How did we go from this to THIS
>>58233607Official looks better than I imagine
>>58233607The fanart is just "Malamar, but spikier". Megas have a clear and intended design behind them.
>>58233639>Megas have a clear and intended design behind them.>but spikierIt's ok when charizard, aerodactyl, scizor, tyranitar, manectric, sharpedo do it tho? Just admit you only care because it's the official one, don't sugarcoat it with muh clear intended designs
>>58233639>The fanart is just "Malamar, but spikier" So it's a better fit for the mega design philosophy then
>>58233649ysgtbia
>>58233649>charizardMegazard X favors close quarters combat. Megazard Y plays into its flying dragon motif.>aerodactylAerodactyl as it appeared in the distant past.>scizorLarger claws means more vicegripping, but also sheer bludgeoning.>tyranitarGodzilla Pokemon's power flows out of control.>manectricLightning dog becomes a lightning bolt to run faster.>sharpedoTorpedo Pokemon becomes more torpedo-shaped to move faster, revealing old battle scars.You're just an idiot and a contrarian.>>58233650Retard
>>58233736>Retard Not an argument
>>58233607The official design is much more creative and soulful desu.
They didn't mention the tentacles curling into a brain
>>58233607All of them are shit but official, once again, is the worst
>>58233630Disagree >>58233639>Malamar, but big brain!
>>58233744It's actually hideous
>>58233814It's an extremely good design, nice to see someone at GameFreak can still do it
>>58233814>hideous = badthere's a reason you will never ever be put in a creative position anywhere nigger
>>58233607>Megamind and Powerline had a kidCool beans
>>58233607
>>58233814your fucking existence is hideous
>>58233736>headcanon explanationsif mega malamar was spiky you could also make something up like it uses it's enhanced spiky tentacles to attack while opponents are hypnotised
>>58233607Mega Evolution diet. Slims ya down pretty good, and good for your brain. >>58233972Oh and HOW!
OH SHIT IT RIPPED OFF WAR OF THE WORLDSOH SHIT IT RIPPED OFF THE MARTIANS FROM METAL SLUGOH SHIT IT RIPPED OFF CTHULUOH SHIT IT RIPPED OFF HEALSLIME FROM DRAGON QUEST
>>58233607Official looks better, except the working out at the library part. WhyMaybe I'll get used to it, I just like the scythe hands
>>58234120all of those are ripping of WotW (besides, we already had a reference to the 1953 movie + Magnezone looks like the top of the Corrêa Tripods + Tentacruel and its gen 9 counterpart already fit the description of the Martians so even if it is the case it isn't that surprising)
>>58233607>Mega Malamar is very thin and with a rainbow colored body ending in a single white point.at the bottom, with very thin tentacles. It is hard to describe better.>Mega Malamar has "gone on a diet".Leaker didn't think the shoulderpads or that the head tentacles now form a knot resembling a brain were worth mentioning?
>>58234205Leakers rarely, if ever are able to perfectly recall details of a video game they playtested and subsequently got shuffled out of the test group from. And since they're not press releases detailing the upcoming game info, they're invariably dodgy at best, bullshit at worst when not backed up by any kind of image from a Game Freak game or missive (like the Alolan starters). There's also the issue of who the person leaking is, what kind of pokémon they're interested in (if any) and what kind of powerlevel regarding pokémon they have (though it seems mentioning you play pokémon would be a good way to get filtered out of playtesting pokémon games on any applications).
>>58234286Yeah I just think it is kind of funny given how spot on he was for Dragonite, Victreebel and Hawlucha, and how much detail he goes into for some of the others. I'm sure there will be others where he glossed over major details eventually though.
>>58234322In dragonites case anyone could guess it would go into the dragonair motif, all the fan designs do that even. but yeah on the restliteral whos like malamar they probably didn't know the hair even changed as they're not familiar with the original
Why the complaints? Beyond the head tentacles being furled up they're similar core designs. This feels like a complaint about hot air.
>>58233639Masterful 100000000 IQ bait
>>58233736> Megazard X favors close quarters combat.Do tell how the design conveys this.
>>58234674in pokemon fandom people make up headcanons and then get upset when gamefreak doesnt validate their mental illness. even sonic guys understand their ocs and stuff aren't official but for some reason pokemon people just cant seem to grasp it.
>All 3 designs are extremely similarWhat is the point here supposed to be, OP?
>>58234322can you imagine if Starmie completely changes and he just forgot
>>58234429>anyone could guess it would go into the dragonair motifyeah but we could have never guessed just how poorly it would do so
>>58234961/Thread
>>58233743not with your attitude, retard.
>>58233639This. It's clearly meant to be Megamind.
>>58235069it still isn't
>>58233649>Charizard XThe popularity of its shiny form and fans wanting a dragon-type charizard created a dragonic Mega.>Charizard YReturning to its dinosaur roots the mega is given a more Pteranodon like head.>AerodactylBased on modern science the mega was given feather-like rock formation.>ScizorScizor's mega is given more samurai-esque features.>TyranitarIts mega calls back to Pupitar>ManetricBased on a Raiju its fur now properly resembles a lightning bolt warping around it.>SharpedoIts given more effective spikes on its nose to more efficiently tear into boats since it can't actually explode.
>>58235100since when does megamind have to stab himself to use his powers
>>58234185>>58234120They're all based on man-o-war jellyfish anyway.
>>58233607Actually such a perfect mega design. Love how it both resembles a central nervous system and also has a over-the-top villain coat
>>58233607This one is good desu. Probably the best we've seen so far of the Nu-megas.
>>58233972woah
>>58234322with all these accessories, Pokemon has entered its Digimon erafarfetch'd and cubone-marowak don't count
>>58235100Megamind itself just conforms to the collective consciousness's vision of what a villain and its silhouette looks like, same as Mega Malamar.
>>58233607I finally figured out why Malamar mega's disturbs me so much it looks like it came from the backrooms
>>58235205Who the fuck looks at Mega Aerodactyl and think the spikes are stand ins for feathers? They’re clearly horns and claws.
