>we were that close to kino
>>58339972kek
you can't still be bitter over a literal rough draft sprite five years later
>>58339966WE
>>58339966GF will never ever make kino, cope
>>58339972Lmao
>>58339985It was cinema. Simple, but mysterious. Arceus is for dumb spikey-haired kids with their room covered in ripped up pokemon cards and dorito crumbs. Beta Arceus is for thinking men who regularly 20 paragraph essays dissecting the works of Tarkovsky
>>58340027No sperg, Arceus was ALWAYS the endgoal. They inserted a blob, to test the event for the beta, inserting Arceus' intended stats, moves etc then planned to replace it with its actual, definitive design, knowing full well Arceus the pokémon was NOT Arceus the God, but an aspect of its consciousness within the physical realm (thus it made sense for it to take a definitive form). Arceus is still actually mysterious, its True form is something lowly humans cannot comprehend, so It appears as a glowing ball of sentient light. But you're an autistic retard fixated on betashit like all the rest the betatards, ignoring they're ALL step to the endgoal that was a game release.
Nah Arceus the God really is the llama and damn if it ain't the most fuckable llama
>>58340162PLA isn't Canon. It was a full priced beta test spinoff that directly contradicts countless parts of the lore that GF knew no one with a triple IQ would take seriously.
>>58340187shut up troon
>>58340187What lore was contradicted? Seems pretty consistent with DP and existing lore. Do you think Pokémon don’t shrink?
>>58340027keyed
>>58339972But beta arceus wasn't in the game tho
The problem I have with this blob hypothesis is two fold.A)Giratina looks radically different, and it's not just "oh MS paint blob," it has an actual, thought out and definable conceptB)If you just needed to test something, why bother making art for it? Pokemon is no stranger to throwing in old sprites on new Pokemon for tests before the art is finalized.
>>58340162>>58341471What is a "blob" in the context of PLA?
>>58341474How does PLA factor into a game that was developed 15 years before it? It doesn't obviously, and there's no connection. Before the concept of PLA's version of depicting an indescribable form, this was an idea the developers had and tested.
>>58339966the moment where your final design is so lame that people prefer the literal placeholder crudely drawn sprite over you...
>>58341485The final design is not really BAD, it's just that it doesn't convey the full scale of Arceus' godhood. It'd make sense if, in this case, Arceus was one of the many metaphorical hands of Beta Arceus.
>>58339972Perfectly accurate. I've also seen someone say we were robbed of beta Igglybuff over the final Igglybuff when they literally look the EXACT same but beta Igglybuff doesn't have the hair tuft on top of its head. Give the beta Igglybuff a hair tuft or cut off the final Igglybuff's hair tuft and they'll look exactly the same.
>>58341496Who the fuck posted that they wanted it? Sure as shit wasn't >>58326055.
>>58341504Oh my bad my bad my bad. I wasn't referring to something that was posted recently or even on 4chan in general. It's something I've seen someone say somewhere. Don't remember if it was on 4chan, Reddit, Twitter, the YouTube comments, or somewhere else. And I don't remember how long it's been since I saw it but probably over a year at least. So a decent while ago.
>>58341481looks like landorus
>>58339966NOOOO WE COULD HAVE HAD A COFFEE SPILL INSTEAD WHY GAMEFREAK WHY???
>>58339972fpbp, vtter trvke
>>58339966And I though Toby Fox only did the music for Pokemon games
>>58341485bold of you to assume the preference comes from a design's objective quality and not from the simple fact that it isn't what we got
>>58340027Don't waste your time trying to explain this on /vp/
>>58339972fpbp
>>58342269Swap the pale brown color with a cosmic wp background and something will happen.
>>58341495I'll pass. It's pretty ugly
>>58344577it looks mysterious tho
>>58344147I followed my own advice and made a really poor edit on the purpose of giving the... um... how do I put this? *aura* vibe? Idk.
>>58344585Not really. It's just ghost rider Arceus
>>58339972Based im afraid
>>58342269kek
>>58339966>Lazy unfinished dogshit is kino/vp/ everyone, no wonder you insufferable cocksuckers jerk off RBYG so much, you think that something worse than a bethesda title is "kino" or "soul" or whatever other meaningless buzzword you throw around these days.
>>58339966Since when was Arceus not awesome?Screw you guys
>>58339966I like the arceus we got but I do also get the appeal of the mspaint scribbleIn my headcanon, the arceus we have is what the arms look like and the mspaint scribble is the "true" arceus
>>58345940We aren't talking about the sprite itself, we're talking the concept that the sprite attempts to represent.
>>58346081the concept of being a retarded looking hollow knight enemy?
>>58346081There's no way you retards think this looks cool or mysterious
>>58346093>hollow knight enemyWell, it would've predated the concept of Hollow Knight, but sure.>>58346117This wasn't the best art but the art I actually wanted to use was a Twitter screenshot that was JPEGged to hell so I grabbed the closest thing I could find to it.
>>58346277>implying the jpeg artifacts are even somewhat close to the reason why it looks retarded
>>58346290Sir, please work on your reading comprehension.
>>58346081>we're talking the concept that the sprite attempts to represent.An unfinished prototype that was never meant to be the final design at all that (you) retards are overhyping just to be subhuman hipster faggots? Cause' that's what's happening.
>>58346560>wow, look, this concept of an ethereal, practically featureless blob is kind of cool>you're nigger faggots for liking such a concept >>>:(((((
