What the fuck is this garbage
>>
>>58240181
An attempt at subtly replacing Raichu with Pikachu.

Jackalope if I had to guess. Still looks goofy as hell though.

There are worse designed Megas overall, but these both are the weakest designs revealed today. I don't think the Pikachu tail really works on Raichu's design. Still, Raichu getting any attention at all is nice, I suppose.

Raichu was my most anticipated Mega. Nice to see separate Mega forms again, but the X and Y motif is too unsubtle. The Pikachu callback is fine for Y, but also for X? I'd rather have Gorochu.

Calyrex's hook was riding on horses. Unless Pikachu starts using Charizard as a steed and it's an actual form I ain't buying it.

This literally looks like AI that got confused. Two sets of ears? Or big protrusions coming out of its ears? Why did it revert to Pikachu ears and tail shape regardless?
>>

>>
>>58240816
Basically this, they wanted to create Mega Pikachu but technically can't because of their massive regret of creating Raichu, so they basically turned Mega Raichu into Pikachu. They are literally sticking Pikachu parts on it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the same stunt with Eevee, since that's basically the co-mascot of the series next to Pikachu these days. Yeah, great, pick the Pokemon KNOWN FOR EVOLVING INTO DIFFERENT FORMS and want to downplay making it evolve anymore because mascot-mons must stay in their form. At least Eevee has some leeway in that people like the Eeveelutions and they are easy to market into themed merch while far less people like Raichu and it's less marketable.

At least it's more coherent, but the tails devolving is stupid. Two proper Raichu tails would be cool.

>>58240925
People are calling it AI because it's design literally looks like the kind of shit AI tends to do when it fucks up making a Pikachu and/or a Raichu. Duplicating body parts, especially limbs and tails, as well as adding crazy extra parts like this is common. These literally look like something someone would have seen telling an AI to generate Pokemon that were then cleaned up.

nta, too lazy to find and crosspost from the other thread, but the translations from the jp website specifically mention x resembling raichu more, and y resembling pikachu more. The fact that they also have each others color schemes makes it seem intentional.
The description for Y also mentioned hardened fur that resembles horns. Horns irl are made of keratin, same thing that hair is made of.
Jackalopes irl are also just taxidermy chimeras, not strictly rabbits, and come on, pikachu looks more like a rabbit than a mouse.

To clarify, everything points to it being a message against AI. They seem to be designed by actual people, with the intent to parody AI tendencies. The top villain is literally an evil generative AI who creates all her followers herself.

this is the worst shit to ever come out of this franchise. right now shits like a nightmare i cant wake up from kek. i had stopped caring. oh they made a retarded mega or some other shit? well who cares. at least it was funny to get upset about it and have a laugh but this is so far out of the realm of reality that im in just in utter disbelief?? i should clap because it actually pulls on me after a decade.

and if this is some attempt to fight against ai designs then congratulations on just normalizing them and making them stain the mascot of this franchise for all eternity. what the actual fuck is going on in their design dep. this is clearly just bad ai.

people repeat this over and over but seriously.. you look at this and tell me this isnt done on purpose to spite their consumers. i stopped consuming but now i get punished for even just looking. damn. i get punished for having raichu as my favorite and pikachu as one of my top favs. for letting pokemon into my heart lmfaoo. its like seeing a mutated rape baby of something you loved. i cant wait to see a million shartists make a billion cope drawings on shitter playing pretend that this is not the death of this franchise concentrated into pure rotten fuck juice. a stream of saturated dead eyed wholesome plastic ai bean drawings.

i always knew theyd get at least one mega and it was gonna be trash sure but at least it would have looked like its done by a human. this is the ultimate bugs in anus ritual. the FINAL BOSS OF PIKACHUS ASS WORMS. i kinda have to kneel at the genius cruelty behind this. kek forced to see this until i die. so questionable it could be sadism. someone has the biggest boner right now and the outline of its shadow is thrown onto the pokemon logo. like yes hmm eat this you fucking retarded pokemon pigs. u rike it? rike it? i kneel. i bow. i kneel again. i couldnt come up with a more divine punishment for pokemon consumers if i tried. all hail to our ai overlords.

I'll describe their looks, types, abilities, stats, and movesets like they're official. If you meant for me to generate actual images of these (like AI art), just confirm and I'll hook that up!

Raichufan here. Fell in love with the design ever since I fought Surge. I can finally rest happy knowing the words "Mega Raichu" finally exist. I don't fucking care if those designs suck, it was inevitable. I don't even play the new games so I will never use them. But that confirmation will lead to many fanarts and redesigns of Mega Raichu, this means Raichu is getting love.
And with so many redesigns and ideas, it will eventually lead to the definitive Gorochu design. This is a win.

>>58240181
Bottom part of Raichu'a eats grow and resemble a Y shape while the top grows and gains a bit of the extra ear hair. The stomach circle shrinks while the tails shape turns into a lightning bolt shape. Its like a mix between alolan Raichu, Raichu, and Pikachu. I think its pretty cool and makes Raichu look different.
>>58240264
The colos on this one are my biggest issue. That yellow on the body is to bright while the cheeks are to red. I feel like the red needed to be picked up in more spots than the eyes. I also saw someone say it should habe a horn on its head and I kinda agree with that. The arms are cute imo and its cool how the top part of the ears are emphasizing in this design as opposed to the Y design.
>>
>>58242983
Alolan Raichu was an inspired design. Though I consider post gen 7 when GF stopped caring about pokemon designs.

Honestly I don't know, it kinda shocks me (pun not intended) that X doesn't have a different type to keep up that pattern. They seem to be sticking to the X=physical and Y=special pattern so why break the other one to do absolutely nothing? No way of knowing yet I guess. Presumably aside from the different stats they'll have different abilities as well (in Champions and other later games) that make them play drastically differently. That's the only conclusion I can draw from them leaving their typing the same.

>>58243849
We already know which Megas will have new types in the base game though, so it's not like no new ones change type. Just not these, for some reason

Honestly, the more I look at them, the more I just can't see any credible vision for their designs. All they've done is swap palettes and tails. To call that design Raichu Y is simply false advertising, and even worse they simply fucked up the iconic silhouette of Pikachu for no reason.

All of this just so they can say that mascot technically has a Mega. I swear I don't see how anyone can lob praise at these designs.

I wish it was just one decent Mega Raichu instead of two mediocre ones.
If you took X and gave it Y's tail, color palette, and arm proportions, that would fix it for me.

See, this is in line with the other Megas. A simply extrapolation of the original concept. Could've been pushed more, but it works.

Wait a second Raichu only got 1 mega in his X form, his Y form is just a mega pikachu. I knew we couldn't escape the mascot rat.
>>
>>58240181
>>58240264
I get they're supposed to be shaped like an X and a Y, get it, but this is just... silly. The Y one is better, but the secondary bolt-shaped ears look stupid, chop 'em and it'd be a perfectly fine rai/pika fusion. The X version just looks retarded with those stumpy arms and long ears. Even Nintendo is aware of how unpopular Rai is compared to Pika so they had to resort to copy-pasting the latter's features onto the former's Megas, Y gets Pika's physique and X gets its color scheme.

cool fan designs are the reason we can't get cool new pokemon regional designs, like we can't get new eeveelutions because the designs that they had made resembled too closely some random fan made designs which means they had to scrap the design since they don't want to get sued. every cool new fan design you see erases a reality where that design or something close to it could exist.

You just love to see how god awful the kanto megas because they have to be quirky and marketable while the kalos megas actually get to look cool.

mega raichu X: vomit inducing pikachu color palette with vibrant red cheek pouches, looks like ass. arm nubs traditionally arn't a bad thing on old 'mon, so why do we all hate it? i think its the random brown fur patches, + it looks balloon-animal like. better option for twin tails would have been to keep the tail design the exact same as normal raichu's, but now there's two of em.

>>58243930
mega Y: i like its color palette, the blue eyes work well. the main problem is that its ''mega pikachu''
obviously, and that its ears look terrible combined with its horns. its bad shape design / silhouette.
it clashes in a messy manner, that would've been solved by pointing the horns forwards or the ears backwards whilst changing the ear shape overall.

it's not really hate its pretty much how lazy they are designed and to be honest if someone told me this was from a mobile pokemon scam game i would personally believe them

I like the ears but making it Pikachu coded is lame, I guess they just didn't know what to do. Could have just used A-Raichu's colors desu.

I find that bullshit considering the joke they are currently making out of the law and patent system with the Palworld lawsuit and basically strong-arming their way through

You really think they are worried some kid who made a fakemon in grade school will sue them?

>>58244570
Both are Pikachu in different ways, X has Pikachu's tail and color scheme while Y has Pikachu's entire fucking body with Raichu's tail and colorscheme.

The most offensive thing is how they just try to dilute Raichu's design with Pikachu elements in both Megas, there's nothing MEGA about this Raichu, it's fucking devolving.

>>58246105
>Arm nubs traditionally arn't a bad thing on old 'mon, so why do we all hate it?

You'd have a point if it was a Gargomon who kept its white coloration, didn't gain pants, and grew a second set of ears made out of its guns

>>
>>58243034
mega Y especially, its literally just a Pikachu with a couple Raichu traits
>>
>>58247447
Yeah when you look at how pikachu and raichu are proportioned the Y mega is clearly just a fucking orange pikachu with raichu's tail. At least X looks like Raichu with some ugly pikachu tails attached to it and an inferior color scheme.
>>
>>58247447
>>58247474
That's literally the point. Both Raichu Megas take Pikachu elements. Raichu X is Raichu with two Pikachu Tails and Pikachu's color scheme. Raichu Y is Pikachu with Raichu's tail, horns to emulate its ears, and Raichu's color scheme.
>>
>>58247484
>horns to emulate its ears
...anon that's ear hair.
>>
>>58247265
Aren't there like, at least three Digimon made out of guns?
>>
>>58247609
Depends on how much guns are needed for you to consider something made out of guns. Gundramon is without a doubt made entirely out of guns but it gets fuzzier from there.
>>
>>58247609
Along with Mega Manectric you now have three megas made out of lightning bolts.

>>
>>58247484
>That's literally the point
what point? it's a Raichu that mega evolves and starts looking more like it's pre-evo. what reason other than pandering is there to it?
>>
>>58240181
It's a fusion of Pikachu and Raichu, this got some of Pikas parts and the other the other ones. It's kind of like Dragonites Mega. Extremely cute. I will be picking this one I think. But I love the other ones red cheeks too.
>>
>>58240729
Mega Evolutions, Ultra Beasts, and Paradox Pokemon's design ethos is to break the other traditional ethos of not making a pokemon too cool or cute. This is the entire point of these functions it allows more design space and exploration and why they are never permanent or easy to get. And the things you said are an easy and appealing and in my opinion good way to accomplish this.
>>
>>58246105
>i think its the random brown fur patches, + it looks balloon-animal like.
Raichu has the brown patches too, so I don't think that's a problem. It's just the size with how swollen it looks, and since it still has no fingers/claws or anything the increased arm size looks extra strange.
>>
>>58248810
Wow just like Mega Ampharos, Mega Dragonite, etc. It's almost like evolution isn't a strict better thing much like how Pikachu has the light ball and is faster than Raichu and there are abilities only lower forms know and etc. Idiot
>>
>>58249964
the others do it with better designs
people laughed at mega dragonite for a moment but its a smart way of combining the dragonair features into dragonite.
this raichu shit? it looks poorly edited together like some fan fusion chimera. and its really obvious how they tried to force them into the X and Y shapes without considering how that may look awkward.
like did it really need 2 sets of ears to make a Y? where are those other "ears" even coming from? it makes no sense.

the designs look like recoloured pikachu and raichu with 1 out of place feature added lazily
