What caused regional forms to not catch on with fans before dying out unlike mega evolutions?
>>59140056regionals are just different pokemon. your favorite linoone from hoenn won't turn into obstagoon
>before dying out????
Regional forms are still alive after 3 gens along with crossgen evolutions
>>59140056That mega hypno is so fucking ugly just more shit slapped onto the original hypno
>>59140056Oy trainer! Do you have a loincense for owning an Izzrelian Hypno? If you down have a loincense, you'll be accused of being a Hypnophobe!
>>59140065Gen 9 only had 2 regional forms all while introducing 40 new megas. Its clear that they’re killing off that gimmick in favour of paradox and convergent pokemon
>>59140067>she think regional evo are real cross gen evo lol
>>59140120I said both regional and crossgen exist today , while mega only returns in spin off.
>>59140118>paradox and convergent pokemonThat's like saying Ultra Beasts killed off Megas. There weren't even that many Convergent mons in IX, they ran out of ideas fast and the last one they came up with was just a mascot to replace a Turner shitmon
>>59140118Convergents are just regionals without having to make the species actually related
>>59140118And if you'd paid the slightest bit of attention to recent Game Freak developments, you'd know they blatantly teased a new fucking Shellos form in pokopia, you paint-eating moronic excuse for a human. They made new megas as that was the gimmick of Kalos, so a revisit after the root cause of their appearance in the first fucking place ensured new megas (plus they wanted to delete arsepull from their series and figured the best way to replace a not!mega was by putting an actual mega in its place) but that doesn't mean regionals are dead. Just means Kalos didn't change enough from 5 years from its last appearance to cause a drastic fundamental shift in pokémon biology such things as regionals arise from.
>>59140118Paradoxes are just another kind of regional form if you think about it.
>>59140126>That's like saying Ultra Beasts killed off Megasnot really. UB’s have nothing to do with mega. Meanwhile paradox mons are virtually the exact same concept as regional form (a replacement for an old mon with better stats, type and abilities that make the old ones obsolete shitmons.)
>>59140064which is a good thing
>>59140127>>59140135they’re actually better than regional replacements because they don’t trigger the specie clause. yet another reason why GF gave up on that cuck gimmick
>>59140118Convergents are barely a thing, and they aren't even an oficial category.regionals have yet to be absent for a gen, unlike mega evos.
>>59140056They should not share a page in wikis!A Pokémon with different:AppearanceTypingMovesetStatsLocationsEvolution linesEvolution methodAbilitiesHeight and weightEv yieldShouldn’t share the same entry just because the retards over at Pokemon decided they should have the same dex #!It’s a pain to dig through mountains of irrelevant information from a completely different pokemon to find the info I need.
>>59140192>slowbro can mega evolve>G-slowbro can’t>raichu can mega evolve>A-raichu can’t>scizor can mega evolve>kleavor can’t >meowth can gmax>G-meowth can’twhat make regional forms and evolutions so much weaker lorewise than their base forms?
>>59140259idk why not just make Mega forms for the regional viarants. Z-A established that different forms can have separate Megas.
>>59140259Kleavor's a cross-gen evolution retard.>"buh-buh-buh"Yeah. And Black Augerite evolves it in Kalos, just over the border. They didn't let cunts evo it in SV, as they wanted to make sure you paid or participated in the great pokémon human interaction pool to get one.
>>59140352>can only evolve in non-canon legends regions>i-its totally a real cross gen evolution goys I swearcome back when it evolves in a real pokemon game.
>>59140352>yeah bro, the darkrai dream dimension where extinct pokemons like the fossils and the hisuian forms can spawn in the wild is totally kalos trust me
>>59140056Honestly that would be a pretty dope Mega Hypno
>>59140118You sound retarded. Paradox are done.
I don’t like overqwil and H-qwilfish is okay but regular qwilfish is my favorite
>>59140441>I don’t like objectively better non, I like the original whortless shitmon moretypical jothoid
>>59140441the correct opinion but shiny hisuian qwilfish is the best of the lot
>>59140365>i'm poor: the postNot my fault.>>59140422Yeah pseudos couldn't spawn in the wild, until rehashes allowed them to and they then got added to base normal gameplay. It's like you ignore they've been doing this shit 30 years and justifying getting people to buy it all the while.
>>59140494>Yeah pseudos couldn't spawn in the wild?Dratini was always catchable in the rby safari zone retard. how new to the franchise are you?
>>59140509Where can I catch a dragonite in Gen 1 m8? Dratini is wild, but it's not one of the "powerhouse" pokémon, even if it evolves into one.
>>59140056>regioanals: replace a Pokémon >megas: promote a Pokemon to shillmon and more often than not give it substantial buffsThat’s why
>>59140694>regional>get a cool new flavour of my bro to pair alongside it>mega>directly changes my bro into an ugly temporary formayup regionals win again
>>59140056Mega Evolutions will be dead next Gen and we'll go back to Regional forms
>>59140056megas suck
>>59140635dratini can evolve into dragonite in all game its in.how do I evolve scyther into kleavor in sv?
>>59140710>get a cool new flavour of my bro to pair alongside ityou never heard of the specie clause have you anon.
>>59140635By levelling it?Have you forgotten how to play Pokémon?That's how most evolutions work.
>>59140784Who fucking cares about the species clause man?You think somebody's running both Ninetales on the same team in VGC? Two Sandslash? How about running both Mega Charizard X and Y oh wait you can't it's the same species and you can only have one mega ha ha!Legitimately one of the dumbest things I've read in a long while
>>59140790He’s a compshitter anon. Do you really expect him to have actually played the game
>>59140782Didn't ask that. In fact I even fucking pointed out that fact. You move to Kalos and find a stone for it, like L: Z-A showed you, you dense little cunt.
>>59140794>Who fucking cares about the species clause man?people who got their favourite mon regionally replaced instead of getting a mega.
>>59140819I've gotten regional variants and megas for my favourites.I prefer the regionals and would rather get a regional every time if presented the choice.
>>59140790Didn't ask that dickhead, I asked where I could catch Dragonite in Gen 1, like the disingenuous cunt who replied to me initially inferred.>>59140811Nah. I buy and play the games. Unlike you fucks who buy the games and think they should cater to your retarded arses despite them already telling spastic fuckers their wants were irrelevant going into Gen 8 and #BBND spawning.
>>59140831>reposting someone else collection againvery cute Kujo
>>59140826>why yes, I want my favourite pokemon to be replaced by a nugen recolorcuck mentality.
>>59140843Still exists. Still usable. Still my favourite.Not replaced by any means.
duuude you dont get it if ur mon doesnt get a shitty terribly designed mega that barely boosts its strength if not outright makes it worse because you give up an item slot for it while never ever being a viable pick because you'd rather use another far better mega like salamence then it sucks!
>>59140873better than getting replaced like tupedo did
>>59140835Sorry shithead, gonna need to start taking your tablets again there. I ain't your boogyman bitch.
>>59140882sharpedo? no that's exactly what happened to it actually
>>59140884Show your hand holding a timestamp faggot
>>59140911He won’t, kujo is very secretive about the fact he’s both obese and brown.
>>59140911There, happy?>>59140915Still never going to be your boogyman, you mentally devoid spastic retard.
>>59140118I remember GameFreak having a development rule of only bringing back mechanics if they can add something new to it. In Gen 8 regional forms could evolve into their own different Pokémon (Obstagoon, Mr. Rime, Perrserker...) and I guess Gen 9 had different forms for the Paldean Tauros?
>>59140994Jesus what's that in your knuckle
>>59140994>literal Neanderthal No wonder he get so offended at the concept of canonically extinct pokemon
>>59141052Badly burned it on a grill element a couple weeks ago and it hasn't healed yet.
>>59141172I had that happen to me on an oven. I just have a flesh bump there now.
>Regional variant Always will be transferable whenever the regular one is in the game>Mega evolution Stuck in ZA or champions compfaggotry so said shitmon will always be a shitmon without the mega crutch.
>>59141337> Always will be transferable whenever the regular one is in the gamehow do I use Galatian rapidash in Pla anon?
>>59141337truth nuke. I love using regular sammurott in pla
>>59140131>They made new megas because mounting pressures from the TCG and Pokemon Go teams made TCPi put LameFreak in their placeftfy
>>59141695I remember hearing even tcg players hated the tera hats. Do you have any more information?
>>59141708This is the only tera card I've seen where the entire tera hat is visible. Artists always crop 80% of it out with the card borders.Also the gemstone skin texture makes holos look like hot ass.
If Regional forms don't add new evolutions, I don't want them. They're just edited designs of older Pokemon. That's lazier than rehashing Pikachu seven times.
>>59141807>its ok when unova does it tho
