>Ice/Dragon>Instead of just being my mom’s dinosaur but with ice, what everyone expected was something based on a radiator/thermal reactor>Since Godzilla is basically a nuclear plant, they combined both ideas perfectly.This is why Game Freak mogs everyone else at character designing
>>59048615This shit is so ass
>>59048615>muh conceptIts still looks like shit
>>59048636>Its still
>>59048640Mb meant to type its still a terrible design and changed my mind half way
>>59048615Besides it's ability which is purely gameplay related, how is its design based on a radiator at all?
>>59048675it's blatantly obvious
>>59048615The design doesn't reflect it being a thermal sink at all and needed the name of its ability to spell out the mon's concept to you. Failed design. Jin dahaad did it better
You now remember that this thing exists.
>>59048615Mid design. At least it’s not Goodra.
>>59048615If you have to justify a design by bringing up the concept behind it, it's a bad design. Execution is all that matters. If you don't think something looks good upon seeing it, it is shit.
>>59048675it got a big crest thing on its back and usually reptiles use those to convert heat or something idk
>>59048615>ESL>muh conceptif the design doesn't convey its concept on its own, it's bad "character designing" [sic], not good character design.
>>59048615Jin Dahaad from Monster Hunter Wilds sells the Ice/Dragon concept a lot better
>>59048700It should've been dragon/poison.
>>59048700I like Goodra, it's my favorite Pseudo legendary alongside it's Hisuian form
>>59048615He’s too on the nose. Like yes he’s amazing but he’s also bit basic
>>59048615Hahahaha look at that fucking piece of shit design
>>59048636>>59048675>>59048758>>59048765>If the concept isn’t explicit I’m not going to get the reference.The state of this board lmao.
>>59048615You think they’ll change Thermal Exchange to grant immunity to Fire-type moves like the other absorb-type abilities?
>>59048905>y-you just didn't get it!!
>>59048813But what’s the difference between something that conveys its concept poorly and someone who wouldn’t get the concept anyway?
>>59048978You are now asking what the difference between a character design and a person is. Learn proper English retard.
>>59048978>>59048993There’s no difference between the two beyond autistic semantics. The design fails to communicate its design effectively regardless
>>59048978>>59049010The only way someone couldn't get a well-conveyed concept is if that someone was a drooling retard; the type of person that thinks a sloth is a monkey, a turtle is an amphibian, or thought the false eyes on cradily were its real ones. That someone in question is little more than an animal. With a well-conveyed concept, anyone with the bare minimum mental faculties to be considered will understand it. With a poorly-conveyed concept, you need outside information to understand it, like with baxcalibur above. Nothing about its visual design suggests any sort of heat transfer or nuclear energy analogue. It has to be expressly told to you, whether that's its pokedex entry, ability, or someone talking about it. If a design has extra nuances conveyed through those things it's fine, nothing wrong with talking about how weezing will occasionally have a third head or how garchomp can fly, or whatever. The problem is relying on that extra information to convey the idea. If you had some default object like a solid white sphere and said "dude no not only is it a pearl but it's also based on crystal balls see here this pokedex entry says it's used by mystics when it's big enough and used as jewelry when it's young!!" then it would be a poorly-conveyed design. But if you showed images on it when it was large or had a string come out of it, or SOMETHING, it would be a more well-conveyed design because it's actually showing you what it's based on. (And before you say it, NO, well-conveyed and good are not coincident; there is overlap but this dumb example isn't a good or bad design, just one that is either well-conveyed or poorly-conveyed.)
>>59048675Yawnfag doesn’t want to admit he only likes Incineroar’s design because he jerks off to buff furry men, so he started making shit up about Incineroar having a le concept (as if every other Pokemon doesn’t have a concept) and having le references. He also made fun of fan made Litten evolution designs by saying they’re all edgy and uninspired, even when they clearly weren’t either and had concepts/references too.Now that Yawnfag did that, he now has to go and defend every goofy ugly design in the series with some made up bullshit that’s not even on the Bulbapedia Trivia section, and additionally bashes every beloved design.
>>59049062Damn, I didn’t know that Yawnfag is such a contrarian that he even defends dogshit designs like Samurott. Thanks for the heads up anon.
>>59049095incoherent cope as always
>>59049095He likes Samurott too? Christ he’s more mentally ill than I thought
>>59049106imagine thinking anyone will fall for this lol
>>59049095Wow I haven’t even seen conceptfags commonly defend Samurott. He’s that much of a schizo, huh?
>>59049126pretty sure that’s just yawnfag being facetious
>>59049140Nah I’ve definitely seen Yawnfag defend goofy designs like Samurott before
>>59049144Yawnfag doesn’t defend anything from Unova.
>>59049144yep like Rillaboom now that's goofy
>>59048615I hate it
>>59049164Rillaboom is too anatomically accurate to actual gorillas for yawnfag. He needs them to have noodle arms and bean mouth like Gholdengo
>>59048615So what youre saying is Baxcaliturd is just a worse Jin Dahaad
>>59048615>too on the nose with the godzilla design>weird mixture of organic and geometric designs>signature move is stupid even if its a reference>underwhelming design>secondary claws look terrible>looks like its 1/4 through a "un-pokemon-ing, your pokemon" memeit honestly couldn't be much worse
>>59048615>make it a spinosaurus monster with ice, literally just an ice dragon>get this crapthey made something worse than goodra but even goodra looks finished
>>59049211I never understood why people thought Goodra was a bad design its basic and less on the cool side but it doesn't have an ugly color scheme or nonsensical anatomy
>>59049217garbage site thinks im spamming
>>59049217A lot of it comes down to it deviating too much from Goomy and Sliggoo. It doesn’t really have the same type of appeal.
>>59048700Goodra is cool though
>>59049366If it was so cool, it would have gotten a mega instead of being regionally replaced
>>59048615it has a really bad designit;s like they forgot to design a cool dragon mon and instead went reference first, then actual appeal second
>>59049507This. Where are the pointless spikes? And digitigrade legs? And black sclera? It doesn’t appeal at all to a zoomer like me.
>>59049518So true sister! Also remember to dilate, you missed your last appointment <3
>>59048615>This is why Game Freak mogs everyone else at character designingWell, you know, except for the actual “designing” part
>>59048615I couldnt stand having this thing on my team. It was so ugly and that signature move is so ass. Always to the PC it goes.
>>59049518yawnie having an unprompted autistic hatred towards shit that's completely irrelevant for everyone but him like with digitigrade legs will never not be funny
>>59049712>towards shit that's completely irrelevant for everyone but him like with digitigrade legsIts because digitigrade legs are super common in gen 4 and 5 designs and he specifically hates the DS era games
Baxcalibur won.
>>59050103Lucario and Garchomp are two of the most popular Pokemon ever and they’re both digitigrade. What an autistic fixation
>>59048615>have to mega evolve it to fix it's half-baked design
>>59048615It's just a therapod but fat and not strong looking
>>59050213>half-bakedthe sword comes from the amerimutt localization
>>59048615Don't forget>it's the pseudo of Spain so it's based on a dinosaur discovered there>the dinosaur's spine had a thermal regulation function>which combines with the nuclear plant idea perfectly
>>59048615Too bad it's still ugly as sin
>>59050231??? It's literally named Glaive in japanese
>>59051093not only is this>muh conceptbut it's also not even true. Concavenator's spine was tiny and would have been useless for thermoregulation.
