Meowscarada, Skeledirge and AZUMARILL?
KEK Duckkeks lose again
But seriously tho is it really THAT unmarketable?
Ah yes the 3 Paldea starters
Meowscarada, Skeledirge and AZUMARILL?
KEK Duckkeks lose again
But seriously tho is it really THAT unmarketable?
Quaxly and MAYBE the middle stage are fine.
Last evolution just fricked them over.
Based, that gay ass duck abomination was the biggest mistake in the series
kek. based
next time don't make one starter incredibly shitty and ugly on purpose just to give another an artificial push
Why don't they support the underdog more?
>Chandelure beats most shillmons
Why are people still fixated shitting on the Unova dex?
>people
Redditards, discord troons, and yawntard aren't people.
Wow, I didn't know Redditors, Discord Troons and Yawngay teamed up to make it look like Japan utterly adored Chandelure from the very beginning!
Very insightful, impressive how they collectively had millions of disposable income to buy Chandelure merchandise to make it seem more popular than it actually is. Such an epic gotcha moment!
I like gen 5, but the Japanese fanbase's inexplicable deep affection for random 'mons like Chandelure and Alcreme doesn't really do anything to change western hearts and minds. Most western fans loathe Serperior. They're wrong, but pointing out that Japanese fans like Serperior isn't going to sway them.
Play Realidea System anon. Its water starter is literally that.
>eevee is more popular than pikachu
>multiple pikaclones are more popular than pikachu
pikasisters... it's over.
Pikachu is too vanilla.
lol how many times has a grass starter been the most popular of the 3 in a region aside from Unova (Alola I like to think Rowlet and Incineroar were on equal footing according to marketing)
Nobody would buy quaquaval merch
Why?
Human shape pokemon only sell if they're cool (croc) or straight men/women would frick them (cat). Duck is neither.
>Skeledirge
>Human shape
>straight men
Furries aren't straight. Zoophilia is a mental defect.
>on twitter the reception was mixed
>irl the reception was overwhelmingly negative
Kudos to the journalist for publishing that. I’d add that Soldier 76 was the most played character at the time, and I’m sure that had NOTHING to do with why he was marked for gay revision. He is no longer the most played obviously.
fricking look at it, man
>Recolored croc le ba-ACKKKK
Skelehaters BTFO
Those shizos even worships Blaziken, when the duck starter TPC refuses to touch with a ten foot poll is a water version of it
First Nosepass AND now Azumarill
Duckcucks can't stop losing
quaxly got an entire line of merch for itself moron
Keyword: QUAXLY
Not Quaquaval anon
Topkek. Azumarril IS better than gayduck in SV. Better moveset, better Abilities, timeless design. Gayduck has none
even rillaboom didn't get shafted this hard
Grookey is still marketable
The duck was fricked from the start
I wonder if the designed of the gay duck got ass raped and banned from Pokemon
homosexuals are not marketable in china
they got wienery after rowlet, didn't they. they thought they could just do whatever the frick they want with the evolved form as long as the basic form lends itself well to merchandise
>rowlet out of nowhere
Remember gayseal?
don't call it gayseal i'll bite your fricking lungs out of your chest
Why even creating these at this point? it's clear that nobody want to acknowledge them
Samurott, Serperior and Typhlosion don't belong there
Name 10 times any of these ugly shitmons got shilled
2 of them were just in Legends Arceus anon
Serperior is almost a guarantee for Legends Z-A
Two of them got replaced by better version forever in PLA you mean
>Samurott, Serperior and Typhlosion don't belong there
True. Typhlosion is good and Samurott and Serperior are the worst designs in the franchise, deserving a special tier of hell all their own.
Serperior isn't that bad. Just sucks on in-game playthroughs
Gen2 starter were intentionally designed to be neglected and hated to make KANTOOOOOO look better as punishment for a Johto being a “sequel”. (Notice how game freak has never made another sequel region again)
Gen5 starters are part of Masuda’s Magnum opus
The rest are just laziness.
meds. now.
>Masuda’s Magnum opus
More like magnum flopus lol
Johtochads always win.
The fact the croc was only good starter really should've been the reddest flag for me
I can't wait for gen 12 where they just only give you one starter option and then also put it on every single team on the game
>The lazy cartoonified crocodile has animalfrickers and reddittors
>The tuxedo mask waifucat has coomers and furries
The duck has nobody
I thought the duck would have the gays
gays like waifumons like the cat and seal. Duck was trying to get the inceleon yume audience.
>gays like waifumons
Fellas is it gay to have a waifu or lusting over pokemon that look like girls?
>Arboliva
>Armarouge/Ceruledge
>Palafin
These are the real Paldea starters.
I wanted a badass sailor duck
Frick you Gamefreak
>Quaxly is know for being a flamboyant-ish duckling that take care of his haircut
>Yet there are literal morons out here who believed it was going to be a pirate/sailor
Stupidity really is a dissease
Did I miss the part where it was illegal for swashbucklers to have fabulous hair or something? I get why GF didn't do it, but it's quite understandable that Conquistadors where the first place most people's minds went when they thought, "Spanish region starters".
because no one actually thought it would be a gay duck
Expect Quaxly as a starter in a legends games aka replacement design.
no thank you
It's moments like these that make me wonder why in god's name they create designs like that.
As an one off shitmon fillerdex? Okay, sure, whatever. Not everyone can be hits. But it's a starter. They're the most forefront most pushed mons every generation. How in gods name did the duck get approved?
I really do not understand how this franchise works anymore. It's like if everyone's doing their own thing on their little corner than it's all get packaged up half-assedly at the last minute. There's no coherency or unity to be seen anywhere.
have to wonder, who design the gay duck? like why?
Bayonetta's character designer iirc.
I just looked through her credits, and not a single one listed Pokemon as something she worked on
*Correction. I found her working on Pokemon, but nothing specific and they also included Detective Pikachu and the anime in that
