How do we save pokemon?
It's fine. Stop this.
But the new designs look great. Way better than the garbage from Gen 2 like alphabet letters with eyes, a piece of coral with eyes, a sunflower with eyes, a generic deer and cow, and "It just gets bigger": The starters.

these are just fake "leaks", right?
nope, confirmed watch the trailers

Too late, should have ended it after Gen 3.
Pokemon is evolving into something dark and unreal. It's a new direction, and it's necessary. Welcome to a bright new future.
They are looking like yokai watch creatures which I guess is what people like these days?
I rather like the two bug pokemon, but the rest...
Pic related
Like so.
some are really good, but most are shit.
has 2 best pikachu clones and the moth thing is cool. rest of them are terrible though
I can't believe there are people that actually believe that these designs are good.
>inb4 muh gen 1 4 lazy designs
Were past that and atleast they weren't ugly, just very simple.
I mean
>that fish
>that dragon
>that bear
>that horse
The edgy pikachu and squirrel aren't that bad though.
Mimi is literally one of the best designs I've seen in a long time.
Shit didn't mean to spoiler text everything
The bottom right is not that bad. Everything else seems overdesigned and/or gave weird color schemes and shapes.
I like he midle top a lot, but not as a pokémon design.
Why's pikachu up there with all the new Pokémons?
>another electric rodent with cheek things
There, I just saved Pokemon.
It's still alive after 20 years. It's all fine.
Just keep playing GO and R/B/Y on the Eshop, it'll be as if there are no new pokemon
Those are all great but the bear though.
I agree with you
I would have kept the bottom right too.
Nice! now just need 148 more to go
>Mimikyu lives its life completely covered by its cloth and is always hidden. People believe that anybody who sees its true form beneath the cloth will be stricken with a mysterious illness. People in the Alola region are convinced that you must never try to peek beneath its covering. Mimikyu’s health fails when it’s bathed in the rays of the sun, so it prefers to stick to dark places. It’s rumored that the reason it covers itself with a cloth is to avoid sunlight.
The rising popularity of Pikachu-styled merchandise around 20 years ago is the reason that Mimikyu makes itself look like Pikachu. In fact, this Pokémon is dreadfully lonely, and it thought it would be able to make friends with humans if only it looked like Pikachu.
I think it's just steel type
you don't
you grow out of it like everyone
if you don't like the new designs that means you're too old for pokemon
>not liking the based Horseshoecrabmon
...
Look better. It's exactly the opposite and at the same time a true lie. It's pretty clever considering that it's a recent gen.

>People complaining about Pokemon designs
>When they stopped playing years ago
Sup Forums never fails to disappoint
what makes pokemon shiteaters accept even the most atrocious designs? what kind of fanboyism is this? it should really be studied because no other fanbase is as happy at eating shit as pokemon fans
>you need to play the game to judge its designs
...
Mimikyu is actually really cool. First pokemon in a while that caught my attention through it's pokedex entry and design.
Every god dam generation of pokemon there's like 100 or more new ones added and only about 15 of them are ever actually decent. Mimikkyu being one of them this time round.
Pikaboo is great.
I think I like the horseshoe crab guy too.
They look fine
Fuck off
Don't you ever fucking reply to my post again. You sack of shit.
Yes, you do. Otherwise you have armchair """"experts"""" shitting on the game.
Most of them look fine aside from that fish full of colors, and that bear. The pikaclone looks like crap too, but pikaclones are always crap. And Mimikkyu is one of the best designs I've seen in the entire Pokemon franchise.
Looks like Pikachu to me...
Honestly, if you look at the direction of Pokemon designs from Gen 2 onwards, you'll see that the aesthetic went more cartoony a long time ago. More vibrant and saturated colors, body patterns (stripes, zigzags, spots, lines, squares, etc), and less realistic limbs/extremities have been a thing forever. Gen 1 Pokemon designs are clearly an outlier in context with every other Gen.
You could change out Bruxish with something like Ariados or Umbreon or Poltoed and wouldn't feel out of place whatsoever.
My personal opinion is that Gen 6 finally got too out-there with their designs, and that Gen 7 is looking REALLY good so far.
please tell me that fairy bear is not named beary, or barry, or bairy
I'll not hear a word said againstmy new best friend
I like its typing, Ghost/Fairy sounds really cool
good taste
It's called Bewear
Have really good end game content
I'm liking a lot of the new ones. The bear and the pink/yellow fish are the only ones I dislike. Everything else is either okay or good.
its traditional now, just accept it or ignore it.
By realizing it has never needed saving to begin with.
As someone who played safire and was unimpressed, I realized the game wasn't my taste but also saw it never had any inherent flaws to design serious enough to rewok its structure or majorly affect balance.
3 or 4 meh designs will not kill pokemon. Accept its already damn good.
The bear is supposed to be a generic Teddy bear that likes to hug people
However it's like 7feet tall and doesn't know it's own strength so it accidentally hurts them
Kinda terrifying tbqh
Im just waiting for the new Fossil Pokemon, those have had consistently good designs in my opinion.
>how do we save pokemon?
Scrap every generation except the first one. Diversify the battle rules, with up to 3vs3 pokemon at one time.
The designs are visual though. You literally don't have to do anything other than look at them to judge them accurately.
Other than Cradiliy... I agree. They were always my favorites despite the Rock-type bullshit.
I'm loving the new designs though
>Genwunner
Opinion discarded.
If we're going to scrap generations at least keep 2&3 as well
That's before the designs started to get a bit iffy. Especially on legendaries. Gen 4+ was still good, just different
dirty dumb genwunner scum
>yfw it sucks shit even in casual
even Cradiliy. after seeing the animal that inspired it.
also you know there is a reason that all the fossils have the rock type right?
What are you talking about? You can clearly see Pikachu there.
Dumbfuck.
With the amount of attention it's getting, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it an evolution, if they didn't intend on him having one already.
>3vs3 pokemon at one time.
We already have triple battles you dumb shit. They were introduced in B/W.
>that pikachu fake
>it's basically a Froggit
lol
I'll use it anyway
the only 3 iredemible in that pic are the Trump ferret, that bear and maybe the old aunt fish. the rest are fine and I'll use the fake pikachu and the mosquito for my team
Because they were fossils?
nigga Cradiliy is the fucking best
I legitimately like that pikachu thing, don't know the name. Other ones are pretty forgettable to me. I don't think I'm getting S/M anyway, will see what the consensus is at release.
Retarded Tumblrtale poster
It took me the longest fucking tome to realize that the eyes on the head were fake and the real eyes aren't teeth.
>ghost pikachu
>American Pikachu
wow
...
Good thing I'll pirate this on release. After buying X and AS, I've learned not to trust GF anymore. Too bad BW2 was excellent and led me to believe otherwise
>fairy bear
it's just a bear dude. It gives bear hugs. Crushing bear hugs that snap things in two.
in future games, when Bewear is on four legs, people won't be so offended by it
>Leaves the dragqueen fish
>that rainbow fish
fabulous
>that type combo
>that ability
Would have to have BST of 350 or something
I am still mad there is no Z.
one of the new ones looks like a trilobite, it might be one of the new fossil pokemon
But it's bug/water, all fossil pokemon have had rock type.
I think it may be the new pseudo-legendary, considering how hard it will be to catch because of that ability.
cant be, its Water/Bug
all fossil pokemon have the Rock type
that one is bug/water so I don't think that is the fossil pokemon.
why is this allowed
We can't. Just let it die already. It wasn't even such a great franchise anyways.
But Kalos sucked user. Why? It was a bad mashup of Unova + Sinnoh. The only good things to come out of XY are customization + trainer videos
>another horse
So when do we get the porn?
>I'm uncomfortable with my sexuality
parrot fish are known to change gender from female to male.
A bug pseudo legendary.
personally I think bug is the last typing to get a pseudo legendary.
Also all pseudos untill now are dragons or dragonic well except for metagross since gen 3 had two pseudos for some reason and having 2 dragon pseudos in one gen is more than redundant.
Agreed, XY was not a good transition into a 3D Pokemon experience. The chateaus were nice but most of the region looked the same and therefore bland, they pushed the Pokemon design philosophy too far and we got some really ugly ones, and the post-main story content was extremely lacking.
I think that everything we've seen of Sun and Moon tells me that were extremely aware of all these issues and we're gonna get a much better Gen this time around.
I didn't play kalos, because I lost my preorder receit and the store didn't register me for some reason.
I didn't pay for it fortunately, but I figured that I should just wait for Z which never came.
Also if it is as bad as you say that is all the more reason for it to have a third version to fix that shit I mean look at platinum and emerald.
XY had some great designs though like Hawlucha and Tyrantrum. Same with Gen 5.
Each gen has some good designs and some bad ones.
