This is Starmie's Legacy
>LegacyThis is a game for children
some designs are bad. some designs lazy. some designs both. but EVERY design will have 1000 retards raging on you in a YT comment section about it if you correctly point out its flaws and starmie mightve taken the gold medal recently
>>59533928this poster will complain about something else when WiWa gets released
>>59533928Based
another one of these bot-tier threads
>>59533928Better than it deserves honestly.
>>59533928As stupid and lazy as it is conceptually, the anime managed to make it look somewhat decent, so I'll give it that.
>>59533928One of the shittiest designs in a game full of bottom barrel shit designs and japs eat it up because of muh Ultraman.

>Starmie is an objectively cool, otherworldly Pokemon so devoid of humanoid features it doesn't even have a face or eyes>was a respected, high caste PvP mainstay for a decade before powercreep washed it away>Mega turns it into le funny huge power meme man that people on either side of the quirk chungas image will spend the next 6 years telling you is actually genius design>any "enlightened" Pokeshill will also tell you you should like the design because of the vaguest lore hint tucked away in a Pokedex entry, so that makes it goodWe used to have standards.
>>59533950>Dear diary...Okay
>>59535247Base Starmie always had some funny humanoid animations, like in stadium where it would just stand on its "feet" during battle and wave its "arms" around. To me this is a case of flanderisation, they took a funny but all in all minimal aspect of the design and just went all in on it instead of making something cooler. It's really disappointing that it doesn't get any changes to its design at all outside of the stretched legs
>Sp. Atk: 130Why not?
>Funny design>Great animations >High stats across the board>Japan loves itYou don't have to be joyless, anons.
>>59535377You don't need to defend every corporate decision either
>>59535377Shooting star is what I'd do and literally every fan design trumps the official just because some lazy fuck took two seconds to enlongate its legs. The Patrick Star memes don't help either.
>>59535390They do
>>59535275you didnt need to validate me but i appreciate it

>>59535751it was OU for six generations before SM
>>59535762yeah and its niche in every single one was "has rapid spin and is not complete garbage"
>>59533928cool?
>>59533928Megas have notoriously shit staying power unless it’s tied to a hyper-relevant pokemon like Lucario
>>59535791>lucariolol, its mega was so forgotten that gf gave it another oneyou are right though, CHARIZAAARD will always be priveleged

>>59535791>>59535794>>59535806>>59535815poor greniggers cant catch a break
>>59535390I’m not defending it because it’s a “corporate decision,” I’m defending it because I think it’s funny.
