Honestly, the Kanto and Johto Megas look so lazy and terrible that I have a hard time believing it wasn't the result of an argument wherein some newfag got pissy and decided to make them look like shit on purpose and they were approved because he justified them with "le heckin meme value".

not that anon but ignoring their internet addiction insecurities, it's just disappointment, dude. Megas were sold as anime-esque pinnacles of strength forms whose designs are supposed to reflect that but then we get things like Mega Pyroar, Starmie, and Feraligatr.
Like yeah, non-mega Pyroar, Starmie, and Feraligatr still exist, aren't retconned, and are fully playable in this game as we already knew them but when they likely will never get a mega form that meets expectations it's hard not to be bummed

Damn, skarmory really doesn't deserve this.

Compare this to shiny mega steelix.

Some megas like Altaria and Houndoom should've just been 3rd tier evos. Their designs are perfect but locked to a gimmick, then you have stuff like this.

Maybe that's why some of the megas are more awkward this time around. So people feel less attached to the designs.

Was not ruined in any way. Dudunsparce is good. Ruining it would've involved some cringe dragon evolution like everyone wanted for some dumb reason. It's a tsuchinoko with a drill for a tail, not a baby dragon. Dudunsparce is Dunsparce but bigger and more huggable.
>Magmar and Rhyhorn
Agreed. Their evolutions look goofy as shit and take away every factor that made the originals interesting.
>Clefable
Unrelated?

>>58401375
Magmar was a duck/dinosaur monster. Magmortar is a fat guy dual wielding flamethrowers. It's like if Cell from Dragon Ball Z went from his base form to Imperfect form, but just gave up and became a fat uncle instead of sucking Android 18. From monster to loser in one simple step.

I used to rule Johto
Among the trio I was the popular choice
Now in ZA I was wrote off alone
A pig stinks where I called my throne

I used to roll the dice
See the fear in Meganium's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
'The Gay Flower is shit, Typhlosion is king'

One minute, I held the key
Next the doors were closed to me
And I discovered that my castle stands
On regional form that won't show up again

I hear Eckruteak's bells a-ringin'
Youtubers in choirs are singin'
First page of Google calls me a pedo beast,
Say I raped a kid in the teraleak
For some reason I can't explain
I know Gen 10 won't save my name
I will not appear anymore
But you remember when I ruled Johto?

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Was never shilled but scored 5th on polls
TPC couldn't believe what I'd become

But the shillmons wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a badger on a lonely string
Aw, why would they steal the Mega of the king?

I hear Ho-oh's bells a-ringin'
Discord groomers in choirs are singin'
First page of Google calls me a pedo beast,
They say I raped a kid in the teraleak
For some reason, I can't explain
On that leak there was never,
Never an honest word
They difamed me 'cause I ruled Johto

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

I would have preferred a bigger demon/dino Balrog type design as opposed to dude guns and looking like some american cunt

>Sceptile and Charizard Y are the only cool and competently designed megas of the bunch
I could go on but I chose the starters that got them for a bit of reflection. For Mega evolutions you always had them grouped in different groups:
>Megas who take from their previous forms (Tyranitar)
>Megas who just grow bigger (Venusaur)
>Megas who play to their lore (Khangaskan)
and finally
>Megas who go on a tangent (Lucario)
You can group all mega evolutions including the new ones among these. I get the frustration with Pyroar, I complained when Latios and Latias were made borderline indistinguishable and they did it again with Pyroar merely combining both genders, but Starmie and Feraligatr are perfectly fine. Feraligatr admittedly depends a lot on how you feel about Totodile.

I like Mega Victreebel a lot
>Bellsprout and Weepinbell are based on Bell Flowers
>Victreebel is based on a Nephentes (shaped like a jar of water capable of containing liquid)
>Mega Victreebel is based on a Gourd Calabash which despite being fruits that you can eat are often dried up tied to ropes and serve as water bottles
It's a fantastic idea honestly, that said, I would have just made it's teeth stick out a little even with it's mouth closed

NTA but "bigger" does not mean it's better. If you gave me Rockruff but /bigger,/ I would be rather annoyed because I wanted something different. (Lycanroc Midday unfortunately pushes it as is.)

>>58405731
Honestly that's a different case, I don't think Dudunsparce is better, I think I like it exactly as much as Dunsparce, because he was already at my top 2, there was no really improving that for me personally.

>>58407174
Old Megas were designed in good faith to look like powered up forms of the basic designs, with almost none of them being deliberate jokes. Many of them missed the mark badly, but there were plenty of hits too, and you can't say they didn't at least try. Modern Megas on the other hand are almost all blatantly designed to look fucking stupid on purpose and you can count the ones that aren't on one hand.

>>58407375
Correct, but do you really think they designed it to look like shit on purpose? The intent was very clearly to make it cooler and more primordial looking, they just fucked it up. It's completely different to something like Mega Victreebel, for example, where there was clearly no intent to ever make it good in the first place and it came out looking like utter shit because that was exactly what they wanted.

As someone who’s first game was Silver, who beat the game with only an overleveled Feralgatr, it has always been my favorite Pokémon, and ever since megas were introduced I knew in my soul that one day this would happen. GameFreak lost their way a long time ago, there is not a shred of dignity or creativity left, and it is sad to see. At least they can’t take HGSS away from us.

>>
>>58404327
What offends me the most about mega starmie is that it's a fucking physical attacker, so any new moves it gets will be to support that role, which means it does nothing to help it's base form. The only silver lining is that this abomination will stay rotting in ZA. don't give a fuck about champions

As someone who thought the idea of Dunsparce evolving into a "badass" mon after all this time was retarded, Dudunsparce works for me. It's goofy, like the original, although I really think a regional variant is the best fit for Dunsparce. Not every single stage mon needs to be given an evo.

Starmie is funny but boring in design, maybe if it was like a running shooting star it could have been more interesting

Skarmory is okay, the base design doesnt change too much exept for the main colors, the giant legs like blades look weird when is standing but when attacks while fliying look kinda cool

So I will say the worst is sadly feraligatr, it have a interesting idea with the giant jaw, but awful execution, his base desing doesnt change too much and the new details look dumb specially in gameplay

It’s… okay? Like the biggest sin there is not buffing the speed, but it might be really good if they actually give it a good fucking ability. The design is a lost cause though, all of the extremes without any of the payoff.

Mega Aerodactyl actually makes sense as a mega and represents the bare minimum of mega evo design that doesn't dramatically alter the mon's appearance but still conveys the idea of an overflow of power adequately, here in the form of its rocky bones overgrowing, and looking even more savagely primitive.

Mudkip, Bulbasaur, and Chikorita didn't get the same treatment. Mudkip less so than the others, Swampert is closer to its base form in terms of popularity relative to the others.

If you're telling people what they do and don't think, you've let your autism run right off the deep end. So, no, I do like the OG design. I like its mythological inspirations, I like its appearance. I simply disagree that the "it gets bigger" design of Dudunsparce is an insult, and think it's preferable to some radical change in its design via a more significant evolution. Fag.
