I just don’t understand why he wasn’t more popular
>>59544787>Generic cartoon animal Gee i wonder why
Probably because he looks gay and retarded?
>>59544787She*
>>59544787The only place i've seen people glazing this guy was reddit
i like grookey and rillaboom but that mid stage is competing with marshtomp for ugliest fucking design
>>59544787>hecringe
>>cringeYou need to be 18 to post here
>>59544787Cause he's ugly as fuck? And cause it's fucking retarded that he pulls a drum set out of his fucking ass? What a stupid question anon
>>59544787I think the monke himself is pretty inoffensive, but pulling a drum set out of his ass it strange and puts me off. You'd figure if you'd want to depict a gorilla as a drummer, you would try to incorporate something like a bongo theme onto its chest and then it beats on it. Since y'know that's what people associate with gorillas
>>59544787Evenwithout a drum this guy is genuinely less cooler than actual real life gorillas Even it's feet are human-ike and not gorilla-like

>>59544842>>59544846Samefag another time thank you
>>59544787Lmfao, of course this contraian board wonders why most Pokemon that are unpopular are unpopular
>59544823>59544849samefag
>Bara >Competitive monster >Favored from devs Why did incineroar succeeded but rillaboom flopped?
>>59544860Cause one is based on a tiger (cool) and the other on a gorilla (ugly)
>starts copying posting after getting btfo Kek
>>59544787I'm 99% sure it was entirely based off a UK chocolate bar adhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs2z7OA3XKI
>>59544849Bodied her
>>59544856Bodied her
>Rillaboom so shit people would rather talk about anything but the pokemon itself Grim
>>59544799True, it was the only Galar starter depicted as a female in the anime, Cinderace line and Inteleon line were both all male KEK
>>59544891nah, gorillas have always been paired with drums because they use their chests as drums
>>59544787Rillaboom is a VGC shillmon though so you shouldn't be too upset about it
>>59544787they really should've just put the drum in his chest/abdomen instead of pulling one out
>>59544787It's just not appealing to look at. Pokemon in general is pretty bad at designing appealing monkey faces. The body looks more like an inflated balloon than muscular. The drum and drumsticks are comically small, containing the big creature to be hunched over and closed off.Nothing about the design works. It feels like they designed the Gigantamax first, and then worked backwards to what a less impressive form would look like.
>>59545222Based Trips, I'd take this
>>59544787Several factors>Hard to draw>Has the worst starter type (Grass needs a "miracle" to win something)>Has the worst concept among all three Galar starters (also drummers are often perceived as the least popular or least visible members of a rock band)>Has the worst signature move (in terms of appearance)>Not associated with one of the anime's protagonists>Hated by TPC>>59544860>>59544862, Not as hard to draw and Japanese humour bonus, since he's inspired by Tiger Mask.
>>59544860Incineroar succeeded? Outside of Competitive what does it get?
>>59545292In smash
>>59544860You could make an argument that Rillaboom fits all of those as well, it’s just less popular with Japs. I don’t think either Incineroar or Rillaboom are popular with westerners. Anyway Rillaboom’s design is boring.
too anthro for animalfagstoo just an animal for anthrofagsshitty clunky gimmickit's just not appealing in any way
>>59544787It's the worst kind of pokemon. The ones that are heavily based off an animal but are far lamer than the real thing. Croc mons except maybe Krookodile are victims of this too
>>59544787FINALLY SOMEONE LET ME OUT OF MY CAGE
>>59546521Funny image
>>59544787Less cool than an actual gorilla.Has a job.Pulls out an instrument our of his ass whenever it comes out.Was decent enough in competitive to set terrain and spam priority moves so you were forced to see it.Even when they made it competitive with a busted ability and good priority people only hated it more because they had to see him when they played online. This was a Nepo baby pokemon designed for success but was so fucking ugly and stupid with it's ass drum that people only used it because it was good and still didn't grow to like it or "respect" it like incineroar or amoongus.The concept and design are just terrible, what makes it worse is that it is yet another starter with a job that evolves out of a cute monkey, I know two people that picked grookey and felt utter disappointment when this asshole evolved and pulled out a drum out of his ass, turns out almost everyone felt the same way about it.
if you ever want to laugh, look up rillaboom's gigantamax form
>>59546521To be fair, the bar for crocodiles is pretty damn high, not much could really compete with it, there’s a reason they’ve basically been unchanged for millions of yearsAny specific issues with the non Krookodile crocs
It was just that simple.
>>59544787I never understood the hate. It seems forced.
>>59544787The retarded drum ruined it, simple as
>>59546521The only sketchy one is Skeledirge and that’s only because design clutter makes it look like a clown. And I guess toilet croc, but Feraligatr was well-liked before then.
>>59544787one of the most boring designs they've ever done, and it's fucking starter
>>59544787It doesn't even look like a gorilla and the hair is ugly
>>59546521dogpiling with the other anons but that's less an indictment of crocmons and more that real crocs are that awesome
>>59547078Insane how much better this is. How did they fuck it up so badly?
>>59544787Gen 1/2 coded
>>59544787Fucking look at it
>>59545342Oh, you're one of those.Pffffthahahaha.
>>59548930If he was Gen 2 coded, he would have been a Hello Kitty monster moe design like 95% of Johto
>>59545222>killed the edgy movies award.
>>59544787Furries aren't a fan of primates.You see more humanfuckers/HMOX interested but only if it's a girl
>>59548927I simpry give it fraw.That design is troo cooru howeva. No regional varianto 4 u for the next 10 yea.
>>59549317This guy is past his prime, when will he leave the company? Surely Nintendo is just waiting for him to fuck off so they can make it a more competent place for people to work on the next Pokemon game
>>59549287>Pokémon of the year This isn’t shilling, that’s the people making their voices heard>masters ex Incin is in that too >Vstat, crown, exPretty sure incin has all that too >Pokémon unite Yes >pokken Yes>PLA*Yes with an * because Alolan Decidueye literally cant be in it and it’s not like Hisuian form actually helps the original. Also game freak intentionally buried PLA. However it still counts Owl has Unite, Pokken, and PLA*Incin has Smash,and being hand-crafted to be the most important VGC Pokemon for over a decade. So it’s really a matter of what’s more important
