Post failed shillmons
>>59006907op is gay, anyway, let's talk about my wife
the absolute king of failed shillmons
>>59006948ugliest shitmon in gen 9
>>59006939I don't even remember them attempting to shill this thing. I can't even recall when I first learned about its existence.
>CinderFLOP
>>59006955When Gamefreak distributed its shiny version in SwSh as a gift, it was the only instance EVER of a shiny pokemon outnumbering its normal variant because not many people had regular Zeraora in Gen 7. That’s how much of a failure it is, and they wasted a mega slot on it in Z-A,
>flops so hard that it kills pokemon movies forever
>>59006944>anon doesn't know the difference between a gimmickmon and a shillmon
>>59007015this proves my point, he was such a failed shillmon that you forget he even was one. but he was. he was in the gen 2 anime, in games before rse even came out, all over rse's advertising etc
>>59007017>but he was. he was in the gen 2 anime, in games before rse even came outYou could say the same about Munchlax, and only a retard would pretend Munchlax was a shillmon.
>>59007022munchlax WAS a shillmon wtf? what the fuck is your definition of shillmon? munchlax got hella merch before gen 4 was even out
>>59006907zoroark wouldn't have failed if you could ever fucking use it. it's the coolest thing ever and you barely ever get to do anything with it in it's own game
>>59006978this is the only Pokemon I'm missing, all those fucking distros didn't hit my country
>>59006907Genuinely what the fuck were they thinking with locking Zorua and Zoroark behind an event? Lucario worked because you got a Riolu for free.
>>59006939It’s very popular in Japan and a total dud in the west. It’s interesting to see the difference in tastes.
>>59006907Zoroark didn't fail because it was unpopular, it failed because GF actively sabotaged it at every turn
>>59007094Still a failure nonetheless.
>>59006978unfortunate because the movie was actually really good
>>59007094>locked behind some retarded event>wasn't even a legendary or mythicalDare I say this wasn't even the most retarded thing Game Freak has done?
>>59006948>>59006952
>>59007276All they had to do was make it a giftmon in BW.
>>59007048>>59007094>>59007276>>59007317They made up for it in BW2 at least, but the damage was already done.And you couldn't even nickname the thing because it belonged to N originally.
>failed
>>59007383being goonbait for furry perverts isn't a success
>>59007017I wouldn't really consider that shillmon material though. With what we know from the Teraleak, those pokemon that would get teased a generation early were typically just the designs that got finalized earliest on and not necessarily a reflection of how they want to market the game or the franchise at large. Beyond RS's prerelease promotional material it never really was focused on with only a couple appearances in spin offs as the merchants in mystery dungeon and a bonus stage in Pinball RS. By the logic that Kecleon was a "failed shillmon" then you could also say Wailmer, Azurill, Duskull, and Wynaut.
>>59006939i refuse to believe this is a real pokemon
>>59007383>>59007388Its the only metric of success, actually.If someone says "I wanna make an OC of that pokemon" it is a good design.
Imagine failing as a shillmon lmao
>>59006929he looks so cool
Failed so bad no one even posted them yet.
>>59006907Picrel used to be placed in random adverts in the west during Pokemania but gaijin didn’t understand why they were supposed to care about it and it never took off like it did in Japan
>>59008478forgot the pic of course
>>59006959Cinderace was successful in Japan because kids love soccer that much
I don't think anyone gives a fuck about Celebi
Did anyone even liked this thing?
>>59008759I don't even know what it is and I hate it
>>59008759the older I get the more I realize gamefreak has singlehandedly contribute to the TranFreak furfag aesthetic
>>59008774It’s the “hidden treasure” briar was creaming her panties over. It also cucks Kieran then almost kills him. Oh and that small form you see is fucking pointless because it instantly transform into this whenever it sent other >>59008784Makes it easier for Game Freak to groom little kids to be sex slaves for israelis
>>59006929Maybe it’s the sleep deprivation talking, but I just want to lay on top of him and give him a big hug
>>59008784Gonna cry about it? feralcuck
>>59008797>feralcuckfucking kek>>59008791>Makes it easier for Game Freak to groom little kids to be sex slaves for israelisAnime too. They squeeze programming into every big show aimed at american audiences
>>59008784The current state of anime in general for like over a decade is why everything looks like shit. Pokemon used to look cool, not fucking motorcycle Pokemon
>>59008805shut up and say you love the Simon-type turtle anon
>>59008490literally a nepo baby
>>59006939So what was the deal with this thing, anyway? Has it ever actually been relevant to anything story or lore-wise in the games, or did they just release it and hope people would like it because it's a furry? I played Moon and vaguely remember it coming out, but don't remember actually seeing it in the game
>>59006907>appears in Pikachu's vacation>one of Tracy's pokemon>no one can catch the little shit in GS because it's a swarm pokemonAmazing how Game Freak made the exact same mistake with shillmons twice.Blaziken and Lucario worked so well because you could easily obtain them.
>>59008846forgot picThere's a reason why it's so common in RSE
>>59007563Oh ok so Godfather failed because theres no porn of it?
>>59006929Decidueye wasn't the shillmon, they always intended to shill incineroar and were surprised that it was even close, let alone that rowlet/decidueye was more popular. That's why they shoved him in pokken, since they were going to abandon it anyway.
>>59006907>obligatory
>>59008930>as he continues to get shilled going into Gen 10
This thread is fucking retarded and obviously doesn't know what a fucking failed shillmon looks like, so here
>>59008955So many left behind cats
>>59008442Because Game Freak made them shit to "subvert" expectations.
>>59008791>It also cucks KieranBased
>>59008442Where did the lycanrocfag go that used to post here
>>59008866Godfather fucking sucks and its cultural relevance is confined to a family guy clip and a youtube video of the part where the protag kills off like 20 mafiosos in a single day
>>59008874Cope harder. Decidushit got Pokken and a Hisuian form, Primarina got fucking nothing despite being objectively superior and universally loved. Shitcidueye was a failed, flopped attempt at doing Greninja again.
>>59006907
>>59008490This is the opposite, he stood toe to toe with the pikas and still sold merch
>>59009816Owl is still well loved despite given shitty treatment in game. And your comprehension is bad, the previous anon wasn't even supporting decidueye
>>59008955good, fuck this cereal mascot shitter
>>59010587>Water Starters hit the ground running with goated pokemon from day 1, then immdeatly crash into a brick wall the moment Dewott evovlesWhy are we here?Just to suffer?
>>59008955this might be the only REAL failed shillmon in this entire thread good lord, reminds me of pic related
>>59010587Mudkip DOMINANCE
>>59007572That’s the cutest thing ever! “Shillmon” me up!
>>59007572Not even a week and this thing has exploded on the internet. They didn't even try to shill, they showed it for ten seconds
>>59008955Fun Fact: In the Smash Ultimate Figure Player metagame, Incineroar is the strongest non-DLC character and is banned (although upon checking again Mii Gunner is also banned but the Miis are weirdos in general). This doesn't mean anything because said group is incredibly small, but it's really funny that the only group who would be willing to buy it has no real reason to.
>>59006907>mono darkShould've been dark/ghost
>>59008952its funny how every time someone says Cinderace a failed shillmon he gets a new promotion or toy line, people are going to be calling him a failed shillmon all the way into Gen 20 at this point
>>59008759This thing looks fine in its battle form, but this? This is one of the worst fucking designs I've ever laid my eyes upon in this franchise. I hate it
>>59008759I dont care for the base forms but the tera form is cool
>>59010673>Not even listed as bottom 3 >Seethes over Samuchad out of nowhere Time to admit defeat
>>59008805>he doesn't think this looks cool as fuckShut up retard
>>59006907Wonder if there's even enough oldfags left to understand.
