What went wrong

What went wrong

Those are two different animals you fucking moron

Now compare the one on the right to Pikachu.
Or that water mouse balloon thing.
Its nothing new. Stop getting triggered over cock fight simulator 27.

There have never been cute blob pokemon before.

I hope you're not implying Sandshrew is supposed to be a hedgehog.

>comparing the pikaclone to anything but Pikachu

Where did everything go so wrong?

Childhood is when you idolized post Gen 3's garish randumbness.

Adulthood is realizing the original designs just made more sense.

...

>TOO OVERDESIGNED, IT'S SHIT
>TOO UNDERDESIGNED, IT'S SHIT
Gamefreak literally can't win no matter what they do.

Somewhere between 0 and 100 there is almost a hundred numbers of an acceptable degree.

>literally genwunner: the post
kys urself

wat

>adulthood is idolizing what I IDOLIZE

lolk

Pikachu was neckless for all of one game version. This was the most copypasted stock marketing image of Pikachu when Red and Blue were released.

It became bull shit when every pokemon basically became anthropomorphic or digimon clones.

One of the new pokemon looks like a fucking box.

A FUCKING

B O X

O

X

>Adulthood is realizing the original designs just made more sense.
Do you realize how much of a fedora you sound like right now?

A FUCKING BALL

i love the new pokemons

when the little spikes popped out of that guy i smiled. that's what nintendo stuff is supposed to do to you

it's a battery you stupid piece of shit
if they added more to it you would have cried about it being overdesigned

do you realize how much pasta you're reaplying to right now?

A FUCKING MIME

>it's literally okay when it's from my childhood

oi dont talk shit about digimon
digimon doesnt deserve to be compared to current gen pokemons

Two in the original look like pokeballs.
One is a tursd poking from the ground, its evolves form is two buddy turds show up.
One is a Snake called Ekans, its evolved form is a bigger snake.
One is a rock snake.
One is a palm tree on legs that evolves from eggs.
In the last edition, o e was a set of keys FFS.

POKEMON
LOOK
STUPID

This has always been the fucking case.

When was the last time this board made OC that wasn't a shitty troll pictures?

shit nigga that's pasta? man i'm really out of the loop

gen one has a distinct art style and varying designs/direction
Gen 4 and onwards is moeblob or crawling in my skin for every single design and usually a lot lazier

Why do I look at the official artwork for Togdemaru and feel like we have not went anywhere in 20 years?

A FUCKING BLOB

Gen I is Toriyama rip off with half of the Pokemon looking the same
It's even lazier

it's a porcupine, not a hedgehog

I like how you can tell precisely which Gen 1 Pokemon these are based off of, but the rest just look like random crap.

Been a while

cute hedgeheg

it says a lot about later generations that the laziest/worst designs of the first generation are still more iconic and loveable

Sandshrew is a Shrew you fucking retard.

I really like the new pokemon designs, but then again I haven't played a Pokemon game since Emerald.

Kill yourself

Just accept your juvenoia and shut the fuck up.

Pokemon designs have always been lazy. But that's OK cause its meant for children.

"Yup, looks like I'm going to have Poison Punch someone right in the junk."

Have you considered that maybe it's just people that can't let fucking go?

No, take off the rose tinted specs.
Exegguctor was always retarded.

a blob with good detail work; as far as it can be detailed
rip offs are lazyness in a different way to current gen design lazyness see

That's because they're over 15 years old and are still included in all facets of the franchise, of course they're fucking iconic.

I thought Sandshrew was based off an Echidna not a Pangolin.

Wish I could TURN BACK TIIIIME
To the GOOD OLD DAAAAYS

>it says a lot about nostalgia
FTFY

Remember Bobby's World?

Hey Sup Forums,
Its a Friday. You got free time.
I think we ought spend some time fixing some Pokemon designs.
Come on and make some oc it'll be fun.

that's a sandslash not a sandshrew

I remember Bobby's Girl. The singer really wanted Bobby's dick.

>magmar
>jynx
>lovable
As much, or less so than 99% of the rest of Pokemon.

Actually, Dodrio and Graveler appear on Japan's list of 25 least popular Pokemon in existence.

BEHOLD THE BEAUTY

AVERT YOUR EYES FOR YOU ARE NOT WORTH TO GAZE UPON THIS ANGEL WHICH THE GENIUSES AT GAMEFREAK HAS BESTOWED UPON US

TRULY ALL THOSE THAT WOULD BE REFEREED TO AS GENERATION 1 """POKEMON"""" APPEAR AS A PICTURE OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER BEING RAPED BY FIVE PUERTO RICANS AFTER BEING SOLD BAD ECSTASY WHEN NEXT TO THIS VISION OF HEAVEN

Can we fix pokemon and just retcon the fuck out of the excess?

when our MOMMA SANG
US to SLEEP but NOW we're STRESSED OUT

Exeggcutor has character
Voltorb has character
Generic moeblob shit #549 does not have character
Generic edgelord dragon #453 does not have character

>343420279

Have they revealed a new pokemon that doesn't look like complete shit?

I haven't played since Diamond and Pearl and I don't think I've missed much

>gen 2
>current

Some of the original Pokemon are garbage but only some of the newer Pokemon are good.

They are genuinely over designed and look like a child drew them, just slapping whatever the fuck on them wherever.

I'd use giant stone eel Onix.

Or at least I would if Onix wasn't utter garbage.

A SMALLER FUCKING BLOB

Garbodor is cool.

Just post Klefki if you wanna shitpost

...

Oh right, "character". They had a "soul" too. They weren't so "lifeless". The "gamefeel" was "rad".
Man i fucking love the 90s.

>MUH NOSTALGIA
How blind are you...?
You only say they have character based on a combination of nostalgia and juvenoia. Kids willwill grow attached to these new monsters just like you did as a kid.

So doesn't it bother you that the absolutely worst designs from Gen 1 are still moderately more appealing than the best these past gens have had to offer?

Boxmon isn't something they tried to sweep under the rug, he's one of the main selling points. As was the Icecream and Keychain. The fact that you know exactly which Pokemon I'm referring to says something, dun it?

I'm so happy none of you putrid fucks are in charge of anything important in your lives

Don't forget charm.

But there is nothing wrong with Liepard's design.

>mfw pokemon was the original autistic thing to be into
>mfw it still is

>talking shit about lilligant, one of the best grass type designs
>talking shit about based Croagunk, one of the best designs in the series and calling it an edgelord dragon

>My opinion is a fact.
>My opinion has nothing to do with nostalgia goggles
Yup.

this new little nigga is closer to marill (or, you know, pikachu since it's this gen's pikachu clone) than fucking sandslash.

overdesigned doesn't mean overdetailed
overdesigned means elements that are unnecessary or feel out of place
For example Garbador is both overdesigned AND has bad detail
random shit is slapped on for the pink/blue rock shit
eyes are just white balls with dots in them
mouth is just a black orb with a grey orb inside with spiky bits on the top and bottom

What about the magnet and the rock?

>Generic edgelord dragon #453 does not have character

>appmon
Oh it does

>SONICS ARMS ARE BLUE!!! BLUE!!!!!

Literally you right now.

They already did. Everyone whined about B-BUT WHAT ABOUT MUH FIFTH PIDGEY CLONE SHIT/10

fuck off

I think he is shitting on charizard.

Fuck off, Jules.

>eyes are just white balls with dots in them
Nigga Electrode doesn't even HAVE eyes, just pupils

The joke is that Croagunk is #453

Magnet and Rock had character and charm, not like keyring and ice cream. And electric rat was cool too, not like this new dumb fat hamster.

Which rock? Onix? Graveller?

Which magnet? Electabuzz?

It makes up for it with its character.

I'm not complaining about the legs being purple.
There is just nothing wrong with the design.
It's a dark feline and it looks like a dark feline.

You're right, the dead need some respect.

I love Garbadoor. A broken overflowing bag of trash is a great visual joke

>english names

It's also Sabelette in french, does that mean it's a weasel? it's Korean name is 모래두지, does that also mean it's a mole?

...

>Implying that you are

SUCH CHARACTER
SUCH CHARM
SUCH ICONIC
IS NOT NOSTALGIA GUYS IS OBJECTIVE TRUTH

>Take out all the variety in the most repetitive entry in a repetitive series

GEE I WONDER WHY PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE THIS GAME

>eyes are just white balls with dots in them
Huh.

>A confident grin which successfully transferred onto the Gameboy

Meanwhile no 3D modeling in the world can make this shiteater look good.

I think they've just deluded themselves into thinking people want shit because it sells, when in reality it sells despite that.

The Magnet that evolved into a bag of magnets dumbass.

Well shrews are a type of mole so Korea is at least mostly correct.
