>>58576940
The design doesn't work with it partially closed, the biting power comes from the upper jaw being violently slammed down.
>>
>>58575503
I disagree, it instead proves how stupidly stubborn they were with the concept. Totodile does not have a head that big, and the mask covers more space than Feraligatr's head unnecessarily which is what causes them the need to stretch the arms out. If you literally just size the mask down you instantly fix (or at least lessen) that problem and it takes no effort to realise or do, they were just so set on whatever first draft they had they couldn't see for shit.
>>
>>58575503
If they had to stretch something it should’ve been the fin too. Why not make it smaller and stretch out? Like what the fuck it’s so retarded the whole design

Wow, they really hate him, huh? Did they do an internal survey that came up with Feraligatr being hated or something? Utterly baffling, was this really necessary? Who came up with this? How did this come into being? Like every time more info about this comes out it just gets worse and worse. I genuinely believe the designers had a bone to pick, here.

A lot of the old professors shitcks have just gotten reconned. The series has grown past that. Like we can't just magically find a new region with new never before seen mons anymore.

At least the crack-tale about Typhlosion isn’t actually canon. Meanwhile, Feraligatr’s canon, in-game peak form… Turns it into a fucking toilet. It almost feels like Meganium only won by being the least hated by Game Freak out of the Gen 2 starter trio.

make no mistake, i don't think it'll happen. I'm just sympathetic to all you feraligatr bros

>>58578990
Pretty much, Mega Blastoise with Shell Smash is so retarded that it would never be allowed in OU.
Mega Feraligatr is so painfully mediocre to outright bad that it would be a fucking miracle if it's even good down in RU, especially considering regular Feraligatr with Sheer Force is already a superior version to the abomination that is it's Mega, both visually and battle wise.
>>

>>58579840
>>58579900
Isnt piplup the most piplup the most popular water starter in japan anyways? No reason why they couldnt gone with that and sell a shit ton of merch like it already does. Meganium was the only member if the johto trio that truly deserved this mega.

how?

>>58577591
This is cope. Literary no one run poison moves anyway. It will struggle due to being Mega CHARIZARD Y food, but it has bulk and could be a solid support depending on its abilty which unlike Gatr is more nebulous at this point.
>>58577803
>Did they do an internal survey that came up with Feraligatr being hated or something
I highly doubt that. Gatr is only “hated” in that Typhlosion mogs the fuck out of it in terms popularity among Johto starters, but Gatr still decently popular by starter standards and especially by Gen 2 standards. Or at the very least it’s far more popular than Meganium and Emboar combined and Game Freak didn’t turn those into their prevos.
>>58578487
Dragon’s Maw would be better but I don’t see it being very good. It thankfully JUST out damages RegiDrago’s Choice Band Outrage but RegiDrago is faster and can run Dragon Energy. Megagatr has to use Outrage (worthless in VGC) or Dragon Rush (75% accurate)
>>58577055
Except that’s not even how jaws works. The bottom jaw is where bites gets most of the power
I do NOT have a dog in this fight, and not even a gatrfag. In fact I’m neutral at best towards all the ZA starters. but I feel the mega should have had the “hood” be permanently down. And have its arms be really buff and it flex its arms up to “bite”

You could always give it Tough Claws and Wave Crash.

>>58579956
>The bottom jaw is where bites gets most of the power
isn't that the opposite with Alligators? I was under the impression they were one of the few animals that got their biting power from simply slamming down their upper jaw

Feraligatr was never good. It doesn’t feel like a natural progression for the Totodile line. The problem is that unlike the other Water starters, it doesn’t have a theme. Blastoise is like a firefighter that shoots water out of its cannons. Empoleon is an emperor; Primarina is a singer; Inteleon is a secret agent with biological gadgets; Quaquaval is a carnival dancer. Feraligatr is just a generic alligator that bites stuff and that’s it. There’s nothing that makes it stand out. They had the chance to make a proper final evolution for Totodile back in Gen 2 by building off of Croconaw’s caveman motif, but instead we just got “Totodile but bigger”. No mega evolution would look good for this Pokemon because it’s just a shit design from the get-go.

You watch them online artists gonna portray Mega Emboar now as an Ugly Bastard/Fat Discord mod in doujins and hentai arts

Abysmal effort. Can't wait for the inevitable "it grew on me" sentiment after this abomination turns out to be great in competitive play.
>>
>>58590251
>great in competitive play.
There's a 90% chance its getting Strong Jaw, and I don't see it getting any STAB Bite Moves.
And even if it gets Dragon Maw it'll likely be decent at best.
>>
>>58590851
Swords Dance + Scale Shot would be really fun with Dragon's Maw
>>
>>58591102
Isn’t it shit without loaded dice?
>>
>>58575068
People keep posting the version of the model with the head back for some reason. Maybe because they don’t want to admit the actual design is cool
>>
>>58591111
Swords Dance Garchomp ran Scale Shot before Dice existed
Dragon Maw would still make it a strong attack
>>
>>58591118
The design without the fin involved doesn’t look bad. If the fin folded down the design would be acceptable in the idle pose (even if the attacking animation is retarded for needing to be forced to work)

Glad people are realizing this. If westerners had control over the IP we wouldn't have these character design problems.
>>
>>58591556
>character design problems
Pokemon might look a bit "better" but human characters would be ugly as shit
>>
>>58591576
Yeah, you’d see worse human designs and maybe less goofy pokemon designs. I’d rather they just adjust their pokemon creation process to include western reviewers or something, ANYTHING that helps pull them out of Japanese-only references that result in skewed designs.

I really don't care. It's a global property now, and we have as much right to it as they do. Unironically, an entire team of Americans would make a better Pokemon game than they could ever make. And honestly, it deserves to be stolen from them since they're running the vision into the mud.

Because that's what it looks like most of the time in-game.
The fin only goes over the head momentarily when attacking. So it only looks good for a few frames, and the rest of the time it looks like a toilet.
>>
>>58593090
*finishes bax
Baxcalibur looks unfinished and, for lack of a better word, naked. The mega completes its design and makes it look like a proper pseudo.
But the fact that Bax was made this gen, makes me think that GF made it unfinished on purpose in order for the mega to complete it.
Which I don't really like. I'd rather Mega Bax was just what Bax normally looked like, and they could've made a Mega Bax years later when they actually had an idea.
>>
>>58593591
> I'd rather Mega Bax was just what Bax normally looked like, and they could've made a Mega Bax years later when they actually had an idea.
They aren’t making any more megas ever again. They wanted to give Bax a mega but knew ZA DLC would be their absolute last chance.

Sure they are. As soon as ZA is old enough for there to be adults who grew up playing it, and can now be nostalgiabaited.

Sugimori flat out admitted in an interview that he hates being known as the Pokémon guy, has been bitter about it since Gen2.

Emboar is only here because they want to guarantee sales from China, so that makes sense.
>>
>>58575017
if the stupid helmet was integrated lime a tortoise's shell then it could be excused, hell make it proto wings that just fold like a mask or like a scarab's shell...
>>
>>58593534
They should've just straight up given it longer arms instead of having them stretch out like a rubberhose cartoon when attacking. At least then it look more different from the base design.

Mega Swampert was probably the "stupidest" looking start mega before ZA and even then he's better looking than skibidigatr
>>
>>58596030
Why do people think Mega Swampert looks bad? Are the arms that jarring?
>>
>>58596039
I don't find it bad even I just remember it being picked on a lot for its too heavy design

I want to see an animation where the opposing Pokémon grabs the toilet lid and tears it off of feraligatr.
>>
>>58595993
Yes
>>
>>58596074
Baxcalibur is not a Spinosaur
>>
>>58595925
Or they should have given it a smaller hood.
If any part of the body should have been smaller and stretched for the attack animation, it should have been the hood that makes it look stupid whenever it's not down.
>>
>>58582824
I'm not sure what Anon is talking about, but Rowan's research entails figuring out if Pokemon evolve in order to reach maturity, or in order to become "more complete".
I guess Feraligatr's ultimate form being a giant Totodile tangentially relates to that question, but I don't think it makes it irrelevant.
>>
>>58595935
Law enforcement has literally always been a joke in Pokemon, remember that time in Kanto they were negligible enough to let an 11 year old into a city under lockdown due to being overrun by the literal largest yakuza in the region, all because said 11 year old happened to be carrying a bottle of water?

Weird

>>58596030
>>58596039
Mega Swampert is a way more coherent design than Gatr, it's Swampert but hulked out. He's visibly bulkier and more imposing.
They went too far in making Gatr looks goofy.
>>
>>58600741
nta but while I "get" Mega Swampert's design ethos I've stood by the fact that it both makes no actual sense with the line as it was before (there was nothing on any of the designs that indicated that becoming a hulked-out monster was an end-goal), looks stupid due to the tiny legs, and doesn't even make sense with the gameplay shift from bulky tank/pivot to swift swim sweeper because if it was going to gain so much mass you'd think its role would reflect that and it outright looks WORSE at swimming than base Swampert.
>>
>>58600779
The actual lore for Swampert involves it having strong arms, but I can get being surprised by the big arms
>>
>>58575372
>no mention of Croconaw
>>
>>58600779
Did you not see the fucking reference art showing the jet propulsion from it's arm gills? It launches itself forward with it and also uses it to punch things. The only fair point is that it doesn't really look faster in the Mega on land compared to Swampert.

Feraligatr's entire fandom revolved around how threatening it looks and it's overall edge appeal. It was give dark type moves for a reason.
I genuinely feel bad for Gatrfags. I'm just glad my starter was saved from this post Gen-7 wacky/cutesy slop.

This thread has been necrobumped multiple times. Let it die.

Can't never recover from this by the way.
Get absolutely murdered on the move to 3D
Starter gets weaker as it evolves.
Another toilet dragon
Mega is an old man trying to recapture its youth.
Stretch Armstrong arms because GF is too lazy to come up with a cohesive and functional design
It's genuinely over
>>
I'm gonna be real with you, in art and stills it does not look good
But in motion when playing it's fine

I honestly wish it just in general had the big ass head and ran around fucking berserk chomping with its little red spike arms flailing about. While ridiculous, at least it would have gone the whole way instead of this half baked idea.

>>58604466
All of its dex entries literally revolve around how scary it is and how strong its jaws are, and the end result is
>hurrdurr big Totodile head bites better lmao
saying this thing is supposed to be goofy is like saying Charizard is goofy because it got its head stuck in a pipe one time.

it would look better if it stayed quadrapedal, not even a design change, just let its arms hit the ground like how the normal Swampert

They design Pokemon bad on purpose so people make memes about them and talk about them.

It does actually move like that. I’m not sure why they decided its idle pose should look the way it does.
