Why did they stop making Pokemon like these?
who the hell is steven stone
>>58784838slugma balls
What even is the correlation between these?
>>58784836westoids
>>58784850good and sovlful designs
>>58784836Mons that get revealed years before their generation of games or shitmons? Because they still make the latter.
>>58784850Pokemon that get released/teased before they debut officially in a game.The last time I remember this happening is like Helioptile in the Black and White anime Decolora Adventures
>>58784836no one wants to see the shitty designs they make today early
>>58784836Just reveal a new Charizard form. No need to gamble on a new Pokémon when you can continue milking ol' reliable.
>>58784938I was going to say that this has to be good evidence for how rushed the games are nowadays, but we now know DP were also rushed and Munchlax still debuted like 2 years before their release.
>>58784850Zoomgroid
>>58784986They also teased Bonsly, Munchlax, Weavile and everyone's favorite Lucario here or there before the release of DP
>>58784938There's a constant stream of Pokemon shit nowadays so people don't need early mons to be reminded that a new game is going to release at some point. Everyone expects a new gen every few years at this point.
>>58784986>DP were also rushedNo less than GS or RS, if anything DP got it the best because they started dev immediately after FRLG dropped. The difference is rushing a 2D game just is easier to do than a 3D game. It comes across as DP were the last games to really had a bunch of cut mons because going from BW-onward it seems like if something doesn't get passed the concept stage, it doesn't get implemented

Gen 2 pokemon that look like they should be Gen 3 and Gen 3 pokemon that look like they should be in Gen 2 are peak design. I wish someone would just redesign every pokemon after gen 2 with this aesthetic.
>>58784836because this only works in the pre-internet age
>>58785216what is this thing, and why does it look like it's going to suck my dick in a nightclub bathroom
I love Marill, it's so cute and blue and round
>>58784998DP easily had the best build up to its debut
>>58784836Why are they almost always shitmons? It sucked being excited to use one of these fuckers for sometimes well over a year only to find out they were dogshit, or even worse, late game AND dogshit.
>>58786626They started too early with it. Fucking 2 and half years before the game came out Munchlax was everywhere, might as well have been a gen 3 pokemon.
>>58786586Jirachi.>>58786735I remember once reading somewhere that the development of DP had a good start but they had some difficulties with the DS, so the game experienced some delays.Because of this, there were large gaps between reveals and new info, so the anime and the marketing people had to make the most of what they had.I don't know if it's true, but it seems believable.
>>58785216>>58786798Crunched more than rushed, yeah.
>>58786816Forgot I attached the pic bc I was about to reply to >>58786735 saying Barbacle feels like a spiritually Unovan Pokémon before I realized you can say that about half of the Kalos 'mons bc there's so few of them the region doesn't really have a unique identity.
>>58786723They did the Latis and Lucario. I remember people thinking Lucario was a legendary.
>>58786586Mareanie
>>58786824Its funny how back then marketing treated even non legends like legendaries now legendaries are treated like any other pokemon and arguably worse in a few cases
>>58786824They way they utilized Lucario in mystery dungeon was cool. He was this "legendary" explorer where you could get his rank and trophy but he wasn't in the game cause it was a gen 3 game. Between that and the movie people were really hyped to eventually get this Pokemon.
