This is a perfect example of terrible idea, terrible execution
This is a perfect example of great idea, abysmal dogshit execution
>>59453114>have TWO johto starters>Make one of the johto starters into a fucking toilet weaker than its own baby>Also its Dragonize is mid at best, only reason it has anyfor fuck sake, what a waste of a mega. THIS is the Gimmick designed for Game Freak's Favorite Pokemon? THIS is the ultimate shilling? They should have just given the mega to fucking Empoleon.
Perfect example of terrible idea, great execution
>>59453114it's seriously baffling how this thing made it past every stage of development and approval. it should have been thrown out from the very first concept.
>>59453122it's seriously baffling how this thing made it past every stage of development and approval. it should have been thrown out from the very first concept.
Man why did they even go with those 3 starters they clearly didn't have good ideas for any.Though all the new megas are slop desu
>>59453122theres literally nothing wrong with it
>>59453122>Samurai Sea lion >Great idea Execution is ok tho
>>59453114theres literally nothing wrong with it
>>59453114>crocodile with giant second jaw>terrible ideaExecution is ok tho
>>59453286All the old megas are slop too.But seeing as you were 13 years younger than today then, it's no wonder you think they were any cop. The essence of the marketing sticking its landing with the target demo.
>>59453358>Second jaw is doesn’t use it’s jaw muscles but is stronger than it’s actual bite for some reason Nice “execution” lmao
>>59453351>can't walk while using its swordsNice "execution" lmao
Kekarooo
>>59453437Good thing it doesn’t need movement to use its swords then
>>59453358Yeah, it’s a terrible idea because it shits on the core design rather than accentuating it. You can’t even call it an inspired design because the concept of arms and a head implement making a new aesthetic was done 15 years earlier by fucking Excadrill, who ALSO has the same concept with its mega.
>>59453420>All the old megas are slop too.not the ones for the shillmons like CHARIZARD
>>59453286Old megas honestly have a much worse track record than new megas. New megas just have Pyroar and Feraligatr, which weigh down the whole thing.But look at how fucking terrible megas like Salamence, Tyranitar, Swampert, Aerodactyl, the Lati Twins, Venusaur, Garchomp (original mega), Manetric, Lucario, Houndoom, Altaria, and so much more look compared to the new megas, and it's really no contest.
>>59453531And Victreebel, and Starmie, and the Raichus, and honestly I always thought Meganium was kind of lame too. People always seethe about Skarmory, Clefable, Heatran, and Darkrai too.
>>59453545All examples that aren't any worse, and often are legitmately better, than the likes of Salamence, Sharpedo, Aerodactly, etc.New megas just have the worst two, but the rest of the bottom 10 are all old megas.
>>59453114everything after gen 5
>>59453552Actively defending Starmie, Victreebel, and Darkrai automatically voids your argument. All three of those are bottom10.
>>59453557If you say so. I think at least attempting something with the design rather than lazily slapping spikes on it and calling it a day makes it at least interesting to look at.It's why I think Mega Gyarados is one of the better megas. Does it look stupid? Hell yeah it does, stupider than Victreebel and Darkrai even. But at least they did something with it.But hey, if you like triangles, then I guess old megas are what suits you.
>>59453561 #You’re defending two of the laziest megas and one that looks like a floating balloon. I’m not even sure why you think Mega Houndoom is bad enough to be bottom 10.
>>59453568Laziest? No that goes to Sableye, and it's not even a contest. Change nothing about the creature but give it a prop. Except the prop is so cumbersome, that when you actually have to animate it beyond the static poses of the game, you have to remove the prop. So you're just left with Sableye again.
>>59453531>>59453552>>59453561Midwit moment. This is how megas are supposed to be. >take cool thing>add spikes>get cooler thingBut you are right about Sharpedo being trash.
>>59453698>This is how megas are supposed to be.Bland shit?
>>59453122>samurott out of nowhereThis shit isn't even mental illness at this rate.
>>59453736Better bland than skibidi
>>59453746Honestly, yeah I can’t argue with that. I would’ve preferred color autism over skibidi/weaker than its baby/popularity shitposting
>>59453739>This is a perfect example of terrible idea, terrible executionIt is just as relevant to this thread as Mega Feraligatr, if not more.
>>59453271>>59453277Both true.
>>59453294See >>59453351 & >>59453437.
>>59453512Isn't that a surprise?!?! Shillmon get "good" slop, the rest get slop.Still slop, still ignoring the point (you are no longer the target demo OR important to the persistence of the series), still crying like a secondary retard upset with being put in her box. >>59453415
>>59453775>>59453444
>>59453114Pretty much yeah, most of the redesigns I've seen of it still look really bad even if they manage to improve on it. >>59453122>>59453277Christ get a life already you fucking loser.
>yawnfag desperately deflecting>bong shill implying gen alpha likes this design >toilet imagery>muh polls is the reason why this looks like shit!!!how bad was the dev process for this thing lmao
>>59453432Good thing it doesn’t need to use its jaw muscles then
>>59454389>>59454413
>>59454420>>59454413
>>59454423
>>59454429>>59454413Why are you ashamed of being noticed, Kojo? Is it embarrassing to be you?
>>59453736Yes, if you want big changes then you are looking for cross gen evolutions
>>59453271It's become extremely obvious since around Gen 8 that a lot of Pokémon completely skip several stages of the design process and just go straight from being rough drafts with a vague idea behind them to finalized designs without any kind of iteration or improvement being allowed to happen in-between.
>>59453531>Houndoom, AltariaWhat's wrong with those?
>>59454398Why would a fake jaw have a stronger bite than your actual jaws? Its a retarded concept in all aspects
>>59453444Why would it not evolve to move while using its swords? Its a retarded concept in all aspects
>>59453114>>59453122This isn't funny anymore. There's no way you can't tell me that these two are not connected. Every time I see someone shit on Mega Feral, Samorutt comes right after. This have to be OP. He knows that every sees him as a weird anti-Samorutt schizo, so he try to make it seems like it someone else.
*mogs all recent megas*
>>59454542Same reason why predators evolved to attack with claws despite needing their forelimbs to move
>>59454553>only a single person can dislike [awful thing] AND [awful thing]
>>59454553I also think Samurott’s design is shit, but typically you don’t see Mega Feraligatr threads include seething at Samurott.
>>59453114Not necessarily a terrible idea since I've seen fan designs which did way better with the same concept. It just happens that this mega has barely got any change aside the red material cumbersome "hood", dragon type and the incredibly stupid Pokedex entry
>>59453138Dragonize is okay in that you have a Nuke, but I'll use Waterfall and Trailblaze way more than Double Edge.
>>59453114toilet lid lookin' ass
>what's the best part of a pokemon evolving>making it look like its retarded baby first form
>>59454946>what’s the best part of a pokemon evolving>in this case nothing because it doesn’t let us sell more plush dolls to insectoid consoomers
>>59454562Unironically glorious Mega, what a glow up. Strong, too.
>>59453953>still slop what's slop about >>59454562
>>59454999This thing was hyped by people here but it ended up being a dud
>>59455003>NOOOO BUT IT’S BAD IN COMPAt least it isn’t ugly lmfao
>>59455003where is this from?
>>59455002>what's slop about [slop gimmick]You really had to ask me that question?
>>59455030>her favorite was too much of a foddermon to get a mega sad
>>59454562ZA Megas were a mistake
>>59455003HOLY KEK its so shit
>>59455029https://www.pokemon-zone.com/
>>59455041>making assumptionsMy "favourite" I'm not autistic enough to have one overall favourite[/spoiler ]already got megas mate. They started off giving 'Zard, Mewtwo and Ampharos megas, then saw fit to add ones for Dragonite, Froslass, Scoilipede and even gave Golurk some love.And let's not forget Delphox getting one on top, complete with shill event to acquire its stone. But despite all that, it's still just a gimmick aimed at getting kids to ignore how boomer 90's the actual gameplay is outside the flashy lights bells and buttons to "change" pokémon. And they got me in '99 with the formula when it was apt for the times and new, so I don't need flashy-flashy to continue to play. Cheers for giving me a ballpark on your age there though.
>>59455044I don’t dislike the design it’s just not particularly strong in comp. It’s tough to justify giving your mega slot to anything other than spread-abusing demons.
I want to know who was resonsible for this abomination
>>59454583>Stops, pulls out its swords and swings them around, but cant move>Opponent just waits there out of range until it gets tired while hitting it with projectiles like thunderboltsRetarded concept
>>59455209>Stops, pulls out its swords and swings them around, but cant moveYou do realize it's not based on kenjutsu right?
>>59453698>get cooler thingShame it rarely turned out that way with the original set, huh?
>>59455424Every time I see this it reminds me of Serj.
>>59455272NTA but going out of the way to specify that it's iaijutsu is even sillier. I can't imagine how this thing's supposed to zip around like Vergil from Devil May Cry.
bump
>permanently tanks feraligatr stocks across the boardSo this is the power of Kalos...
>>59453114the idea if it was executed well
>thread is about feraligatr>yawntroon tries to make it about samurottNigga we all know you're sexually frustrated so head over to e621 and fap to your waifu already.
>>59455515It learns Aerial Ace by level up, so they're speedy when they need to be
>>59456442he's quick and nimble when he needs to be
>what's the best part of a pokemon evolving>making it less effective at using its own weapons
>>59456460Good thing it doesn't apply to the Samurott line then
>>59456460kek this applies to both Samurott and Mega Gatr
>>59456484>>59453122>>59453770>B-but what about Samur...ACKKK!Contrarianism won't make you any smarter
>>59456531Including Emboar and turning Feraligatr into a humiliation ritual really killed the trio.
>>59456531>the more popular trio got regional forms that do nothing for the original >>59456460 >the less popular trio got the Zard gimmick, but ones a fucking toilet weaker than its own baby, one’s a worse assault vest, and the best one is raped by SunZardofHealthyMeta
>>59453114Nickelodeon and TMNT did it 10 years layer and honestly better because the character reboot didn't imply evolutions and stages, it's a single standing character and design.Meanwhile Feraligatr mega evolves into a decoy like bait helmet that looks like Totodile to presumely trick someone right after mega evolving in front of it.
>>59456300>mainline games if unite biotleg costumes
>>59456838>presumely trick someone right after mega evolving in front of it.That’s just cope, it’s actually because Gamefreak did negative research on crocs so now Totodile has a stronger bite force than its fully matured form.
>>59456840Unite is actually good unlike the main series slop thoughever
>>59454946Good thing it doesn't apply to the Feraligatr line then
