What you think of as pokemon and what most pokefans think of as pokemon are fundamentally different concepts. I'm not even passing judgement I just wish we were not lumped together through the same semantics because we're talking about very different things. Such is the nature of long running franchises I guess but it's still unfortunate.
But what I think of pokémon IS what "pokéfans" think of it, because I escaped the critical, fundamental keystone of what you lot consider "Pokémon", due to never meeting it as an autistic, impressionable 7 year old, to fundamentally misinterpret the thing as you all do so readily.
>>58291910Shit just noticed I mistakenly said "you" instead of "I" in the OP so it makes no sense. Unless the mods wanna edit my post I blew my own thread. Oh well
>>58291828What do you think of as Pokemon?Only the original 151? 251?Watercolor painting style?No waifumons?Zero shits given about competitive balancing?Shitty stats and movepools based on flavor rather than in-game viability?
>>58292001>Only the original 151? 251?Only any mon that showed up in the anime, so the original 151 + Ho-oh and Togepi>Watercolor painting style?Any old school Toriyama-inspired style that captures the sense of exploration and wonder of the original.>No waifumons?Yes. This was meant to be a badass shonen with giant kaiju, not waifus, furries or babymons. >Zero shits given about competitive balancing?Competitive was better because it didn't have IVs, EV limits or the physical/special split.>Shitty stats and movepools based on flavor rather than in-game viability?Pokemon should only be able to do moves they'd viably be able to with their body type. Quadrupeds should never have punching moves for example. Even gen 1 made mistakes like this, like giving Kangaskhan Surf or Doduo Fly.
>>58292049I think Kangaskhan having surf is a reference to kaijus causing tsunamis and natural disasters in general. Doduo learning fly is retarded though, i mean even fucking Charizard didn't have access to it until Yellow
>>58292049I'm OP and you're not me. Fuck the anime>>58292001>Only the original 151? 251?151>Watercolor painting style?Not necessarily though I do appreciate it. The beta concept art and the red and green spritework are not watercolor and I like it even more.>No waifumons?Female-coded mons(Jynx, Nidoqueen, Chansey, Kangaskhan) are fine on principle, sexually suggestive fursuits aren't >Zero shits given about competitive balancing?Wouldn't say zero shits but it's a very secondary matter>Shitty stats and movepools based on flavor rather than in-game viability?There is a lot that could be "fixed" about gen 1 movepools but yeah all the tremendous neverending bloat that was added certainly wasn't the way to go about it
>>58292109Are these female-coded mons or sexually suggestive fursuits?
>>58291952Holy fuck this is embarrassing OP, just bumping this thread to show everyone how retarded this thread this because of your terrible fuck up.
>>58292149Those are humanoid, female-coded designs. Mons like Tsareena and Lopunny, on the other hand, are obviously suggestive.
>>58291828Ok
