What the fuck happened to this franchise?
Pokemon should have died instead of turning their animal-like designs into...this.

It got better.
Woah, Pokémon sure has changed guiz
Nothing
You are just a nostalfag with bad taste and you cannot appreciate the great designs of SuMo
Ftfy
The pokemon have gotten too Japanese. No longer are they RPG monsters, they have turned into uber Japanese god creature things
...
Both look great
only the legendaries, which has always been the case, you still have good ol monster designs
I want to be a pokemon and get fucked by my trainer so bad
My penis disagrees.
the pokemon from the newer gens are absolutely worse, this is apparent if you know any basic philosophy of design, but you can't talk about this without mouth breathers popping up and shouting "GENWUNNER!!!" at you all day

Okay, you tell me what makes good monster in my pocket design, no really, enlighten me.
pokemon nowadays have way more personality than they did before, not only that, but they display greater biological knowledge and diversity, shit like mareanie and toxapex, or shit like lurantis, there are a ton of cool animals that are getting pokemon designs and I think its great, and most of them are comptently designed, with a few duds now and then, but thats just me
This, but unironically.
Anyway, what are the odds that this Pokemon Switch thing is a fully 3D (behind the back) mainline title?
I'm going with 5%.
Really fires up the ol' coals in my head
Same anons, I'll legit be any side of pokephillic sex.
I just love it...
and the best part about alola is that most of the animals actually made sense for the region, and a lot of them are inspired by Hawaiian creatures, also agree on the personality and design, plus UBs are actually really cool concepts, and I hope they expand on them
please tell us what a good pokemon design is without rehashing fucking arcanine, ninetales or the legendary birbs
Gen7 has a lot of mons with deviant art tier eyeball designs. They just look like garbage. Lycanroc midnight form, for instance.
How are sun and moon not fully 3d?
Non isometric
Sludge with DBZ eyes is sooo much better.
The problem with Pokemon isn't that the new designs are worse, it's that the game design hasn't even changed.
It's that they've remade the same game a total of like 15 times. The first couple were cute, "Oh it's a Sentret instead of a Ratata, a Hoothoot instead of a Pidgey", but now it's just disgusting. Every game has it's Ratata and it's Pidgey, and so on and so on, and I don't understand how anyone isn't sick of the same formula over and over each generation.
Only way I'd buy another is if they made one with plenty of pokemon from all regions, rather than mainly having the new ones in the new games almost exclusively until post. There's more actual variation between COD games than successive Pokemon gens.
I'm sure he means something along the lines of as open at botw but with Pokemon or something, where's that pic from a couple days ago?
Sun and moon are not isometric in the least. What are you on about?
fatshrew is actually pretty cool
>DBZ eyes
You mean normal eyes for that art style? Shit like Lycanroc midnight form is indefensible garbage.
designers probably became furfags somewhere along the line
also they moved further away from realism, making the design and worldbuilding less convincing, partially due to less availability of inspiration
also something about creativity peaking in early 30's
I need cropped lewds
What's wrong with it? It looks like a werewolf, which seems to be the thing they were aiming for.
I want to creampie ANY pokemon's tight slit!
This. Can't say that however without NuKemon shills screetching.
...
>SANDshrew
>covered in ice, living in a snowy area
This is the only Alolan form that pisses me off
>newer gens are worse
how is Golisiopod objectively worse than Mr. Mime? I'll wait.
Moved away from realism? Are you high? In the world and trainer designs this is true, definitely not for the monsters.
fans dont know what they want. remember when sumo got shit for DARING to remove gyms and now everyone is lamenting that they are coming back in Ultra?
Oh, is this the thread where people complain about a series that they don't actually play?
Its so interesting how Sup Forums reacts to Pokemon. Its one of the few series that you people screech about and demand it changes to cater to your needs, with retarded ideas like HURRRR IT NEEDS TO GO FULL OPEN WORLD or DURRRRRR WE NEED TO GO BACK TO GEN 1 STYLE POKEMON DESIGNS.
can we all agree that this is when pokemon peaked?
Hi blunderfag, haven't seen you since school started for the kiddies. Can't wait until someone doxxes your stupid ass.
snow is just cold white sand
...
>quantity is more important than quality
The people who want a game with every region are absolutely retarded. Do you think GSC is the best because it had two gutted regions instead of one good region?
Cutfags btfo
At the very least I think the crop of pokemon in Gen 7 are more interesting than gen 6
>sumo got shit for DARING to remove gyms
Mostly of /vp/ approved and loved the aproach before the games were released
The eyeballs look fucking retarded is what's wrong with it.
>dissing on ThunderBlunder
don't you have school user?
So you bought both XY and SM then because they both did exactly what you described
most pokemon from the first generation are pretty close design-wise to living things. as a kid you could imagine pokemon existing in real life, it wasn't too far of a stretch from the imagination. i mean...rattata, pidgey, you get the idea. they were designed reality.
I love Ghost Robin Bird.
Gen 7 is literally all specific animal bases and a meteor, fuck off
Cause they were originally from hot areas but migrated to snowy areas where they evolved.
You grew up. That's literally it.
You can't keep a single game or franchise new and exciting forever, you can't play the same fucking game for 40 straight years. When you got older you were supposed to get a job and responsibilities, not spend all day lamenting the changes to a japanese kid's game.
>I know i have no argument but pretend you don't as well so it's fair.
>magnemite
>grimer
>voltorb
>mewtwo
>jynx
fuck off
>most pokemon from the first generation are pretty close design-wise to living things.
You can say that about every single gen, though. Most are based on real life animals or objects, or around mythology from our world. Even the alien UBs resemble pests and invasive species.
>get a job and responsibilites
But I don't want to be a boring wagecuck.
OP BTFO
Then why didn't ponyta have the same eyes.
...
When I see a Sandshrew posted in a pokemon OP, especially praising that Sandshrew, you get a post in your thread and a (You) from me.
>magnemite, a literal magnet
>grimer, literally sludge
>voltorb, a literal pokeball
>jynx, a literal black person
Mewtwo is an exception, but everyone loves him.
No you can't.
You can say that there are animal inspired mons in every gen. You can't say that the bulk of newer mons are animal inspired; and the reliance on just making some animal into a humanoid has become commonplace.
I can forgive the ultrabeast designs, they're supposed to be some eldritch looking shit; but there are too many pokemon in the last 3 generations that look like people in animal masks or that simply look like nothing in particular.
>greentext
>cherrypicking one reply
looks like you lost
Why do they need to migrate to a cold area when there's a desert right next to it?
Who said they needed too?
Maybe they're hipsters
>No you can't.
Yes, you can. Tell me which gen had mostly shit that wasn't inspired by real world animals, objects, and mythological figures? Just because something is bipedal doesn't mean it is "unrealistic" for the Pokemon world, or your argument fails for the first four gens as well.
Oh wait, you can't, because you don't play Pokemon.
Nah man. fish with horn that becomes a bigger fish with horn. never got any better than that.
Ponyta has generic animal eyes; the black dots. Muk has normal people eyes, which make it appear more sentient. Seeing as Muk is sentient goop, it fits.
Guys, guys. Pokemon is and always has been terrible.
Also theres a form for this
Look at seel always makes my back hurt
Forgot pic
But Pokemon is better than your favorite monster-catching game.
Digimon? Fucking dead.
Monster Rancher? Fucking dead.
Yokai Watch? Fucking dead.
Now it only has Monster Hunter Stories as competitor.
FUCK YEAH OLD MEMES
Honestly I'm really only salty about Fairy type being added as late as they did, allit really did is fuck the meta
At least Dark and Steel added some relatively cool new Pokemon to Gen 2, all we really got from Fairy was the gayest Eeveelution yet, while elevating other Pokemon that were already good (Gardevoir) to new levels of "fuck you".
After 100 wins in a row he sets off for his journey, although is never seen again.
:(
Sylveon is amazing you pleb, my shiny one is a glorious monster that shreds plebs using M-Salamence.
Oh that takes me back
I beat him in Pokemon Yellow. What a gay.
DON'T MISS THE DALLAS MOWER EXPO
When they switched from Gameboy Colour to Gameboy Advance they got carried away. Ever since then Pokemon have had a tendency to be really, really overdesigned.
Only animal fuckers would be mad about this. It's a good thing they are taking the actual good ques from Digimon and giving us humanoid waifu pokemon.
This design is a winner. Went right into my favorite poke spot, Heracross is second now.
Prove it you fucking faggot. Here are all the gen 6 monsters that are mostly based on animals or have minimal human influence in their designs.
As you can see it's the grand majority of them.
I wanna be a Gardevoir (male) and get fucked by my trainer's other Pokemon so bad.
SMT
Actually, the new digimon rpgs are selling well, aren't they?
I like different ideas they can use with pokemon. There's only so much you can do with animal designs until you gotta think of something else.
Tapu Fini best island guardian.
>You can't say that the bulk of newer mons are animal inspired
you absolutely can and the series is only getting more and more specific with its inspirations
to list just a few, gen 7 has
>a coconut crab that turns into a yeti crab
>a bee fly (I'll admit losing its proboscis was lame)
>a reverse diving bell spider
>a mata mata turtle
>a reverse orchid mantis
>a crown of thorns starfish
and going bipedal has nothing to do with the design basis
You do make a valid point. I always liked the Digimon show more, but in terms of games yeah it's super dead. Digimon World 1 and 3 and Rumble Arena are the only good games I've played.
I think the problem is with proportions. The heads are often too small for the bodies, they look like plushies.
Nothing really. At least with gen 7 they gave us some amazing bug types to make up for only one line in XY.
I still hate your faggoty Madoka cat or whatever the fuck it is
I've autistically used a team of Pokemon who have Psychic in their types (Alakazam, Slowbro, Eggexcutor, Medicham, etc) for the past few years and I couldn't find one move on a team of 6 Pokemon that was SE when I played this one meta-abusing asshole I know
>A series spanning 20 years and 4 handheld generations along with huge leaps in grafix technology experiences an art shift
I mean the original pokemon sprites before the updated versions hit the west looked completely different too. Much more savage
>Make a pokémon based on an animal
>LITERALLY MY MOM'S DOG POKÉMON IS DEAD!
>Make a pokémon not based on an animal
>WHAT THE FUCK WHY ISN'T IT AN ANIMAL POKÉMON IS DEAD!
>Retards still not realizing Pokémon has had both fantastical and reality-inspired creatures since its inception and nothing changed
Fuck off retard
>large irises to indicate innocence, cuteness, harmlessness
>small irises to indicate sneakiness, cluelessness, aggressiveness
someone hasn't taken cartooning 101. also this
