there are people who died waiting for Dunsparce to evolve

>>56979302
And the people who cry about it were never real fans of Dunsparce, and missed the point of it entirely.

Reminder that we had to contend with this because fans already used up all the "cool" Dunsparce evolution ideas for their fakemons.
A fakemon a day keeps the good designs away!

As much as people get bothered over GF banning designs for looking too similar to fans, I can't exactly think its unwarranted protocol. Pretty sure some random fanartist who made a fire/grass pepper fakemon some years before S&V got mad that scovillain was a thing, and it was spread around for a while when Scarlet and Violet first dropped and people were pissed over the bugs.
>>
>>56979400
Yup, people are ravenous for attention and an opportunity to badmouth Pokemon for "truly evil" practices. It's also why it took them so long to make a dolphin, because the fact they hadn't leapt on it as soon as Gen 3 hit meant there were already way too many fan designs out in the wild, so when they DID finally get around to Finizen and Palafin, guess what happened there?
>>
>>56979312
And every single one of those designs were boring, predictable ideas of making it some majestic or fearsome dragon. None of these people realized Dunsparce is a dumb, goofy Pokemon based on an equally dumb and goofy cryptid, and any evolution it got that didn't continue the joke would be out of character.
>>
>>56979418
And "Dunsparce but bigger" is the literal worst way to continue the joke. Even having it evolve into a literal turd would have been more creative.
>>
>>56979427
nuh uh
>>
>>56979411
And the thing is according to the teraleak, that flying type eevee was rejected because it looked too close to a fanmade version that was popular at that time. I can't help but wonder if all the "obvious" ideas for pokemon were skipped over for the sake of not stepping on toes and getting shit for it
>>
>>56979312
kek, I'm drawing same flying eevees right now.
>>56979400
I've mentioned this before but, they could just not look at fan designs, In the off chance that something looks similar enough for there to be a problem and assuming the fans would be bothered to take Game Freak to court, it would be some rando's word over the creators of the richest video franchise in the world.
Even in your scovillian example, nothing came of it.

The cherry on top is that it's absolutely worthless in battle compared to every other Gen 9 crossgen evo, and this is the same generation that added a metric fuckton of powercreep bullshit mons. It had to have been on purpose.
>>
>>56979302
It's a tsuchinoko, yeah?
So I don't understand the point of it getting another segment.
I'm not well versed in youkai. ...or is the tsuchinoko a cryptid?
whatever. I love dunsparce, and this evolution is terrible.

>>56980434
How far up your own ass do you have to be to not consider the real thing "Dunsparce but bigger".
>>
>>56982543
No, they're going to give it another evolution with another body segment or two in a decade because if there is one thing GF likes it is to run already bad jokes into the ground.
>>
>>56979302
Yes, it's perfect.
Gen 9 may be almost exclusively shit designs, but this is not one of them.

Not as far as you have to be to consider it good.

>Game Freak can't create new good designs because people already used up potential good designs
The kind of excuses people come up with for Game Freak's incompetence and carelessness are hilarious.
>>
>>56982684
No, this is literally the case based on the Teraleak.
There was going to be a Flying Type Eeveelution in Alola, but they scrapped it because it was a "high risk" due to how many fan designs were floating out there on the internet, especially in Japan.
This is presumably what Project Eevee was originally leading up to, but in realizing that there's way too many fan designs for every single type, and even some unofficial types, they had to redirect HARD, which wound up being to their benefit, as now Eevee is now one of the biggest shillmons, and it doesn't even have to rely on its evolutions anymore to do so.

If you really liked Dunsparce at all, you liked it for being kind of doofy, lame, pathetic even. Dunsparce's appeal was its just a fuckin worm. Sure the dramatic and impressive fan evos were fun, but they were fun because of how well they juxtaposed against the real design. After years of buildup and fan agrandization, what we got is an anti-climax, but an intentional one. It's just as sad, weak, and doofy. It's perfect, and if you don't like this kind of design I dont think you were into Dunsparce in the first place.
>>
>>56982851
no, yawnie will very often pose as a Gen 4 fag to bait borts. Any newfags will fall for it, not realizing that the Golden Era doesn't fight, for the DS games remain the pinnacle time for the games.
It's all downhill 3DS onward, with a slight uptick during SM and PLA. But if you graph it, it's a steady downward trend.
Weird because the sales are inverse to the quality in the same time frame.
Theres always the possibility that I'm wrong, and have been wrong all my life, and yawnfag is vindicated.
But I doubt it.
>>
>>56981966
It is, actually. Often times writers lawyers will advise them to just, don't look at fanfiction, don't look at reviews, don't look at predictions, because if that's your policy then that's also your defence. If someone's predictions match your story, you can just say you never saw it. This is an established fact.

That being said, why doesn't gamefreak just buy the designs? Just go to a creator and say "hey yeah we noticed your fan design is really similar to one we're working on. We'll give you $500 to shut up about it and let us do our thing." Like, that can't be that hard to do.
>>
>>56979418

The nips are too egocentrical to accept help, they would never.
Meanwhile, valve did it and everyones loves them for it

>>56983267
Likely because they'd still need to pay a yearly stipend or royalty to the creator for its use (they bought it, but Anon created it and is likely due such things due to not being part of GF staff, who work under contract and create designs for the company).
This could also be a throwback to the Lugia/Shudo deal and a vehement dismissal of entertaining any kind of effort in the future, meaning it was likely always the case since they first took steps to protect their IP.

>Often times writers lawyers will advise them to just, don't look at fanfiction, don't look at reviews, don't look at predictions, because if that's your policy then that's also your defence.
That's not how that works, at the end of the day it's a game of "he said, she said" regardless of what you do, I mean you're acting like lying isn't a thing. Anyway, ultimately they're going to go by dates for an objective answer, most likely using the earliest version of a piece of media with the problematic character/material etc in it.

I've been pretty ambivalent towards the critter. But I can't see it suddenly becoming an epic dragon; it's a fat, cowardly little thing that lives deep in the ground. And unlike your Magikarp or Wimpod that become fearsome beasts upon evolution, it isn't audaciously terrible in battle, just mediocre/below average. It doesn't seem to be special for anything other than rarity.

It's a joke Pokemon. It's ridiculously hard to find, yet when you show it off to your friends it's completely useless in battle. It's like if Feebas didn't evolve.

It's funny and unique. It's like how Dan was added to Street Fighter as a joke character who sucked, but people liked him so much they kept using him and made him more viable in future games.

I never mentioned gen 5 in my post, all I did was criticize cross gen evos from the 3D era. gen 5 wasn't mentioned because it has no cross gen evos. therefor, saying "cross gen evos after gen 4" is technically the same thing as saying "cross gen evos starting with the 3D era". putting that aside, gen 5 was still the last gen that overall had good designs

people had been making arcanine fanart revolving around it looking more like the actual guardian dog statue and its hisuian form was designed based on that very same concept, which proves GF design philosophy and fanart design can still overlap.

Except regardless of which came first, there’s no reason for a court to assume that a multimillion dollar company would need to steal ideas from a some nobody even if designs happens to be similar since some ideas just inherently more likely to show up, even more so since fakemon makers actively try to use fakemon concepts that would fit with game freak would make. The ideas would have to be near copies for Game Freak to even have a slight chance or losing.
