Why does it feel like the Applin new evo from SV feels like the more natural evolution versus the SWSH ones?
>>58496615Hydrapple is my favorite grass mon. He's perfectly suited for Ass Vest.
James Turner is a hack
Because the SwSh evos were just to show off a shitty Gigantamax gimmick that basically went unused because they were completely unappealing shitmonsHydrapple takes the Apple "Wyrm" pun and combines it with a Japanese folklore concept as a way to tell a story with Kieran becoming a much more malicious character despite being so unassuming at first. It's also like a metaphor for how SV attempts to rectify a lot of SwSh's shortcomings directly by building off of that game to show they learned a thing or two about game design, same with Duraladon's evolution
The SWSH evos are so ugly.
>>58496615Hydrapple > Dipplin > Applin > Flapple > shit > piss > Appletun
>>58496615Why do Flapple and Appletun's GMax forms also look more like Hydrapple than either of them?
>>58496815>>58496973agreed on flappleappletun is based however
>>58497779Looks nothing like the evos.
>>58496615The original evos feel like they came up with the idea of an "apple wyrm" but didn't actually know what to do with it. They're okay, but very underwhelming for dragon types, more like middle evosHydrapple is a fully developed concept and a cool ass motherfucker
>>58496615Appletun isn't a real pokemon. It wasn't in any games, I don't believe you
It doesn't, it feels like a regional
This entire line is an absolute disgrace, it's complete and utter shit. Almost as bad as the new feraligatr mega.also they probably designed this batch ahead of time and split it up between the two gens because they thought it would be fun.
>>58496615Probably the fact that it has 3 stages, which is more room for the concept to evolve.I want to say that maybe Flapple and Appletun should've had middle stages, but to be honest, that would just make the family feel a little bloated.
>>58496815>they learned a thing or two about game designI don't think game design is the term you mean.
>>58496615Appletun should have been a 2nd stage while Flapple should have an evolution
>>58497779>It even has the syrupHuh.
>>58496615Appletun sells by far the most merch though
I think Flapple is a good idea and also feels like a natural progression, just maybe could have been excuted a little better with the apple slices actually fused to it instead of looking like they're tacked on. Could do with an evo that pushes it furher too.Appletun is nonsensical dogshit however. I'm glad now that Hydrapple exists people are rightfully being more critical of it.
>>58498904ok jew
Why does the Giga look nothing like it?
>>58496615he keeps the apple
