Goofy is good
>OK I laughed. Now can we get a real mega?>No? We just gotta deal with this forever?
>>58436443This edit took more effort to make than Mega Starmie.
>>58436443i think this image is funny and I do not think mega starmie is remotely funny
>>58436443I'MA GOOFY GOOBER
>>58436443Nice edit.
>>58436500Fucking this. I weep for any genuine Starmie fans who will literally never get anything ever again.
>>58436443No
Ok, lets be honest, Pink Starmie would be a fantastic shiny actually
>>58436626Finally, good fanart
>>58436620>One shot. One opportunity.And it missed
>>58436443Enough with the Patrick shit, how come the Japanese understand perfectly what makes Mega Starmie funny while the West plagues itself with unfunny garbage like Spongebob? Fuck you OP.
>>58437460Patrick is based tho
>>58437460Because it’s a Japanese reference you retard
>>58436620starmie is my favorite mon ever (along with Venusaur) and I like its mega (unlike with Venusaur)
>>58437460>unfunny>spongebob
>>58437465And? I've seen plenty references that didn't culminate into Redditbob, the western fanbase is a blight.
>>58437486nobody cares what a retard who doesn't like spongebob has to say
>>58437518SpongeBob isn't funny.
>>58437522The first 2 or 3 seasons are hilarious
>>58437522>>58437518
>>58436443Most of the megas are hideous but I can't hate this thing, it's genuinely hilarious.
bro got mad because of a nerdy sponge cartoon
It could be worse. It least it doesn't look like a toilet.
>>58436500>foreverShe'll be cuttted next year though ?
>>58437460>Japanese fans reference Japanese stuff>Western fans reference Western stuffIT JUST DON'T ADD UP!!!
My condolences starmiebros, you didn't deserve this. At least it didn't get fat.
>>58438847Megas are forever, Champions exists
>see it's a good design because i can post twitter memes about it, it's growing on mecant wait for a month from now when people totally forget about this design.
>>58436443...for me to poop on!
>>58436443I remember thinking Eiscue and Calyrex were the worst designs I had ever seen from this franchise when they first leaked, I mean absolutely DIRE designs. But even those two look like quaint compared to Mega Starmie, Mega Skarmory and Mega Feraligatr. I find it incredible that no matter how many times I believe Lamefreak has finally hit rock-bottom, they go even further beyond. Can't wait to see how dreadful the randomly-generated Gen X mon will be.
>>58437486>calls SpongeBob Reddit>posts RedditBound
This is a quirk chungus franchise now
>>58439113I still think both Eiscue, Calyrex, and other shit like Palafin are worse designs, but the goofy Megas just feel spiteful because they're just attached to old designs that people liked and twist them into cruel jokes for a quick laugh. Absolutely no attempt to sincerely enhance the designs or retain their feel at all, just fuck their shit up.
>>58439194so wholesome
>>58439194Always has been
>>58436620>Starmie fansthey exist?
>>58440831Nah, this shit didn't start until late Gen 6 and then in earnest in Gen 7
>>58437460A reference by itself isn't a joke.
>>58440844Misty have fans and she have one, also Starmie used to be good so...
>there are people who will genuinely defend this to their dying breath because it's "funny" and "it's a reference to some movie nobody watched in 1950's= good" despite having zero design cues from said movie
>>58441174Yes
>>58440844all gen 1 pokemon are gonna have fans by default because of nostalgia. even retarded ones like seel
I'm so fucking scared for what they're going to do to Darkrai. He's been my bro since I nearly fucked up my pearl save through the void glitch when I was 11
>>58441839dont worry it looks great
>>58441853if the mega references it's stilt legs in the anime i'd be fine with it. However it's an extremely fine line that if crossed, will make it look less creepy and more retarded + embarrassing. Like they're gonna give him extra bendy knees or something stupid.If you told me 10 years ago that Darkrai would be getting a mega, I'd be excited. Now it's concerning.
>>58440844>coolest Pokémon ever>"Wow there are really people who like [coolest Pokémon ever]??"
>>58438921The running animation is fucking hilarious. Still a shame it doesn't have an actually cool mega but oh well, it could have had the Feraligatr treatment
>>58437460>weeb can't understand good mediaMany such cases!
>>58439113can we stop pretending skarmory is bad
>>58436443>redditbobthis mega is shit there is no redemption
>>58441815Seel is easy on the eyes unlike all of unova
>>58443602Cringe
>>58443602>unova out of nowhereutterly obsessed
>>58436443I'll admit it's a lazy design but it's growing on me
>>58444043are your legs growing too
>>58436443>Goofy is goodBut cool and elegant are better
>>58436443All these retarded models and animations are still mogged by a game that came out over 2 decades ago.
>>58444241>old good, new badCringe
>>58437460Because Westerners are too scared to be a little bit cringe due to that whole Reddit mentality and not wanting to be called a redditor. You have to realize that Westerners are miserable doomers, and you shouldn’t follow their sociopathic mindset. Be happy. Live your life how you want to, and don’t let an Amerimutt tell you otherwise.
>>58444281>old bad, new goodCringe
>>58438921I still dont like it, too many retards defending it ironically unironically by saying "ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD" or "ITS SUPPSOED TO BE GOOFY" This board and everyone on it should be gunned down in a bulletstorm for such mindset
>>58444307>being happy is liking lazy dogshit "it gets longer" designs which are totally good because they're a hecking pop culture referencelol
>>58444281>>58444316>Old good, new goodStop being miserable fags over a game fir 10 year olds.....
this quirky chungus reference is growing on me.
>>58444307>Because Westerners are too scared to be a little bit cringe due to that whole Reddit mentality and not wanting to be called a redditorIt is literally the opposite right now. The average Redditor wants everything to be ironic self-deprecating cringe while deriding the idea of anything being taken remotely seriously as being edgy.
>>58444636Reddit sounds based there
>>58444281>>old good, new badThis but unironically.
>>58441839>Pitch Black Pokemon>They scrubbed out his Species in the files for the Mega slotIt's gonna become either eclipse or full moon.>Fullmoon Island - has a crescent water patch on it>Newmoon Island - has a circle of water making it a full moonGet ready for Ghost/Dark or Fairy/Dark Darkrai in white
>>58438921If the rest of it had a slightly different look from the base form. Hell, even just a different color or pattern, I think it'd do a lot. It wouldn't make it look less goofy, which was obviously the point, but it'd make it look more like an actual change. Instead of the problem it has now, which is it's way, way too indistinguishable from normal Starmie, except for the legs. Which I don't think really add to the goofiness, and instead make it seem really boring.
>>58441174>"it's a reference to some movie nobody watched in 1950's= good" despite having zero design cues from said movieStarmie was always an Ultraman reference you fucking moronthat's why it always goes HYAH in the anime instead of saying it's name
>>58437478>>unfunny>>spongebob
For those of you that hate it, how would you have done Mega Starmie's design?
mega flygon being paywalled is the bigger crime
>>58445927
>>58445846I would have done a shooting star/UFO concept. Something similar to Thargoids from Elite.>A fringe scientific theory claims that Starmie may have assumed this form to travel the cosmos and reach our world. These claims remain unsubstantiated.Atk: 70Def:110SpA: 135SpD:110Spe:125Ability: Motor Drive
>>58445995Just realized I only gave Starmie +90, whoops. Bump its SpA up to 140.
>>58445846
>>58445995>>58446021*145God I need a nap.
>>58445846I liked this concept someone posted a while ago. It's pretty much the same as the actual starmie in that it gets loonger but the implementation is much more creative
>>58446041this design doesn't work! it's TOO SEXY!
>>58440844Starmie is actually a really solid pokemon, it has gen 1 nidoking tier coverage, it's just typically hidden in a lot of games, so people miss it on playthroughs if they're not looking
I'm a 30-year starmiefag veteran and this is my first time seeing this. I could not be more disappointed. What the hell were they thinking? Why not do something like, make the gem bigger and more powerful looking, and maybe add a third larger start behind it so it looks even more abstract and eldritch when it spins?
>>58437460wouldn't have happened if they didn't turn starmie into an unfunny joke
>>58446181Uhhh you want designs that are cool and genuinely appealing? That's cringe bro
>>58445846Make it look like an alien.
>>58445846Increase its tentacle count
>>58444016Nearly all the people upset with genwunners have been gen4-5 players.
>>58445846Some ideas I saw others pitch that I liked are turning it into a Gradius-esque ship design with Staryu or mini-Starmies as options that hover around the mega Starmie, or this really cool >>58446087 shooting star-inspired design.Personally I always liked how flexible it was in the first Pokemon stadium (this gif >>58445073 ) and thought going part Steel and having the starfish in the back be consistently spinning to resemble a buzzsaw would be a cool design. Emphasis on cool because I don't dislike goofy megas but I think you should save the goofy designs for the goofy mons like Slowbro.
>>58445846Alien shooting star is by far the best concept, eldritch brittle star and something akin to Majora's Incarnation would have worked too, they did not even try.>>58445073It's amazing how base Starmie does a better job at conveying what it's Mega is supposed to be doing.
>>58440844
>>58436443Oh look 2 suffocating, low quality, over exposing fanbases made up of tards that cannot stop mentioning them anywhere and everywhereIts super effective!!!! XD
>>58436443https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t365MuktYQs
>>58440844...duh?
>>58446548This looks stupid
>>58447548no it looks coolYOU look stupid
>>58446642you were seething and pissing so hard you forgot to make sense
>>58447548Infinitely better than what we got. Design is simple and yet affective, it does the theme of Starmie being an alien creature with a vaguely human posture thing way better than the lazy sack of shit of a Mega we got.The red tips on the legs are meant to resemble the actual eyes starfish have at the tip of their tentacles. The gem has an eye now ominously staring at you and it has a cool shooting start motif with the back section of Starmie. I think >>58446041 this was one is better in general but I posted a different variant for the sake of variety.Also fun fact I learned a while back about starfish while reading research papers, starfish despite seeming like such relatively simple creatures can actually make friends with other starfish and have complex relations with other sea creatures.
surely it will at least get triple axel
>>58445846Even when keeping to the same design idea (goofily stretching its proportions into a more human like one), it's just so bland visually. They literally just stretched it. Adding some warping to the other "limbs," changing the color, changing the texturing, even adding some sort of otherwise pointless patterning to break it up would've done a lot to make it more palatable, all without "ruining" the basic idea of making it look like a goofy starfish waddling around on land.
>>58445846>Starmie has little balls representing planets orbiting it>Starmie looks like a shooting star like >>58446087>The gem in Starmie enlarges and sticks out, and turning the limbs to be more octopus like>A Larger Starmie that has smaller Starmies to make it look like fingers and toes on its limbs
I wish my favorite would get a mega as cool as Starmie
>>58448248My favorite got a Mega as cool as Starmie, but desu it's nowhere near as funny, I still love Chandelure though
>>58446041>Becomes less mobile >>58446087Pretty much what we got already, turn it around and have it stand on those two feet and you got the Original Starwalker
>>58448281>Becomes less mobileHow? It's clearly levitating
>>58436500This is really the crux of the issue. It's funny now. It's boring a month or two from now.
>>58440844Starmie is one of the most solid Pokemon, especially for in game runs. Gets so much coverage, out speeds everything, hits hard, and looks good doing it.
>>58448471>permanent levitation>rather than using it's legs to walk jump and stretch as he does in his base alreadyThis is like those Alola shitty punishment mega descriptions but you get nothing in exchange for it. Starmie can already fly by rotating itself to boot and it does this out of necessity to go faster, it will otherwise walk.

https://x.com/HubPointless/status/1979716940479475816mega starmie antis are losing bigly
>>58451765This is a hilarious fanart twitter clip. Where's the good design now?
>>58440844Hey fuck you buddy Starmie is rad.
>>58443042>t. retard laughing and spitting and clapping at every "DAMNATION" or "WHAT ARE THOSE" memesno, I won't stop correctly calling that shit fucking design bad
>>58439113god eiscue is heinous, just fucking rancidI was stunned when I saw the cube break and IT GOT WORSE
