Give her boots! And fishnets!

>>58197410Is this meant to illustrate how fans are better than GF? Because it's not doing a very good job. This isn't any more creative than Starmie Longlegs
>>58197410They saw people laughing at the Pokémon in the Freakleaks and decided that Pokemon fans liked it when a Pokemon is reduced to a humiliating meme. Sucks Starmie got caught in the crossfire.
>58197523Take your (You) and go
>>58197523You're retarded, Game Freak and TPC don't pay any attention to fans or memes
>>58197410That's at least better than the "just starmie with long legs" it's allegedly gonna be.
>>58197547Hey I’m on your side, if the majority of Pokémon fans weren’t assholes and irony poisoned secondaries, game freak would focus on more dignified megas and Starmie would get the mega it deserve instead of becoming a family guy gag
>>58197563>They've been nonstop referencing reddit tier shit like the horse meme and Wo-Chien reaction on the official Pokemon pages across quite a few platforms>"No, trust me, Gamefreak absolutely doesn't care about le heckin memerinos!"
>>58197590There is no such as "irony poisoning", you're just a fucking retard
>58197590You've been reminding everyone of the "FreakLeaks" in several threads even when it's not relevant to the conversation like you're some kind of obsessed autistic schizo, you don't really think your shitposting is subtle, do you? Again, revel in the fact I acknowledged you at all like the sad little troll you are and fuck off
>>58197703NTA, I just wanna see if image works.
>>58197626>t. grew up online after 2010
>58197703Yeah being spammed with an unfunny shitpost sure sucks huh. But fair enough. I’ll only bring it threads were the secondaries started shit first or threads that are low quality crap anyway
>>58197769well, did it?
>>58197410Forced cetitan
What's with this franchise attracting people that love defending dogshitAnd not for any personal reason like liking the design, no, just the contrarian urge to defend their beloved company and "spite" anyone who dares to say anything negative
>>58197519>the second star is now yellow making the long legs also double as a shooting star motifIt's literally the same but better.
>>58198186Becuase most pokefags are secondaries who don’t really like pokemon, they’re just leeches hanging on because it’s the biggest franchise in the world. They’re only in it for the memes and porn. The worse something is the more memes that can spawn from it.
>>58198186We're in an era where everything has to be considered peak and absolute cinema by people who run slang into the ground.
>>58198229Dude, this meme is so fucking funny it makes me wanna swerve without looking
>>58198468Not beating the secondary allegations
>>58198511>being 28 and posting like this
>>58198587yep, that's me. now prove you aren't underage.
>>58197519
>>58198511why are so obsessed with my birthday? Are you a pedo or something?
>>58197519Actually die in a flaming car wreck you fucking shithead contrarian ape.
It should have stayed the same and had the gem project a hologram body that fights like a jojo stand.
>>58199437what are you talking about, it's me, your friend typhlosion!
>>58197410I can't believe Starmie got a mega before Klinklang and Flygon and it all it did was gained two long legs
>>58200170ONE JOKE
I like Rocket edition fakemega Starmie
>>58197563they've literally adopted fan terminology multiple times you know
>>58197410>staryu>starmie>starus
>>58197410true, last games with consistently good designs was sun/moon
>>58198186says the 'tod?
>>58198587it's a zoomer
>>58198186My opinion is that we haven't seen the actual design yet and just assuming it'll be shit based on the description of a leaker is fucking retarded.
Starmie is genderless. We all know this.
>>58197547>>58197703Someone get this racistic psycho hothead outta here
>>58197613What horse meme? I'm out of the loop.
>>58203685I assume they mean this one.
>>58203795And how did GF reference it?
>>58197410Now this is a long Starmie I'm fine with.So of course it's not gonna be that.
>>58198220>>58197459It looks like a pair of scissors.
>>581974101. Modern Pokemon designs are so bad because all the good ideas were already taken by fan artists.2. the Mega Starmie we got is supposed to be like a guy in a suit, because it continues the Ultraman theme
>>58205232>all the good ideas were already taken by fan artists.This. Fan artists need to stop making up Pokemon. They're the reason we don't get cool designs anymore. Look at what happened with the flying type Eeveelution, fans got mad and sued GF over a similar design and they stepped back because those plebs aren't even worth fighting a legal battle over
>>58205242>fans got mad and sued GF over a similar design that didn't happen, they scrapped it long before anyone outside of GF even knew about it
>>58205232>UltramanIt's older than that.
>>58205232>>58205242>Modern Pokemon designs are so bad because all the good ideas were already taken by fan artists.this doesn't happen. not only do they not care about this; even if they did they could just steal the designs and the fans would have no recourse. copyright laws exist to protect the IP of large companies, not individuals, and the large company in question can easily defend itself by saying the fans uploading fake pokémon designs are infringing on their IP by calling their designs pokémon.they'll never even have to do this though, because they have plausible deniability that they've ever seen whatever fakémon people would say they're ripping off, which is basically impossible to prove one way or the other. and honestly in all likelihood they ACTUALLY HAVEN'T seen those designs, because thousands of fakémon are posted to the internet literally every day. this entire line of reasoning is complete nonsense, total schizo shit no matter how you look at it. no idea why it gets parroted so much here.>tl;dr they aren't considering fan designs and even if they were they could just steal them if they wanted to
>>58205483>no idea why it gets parroted so much hereIt's a troll, acting stupid is the point (because modern trolls are genuinely stupid and can't figure out the reel meaning of trolling). And it's even better for them when someone, like you, takes it seriously.
>>58205430what's this?at any rate it shows that Pokemon was essentially Ken's mugen
>>58197410Holy sovlhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=uJTBq2gWEhs
>>58205483Unironically blame the FreakLeaks. Aside from dropping the average IQ of the Pokémon fandom by an entire Standard Deviation, and flooding the fandom with shitposting secondaries, there were notes about a flying type Eeveelution being rejected for resembling a fan design too much. Of course there’s no other context given with thw note and it was likely translated with AI (known to be unreliable) so it could have meant something more along the lines “the design looks like something a fan would make and is too generic”.
>>58206112>the design looks like something a fan would make and is too generic”.The fact that they think this is completely backwards. The fan designs are closer to the original spirit of Pokemon than they are trying to be original and falling back to dumb internet memes like Alolan Exeggutor, Dudunsparce and LeChonk
>>58206112How was it AI? I thought the translation was normal
>>58206116Dudunsparce is infinitely more in line with the "original spirit" of Dunsparce than any of the hundreds of generic "Dunsparce but he's a cool dragon now" fakemon designs. It's supposed to be extremely rare but boring and unimpressive, that's the whole point, that's literally the thing that it's based on.
>>58206112so fans need to make more mematic fakemon designs in order to stop gamefreak from making more mememons?
>>58207120Why even give it an evolution in the first place if it is so important that it remains unimpressive after evolving?
>>58197410That's actually really cool and if the real thing ends up being anywhere near that I'll be happy, but the fact it already exists means the canon one can no longer look like it (supposedly, we all know nintendo's lawyers could win any fan attempt to argue authorship)Instead of it literally being long starmie it's a clever twist on a shooting star
>>58206112>flying type Eeveelution being rejected for resembling a fan design too much.they should have adjusted the design and secondly where did they find this design?
>>58207347to give it an even rarer form that's still unimpressive, it's literally a perfect evolution
