Did they forget how to make megas in ZA or something?
>>59345908You're all alone on this gatrcuck
>>59345908
>>59345931Genuinely what the fuck was this design
>>59345908I hate ZA Megas so fucking much
>59345948>I hate ZA Megas so fucking much
>>59345916This
>>59345963He's so fucking cool
>>59345953Yes, they all suck
>>59346560Nah you're all alone on this gatrcuck
>>59346560>Yes, they all su-
>>59346571>inb4 gatrcuck seethe
ZA megas are pretty forgettable, like the ugly ice godzilla rip off
is it growin on ya
>>59346594I thought I would eventually become apathetic to it but I’m still mad.
>>59346594OH NO NO NO NO
>>59345908I don't understand why they suddenly stuck with the philosophy that some megas need to look like their previous forms?
>>59346737“Stuck”? They didn’t even stick with that philosophy for the other two starters in ZA.
>>59345931>>59345942Nothing wrong with just adding spikes and making it bigger.The mega evolution form is a temporary super powered form. So it makes sense for them to just be weaponized. It's certainly a lot better than the mega evo doing something fucking hideous.
>>59346744I think the goatee just looks really dumb and makes the rest of the design look ridiculous.
>>59346746It's a rock goatee. It's a rock pokemon. If adding spikes to it is ever good it's on a rock pokémon.
>>59346749That doesn’t mean it looks good.
>>59346750Yeah it does. He's a rocker.
>>59345916>>59346568Wrong, there are also pyroarcucks.Just kidding, there aren't any.
>>59345908>Mega Feraligatr turns back into Totodile!Always hated this concept. Wish they tried something else
>>59346763It’s the only mega starter that has that gimmick too.
>>59346737>>59346741Maybe because it was the first starter mega where the base stage's popularity outstripped the final stage's among the audiences that Game Freak make pokémon for. I mean, as much as I think Venusaur and Blastoise's megas are retarded looking, they both DO build off their final evo stages. Ditto the Hoenn set and the Kalos set, with 'Zard getting TWO megas, to emphasise both its draconic heritage and its flying lizard state. And for all the shitting on meganium and emboar the internet has done over 25 years, THEY both got megas that built off their final evo forms. And then that self-same internet turn around and act like they don't know why the company that makes designs specifically to merchandise, market and farm money off people with decided to highlight a completely different stage of life under the influences of mega evolution. The answer is staring you in the face, regardless how ignorant and self-absorbed you want to be.
>>59345908plushes take precedent
>>59345908Idk all 3 are bad, sceptile is worse than base sceptile , megas always were ugly shit
>>59345908Gamefreak has been seething for years that people like Megas and wanted them to return over the newest gimmick, so they used Z-A as an excuse to purposefully make dogshit Megas in hopes people would turn against them.
>>59347513Im more convinced that Gamefreak is pissed that little Twitter Timmy can make better designs than they can.I remember back when Tumblr was still popular you started to see alternate forms and "half breed" forms become hugely popular... And then suddenly GF came out with regional forms.So they just make dogshit because "fuck you."
>>59346571Mega phox is so good that I wish it was her default form. Regular Delphox is kind of a letdown from Braixen.
>>59345908Primarina was robbed. We could have had a more stylish mega evolution, and instead we got one of the worst cases of "thinking outside the box" in this franchise.
>>59347000> Maybe because it was the first starter mega where the base stage's popularity outstripped the final stage's among the audiences that Game Freak make pokémon forThird. Bulbasaur and Chikorita are more popular than their final stages. But I’m pretty sure you’re going to bend over backwards to deny that considering you do this song and dance in every Feraligatr thread, middle-aged waifufag.
It's really just Feraligatr that looks funny. There's so many good ones.>Shiny Dragonite looking like the real final form of Dratini. >War Hawk Staraptor>Golurk ripping the seal off after 15 years.Flying witch Delphox.>Drampa reverse aging. These are elegant and feel like the most complete version of that Pokemon. It makes you wonder what was the process of Feraligatr.
>>59347829I wish the Tera leak had some notes in their design process for it. Genuinely one of the worst designs they’ve ever released, it’s not even a good fellatio of Totodile.
>>59347833It probably did. The cocksucker who leaked it was just a game freak shill who didn’t wants to leak anything related to ZA or gen 10.
>>59345908I think they just fumbled with a few like they always do. I think ZA had some awesome new Mega evolutions. Scrafty even joins the Klan after noticing and reading statistics online.
>>59347529Game Freak has openly stated they've rejected designs for being too close to fan designs. They're too obsessed with being surprising and original to go with actually good designs.
>>59347974>Scrafty even joins the KlanThe usual suspects
>>59347829Ever since Gen 6 game freak has been explicitly making "shill starter" and "flop starters made for comedic relief or spite". Before whole trios were shilled (1,3,4), for set up to fail (2,5). Gen 6Greninja= Shill Delphox=neutralChesnaught=made to flop As of ZA they're all shillmons due to their megas,Gen 7Incin=ShillPrima=neutralOwl= made to flop, just look at its stats what the actual fuck Gen 8 Cinderace=Shill Other two= who cares. Stat wise Intelleon is the flop but even being the one the best pokeon in the game hasn't protected Rilla from flopping popularitywise PLAH Samurott=shill (entire trio got next to fuck all but H samurrot at least got an extra card full art and Champions spotlight) Other two= who cares, game freak nor TPC does anything with them, though H Owl is completely useless in PvP again. Gen 9Cat=ShillCroc=Neutralduck= made to flop ZAMega Meganium= Shill Mega Emboar= Neutral Mega Feraligatr= Made to flop
>>59345908Yes
>>59345908More like mainly bad designs get approved in order to avoid accusations of copying fan art. Since they waited so long to bring back Megas, the internet is now flooded with tons of fan art inspired by the older designs
>>59347825Bulbasuar has kanto bonus and they evolved Chikorita in the 22 minute long toy advert WAAAAAY back in the day.But gatr never got any kind of attention and the specifically kept Totodile an unevolved comedic shitmon for a reason (shit sold merch. They don't delete merch sellers *coughrowleteverstonedcough*). I'm sorry you had to find out your zoomie childhood mon-star was actually a play-doh model, but Game Freak only do what they know will sell (which is why they turned gatr into a massive totodile when it came to giving it a gimm9ick form instead of trying to polish a turd harder like you cunts).
>>59349739So basically game freak stupidly scrapped mega for no reason despite it being the only gimmick people care about , then when fans decided to fill the void with their own creativity, game freak now decides to punish fans for it.
>>59347513This. It's that simple.
All kanto forms borrow from their preevos.
>>59346744>i prefer drinking piss than eating shit You do you i guess
>>59347991Why di they care about that? game freak had no problem stealing from Dragon Quest, Digimon, Yokai Watch, and Cassette Beasts?
>>59351156Gamefreak never stole from DQ. That's an urban myth. Alone in the Dark invented survival horror but resident evil wrote the book on it. Same thing here.Thing is, Alone in the Dark was more of a survival horror than DQ was a monster tamer.
>>59347829Feraligatr looks like it was drawn on a napkin and then rammed through the review process out of sheer spite for a manager.
>>59345908>>59345963>>59345916Emboar may be hated to hell and back, but I will defend it's mega design.
>>59351156You can settle a legal matter privately between companies since everyone involved will be required to sign an NDA. But if the fanart already on the internet it won't take long for haters to jump to the conclusion that some Pokemon artist might have copied the idea and try to dox them and send them death threats.
>>59351761More like they are afraid that a judge would side with the fan artist and they would be forced to update the games, edit out the pokemon from the anime, and trash tons of merch that they would then have to replace with a new design
>>59345908Two edgy lizards, one toilet.
>>59345908it's bad that i barely see any art of these three together? like the dragon trio is fully complete and no one gives a shit
>>59351825It is. People wanted Feraligatr to get a dragon type mega evolution for years, to complete the lizard mega dragon type trio. And when they finally got it, it's one of the worst mega designs of all time. It's a complete bummer.
>>59345908considering ZA has the best mega designs in the franchise no, not really
>>59351825It doesn’t really pair well with the other two. It seems like Gamefreak understood the dragon meme with the three of them but didn’t want to fully commit to it.
>>59351825Maybe if Mega Gatr wasn't so shit in every capacity, they'd be getting art like crazy
>>59345908LMFAO Mega Feraligatr looks like it's from a whole different series
>>59351825Fucking yaoi hands lizard is getting more fanarts with charizard and sceptile it just shows how much of a failure mega feraligatr is
>>59351889Technically it’s more closely related to them
>>59351889it has never been more over than now...
>>59351889Damn I wish I was her.
>>59351825This >>59351838 is the only art I’ve seen of all three. Is there more?
>Mega sceptile and charizard-X when mega feraligatr walks in
>>59351889eww
>Average /vp/edo when he sees a woman: >>59352463
>>59352467nah just Inceleon
>>59352468Pretty sure it's the woman
>>59352469Has to be the woman, /vp/ wouldn’t get grossed out at the prospect of fucking a pokemon
