This thing exemplifies why nugen designs are often shit compared to gen 1 designs.

>cartoon animal instead of a unique ambiguous looking creature like sandshrew/sandslash so it’s completely forgettable
>random markings stapled on because the designers couldn’t think of any way to make the pokemon look interesting
>retarded looking humpback proportions and random spikes

The only reason anyone pretends this thing is a good design is because it’s decent competitively. That’s it.

i'm a diehard genwunner but excadrill is one of my all-time favorites

i never used him competitively, i just liked having him in my squad in the pve storyline in BW

i love the concept and i'm not a raging homosexual art school faggot like you so i dont obsess over nerd shit like proportions and versimilitude or whatever faggot shit you're trying to look smart about

I love this little guy. Has helped me eliminate a lot of cancer with mold breaker or just the classic sand rush sweep. Always has a place on my team.

I’m sorry you don’t know what “random” and “hunchback” mean
>>
>>57150915
Excadrill's markings and spikes are intentional.

Give me a reason why they added Magmar's flame decal other than it would look even more ugly without it.
>>
>>57150956
>Excadrill's markings and spikes are intentional
Because the designers ran out of ideas, yes.

So you have no argument then. Shocking.
>>
>>57150991
My argument is that they intentionally put shitty patterns on it because they ran out of ideas. You said that they did it intentionally. You're literally agreeing with me.

The website started dying because the literal trannies that took over the mod team ban for the dumbest fucking reasons on the boards that actually get any traffic these days. This board is dead because pokemon is straight trash now and nobody cares anymore.

Palworld got a big new update and it currently has 200,000 daily players, that's more than most AAA games on steam these days.

Slowboarding isn't the worst thing. Shitposting generates a lot of activity, so a slow board is usually a peaceful one. Unfortunately, about 80% of anything here that isn't contained to specific threads is shitposting.

How can the spikes be random when they're perfectly symmetrical?

Yeah, low thread/board speeds aren't innately a problem, hell they're often pretty nice, it's just that /vp/ suffers from a very unfortunate case where things get slower because the vast majority of the people who want a non-disingenuous conversation about [literally anything] just get frustrated and leave for good

>>57151889
Gen 8 caused irreparable damage to this board. Nobody talks about the games anymore, and this is the first year in nearly a decade with no new game whatsoever.
>>
>>57150851
>ambiguous looking creature like sandshrew/sandslash

They're just cartoon pangolins.

the red markings are to show the multiple injuries he got you stupid retard

You know, the fun part is that Ponyta is covered in fire. It shouldn't be shaded like that since it produces light.

Not really debunking the allegations there.
Also for a "big" update it added almost nothing of worth.
