Jesus fucking christAt this point let AI design everything, I'm pretty sure it'll do a better jobGen 7 had the last decent starters. And gens 1-5 were peak
>>58978906>And gens 1-5 were peakNot with samurott existing
>Not with samurott existing
>>58978932If you don't give a shit about the designs why are you even on this board?
>>58978906Better than SWSH and SV at least, which were the worst gens in terms of designs overall
i think its the new engine that's making them look so bad.
>Gen 7 had the last decent starters
>Gen 7>had the last decent starters
Winds and Waves look amazing and I like modetn Pokemon in general but these are the worst starters by a long shot. The 2nd and specially 3rd stages were terrible for gen 8 and 9 but the shittyness has now taken over even the previously untouchable 1st stage designs.
>Gen 7>had the>last>decent>startersThe bar keeps getting pushed further and further back as these zoomers get older and their nostalgia takes over. Back in 2010, it was a meme to shit on Oshawott.
>>58978906They look like first route mons than Starters
>>58979059>>58979070>>58979102You're just proving his point this way y'know
I have bad feeling about this gen1. designs look like shitworld copy2. it's yokai watch panic all over again
>>58978906You stupid faggots have been screaming "WAAAHHH IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A POKEMON" since gen 2, when are you retards gonna figure out that of fucking course it doesn't look like a pokemon because it's fucking new and your brain doesn't associate the two things yet
>>58979103Yeses saar I am in the agreeance
>>58979141anon, look at palshit designs and then look at these again, they did panic and throw us under a bus again like during gen 7
>>58979113The Pomeranian is better than most of the Alola starters, if not all of them. I don't care about the other two. Alola zoomers thinking they're better than anyone is a laugh, especially when they set some absolutely retarded line in the sand that "Alola was the last good Pokémon game" because they played it when they were 10, yet even Game Freak sees the Gen VI-VIII era as a dark age where they couldn't create good games.
>>58978906>Chinese mobileslop spyware Rowlet>orange Toby Fox>Temu Sobble And yet it's still better than KANTOOOOO. Curious....
>>58979141Most posters here are indians employed by THAT country to post demoralizing content on all forms of social media while being payed pennies at a time. It's understood that to attack western society that a great weapon of those enemies is aimed at art and cherished memories, they target childhood purity like Pokémon to poison and disuade the minds of vulnerable people.
>>58978906Notice how it's always the brown shilling AI.
>>58978947I think the designs are ok but I ignore designs I don't like because I'm an adult who doesn't get upset at children's toys
When was the last starter reveal that didnt have people calling them fakemon constantly?
>>58979193retard
>>58979233Gen 4 because it was the last one before /vp/
u just know the water type going to be some femboy ass shit tooso they all garbage again
>>58978906You lads do this shit every new game.You'll be wanking over these starters in 5yrs
>>58979293Yes, Indonesian
>>58979173What the fuck are you talking about you dumb gay retard? Panic over literally what? What fucking alternate universe are you living in where this response even makes an ounce of sense? Do you even know what throwing someone under the bus means? Because it's not whatever you seem to think it means.
>>58979298People still (rightfully) shit on the gen 8 starters.
>>58978906Nice try AI executive, I'm not using your latest slop model. I hope the bubble bursts and ruins your business.
>>58978906Shiny Ideas.
>>58978906the last decent starter trio was unironically gen 4. It's been that long. Every gen since 5 has had an obvious choice next to 2 complete shitters. Now with gen 10 it's all complete shitters.
>>58979233>>58979277I was here when /vp/ was made and the Gen V starters started as silhouettes that we got some good memes out of like Acornduck. The evolutions were highly debated, but we got Dewott and Servine early from anime settei, and nobody had issues with them, it was the final stages that were debatable (Emboar more because of its type). Even with Platinum, I remember the silhouettes for the new Rotom forms and thinking they were related to Pikachu.Gen IV's pre-launch period was really long. It technically started with Munchlax in the Deoxys movie around July 2004, and Masuda finally gave the names Diamond and Pearl on his blog around October 2004 after that conference for the DS. We didn't have many other Pokémon for a while though. In 2005, we got Rukario (Lucario), Manene (Mime Jr.), Bonsly (Usohachi), and Manyula (Weavile) from the Lucario movie, but I tuned out of Pokémon news for most of 2006, so I wasn't paying attention when they revealed the DP starters the month before DP actually came out. Even on 4chan at the time, Pokémon had its fans, but for a website where the majority of people were 18+ and they would have heard about Pokémon 8 years prior at the earliest, there wasn't a large adult fanbase for it, just some dedicated threads. A one month heads-up really wouldn't have given much time for there to be a negative reaction.Gen II and III were similar with their starters where they were reveals close to the release date (Spaceworld oddness excluded).Gen VI onward have all followed a fairly similar format where the games and the starters are revealed at the same time around the world for a worldwide release later that year, XY just happened to be in January instead of February. But I don't remember anyone having issues with the Kalos starters until Delphox, and Popplio, Primarina, and Incineroar were also questioned for Gen VII.
>>58978906>At this point let AI design everythingwho said they didn't
>>58978906The water one looks like a gay neopet. The other two at least adhere to nupokemon design philosophy.
in the leaks they mentioned ai generated islands, so they clearly asked ai to make concept designs
>>58978932rude autist
>>58978906AngrybirbsSanrioPalworld
>>58978911>Not with Samur....ACK!Time to admit defeat
Does people here seriously like the new starter? The design feel lackluster, especially the dog and bird. The water look great though. I guess it way too simple? Like it lack details compared to like sprigatito and rowlet. It look like palworld design than pokemon.
>>58980371You're the autist if you're seething over change, retard>r-rude ;_;Kill yourself if you can't handle words on a screen
>>58980442>no ugo to bed newfag
>>58978906I know this is ragebait and you're a joyless faggot edgelord who refuses to like anything that was created post 2005, but I'm gonna tell you why you're wrong:>simple designs with recognizable silhoettes are just better/more iconic, especially for starters. if you want a more complex design play digimon>all 3 starters have personalities you can infer from their designs. browt is overly serious, gecqua is "cool" and a little smug, and the pomeranian is a hapless moron who means well>they're all cute. as they should be.anyway fuck off and let the rest of us be hype
>THE NEW POKEMON DESIGNS ARE BAD??!!Just get used to them jesus christ. This franchise became “nu” in 2013 pokemon just look like this now. Get over your knee jerk reactions and give it time. These guys can be fun buddies. They also have one color making up the majority of the design which is like the old designs
>>58978906lmaoa Dog in a Muslim country
>>58978906>Rowlet, Toby-Fennekin, and Soble (of all things) againKind of disapointing.
>>58978906The Dog is giving me Pawmi vibe when he got releasethe small beady eyes is iritiating
>>58980512don't jynx it
one of these pokemon will have their final evolve forms in smash brothers.
i honestly really like the chud bird and think pokemon fell off a cliff after gen 3-4
>>58978906can you explain why it's bad ?
>rowlet 2.0>sobble 2.0>dachsbun but fire typebravo gf you really outdid yourselves this time
>>58980713>anon learns about animalsImagine if they did a Pidgey in every gen, wouldn't that be crazy?!
>>58980361>Zoomers think procgen is AIit's over
>>58978906>And gens 1-5 were peak
>>58980774Procedural generation is literally no different from ChatGPT.
>>58980797>Badass samurai sealThanks for proving OP right
>>58978906dont you people ever get tired of saying the same exact shit every 3 years? we've literally been having this conversation since like 1999. they look fine, grow up.
When are we getting their evolutions
>>58980895>grow up.This. You're supposed to stop giving a shit about Pokemon after the age of 14. Let today's kids enjoy current Pokemon. Wallow in nostalgia if you must.
>>58980895>fineHaha, you talk like fag
>>58979059>>58979070Yes, Incineroar and Primarina are among the GOATs. Shame about Shitcidueye, though.
>>58979233People were generally ok with Gen 6 until Braixen which was like 9/11 and a harbinger of bad designs to come, everyone here thought Greninja was fake when it leaked too
>fire dog>grass bird>water lizardJesus christ they didn't even try. Not even a glimmer of an original thought in any of them
>>58980946This is correct but is that CHARIZARD
>>58981204>but is that CHARIZARDYes. Game Freak knows their audience when it comes to KANTOOOOOO!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qllf6-N3DI
>>58981167we've literally never had a dog starter before dumbass
>>58980595It’s going to be the dog 100%
>>58981909But we have had multiple fire dogs
>>58979998I like it
>>58978906WORST GAME INCOMINGGET OUT OF THE WAY GEN 5GEN 10 COMING THROUGHId thought id never see the day.
