How was Gamefreak able to change design philosophy so dramatically without Pokemon losing it's appeal?
that is a man with a dog face wearing cosplay
>>58873055>>58873056
>>58873055>without Pokemon losing it's appeal?huh?
>>58873055FTFY
>>58873055Right isnt cartoony enough give it mickey mouse gloves, goofy's boots, and a cartoonishly big mustache and its accurate
>>58873055>>58873065
>>58873080>expanding on the subtler themes of the first stage in a way that makes sensethe official design doesn't do that because it doesn't make sense for it to suddenly become worse at using swords>shell on its chest becomes armorthe redesign does that without being retarded and nonfunctional>based on a sea lionthe redesign does that without being retarded and nonfunctional>facial hair resembles Japanese facial armorthe redesign does that without being retarded and nonfunctional>resembles Japanese military commanders from that erathe redesign does that without being retarded and nonfunctional
>>58873065>If Gamefreak made it in 1996-2006So the same design then
>>58873095there isn't a single gen 1-4 design that's quadruped for no reason, so no.
>>58873065>>58873092hi yawnfag
>>58873055i love my futchy girlfailure wife
>>58873092>the official design doesn't do that because it doesn't make sense for it to suddenly become worse at using swordsit does, sorry you have the thought process of an infant and had to grow up with jobmons like Greninja and Cinderace instead of actual believable monster designs like Samurott and Torterra.>the redesign does that without being retarded and nonfunctionalNo it doesn't. OP's is a jobmon while what you posted is an Excadrill donutsteel.
>>58873065>>58873055You can make samurott work without making it bipedal. Pic rel fixes its proportions to make the anatomy more believable for a quadruped
>>58873065You're doing God's work.
>>58873099Um schizo, most quadrupeds that era are quadruped because their inspiration is quadruped
>>58873108Too cool for pokemon it needs to look more retarded with flipper legs
>>58873107>it doesIt doesn't.>and had to grow up with jobmons like Greninja and CinderaceNo, I grew up with designs that actually made sense like Blastoise and Blaziken.>>58873108>You can make samurott work without making it bipedalYou literally can't unless you completely remove the sword theme for no reason.>>58873115All quadrupeds that era are quadruped because it fucking makes sense for it to be quadruped. They didn't take Smeargle and make it quadruped just because "hurr beagles are quadruped" because it makes no fucking sense to design a quadruped that has to constantly use a paint brush tail as a tool.
>>58873125>It doesn't.It does.>No, I grew up with designs that actually made sense like Blastoise and Blaziken.Sure you did.
>>58873055We already got samurott designed for the modern era and it looks nothing like the shitty furbait you posted
Otter samurai is already a dumb fucking concept, to say nothing of the end design.
>>58873103hi ywnbaw
>>58873080>yawnfag shitposting image being used to defend Samurottgrim
>>58873065
>>58873055I love Samurott but the design clearly has some flaws, even if you're against making it bipedal the body plan just doesn't work for a creature that's supposed to wield dual swords, and the fact that the swords are hidden is also a huge miss.As a kid I was super confused the first time I evolved my dewott because the Pokedex entries about Samurott mentioned it's proficiency with the sword but I just couldn't see it.
>>58873310Its never implied that it always dual-wields, Pokédex only references Iaido which makes more sense
>>58873372>Its never implied that it always dual-wieldsthen why does it have two swordswhy does the design contradict how it fightsthis is why the design is dogshit
>>58873378Its a Samurai thing, they carried two for social status not to dual-wield
>>58873527You know what samurai also did? Use their swords while not crawling on the floor like a retard. Why didn't the design reference that?
>>58873055That second one looks leagues and leagues better than whatever they thought the first one needed to be
>>58873552It’s almost like it’s a samurai MONSTER than a samurai human….
>>58873592It's almost like it's a samurai MONSTER than a retarded animal...
>"Den mother" inspired pokemon stated in interviewsSAMUROTT IS CANONICALLY FEMALE AND FOR SEXSEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSopping wet Wotter pussy
>>58873310>the fact that the swords are hidden is also a huge missOkay you lost me. I guess they should just have used scalchops instead of shellswords like the rest of the line then?
>>58873058I like 2002 Blaziken
>>58873125>unless you completely remove the sword theme for no reason.It already has a sword on its head having it carry swords in its hands is a completely redundant design choice.
>>58873055>themit, Nintendo already said that all pokemon are addressed as it, just like animals are.
>>58873969and then the anime used it to fight with three swords because why not
>>58874091>just like animals are.???? animals are default "him" unless you know the animal is a female. and even then using "him" is fine.
>>58873602thanks for admitting defeat
