I hate this. This isn't evolution at all. It does a volleyball pass and flaps down the upper helmet just to emulate biting that itself can already do. The red exoskeleton trapjaw helmet was a better idea
>>58424833I saw this fanmade design in another thread which executes the idea better imo
How they gonna make a toy of this thing if the arms are normally too small?
>>58424833Why does it get stretch armstrong arms
>>58424915HE
>>58424868it really is incredible that literally just a single pass of a concept outside of gamefreak's echochamber produces material far more palatable. I can't imagine this particular design would be a raucous success and be the new fan favorite mega, but it is clearly more well-thought-out and appealing than >le totodile... but again
>>58424925HAS
>>58424833Gamefreak needs to die
>>58424944It’s not even a good Totodile imitation. It looks bloated.
>>58425050anyone know that one meme of a guy making a fake tinder account of some gigachad and in the bio he says "yeah I was arrested for raping a child but I don't care anymore I moved on" and girls still hit on him? and then compare that with the guys that make 300k and have 3 diplomas but are getting rejected by women. That's what I think of when I see these two.
>>58424833But you see it is a hecking reference to Kame Rider! Don't you enjoy the epic themes anon, isn't it so clever when GF straight lifts entire concepts from third party IPs? It's even silly look at Mr.Fantastic arms! It's growing on me!
>>58424950You had the chance to killed Game Freak during the FreakLeak but you didn’t.
>>58424833Feraligatr walked so Meganium could run
>>58424949NO
>>58424833Why is a Feraligatr evolution imitating Totodile?Why does it need to grow a faux Jaw when it can just upgrade its current one?It's all so tiring.
>>58425140Oi, no friendly fire. Gatrbros are friends
>>58424833>>58424944>>58424950>>58425033>>58425305It'll grow on you, it's based on a reference
>>58425320like a tumor I presume.
>>58425320Every Pokemon is based on something, dipshit
>>58425305The new megas are built off the philosophy of "the Pokémon but MORE", instead of "what's the next step for this pokemon". I feel like they were on the right track of "how do we make it bite better", but instead of giving it a natural adaptation, they gave it a gimmicky flesh hood jaw thing, then made its arms the lower jaws, which realistically would have a fraction of the power. I would have given it more robust arms so that it hold onto things it bites better, and a stronger tail so that it can swim faster
>>58425115Kill yourself already Typhlosionschizo, no one cares about the fucking leaks anymore.
>>58425365>new megas are built off the philosophy of "the Pokémon but MORE",not really man, some of them sure but most are just a random x factor tossed in. Starmie becomes a tokusatsu reference. Feraligatr becomes a kamen rider reference. Skarmory has its talons accentuated specifically for some reason. Dragonite gets random fluff forehead wings. Clefable gets wings too, for some reason. Scolipede has its armor move to its neck for no discernable reason. I can see it with some, like meganium or excadrill or eelektross, but others just don't fit.
>>58425365Yeah, a fuckhuge crocodile jaw just gives off more power than those dumb and duller looking plastic protrusions. Nevermind that ageplay baby form regression into Totodile which is clearly meant to be a joke. The feeble lanky kong arms could have been instead stronger built and used to support a change in build too. It looks like the designers were afraid of actually changing Feraligatr in a meaningful way since it looks the same otherwise. I feel like this idea could have been used on a whole different Pokémon that has weak jaws so it makes an imitation one to hunt prey, really wasted on Feraligatr.
>>58425413>has its talons accentuated specifically for some reasonIt's a stretch, but another theory I have is that they're trying to incorporate elements of previous evolutions as well. Skarms a single stage, so perhaps it's based off thar fuckass bird with the absurdly large feet as a chick? Idk. I think the gold is awesome though.
>>58424868Every fan design is better. Hell the the fake cringe Centro leak reposted everywhere was better than the actual leak. This is pure garbage, its like something a kid would do when playing with his toys. >stick the broken toy on top of the other toy and call it a power up
>>58425419>Skarmory makes its nests out of sharp objects and metals so the chicks have those wader feet to properly navigate it.That prevo idea could be really cool.
>>58425419>>58425434if we get a skarmory prevo with huge feet in gen 10 I swear to God...
>>58425365OLD megas were on the philosophy of pokemon but more, nu megas have gay concept shit holding them back like toiletgatr or mega pikachus
>>58424833What the fuck is this lazy and creatively bankrupt design, what the fuck is this, gimmicks gimmicks and more gimmicks, why does he have that oversized toilet seat hanging above his head at all times like that, what the fuck is this insulting ass design
>>58425711Don't try and pretend it isn't growing on you.
>>58425728Are you lobotomized? This is the most retarded shit I've ever seen, I hope this franchise fucking dies and they lose their IP to China like what happened to Assassin's Creed, not likely but I still wish it would happen
>>58425745It'll grow on you. It's got a strong theme.
>>58425084Women
Can we make a petition to redo a Mega?This shit is so fucking bad
>>58425760No it actually won't, the retarded gigantamax shit didn't, I doubt this will, besides I already lost interest in this franchise, I only came here to see what people say about Masuda not being the big bad of the company but was actually the dude that made the good games in fact, you guys are the result of corpos inducing stockholm syndrome into their fans, creating a cult in the process, Dexit was the catalyst that made the transformation complete, I have better games to play
>>58425790lmao we all know you'll buy it anyway
>>58425777I want to say the same thing, franchises change monster designs all the time, but pokemon never did that, this is just a Feraligatr with a big red toilet seat in his back
>>58425794>You'll buy it anywaySorry, too busy doing maps in PoE 2 to waste my money on a non-game like this, keep coping about how everyone is "buying it anyway" like the wokies did with every low effort slop game that came out in the last 5 years, only to find that no, people didn't "buy it anyway" enjoy your declining franchise
>>58424833>This isn't evolution at all.Correct, it's mega evolution. Retard.>>58425711>lazy and creatively bankrupt designWhat are you talking about?? If anything, it's bad because it's too gimmicky and "creative". They tried way too hard.
>>58425828It's literally just a Feraligatr with some shit seat on him, literally no creativity involved
>>58425794I haven’t purchased any games since USUM and I’m not going to. I wouldn’t even pirate this shit.
Old megas were so good right? Not "Pokemon but more" not meme concepts...
>>58425790"It'll grow on you" has become a meme. He's taking the piss.
>>58425833No it's not, it's nothing like Mega Sharpedo where it's "literally just add some shit on top". It's a whole separate head that forms the upper jaw, and changes it's fucking arms to form the lower jaw, so that the whole thing looks like Tododile's head. It's a fucking insane concept.
>>58425869Still better than literally the same design but with a toilet seat hanging in his back
>>58425885This is a massive fucking cope, mega sharpedo actually looks like an evolution, shills are not humans I swear to god
>>58425894I'm not a shill, are you fucking illiterate? I'm saying it looks fucking stupid. Mega Feraligatr is a shit design. I'm just pointing out that it's absolutely retarded to call it "lazy" and "uncreative" because the reason it looks like shit is cause they tried way too hard to make the insane gimmick work. It's TOO creative.
>>58425885An insane concept another franchise came up with, forced onto creature whose line never had such a theme, thats why its ill fitting.The idea of a Pokémon creating fake jaws to compensate could work for an entirely new species line, but it being forced onto feraligatr who is what makes it shit.
>>58425915Yeah, I agree. That's what I was trying to say. It's a super forced idea and the result looks bad.
>>58425913Bro, how is it not lazy when they did the equivalent of a kid gluing a toy to another toy and saying that it got stronger now, it's not creative at all, look at the literal first post before OP, THAT is a creative way to go about this concept, what GF did is a lazy way to convey the concept, lacking any and all creative power, not to mention his idle animation forces him to keep the stupid toilet seat up, which looks stupid, don't bail them out when fans can literally do this concept better than them
>>58425913Ripping off Kamen Rider is not creative
>>58425890How about "the Pokemon itself IS INSIDE the toilet"?
>>58425929>HAT is a creative way to go about this concept,>literally the same fucking thing but the arms are fully red and the skull has feraligatr's cresteh
>>58425929That fanart is basically the same concept, but better looking. So it's the same amount of creativity cause it's the same concept, but better executed.It's not even lazy because I can tell they put a lot of effort into the animations, it simply looks bad. Again, I think calling it uncreative and/or lazy is a totally retarded point of criticism cause it's really not the reason why it's bad. If anything it's its sole redeeming quality (which still doesn't make it good altogether)>>58426065What exactly is it ripping off? I'm curious.
>>58426218>Literally the same fucking thing but it actually looks goodkek
>>58426255Kamen Rider Revice. Yes, they did literally take it 1:1 shamelessly and didn't even bother making it look good.
We could have gotten ungabunga............instead we get this utter fucking abomination......How is it literally EVERY SINGLE FUCKING FANMADE DESIGN LOOKS BETTER THAN THE OFFICIAL DESIGN?!I genuinely could not believe it when I first saw it and Mega Starmie, I thought someone was taking a piss and making lazy 3D models to shipost.
>>58426366That's wild. Then it's not even creative, impressive.
>>58426425>Mega StarmieI had to check, wtf is this
>>58424833megaevos were a mistake since day one. horrid designs and contrived mechanic
>>58426456no you don't understand it's a reference to tokusatsu, it's supposed to look like a guy wearing a starmie suit. It's really grown on me, especially once I saw it in motion!
>>58426472Can't tell if you're shitposting or being serious right now
>>58426456It's incredible that for once even quite a few jewtube shills and redditors hate it.They could have literally done anything else with the design, Starmie is a great and effective design that could have gone in a dozen different directions and still worked, a shooting star design, an eldritch brittle star, literally anything and instead they just made it's legs slightly longer and rigged it's model so it awkwardly walks around, I hate Gamefreak, I cannot express how much I hate Gamefreak.>>58426461Mega evolution is a fantastic concept and has some great designs even now in ZA despite the utter dogshit quality. It's amazing how even the worst Megas from the old batch in Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Manectric actually look alright compared to the horseshit we have now.I can't even bear to look at Mega Starmie, Mega Feraligatr or Mega Skarmory without becoming violently angry at how utterly dogshit these designs are.
>>58426500>Mega SkarmoryThis is a joke right, this is a massive shitposting campaign where people flood Google images with fake pictures, right? This can't be fucking real
>>58426520I'm so sorry anon.......
>>58426631Are they maliciously complying to people requesting megas to come back, what the fuck, this has to be intentional
>>58426663Yes and it's based. Never ask for Megas again. Worst gimmick and always has been.
>>58426456I like how the potential of its space theme is completely wasted to tack on another gay reference #thankyougamefreak it's growing on me.
>>58424833still better than mega swampert
>>58425885Insane is an appropriate word to use. Whoever came up with this shit belongs in an asylum.
>>58426768Fuck no, Donkey Kong Swampert looks pretty cool, this abomination doesn't even function.
>>58426729But anon it’s so clever it’s an alien trying to mimick humans!
>>58426663Everything today that is loved by anyone must be warped and destroyed as part of the mass demoralization psyop going on globally.FalloutStar WarsDungeons and DragonsPokémonTrumpAll these things gave people Hope and then were twisted and made shitty as a way to make people feel like shit about life, and the list goes on.Hopefully Pokémon fans will actually speak up and make it so they at least have to pretend they’re addressing the problems with their franchise, but they won’t. It’s actually baffling, for example, if for the next game they gave any fan with google the ability look up fakemons and steal the best ones and compile them into a Dex and it would be a major improvement to the series. Like some 25 year old stoner zoomer who can’t even design or draw could do better with a computer and the internet.
>>58426704Kindly kill yourself
>>58425794I'm waiting for easier to obtain rooms fuck Nintendo lol
>>58426867Jokes on them tho, cause escapism is what made people so passive and tolerant of BS, take that away and you have a bunch of angry people with nothing to lose anymore, and those are the most dangerous kind
>>58426867>TrumpDude come on, he sold his daughter to a kike, was in deep with Epstein and sucks jewish dick all day long, you can't be serious. But besides that you're pretty much spot on, I actually hope escapism dies for a while so we can get enough retards to take the ignorance goggles off to see how truly fucked the world is outside.
>>58426903And that’s why they’re testing drones and want to make everything have an ID associated with it, they want to make people poor and angry, then hope they’ll become criminals, then they can have a real crackdown.
>>58424950It's Creatures Inc. and TPC's fault>>58426768Cortex, you have never been more wrong.
>>58426366Wow, I LOVE MEGA FERALIGATR NOW! It really grew up on me!
>>58427027I don't see it happening, they'll get complacent and die of old age anyway, wet dreams for the rich, when they make up a small percentage of the population too, a cornered rat will kill a cat
>>58424944>just a single pass of a concept outside of gamefreak's echochamberdidn't the leaks reveal nintedno are desperate to get a second company in under GF to help with the games and they outright refuse?someone reigning in their retardation is exactly what they need and they deny it
>>58425298STYLE
>>58426520the worst part is all its animation are identical to base skarmorythe mega is literally some intern dragging the verts on his toes longer and calling it a day
I fucking hate mega evolutions. They suck and have always sucked.
>>58427215HE
>>58424833Its overdesigned but I’m fine with it, it doesn’t look that bad.
>>58424833What's wrong with it exactly it's growing on me
>>58427234Bro it has a toilet lid
>>58427234Please shut up, please shut up, look in the mirror, take a walk outside, do some exercises and contemplate at how you can be this much of an irony poisoned moron, not even a good chunk of reddit is defending this trash.
>>58426520what is wrong with it?
>>58427224HAS
>>58427757NO
>>58427831GRACE
>>58424833>It's so shit it tries to go back to its first stage
>>58427234So it grew on you?
>>58425305>Why is a Feraligatr evolution imitating Totodile?Because Totodile is by far the most popular member of its evolutionary line.
>>58428089Then fuck everything and just give totodile the form. Ignore feraligatr if you're going to waste its evo.
>>58425377Anon idiots still bring it up everyday and not even just shithole but in “normie” spaces like Twatter to, Shit, even in this thread >>58425050 was posted before the “freakleak” was mentioned
>>58426500>Mega evolution is a fantastic conceptno
>>58425869I fucking love this one but I don’t like Feraligatr at all
>>58424833>2025>expecting anything from gamefreak
>>58426425that just made me think what if when abilities get revealed mega gatr gets fucking parental bond
>>58424833its a reference to something so its good though. real fans like goofy funneh xD pokemon so you're wrong
>>58427947kek
>>58424833I like Totodile, but if I wanted to use it, then I'd use ol' Totodile not mega head totodile
>>58427916HE
>>58425413>Clefable gets wings tooClefable always had wings, my guy
>>58425447"see guys, it was forshadowing all along! now give us $70"
>>58427947Pffffffft
>>58426366>Kamen Rider Revice. Yes, they did literally take it 1:1 shamelessly and didn't even bother making it look goodbreh
>>58426500>>58426456My biggest issue currently with mega starmie is it ironically needed the extra bits and pieces people complained about old megas, it literally is just stretched out starmieI don't even mind the le ebin tokusatsu reference since starmie was always taht way, but it wasn't even don't creatively, just stretched out and nothing more
>>58429657HAS
Reminder that it's the jaw that does the biting not the top of the mouth. It's design should be reversed.
>>58426456this is patrick
>>58426456I knew it would look like this I just wish its legs were colored differently.
>>58425320Being a reference doesn't make it good. Skibidi Toilet has no place in Pokemon or anywhere.
>>58430819Gatr jaws snap shut from above
>>58427220Several of the designs feel like they literally ran out of dev time and made something in the course of like two hours that was not only a lazy-ass design, but specifically ridiculously easy to model. Starmie: just stretch the legs. Pyroar: just make a shitty kanji with the pre-existing mane model rearranged and stretched. Skarmory: just stretch the talons. Scrafty is pretty much identical except for a hood.
>>58426366is there a guy behind rimming him in that pic?
i love the ridiculous design of mega feraligatr because now every bara scaliefaggot is coping hard by making fanarts desperate to improve it
>>58425869I bet this is what they were trying to do with Pyroar but they forced the kanji as priority sacrificing how feasible it looks
>>58425833>>58425828>>58425711>Toiletgatr
>>58424833>Grown-up uses a magic stone to transform back into its more popular child forme.What did Game Freaks mean by this?
>>58425711these fuckers didn't even try with this shit
>>58431978What's supposed to be the concept behind mega evolutions?in XY they seems to incline on the idea of genetic mutations (think of it like The Thing) given that the symbol is represented with a simplistic design of the ADN.Then they shifted to making them look cool and now i don't get it, it's a mixed bag of giving them a cool aspect but some have weird themes of regression like dragonite and feraligatr including victreebel if that's not a reach. Raichu is also the worst offender next to feraligatr by not having an organic design, just glued some limbs and called it a day
>>58432045There isn’t a unifying one
>>58432045>>58432072Whatever makes Sugimori and his team laugh, that design gets approved and turned into an official Pokémon
>>58425869I actually like this better than the OG look and I wish this was its OG design OR an evo of Manectric.
>>58426456If they were going to give it long legs, they should have doubled down on referencing the Star Men from Earthbound, especially Final Starman.
>>58431765If only you knew how bad things really are
>>58432230Kino
>>58426366they literally downgraded the design, you can clearly see that the guy's head pops up to form the eyes of the new head, but they couldn't even do something like that with fecalfagaytr's crests or something.
>>58432230It's really growing on me!
>>58432384Told you it would
>>58426366>Stupid ugly thing:/>Stupid ugly thing (reference to other stupid ugly thing):O
>>58432045what's funny is that even gamefreak avoided the implication of genetic mutations because now they cleverly used those marble toys as the symbol of mega evolutions, i admit it was smart of them but i can't help but to think this was pressured by the TPC for making the brand more kid-friendly. it's like every time gamefreak dares to step into T-rated territory, they get pushed back hard
>>58432618Kid, the same leaks everyone's been wetting themselves in glee over revealed Game Freak stand at the head of the table, free fro "pressures" of their subordinates. They do what the fyuck they like, as everyone with an itoa of a clue of how the franchise has always worked has tried to tell the great unwashed of /vp/. They do all of this, because they want to and NOT because TPC's deliberately trying to piss you off (you're unironically not important enough for them to fucking think of you).
>>58425869Mega Manectric got a bad impression cause it looks terrible in 3D. Looksk awesome in 2D where they can always push the lightning bolt silhouette.
>>58432486>concept:/>concept:\
>>58432699>Looksk awesome in 2DIt really doesn't. The shape doesn't even resemble a lightning bolt when viewed in silhouette, it ll just merges into a weird jagged lump with legs. They should've had the bolt separated from the body.
>>58425869Megas are all over the place. Just a bunch of random designs and whether or not one looks good is a fucking dice roll.
