Were they kino? Maybe some of their names were really akward, but their designs and gimmick allowed some really coolmons. One of the few good things from SV, hopefully it would make a comeback.
>>59316172Slither Wing and Roaring Moon are two of my favorite pokemon of all time now.
>>59316172>Were they kino?Fuck no. They're a shittier version of regional formes which was already just a shitty excuse to not have to design new mons, on top of being an evident excuse to bring out the power creep shotgun and blast at random.Paradox Pokemon are the bottom of the barrel. Worst mons of all time, the lot of them.
>>59316172maybe 2 outta 20 arnt shit ultra beasts mog
>>59316172Paradoxies were a mistake. The worst part is that fan designs for them mog them so hard. Like that one that fused all the galar fossils together into a chimera.
>>59316172they're fine, would have been great if they took more than few minutes to design the future ones.
>>59316172>Lets turn Pokemon into robots!Lazy trash
>>59316172A past form would be more appropriate, such as Beast trio
>>59316172>but their designs and gimmick allowed some really coolmons.Such aspokémon but robotpokémon but robotpokémon but robotpokémon but robot

I know it sounds like a rather "paradoxical" complaint what I'm about to say, but I think they made to many paradox pokémon. Yeah I'm complaining about there being too much content for once.I think that if they kept their mouth shout about them, and only made like 3 per version, and treated them like Blood Moon Ursaluna, which isn't an actual legendary pokémon but is still a one off, they would have been much more memorable and subject to a lot of speculation. If you play SV blind and somehow didn't get paradox pokémon spoiled, the desert titan must be a very cool moment that makes you go what the fuck is that.
>>59316752Yes and it works. If their animations weren't lazy, such as Iron Thorns. /vp/ would appreciate them. Iron Jugulis is the only crappy one imo.
>>59316172Past pokémon are much better because they put a little more effort into thinking what an ancient ancestor may look like, the best example being Slither Wing looking like a missing link between Larvesta and VolcaronaI wish they did the same for future pokémon, instead of making them all robots some could have looked like aliens, borrowing some design philosophy from deoxys, or they could have gone crazier and make some look like UBs even
The future ones outside of Iron Valiant are really boring. They're just the same design but robotic and futuristic, idk it doesn't do it for me. A lot of the past designs are also kinda lame but they're generally a little more creative. Big fan of Sandy Shocks and Slither Wings tho
>>59316172the robot designs were too bland
>>59316172>paradox>kino
>>59316762It boils down to this.Ancient paradoxes are like fossilmons, or an extension of the Yanmega/Mamoswine needing to learn Ancient Power and becoming like their ancient selves.They might not be part of the evolution tree for real, but I still like the designs.Now the futuremons are whatever, it was never so easy to decide which version to play.
I might've liked them a bit more if they had proper names instead of this codename shit
>>59317777wasted
>>59317777Checked and fair enough.
simple as
>>59317777checked and trvthnvked
>>59317777When I saw the anime, I thought scream tail was called "onipuri," being like demon-jigglypuff, but that was just a nickname not an actual jp name. Very dissapointing.
>>59316172Names suck, designs suck, whole concept just sucks.>let's make Chinese knock offs and call them new Pokemon
>>59316172no they were more poorly executed ultra beasts who had the excuse of being aliens like deoxys.
>>59316172All the paradox versions with VERY few exceptions are utter fucking trash, I don't think there's a more soulless, lifeless, uninspired and retroactively shitting on the franchise' beloved designs more than this.The names of these things are just as dogshit as their designs.
Surprised there's so much negativity around them, but then again I didn't participate in the SV "hype train" and discourse which probably didn't poison my perspective.I really like the ancient Donphan, Amoongus and Volcarona.
I like them conceptually but they were handled really poorly plotwise and have very muddled lore that makes them hard to appreciate past "woah, cool dinosaur!"Walking Wake is sick, especially how it can run on water, I really like it.
They were absolute gigakino. Roaring fucking Moon? Chills.
>>59317988the negativity is primarily aimed at their core concept and some questionable designs rather than some specific ones. Most people at least tolerate those three. The problem has always been making them all a new dumb gimmick unrelated to anything. Donphan's paradoxies should have been evos or megas, the volcarona paradoxies could have easily been megas or split evos, scream tail should have been reworked as mega wigglytuff or something, flutter mane as an alt misdreavus evo or mismagius evo, jugulis should have been a regional form alongside some of the other paradoxies, on and on.
I find it annoying that these Pokemon are 'fictional' in the canon of the world. Pokemon was always good at adding an environmental niche or biological quirk for each of its creatures thanks to the Pokedex, but paradox Pokemon's entries are all the same.
>>59318481the idea of monsters coming from fiction into reality should have been reserved for pokestar studio monsters...in fact these gimmick mons like paradoxies and ubs should have been exclusive to legends-style games too, alongside those pokestar studios mons in a legends unova
>>59316172I liked the idea, but I find their execution to have missed potential.All Past Paradox Pokemon should have been based on pre-evolutions. Like Scream Tail, etc.All Future Paradox Pokemon should have been fusions of two related Pokemon. Like Iron Valiant
>>59318481They arent fictional. They were believed to be fiction but they're real. Imagination theory has been thoroughly debunked and never made any sense.
>>59317803terrible
>>59318481I thought it was just like a mewtwo diaries in cinnabar situation where you can read about him in vague papers, but surprise he was actually real all along
