tropius threadmy boy needs more love
>>58688942
>>58688942So, would you guys prefer an evo or mega-evo?I wish they gave it a pre-evo and gave it +100 bst instead, its such a good design I'd hate for it to be overshadowed
>>58689429Yeah, the design is too good to change, I'd prefer a new ability/more BST
>>58689429while I dont like the mechanic, I feel like Tropius would have been an interesting prospect for a dynamax form
>>58689429EvolutionIt is not going to be worth a mega slot (and being permanently unable to get an evolution barring total retcons) with its bad defensive typing and the 560 BST it'd have if it got a mega added to its current stats, throw in the fact that it'd take up an item slot and you have a recipe for a dead on arrival mega, even if you minmaxed its stats.>>58689498to be fair, if it gets an evolution, you can still use the original, but with the benefit of eviolite access so it won't faint to a stiff breeze
>>58689429he's perfect the way he is design wise, i'd rather he just get a bit more stats. idk what they were smoking with this big ass dinosaur having such shit stats
>>58689592>idk what they were smoking with this big ass dinosaur having such shit statsexpectations le subverted as alwaysGame Freak needs to stop that shit.
>>58689429Preevo+stat buff seems like the best option, the design feels too "final" for a continuation anyway>>58689592All of the hoenn single stage mons got shafted stat-wise, tropius is no exception. I wonder what its bst would've been if they stuck to the original plan of a three stage line with tropius at the end.
>>58689961agree that a prevo would be nice alongside a stat buff. he doesn't even need to be good, i'd just wish he wasn't a total shitmonkinda surprised we don't see more tropius from fagfreak considering how based he is
>>58688942Ancient Evolution when?
>>58690736i still dont think i've seen a fan evo i've liked for tropius
>>58691393i wonder when we'll get an actual grass/flying bird
>>58691735does rowlet not count?
>>58690291>kinda surprised we don't see more tropius from fagfreakThere's the reason.
>>58689429He, along with Gyradose, were my HM slaves in Gen 3
Me on the right.
>>58689592>>58689629Simple answer: they liked Meganium so much that they made another one
>>58693775tropius and meganium art goes super hard but i dont have much of it saved sadly
Do you see banana man?Hopping over on de white hot sandHere he come with some for meFreshly taken from banana treeBanana man, me want a tonGimme double and a bonus oneGimme more for all me friendsDis banana flow will never endDo you want a banana?Peel it down and go, "Mm-mmm mm-mmm"Do you want a banana?Dis banana for you :)
>>58693972I have this
>>58690991and pre evolution?
>>58698624yeah, there's been some good ones, but they're pretty much just regular tropiuses that are smaller and missing some sort of feature or two
>>58700751very polite looking tropius
>>58700973Add two more and this Tropius makes Mega Zygarde look like a shitmon in comparison.
This guy is intimidating when rom hacks use it as a early game boss
>>58689429I'd agree that pre-evo with a stat buff, but that's really not realistic. They've never given a drastic stat change like that.I also agree that its design is too damn good as is, but unfortunately I dont think there's really an salvaging it even with a stat buff. It'd have to get a really hefty makeover on top of that. Even a Mega would need to do some MBeedrill-esque lifting.Realistically, I think an evolution is the closest we'll get, and honestly one dropping the Flying typing at that. Like idk, maybe you bullshit some lore about how Tropius that only eat Babiri Berries or some shit, becomes part Steel and too heavy for flight. Uses the wings for sunbathing, photosynthesis or something, idk. Whatever gets the job done. If nothing else, Tropius is surprisingly modest in size, so there's room for a huge sauropod evo.
>>58689429Roselia's treatment, baby and evolution
>>58702262make it grass/ground since brown and yellow, two colors associated with the ground type, are prominently featured on its design
do you associate tropius more with the sun or with the rain?
>>58703501Sun, pic not related. Being native to a rainy route left a much stronger impression on most people, if the amount of rain themed art is anything to go by
sun, for sure. all 3 of his abilities benefit from the sun, and it's a tropical pokemon. the rain route in hoenn is a huge mood tho
it would be nice to sit on a tropius' back and give them a hug!
>>58704997extremely based and true my friend
>>58705371Really cool designs. Majestic and strong...
loving all these new tropius images. thank you so much brother men, love you all (no homo)please send more
>>58691774how the fuck is that a bird?
>>58710460how is rowlet not a bird
>>58712275amazing spot for a nap...
>>58688942>my boyFaggot or Femoid?
>>58688943>pidgey uses peck>it's super effective!>tropius fainted
>>58713772you're so porn brained you assume anyone treating someone of the same sex even remotely positively is somehow implicative of a romantic/sexual relationshipstop posting for 48 years
>>58688942She needs a tail, she deserves one, she is a dinogiraphant, a reptile.
>>58689592Even Aurorus got it better because it can abuse Trick Room and Round team strats in doubles and triples.At that point of the game you find it together with Absol, both have Gen 3 slow frail mixed or slow attacker stats for whatever reason and both give you the impression of being more late game strong mons design wise. Absol got stronger at least through gens, Tropius got cucked as soon as weather stopped being permanent again after Gen 5 and Gen 6 glory days.If Hoenn had a broken mon for ingame runs that was early game Zangoose with level up Sword Dance wrecking shit after getting Shadow Ball and Brick Break.Kecleon stats at least reflect that part of game progress even if it's just a bipedal Seviper 2.0.I consider Tropius being the big herbivore of its region like Tauros and Miltank before it, but the other two were balanced better, plus Grass/Flying isn't that insane as defensive type, maybe if it had higher HP.
>>58714088it's so bullshit broit's a big awesome dinosaur that can fly, sort of dragonesque in some regards, and his base stats are worse than fuckin glalie, and not even specialized in any way that might lend to a specific niche or somethinghelp a brother out save this pokemon...
>>58714069If I was judging tropius as a new mon I'd agree that it looks better with a tail, but after looking at the tailless design for so long, adding one doesn't feel right
>>58714683What is Tropius main body based on?Looks like a kiwi fruit but if you take the dino part and the long neck it might also take inspiration from a sprout growing from a seed. Then it also looks somewhat like a banana flower cluster? A red banana?Should have had a sort of evo or mega with a pineapple like skin resembling dragon scales.
Larry is such a chad that after saving Dunsparce with an evo he also brought a Tropius on his league team.
what the FUCK was up with this design
>>58718749early placeholder to put in game during testing while the artists refined the final design
