You can dislike anthro starters but that is entirely subjective and the way they are talked about it's as if they are an objectively wrong way to design Pokemon. Years back, everyone would dogpile on object mons and say they can't be Pokemon, did everyone just get tired of complaining about them or something?

I don't understand why people keep bringing Blaziken as an example when it was one of the very few humanoid starters from the earlier gens. The main complaint is that nu GF is obsessed with making 99% of modern starters be cereal mascots.
>>59342763
Lost what? You never made any compelling arguments for why these kinds of designs aren't shit or overused.
>>
>>59343840
Yeah, the point is blaziken was the acid test to Game Freak as to if kids would accept more humanoid starters, rather than the flat out animalmons they were making. And shockingly and strangely, kids accepted them, leading Game Freak to make more, leading to more kids to accept them (you faggots squealing about "characters" ignore every Infernape's supposed to be the Monkey King), leading to today where if they want the things to land, they make them bipedal (the fact Primarina got NO shilling in Gen 7 beyond being a side-piece's ace in the anime, yet it still ended up far-and-away more popular than the tiger and owl was a shocker to Game Freak. they didn't think a legless waifumon would land, given they ignored Delphox in Gen 6). To the point they made a custom-tooled, weaponised waifumon shillmon starter for Gen 9, just like they're going to weaponise Pombon and fast-track its evolution's application to the shonen superhero shillmon squad. Because they know the vast majority of the world are the buying audience that counts, so pitch at them, rather than the low IQ LCD manchildren.
>>
>>59342756
He's just a same guy who wants to ragebait.

Otherwise, the problem isn't having bipedal Pokémon. Sceptile, Typhlosion, and Blastoise are bipedal, and yet they're a far cry from the ugly, furry-looking creatures like Quaquaval or Cinderace. The problem is rather having an abundance of jobmon that clearly lack subtlety in their design.
Now, I'm not saying that Jobmon are necessarily bad or uninteresting. There are some successful ones like Decidueye or Greninja. What's troubling is that in recent generations, all three starters end up as Jobmon, whereas the whole point of having three different starters is to provide variety and appeal to a wider audience. If only one of the three starters were Jobmon each time, it would be acceptable, rather than forcing this trait absurdly across all three to the point where it becomes irrelevant. Litten's evolutionary line wasn't heading in this direction, until they decided to make the final stage a wrestler, even though nothing, not even in Torracat, suggested it.
>>
>>59343895
>There are some successful ones like Decidueye
Ahh yes. So successful in fact, it got a repaint with all the other wildly successful pokémon like raichu and my mom's fire doggy. Funny how Greninja didn't get one, despite it being so successful too..
>>
>>59343895
And Torracat's body markings ape the singlets worn by amateur wrestlers. That the real world amateur wrestler divisions were breeding grounds for pro wrestlers back when everyone thought works were shoots (and critically, when the staffers at Game Freak back in 2013 were kids growing up in the 60's, 70's and 80's) just shows their workings as to why the line makes actual sense. Zoomiods not understanding eras that pre-date them do not equate to them fundamentally changing the design brief mid-way. That would result in a whole line reset, like killing the fire bear for Cyndaquil line was in Gen 2.

It's just a monkey and with elements taken from an old tale, retard. Same with how Empoleon is just a penguin with trait taken from Napoleon. It's not the same as Cinderace or the duck which literally look like a soccer player and a dancer dressed in fursuits.

No, because Meowscarada has wide hips, making it look more like a woman in a cat suit. Quaquaval's legs are not digitigrade.

You're overinterpreting too much to try and make sense of it, when evolving into a wrestler is just too forced and came out of nowhere. I wouldn't want Cyndaquil and Quilava to be able to develop into wrestlers, just to fit into some kind of specifications.

Why are you arguing about this?
It doesn't matter that an ape has humanoid features. It's close to humans, so there will always be similarities.

Even "counter-examples" like Blaziken are irrelevant because Swampert and Sceptile take a different direction, and Blaziken remains fairly subtle.
In Gen 8 or 9, all three are humans disguised as animals with very little subtlety; it's so obvious and crude.

Two legs aren't the problem, it's how humanoid the bodies are becoming. How they stand up straight and use their arms like people do. How they sit like people do.
They can walk on two legs all they like, but they need to knock it off with the fursuit look.

The problem goes beyond that. We have a lizard in a secret agent suit, a rabbit with a football kit, the gorilla would be fine if it didn't have a big wooden drum kit and its little sticks, Skeledirge is in a suit and his flames look like hair, Quaquaval is in trousers, Meowcarada has a magician's mask, accessories...

No retard, plantigrades walk on their metatarsal bones, and partially on their toes and heels. You know, like humans.
Quaquaval is a digitigrade, like a chicken for example. All its weight is on the toes, not on the soles.
>>
>>59344040
I think Mewscarada is subtle enough (I know I'm digging myself a grave for defending its design), it's stuff like Cinderace that crosses the line, jobmons is the worst design philosophy numons have and I hope they get tired of that soon

You're going a bit off-topic. We're talking about the fact that the three starters consistently end up with this kind of design. Alakazam and Conkeldurr remain exceptions and are clearly secondary Pokémon.
And even then, I think Alakazam looks good. Unlike Rillaboom and its big drum that ruins its mobility and design.

>>59344108
Personally, I like Meowscarada. But the fact that Skeledirge and Quaquaval are also going in this direction with Jobmon bothers me. Because no matter which choice you make, you end up with a rather unsubtle Jobmon.
That's why Gen 3 was cool; you have a single "jobmon" that's quite subtle, and then you have Sceptile and Swampert who take a different direction. So if you like that kind of design, you go for Blaziken, and if you don't like, you can always fall back on the other two.

There remains a difference between Quaquaval, who wears pants that make no attempt at being discreet or subtle, dance accessories that are visible from miles away, and an extravagant hairstyle, and Blaziken, whose legs evoke flames and are like fur, at least give him a somewhat more natural and subtle appearance. Blaziken's animalistic and monstrous side dominates far more than his Jobmon features.
>>
>>59344540
>There remains a difference between Quaquaval, who wears pants
Blaziken also wears pants meant to resemble martial arts clothing.

>Blaziken also wears pants meant to resemble martial arts clothing.
It looks similar, but it's not one in the strictest sense; it's done subtly. The flame pattern makes perfect sense given its type, and if you look at its paws, they're like fur, giving them a more natural appearance. Quaquaval, by comparison, has feet sticking out of the bottom of pants as if it were wearing a dance outfit. They made an unnatural cut in its pants to explicitly make them look like trousers.

>Blaziken literally has bandages on its very humanoid arms while Quaquaval has actual bird wings.
The bandages are white, here they're more like chicken feet, and that's where the subtlety comes into play again. Moreover, the flames on its handles echo similar patterns on its legs, which looks really good. Given that it's a fighting type, this can further justify certain traits that remain subtle.

Since you have a short memory, I'm going to show you a little picture to remind you how stupid Quaquaval is.

And if you don't like Blaziken, there's Sceptile and Swampert who look even more natural. Which Skeledirge and Meowscarada don't.

You're right Quauaval is subtle because the wave pattern on its pants make perfect sense given its type, and its pants are like fur, giving them a more natural appearance.

Ah yes, chicken feet, known commonly for being on their ARMS. How subtle.

Quaquaval has no subtlety. The cut of his pants is designed so that they are explicitly pants with feet sticking out of what look like pant sleeves.
Whereas with Blaziken, there isn't that weird cut-out in the trouser sleeves. His feet are a tuft of fur. This makes it more subtle because more emphasis is placed on natural characteristics.

Sports bandages leave the fingers exposed. But we can clearly see that the whole hand is like that, because they resemble chicken feet. His arms aren't even wings, so there's nothing inconsistent about his arms being similar to rooster feet (and therefore bird talons).

Absolutely not. In Blaziken's case, it's a tuft of fur with protruding claws, which is a rather animalistic feature, subtly and thoughtfully designed. The other one has large, unsightly feet that stick out past its pant sleeves, but you're deliberately burying your head in the sand to troll.

>Chickens don't have feet on their arms, dumbfuck.
Because a chicken breathes fire? For crying out loud, it's a Pokémon, make an effort. They are literally chicken feet, but you hate it because it makes you feel wrong.

I remind you that in my initial message, I referred to Blaziken as a "jobmon". I simply nuanced my statement to say that, unlike more recent starters, its design elements are a bit more subtle, and if you don't like it, you can fall back on Sceptile or Swampert, whereas with Skeledirge and Meowscarada, you're stuck with a similar archetype. But you feel compelled to ragebait and troll, thinking I'm a Blazikenfag when there are plenty of other starters I prefer (including Sceptile and Swampert).
I don't really care about Blaziken, I just see that he doesn't have weird and unsubtle cuts in his design like a suit, shorts, or accessories.

We don't give a damn about your drawing; you can mention it in every single reply, it won't change anything, you've lost.

The design of a creature encompasses many aspects; it's a whole, not just your arbitrary little sketch. It's not limited to the pose of the artwork either. You're deliberately omitting all the physical characteristics, how the design elements are integrated into the character, and so on. Deep down, you know it perfectly well. But you're playing your last card out of desperation, thinking it will work out.

>Alakazam and Conkeldurr remain exceptions
"d-doesn't count!" is not an argument
The Timburr line is a wild Pokemon by the way, and yet we're supposed to believe that ALL of them carry around the same shit. At least the Grookey line is not a common wild encounter.

Lucario is ABSOLUTELY a person in a costume. Look up Anubis. You only accept it because it's been around since you were a child.
Same reason you accept Chinese warlord Emboar but not wrestler Incineroar, I'd argue the latter makes more sense in the wild than Emboar.

Blaziken is a man even garudamon looks more monster/animal than him

What? You're off-topic. I never said it doesn't count.

I'm talking about the starters, which have all been following the same trend lately. You're bringing up random Pokémon like Alakazam or Conkeldurr, even though I've never said anything about them, and besides, Pokémon holding accessories are a minority in the entire Pokédex. My complaint relates exclusively to the spam of this trend regarding starters, not to the rest of the bestiary.

It's a bit ridiculous, you're so frustrated that you feel compelled to multi-post.

I'm going to repeat myself because following a discussion is clearly too complicated for you. I have nothing against humanoid Pokémon; there are some very good ones like Decidueye, Greninja, and Ceruledge. While others are ugly, like Quaquaval, Mr. Mime, or Jynx.
It's not nostalgia either. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I appreciate Meowcarada, even though it's Gen 9. My criticism of the Jobmon, mainly concerns the repetitive pattern regarding Starters.

And the funniest thing is that you keep insisting, like some kind of moron, that I'm claiming Blaziken isn't humanoid. Even though I explicitly stated in the previous conversation that he's a Jobmon and that he is humanoid.
All I did was add a nuance: if you don't like Blaziken, you can choose Sceptile and Swampert, who take a radically different direction (which is excellent because we're not forced into a design archetype), and that Blaziken's Jobmon traits are presented in a slightly more subtle way (that doesn't mean they don't exist), which is simply a mark of quality because it's handled better. But clearly, in your mind, it's too difficult to grasp.

Doesn't it make a lot more sense for starters to carry around stuff or look humanoid?
Starters being humanoid is treated like an objectively bad design choice because "I can't imagine them in the wild"
Here's the thing, they AREN'T regular wild encounters, they're either one time gifts or explicitly rare encounters. This cannot be said for Timburr or Throh and Sawk
>>
Personally I think the humanoid starters get way too much hate for being "character-like" when arguably the most popular Pokemon in the entire franchise is Mimikyu which is so much of a singular character that it has an entire fucking backstory dedicated to it that every single member of its species supposedly goes through yet nobody bats an eye. Mimikyu deserves infinitely more hate for not being a Pokemon but a jrpg uwu sad mascot character that tripped into the wrong series.
>>
>>59346076
Cubone is popular and has a famous backstory about its dead mother.
Or how about every Kangaskhan having a child in its pouch
I also love that Throh and Sawk are literal dudes wearing clothes

The anime has shown it can wear its Pikachu disguise for different reasons, TR's wanted to get revenge on any Pikachu it saw

yeah I never got that either, i didnt even know that pokemon truly understood the concept of popularity like my cat doesnt see a bunch of pictures of Longcat and suddenly want to stand on two feet. I also hate that its basically ghost pikachu instead of having a real Ghost form when you break its disguise.
>>
>>59346154
Your cat isn't as smart as a Pokémon. Pokémon are sapient or close to sapient, they aren't animals.
>>
>>59343928
I'm tired of pokémon breaking the duct tape. Being a quadruped is fine if you're not Samurott trying to use a weapon like a humanoid.
>>
even zelda and nintendo did better birds than lmao even wearing clothes they still look less humanoid than blaziken and quaqaval, gf designers are fucking garbage
>>
>>59347196
And which one sold more merchandise? Which one is more popular and more well known? That's right, Blaziken. Your opinions don't matter. It's a good design, and that's why it's successful.

Samurotts battle with sheathed blades. Their skill is concealing the weapon immediately when its used.

The main problem with these designs is their translation.
Some retard said about Blaziken, but if you think about it, it makes sense. Fucker can learn moves like Rock Slide and Earthquake. Meaning that they're from rocky terrains. So having them more bipedal makes sense. Like how you could find Machop in DPPT. Since BW, some first partners do not translate where they came from; they're more often than not donut steals first.

Which is fine if they're unique, akin to Mewtwo or most legendaries. Except you can find more than one nowadays, and it ruins their value, and it puts their design in the question.

Post a human that looks like Skeledige. Skeledige is the only starter in a while that understood the assignment.

Funny that every mon is using the key art (the one that's used everywhere with detailed shading) meanwhile Skeledirge is using some non-standard art just because it's standing, it's trying so hard to push a narrative lol

In nature quadrupedals that occasionaly stand on two legs are called facultative bipedals and it's very common, being able to stand bipedal doesn't mean it's their main way of moving about, it just means they can reach for stuff or do some things for a limited time. Skeledirge is clearly something more like that.

This is to highlight that standing up, he looks like a guy in a suit and that, consequently, his design is not so different from the other two
>>
>>59350063
If that is a guy in a suit then most starters are. Funny how no one accuses Blastoise (a kaijumon) of being a guy in a suit even though Ultraman kaiju are literally portrayed by guys in suits.
>>
>>59344033
This is the worst opinion.
