this is like looking at pictures of pugs 100 years ago vs now, fucking inbred Incestchu looking ass. >you want to explore a world full of majestic and mysterious creatures with supernatural powers ? >NOPE ! EVERYTHING MUST BE ROUND AND CUTE AND QUIRKY AND SILLY AND GOOFY AND MEMEABLE ! EVERY species in this world HAS to look like your best friend and be friendly and disney-approved ! >oh you want a badass legendary dragon ? how about we give it a HUGE FUCKING WHEEL to make it look like a motorbike ? surely that won't completely take you out of the fantasy by looking way too meta and modern right ?>You love Pikachu, the electric mouse Pokémon, surely you won't mind if we gave it fetal alcohol syndrome and gave it dysfunctional somastatin receptors on its eyes so it looks like it has two necrotic tumors staring into your soul instead of normal animal eyes, right ?good pokémon and character design has died in gen 8, for all its flaws it still had goated new designs and forms, prepare for The Great Slopification not only of new Pokémon but of the ones you already know and love too
>>58409442>pokémon and character design has died in gen 8you're slow...
>>58409442Pokemon aren't animals though. Animals don't exist in Pokemon.

>>58409442funny i've been watching that anime since last week.
>>58411760Nope. Early installment weirdness. No longer canon, ergo never existed.
>>58411768And the Indian elephants that only disappeared after Gen 7?
>>58411785Also early-installment weirdness. Anything pre-Switch is possibly EIW, and anything pre- Gen VI is DEFINITELY EIW. If it's old and contradicts modern Pokecanon, it's early-installment weirdness.

>>58411799That's not how early-installment weirdness works anon. That's NEVER been how that works.
>>58411818Yes it does. It's pre-modern and weird compared to how things are now, thus it's early installment weirdness.
Whatever.Pokemon take the role of animals in the Pokemon universe, so it is weird that they don't resemble creatures that could functionally do this.
>>58411825What animals can functionally breathe fire and use mind bullets, anon?
>>58411748How do you explain "Mouse Pokemon" then?
>>58411841Early-installment weirdness they haven't fixed yet, probably due to the mistaken belief that it's too late. Though it can be handwaved away by saying it's an English/Japanese translation of a Pokelanguage word.
>>58411831Yes, the Pokemon world is slightly more fantastical than ours, because of a different set of physics. Still, bombardier beetles spit boiling acid at opponents, and centipedes can use aerosolized cyanide as defensive measures. It's not like our world is completely devoid of crazy shit. Despite this, even our craziest animals still look like animals.
>>58411876Yes, because our craziest animals are not Pokemon. Dumbass.Animals =/= Pokemon.
>>58411768>>58411799>it’s good they removed all irl from pokemon Cancer zoomer poster die This is why pokemon sucks now because nothing can be cool or creative pokemon has to instead be just replacements for animals, which means they’re always mundane now instead of being their own quasi-legendary thing.Pokemon = animal niggers ruined the franchise and are why it’s so disneyfied now because trying to approach serious themes in pokemon is near impossiblethe stuff in red/green/blue about team rocket killing cubones mother and shit would be impossible now due to this, because itd be seen as making a game about animal abusehell pokemon in general would be impossible if they started with the pokemon = animals angle, as it would just be cockfighting
youre supposed to used an upper cased g
