Why can't Pokemon be more like this?
>>59521441Like what? Big?
>>59521441because you bought it anyway
>>59521448This has to be fake news
>>59521449Cool, edgy, aesthetic
>>59521449Monsters instead of bobblehead Disney mascots.
>>59521441Marketability.Not only does the Pokémon have to be easy to turn into a plush, but it's also have to be easy to animate in both 2d and 3d.
>>59521448Really putting the pocket in pocket monster
>>59521441because the franchise isn't insecure enough to try to look cool all the time the way pre-school boys are
>>59521448Nidoking is just utilizing its ability to shrink, which is something all Pokemon can do.
>>59521441Why haven’t the Nido lines gotten any alternate forms? You’d think these things would be first in line for them.
>>59521472I would never trust them with new forms again after the most recent ones.
>>59521467>Looking cool is a sign of insecurity.What utter tripe. A lobotomy would probably increase your intellect.
>>59521460>MarketabilityIf that design isn't marketable then that's a condemnation of modern society. Civilization really does need a reset.
>>59521467You sound incredibly insecure lmao
>>59521489They kind of had a better track record this time than years ago. Somehow.
>>59521441>>59521472>>59521788I'm biased because it's my favorite pokemon, but why did Nidoking end up being overlooked by GF? It didn't even get a mega. Imagine the competitive monster it would have been if it got half the attention some other mons get.
funny how they always post nidoking lmao and not other pokemon because there are only like 3-4 cool pokemon in kanto the rest are meme cute designs
>>59521792Maybe because of its attachment to Nidoqueen?
>>59521792yeah! imagine how cool it would be if it got a mega! it'd be like mega tyranitar or mega houndoom levels of cool! :D
>>59521453This lucario ruined pokemon
>>59521516trying hard to look cool is a sign of insecurity, yes. and it is very easy to tell when someone is trying too hard.>>59521782>felt called out so instantly went "no u"baby
>>59521457>>59521459That's what Digimon is for.
>>59521797The leaked planned Gigantamax Nidoking is one of the best designs in the franchise so of course they didn't use it so we could get G.Alcremie and shit instead
>>59522300>The leaked planned Gigantamax Nidoking is one of the best designs in the franchiseThe fuck it was, it was yet another "dude facial hair lmao" form, SWSH has so many as it is I'm surprised they had the self-awareness to scrap it.
>>59521809>no upot, meet kettle
>>59521448The rabbit part made the kaiju a monlet.Aggron is a more intimidating taller kaiju.
>>59521472There was an attempt.
>>59521448Monlet Nidoking is great. He's scrappy in spite of his size.
>>59521448stop bullying him. now
>>59521441The Electric Tale manga tended to have the Pokemon (usually evolved ones) be big and monstrous.
>>59521441Because that sucks.
>>59523998Stop with the ragebait bruh. We both know that's untrue. Why lie?
>>59524023I'm not lying. Edgy early-instalment weirdness was rightfully dragged out behind the barn and shot after Gen 5 nearly killed the franchise. The Pokemon Renaissance of Gen 6 saved the series, and there's no room for tryhard shit like that in Pokemon anymore.
>>59523462I'd like a spinoff with the Electic tale style. But we know it wont happen.
>>59524029Weird response given they released MegaZard X in the same gen. And Yveltal. And the Primals. And then Necrozma wiping out different worlds in gen 7.
>>59522300No it wasnt.>"its Nidoking..... lets make him a KING!!!!!! :D"absolute creatively bankrupt bottom of the barrel thought process that was rightfully thrown out. The design was so bad modern GameFreak threw it out. Thats how bad it was.
>>59524029>I'm not lying.Yes you are. This isn't an example of "early installment weirdness". You're just misapplying it here to write off the fact that the franchise was turbo-sterilized for mass market appeal.The early games reflected an artist (Tajiri) putting his vision out there for the world to see. Not long after everything (including art style) shifted for mass-market appeal (softer and friendlier rivals) and became influenced by focus groups and corporate research.It didn't happen all at once, of course. I'd never accuse Masuda of not having a vision, but Pokemon slowly ceased being art and now is a mere product. Nothing more.
>>59524091There is no such thing as art, retard.
>>59521448Lexian being that big is the freaky part. Head the size of a watermelon.
>>59521800What did that lucario do?
>>59521797Why do some autists on this board have such a hate boner for Mega Houndoom?
