>>56805830>they had this discussion for an unconventional eeveelution (objectively there aren't many flying type Eevee online since it is a type that is hard to depict as an eeveelution)>this implies the popular types were off the table even before thatDragon, Steel, Ghost - just forget about it.
Why would fan-art mean anything? They could just have their lawyers compile evidence that it was derivative of their work, i.e. "pokemon fan-art", and they own pokemon. It's a fan-eeveelution, and they own eevee. Then, just prove that they didn't copy it. And it's not a hard ask to do that. Not to mention that some random deviantart tranny isn't going to be able to pay for their lawyer fees.
>>56815946>They could just have their lawyers compile evidence that it was derivative of their work, i.e. "pokemon fan-art", and they own pokemon. It's a fan-eeveelution, and they own eevee.The problem is that there's almost no way to prove that. If the design predates theirs then any material made after the fact doesn't matter.>isn't going to be able to pay for their lawyer fees.People really overstate the need for lawyer fees when anything clear cut can just be represented by yourself after seeing a consultant.
