I like Tulip
>>
>>58543842
She doesn't actually work at Game Freak, she's a freelancer they hire.
>>
Pre Gen 9, she also designed Professor Burnet, Lana, Victor, and Gloria
>>
>>58543832
I dont remember their names besides Iono, thats how forgettable they are
>>
>>58543910
And for Pokemon, she designed Mienshao, Pancham, Mimikyu, Hisuian Growlithe and Arcanine, and the Tandamaus and Tinkatink lines

Iono alone is worth every penny they paid the guy. Even though the other characters are extremely forgettable.

Iono is being outdone by Canari

>>
>>58543935
Iono has a stronger staying power. Canari will probably lose steam soon enough and just get perma attached to Gwynn.
>>
>>58543922
I dont want to look them up, theyre bad characters and designs
Did you miss the whole point?

I didn't forget Iono or the gay ass looking snowboarder or the rapping grandma... I don't recall any other gym leaders.

Oh yeah and Larry but I think more of him as an elite 4 lol.
>>
>>58544012
>the gay ass looking snowboarder
Which still gets more bitches than you i might remind
>>
>>58543935
Only because Canari has Iono to piggyback off of whenever she isn't being paired up with Gwynn for easy yuri.
Iono didn't have another Iono to ride along the way, nor an easy yuri pairing.

How does one go from Burnet and Gloria to Tulip?

Cripes dude, what a fucking joke.
James Turner has better designs than anything Megumi made, I love Golurk, Naganadel, Guzzlord, Buzzswole and Centiskorch, his biggest sin was making the Vanilluxe line, which he should rightfully be insulted by, but I cannot in good faith say I like a single one of the Pokemon Megumi designed and I only like Katy as a character since she's cute and a fellow baker.
Turner designed Sada and Turo aka the hot professors, who are infinitely better than any character Megumi made.
>>
>>58544058
>>58544076
ZA still has dogshit generic NPCs though, even good designs are tainted because they insist on shuffling the skin tone, hair color, facial features, etc. away from the initial pitch design (see: any Hex Maniac that isn't the classic Black 'n' Purple white skin combo).

The new Kalos characters aren’t even gym leaders
>>
>>58544151
Literally every site with third party advertisements has pornography on it, technically speaking.
>>
>>58544022
By being a good character designer? It's like you don't understand how character design works. You don't just design every character in the same generically attractive cutesy way, you design characters differently based on their role. Tulip is a makeup artist, so she has obnoxiously long eyelashes and big eyes, like makeup artists.
>>
>>58544164
>I read it, and “gym leaders popularity pixiv” doesn’t explain anything about what the arrows in your image mean
Sounds like a your problem then

Retard do you seriously think Pixiv is classifying Z-A characters the same way? The state of SVfags’ iq lmao
>>
>>58544058

Not true at all. In ZA they toned down the female characters hard, with only the industry shill pick being allowed to have tits.
>>
>>58544190
>They're totally not the gym leaders replacement goys!!
KWAB!!!
>>
>>58544178
>th-they're gym leaders because you fight them to progress the story!
Damn, so why didn't they count the Bug Catcher with a Level 9 Weedle as a Gym Leader? You can't progress through Viridian Forest without battling him and winning.
>>
>>58544200
i didn't know you could have a promotion match with a big catcher the more you know i guess
>>
>>58544205
No, you're saying they count as Gym Leaders because they're mandatory to story progression. This means the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle is a Gym Leader by this classification.
>>
>>58543832

Gloria and Lana are their magnum opus
>>
>>58544248
>the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle is a Gym Leader by this classification.
What badge and TM does he give you at the end of the battle?
>>
>>58544267
>>Needs to beat up trainers that use a specific type
What types do Zach, Yvon, Xavi, Rintaro and Vinnie exclusively specialize in?
Bear in mind, that's roughly half of the "Gym Leaders" you have to fight in the game.
>>They actually progress the story
So does the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle. If Red doesn't defeat him, he can't make it to Pewter City in order to battle Brock. There is NO way around this Bug Catcher, just like how there's no way around someone like Zach, who is also a generic NPC that is treated like a Gym Leader by your classifications.
>>When you beat them to rank higher the Pokemon's obedience level rises as well
Is that what we're basing it on now? That a trainer has to change your obedience cap flag in order to count as a Gym Leader? Damn, I can't believe Alola only has four Gym Leaders, why'd they waste their time on all those filler fights against the Totems that don't actually meaningfully progress the story or give me anything important?
>>58544291
>What badge and TM does he give you at the end of the battle?
What TM do Zach, Yvon, Xavi and Rintaro give you at the end of the battle?
>>
>>58544304
>What types do Zach, Yvon, Xavi, Rintaro and Vinnie exclusively specialize in?
Taxi marathon shota and food types
>So does the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle.
Barely has anything to do with the story at all
>Is that what we're basing it on now?
They needed a badge replacement for the gym leaders replacements duh
>>
>>58544311
>Barely has anything to do with the story at all
Zach has nothing to do with the story either, he's just another mandatory loser you have to beat to progress. They were so lazy they didn't bother putting a real character in as your first promotion match, which is equivalent to a Gym Leader, which means the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle is comparable to a Gym Leader.
>>
>>58544319
>Zach has nothing to do with the story either
Proof?
>>
>>58544322
What's Zach's role in the story beyond "irrelevant nobody trainer I have to defeat in order to progress the game"? Where was his surprise comeback during the game's narrative climax where he helped me fight off the Rogue Megas as I traversed the chaos of Lumiose to reach Zygarde, revealing that me kicking his ass actually inspired him to git gud, and now he's here standing with the best of them (me) and taking down Megas?

>Here's your new kalos "Gym leaders"replacement bro
>>
>>58544333
I asked what Zach's role in the story is beyond "irrelevant nobody trainer I have to defeat in order to progress the game" and you haven't told me. As far as I'm concerned, he's the exact same level of importance as the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle.
But Zach is considered a Gym Leader because he's tied to my Promotion Match, therefore, the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle is also a Gym Leader because they're virtually identical in their narrative irrelevance (random shitter who only exists to roadblock me from progressing and never does anything ever again after I defeat them).
>>
>>58543910
Burnet and Lana are nice, don't like the rest.
>>58543917
Mienshao and Mimikyu are nice, don't like the rest.
>>
>>58544345

>>58544174
>By being a good character designer?
Not anymore. >>58544058
>>
>Here's your clemont replacement lol
>>
>>58544351
I can't give you proof because the proof doesn't exist.
Zach literally never appears again to do anything story-relevant after you defeat him, he exists solely as a completely optional taxi driver NPC and then returns as a JOKE FIGHT when you get paired up with him in your Infinite Z-A Royale Reward Match, using the exact same team with the exact same moves and levels from the first time you fought him.
But you insist Zach is a Gym Leader because he's tied to your Promotion Match. Therefore, the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle is comparable to a Gym Leader because defeating him is tied to your game progression, you can't progress the game without defeating this kid because there's no way around him otherwise, just like how you can't progress in ZA without defeating Zach.
>>
>>58544361
>I can't give you proof because the proof doesn't exist.
So you don't have one got it
>>
>>58544340
Are people like you acting retarded on purpose
We're in Lumiose city specifically for the entire duration of the game
>>
>>58544362
If you're so sure there's proof that Zach is a story-relevant character, why not show it to me so you can dunk on me and end this indefinite back-and-forth arguing? You really seem fond of Zach as a character to defend his honor as a Gym Leader equivalent, surely you can tell me his story relevance after you kick his loser ass in your first Promotion Match.
>>
>>58544366
i still see no proof buddy
>>58544364
You didn't point out how i'm wrong
>>
>>58544376
So you don't have proof that Zach is a story-relevant character, therefore he's equivalent to the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle, and because Zach is a Gym Leader equivalent, this means the Bug Catcher from Viridian Forest with a Level 9 Weedle is also a Gym Leader,, got it.
