This just looks like they actually finished the design

>>58575287
How the fuck does this thing lie down and sleep
>>
>>58575306
It's a mega, it doesn't. If it did it would just sleep on its side I guess, but people tend to look at megas wrong when they're asking how they sleep or how something looks impractical for every day life, since these are forms the mon will be in for like 5 minutes tops.

It's a Mega Evolution. It's a temporary powerup bro.

I like that it’s posture is more like Arctibax
Should’ve been the default design

>>58575306
Megas last like 5 minutes in universe its the one time stupid designs that could inconvenience them or make life overall difficult are fine because it's not permanent.

>I don't get why Baxcalibur tries to stand upright.
it's a godzilla reference
did you get it
it looks like godzilla
but like from the godzilla movies where the suit looks stupid and obviously fake so we made it look bad on purpose
it's a reference though so it's good design
please clap

>zoomer retard forgets or ignores the lion's share of Game Freak staff are unironic boomer fucks who draw as much from their own childhoods in the 19XX's as they do from modern child-friendly trends
What he said, but unironically. Old godzilla is soul, zoomers hate soul, unless it's some pre-packaged, made-for-only-them flavour.
>>
>>58575287
I literally couldn't tell it was a mega when it appeared on the trailer
>>
>>58575687
Right, except T-Tar not only did it first but way better than Barfcalibur, so...
>>
>>58575287
No, it manages to look overdesigned and super plain at the same time
>>
>>58575287
They reeeeally should have done something with the claws. Also adding two more spikes on the sides of the back glaive would have given it a better presence as well. >>58575287 Kind of disagree and it still somehow looks unfinished.
>>
>>58575287
The spike on the stomach is retarded as fuck but other than that, yeah it's just what Baxcalibur always should've been
>>
>>58575753
Yeah zoomer, I get it, you hate that which doesn't suck your childhhod's dick. I ALSO know Game Freak nor I care about worms like you in the slightest who want to retard (classic usage of the word) the series due to their inability to cope with the fact they're disposable by design.
>>
>>58575687
There are few things more zoomer than thinking mindlessly throwing out blatant references to old media for no other purpose than for people to "get" them is somehow clever. People who truly love that old media don't simply MAKE references to it, they USE it as a reference to create their own new things.

It looks less like a spore creature which is nice. The original form always loooked like one with how its parts were placed on its body.

They didn't do anything to take one of the few features that consistently develops through the line - the little hand quills. There's a single yellow one on Frigibax, two orange on Arctibax, and three red on Baxcalibur. Instead of making four of them, I elongated the middle one and changed the color on the Mega and altered the hue a little bit to fit in with the rest of the deign's colors.
>>
>>58575287
This design is the epitome of missed potential. At the very least this shouldve been the final stage evo design and they Mega should allow it to take out the sword and wield it. It looked incredibly fucking stupid trying to stab people with the spine

I don't know, brother, the fact you're getting so vitriollic and defensive over this leads me to believe you're projecting more than anything. I'm not a zoomer and I simply think Baxcalibur is an ugly and redundant reference to Godzilla on top of being way less subtle about it than Tyranitar ever was. You can "nuh-uh" me all you like in response to this, I'm not gonna keep humoring you. Cheers.
>>
Honestly I didn't even notice at first it was different I forgot what this guy looked like
>>
>>58575917
Yep, looks better and is such an obvious and simple thing to do lol. Why are they so god damn lazy and bad at this?
>>
>>58575878
Except they didn't "blindly" throw out a reference, they crafted and took care to represent the classic era of 'zilla, especially since the younger set really didn't bother with t-tar, as they never had the nostalgiawank for it, like the zoomers did. Never mind, they kinda have a series large enough TO do multi-'mon references and go different flavours wityh each if they wanted. Fuck, they rip enough from yokai still and yet spergs shit on it because they think it's pandering to coomers (M-Froslass being a reference to yet ANOTHER female ice demon that supposedly haunted Japan, related to the Yuki-onna and the snorunt . forsslass . M-froslass line ALL being inspired by a particular flavour of Yuki-Onna, with a child wearing traditional snowclothes that look like Snorunt's cone body). I suggest finding some more "creative" series to follow, if simple shit like referencing boomer'zilla pisses you off, to the point you NEEDED to crty to the internet about it. Thing's clearly no longer yours to play with.

Baxcalibur is shit

>Except they didn't "blindly" throw out a reference, they crafted and took care to represent the classic era of 'zilla
Kaijufags truly have no standards at all. Baxcalibur is among the ugliest Pokémon ever designed, with one of the few worse ones being its own prevo that a straight reference to the fucking Jar Jar Binks of the Godzilla franchise of all things. There's nothing respectful about any of it, you are simply a coprophiliac.

I really thought this was another thread where people took the worst fan mega model they can find off instagram and pretend it's official
>it is real
grim
>>
>>58576030
Why do zoomers pretend to be oldfags when it comes to defending Baxcalibur? Nothing about the design is good, compare it to every single "kaijumon" from the past and they're all far fucking better, Aggron, Tyranitar, Rhydon, Volcarona, Groudon, Hydreigon, Guzzlord, Araquanid and hell, a dozen other monstrous Pokemon that could pass for kaijus, and yes, kaijus aren't all just Godzilla and there's a massive variety of them that are gigantic spiders, slime monsters, octopuses, there's Mothra and there's Angirus too. All Pokemon that can fit as kaijus are FAR better than Baxcalibur, all of them except maybe Duraludon but that thing is so ugly that the bar to get over it is so low it might as well be in hell.
Kaijufags as is usual are completely braindead slop eating weeabos with no taste.

at least Chimecho is interesting but they really are going all out on the "make megas look like preevos" concept, I don't know what it adds to the designs...

Volcarona and Mothra are both inspired by the Atlas moth.
Gigantamax Butterfree is a reference to Mothra, but so is Volcarona.

Tyranitar doesn't look like Godzilla though, don't even know what the fuck Tyranitar is meant to be it just looks retarded in general.

>>58576755
That's the point zoomer, it's inspired by it, not a shitty ripoff "reference" like Baxcalibur is.
You're so insufferably retarded that you cannot understand even the simplest things without someone yelling at your face what they are meant to be.

Mega forms don't have a sleeping animation in the game
>>
>>58577645
They could get some eventually considering sleep is still a status effect that's fairly relevant, also Mega Darkrai is absolute going to revolve around putting things to sleep and trapping them in endless nightmares.

hows it different aside from being more purple
>>
>>58575687
nta but my only problem with bax was the tiny round head, which mega bax fixes by extending the spikes a bit
now it is lvdokino
t. zoomer retard
>>
>>58575287
if by finished, you mean add a bunch of tacky shit on it for the sake of it, then sure.
>>58575964
wojak aside, this kind of sums it up
>>
>>58575287
Shouldn’t GF be embarrassed about Bax’s design? They should’ve just made a Mega Haxorus into a godzilla ref and swept Bax under the rug.
>>
>>58575418
arctibax is the only one of the line that's any good. As always. Middle stages just keep winning.
>>
>>58575287
there's no fixing this thing
>>
>>58579543
True. You can’t fix something that’s already good.
>>
On one hand, it's one of the lamer Megas due to how little changes about the Pokemon in general, on the other, it's a strict improvement on Baxcalibur, which felt like an unfinished design, even it's postured got fixed, it's depressing that this is a Mega, because it should've just been Baxcalibur's base design.
I still really dislike the hand quills, they look like they have 0 reason to exist.
>>
>>58577405
>gen 1/2
Pokemon were as detailed as the low-res low-color sprites allowed
>gen 9
Baxcalibur could be more detailed, but they weren't allowed more than 5 minutes to make each Pokemon model
>>
Finish the design, you say? You don't suppose they've been planning a Mega from the get go?
