I don't believe in the fake government owned religion of science and science priests called scientists, therefore dinosaurs aren't real and OP is based and redpilled.
Dinosaur autist here,
While you are partially correct, Sauropods would NOT bend their legs like that, on top of that, the way the Raikou claws are make it seem like the bottom of the foot is the foot, and not the digits. Sauropods walked on their digits and also generally didn't have elephantine toes or anything, especially the later ones which would have probably had no claws on their front limbs at all besides the thumb. Raging Bolt's forelimbs should probably instead be more pillar like, as is, trying to imagine where the toes would be, I don't understand how the claws could end up where they are.
First of all, Raikou's placement can be described simply by having vertically extended digits, creating a "false toe" look with its claws.
More importantly though, this post completely falls out the window when you consider that the Paradox mons are based on pop culture depictions of dinosaurs, not scientifically accurate renditions of one. It's like how Baxcalibur takes clear inspiration from Concavenator, despite having the posture of a Showa era Kaiju. Pokemon are highly stylized, not anatomically accurate. It gives the impression of a sauropod leg, and thats all that matters.
I said this in a different thread. GameFreak has people that has studied their biology.
OP too but he forgot about the one animal this shit was inspired on.
Man, there really are no good posters here anymore. Just shills desperate to dunk on people that can't even threaten Game Freak so they can feel like they're doing something.
>Pokemon takes liberties with it's basis' anatomy
No shit sherlock. No one was saying it was a 1-to-1 recreation of the leg (the massive felid claws should've immediately made that obvious), we were calling you out on completely ignoring the basis in the first place. Hoothoot's anatomy is completely fricked in terms of real world bone structure but nobody acts like it ISN'T an owl.
>multiple people call you out on your moronation >one of said people uses a pronoun that indicates that it is indeed multiple people who disagree >HIVEMIND
Difference is, that when hoothoot's anatomy is simplified it looks natural. Raikou doesn't. It looks like his foot is fricking broken.
>Raikou doesn't
Given that you're literally the first person I've seen b***h about the front legs, even among people who've called the design shit, I'm inclined to say most people think that at least that aspect looks perfectly natural.
You literally believe things are true or false because multiple people may or may not say so. You are literally an npc that doesn't believe in logic or emperical evidence. So yes, you might as well be part of a hivemind.
>ou literally believe things are true or false because multiple people may or may not say so.
No, I think the legs look fine regardless of whatever people think (if anything it's the head I take issue with). I'm just pointing out that you're also a massive outlier in thinking the legs look unnatural, even among the crowd who dislike it. It's not argumentum ad populum if the greater argument doesn't hinge on the populist aspect of the given point.
Because like you, hardly anyone has focused on the legs, but the more obviously ridiculous parts. This thing's existence has been known for almost 8 hours. But examples have been provided on how it isn't even a sauropod leg:

Like was said earlier It follows the general structure, even if it isn't 1-to-1, and the problem with the OP image is that it didn't even consider said leg structure before rushing in to critique, thus making the subsequent attempts to retroactively do so in wake of people pointing this out look like desperate cope.
It's front legs take cues from the skeletons of Brachiosaurs first and foremost. That's undeniable, and the fact that you're acting like it's some big inaccurate stretch to point that out is ridiculous.

It looks unnatural regardless of his initial point BECAUSE it isn't seen in whatever this Pokémon is inspired by. Which is the entire point. It looks fricked, like everything else about the mon, but people are now going to pretend it looks natural because they already had their opinion decided before even being aware of the leg.

This statement is ridiculous on it's face given a massive chunk of this series' designs are taking irl creatures and exaggerating/warping their features to serve the fantastical setting. Real horses don't have horns and fire running down their backs, real tapirs don't stand on two legs and have functional fingers, real pterosaurs didn't have a massive lower jaw and devil tails, etc.

Difference is, that those Pokémon combined the different features well, such that it looks natural. But if you for example make a gigantically heavy pokemon, but you give it stick-legs to walk on, then it looks unnatural and silly because the Pokémon wouldn't be able to walk around comfortably.
Similarly, the reason Raikou looks wrong is because it has bones bending the wrong way, making it look extremely awkward for it to walk around comfortably.

This is where our opinion differ I suppose, because I've always though Aerodactyl's underbite looked moronic.
Nevertheless, I think this entire argument is just going to turn into "nuh huh yuh huh" because the basis of it (the leg structure looks unnatural) is inherently subjective. I'd rather just cut if off here

Op i think its fair to say you’re a pretentious piece of shit and you should never draw again
no counterarguments, only ad hominem attacks. I guess i win this argument.
Lmao actual cope at this point. Nobodues countering you BECAUSE your "arguement" was taken behind the shed and shot dead from the first reply. At this point you can only defend with non arguements and others will only laugh at (you)
>taken behind the shed and shot dead from the first reply
I know this is the most eventful moment in your life currently, but you need to calm down, wipe your eyes, and actually look at the OP image VS the first reply.
you're free to tell me which version of Raiku's fricked up legs you prefer. The one with the detached Scapula, or the one with the twisted Humerus/Radius joint.
You clearly didn't won anything except a looser anus.
As for RB being a sauropod or not. It is based on one, so sauropod legs.
"B-but cat face and claws".
Because it is a fictional creature BASED on a sauropod, not a fricking real one. Real animals also don't shoot lightning bolts, anon.
If the design decision was to combine a feline creature with claws and paws with the legs of a fricking sauropod, and the end result looks like it is in constant pain, then they have the right to do that. And I have every right to say that it looks fricking ridiculous.
It's knees are literally reversed dude. It looks like it was frankensteined together by a toddler. If it's not in pain then it's because it's in denial. Like the rest of the thread.
>and the end result looks like it is in constant pain
That's every single paradox, half of them were designed by a kid and the other half by artists in the middle of an expedition 200 years ago.
>meganium, a sauropod, has sauropod legs >tropius, a sauropod, has sauropod legs >aurorus, a sauropod, has sauropod legs >wtf why would raging bolt, a sauropod, have sauropod legs???
Hybrid animal designs are way better than just "cartoon animal but with an element." A sauropod/feline hybrid is cool to me as was whatever suicine already was mixed with a raptor.
I get what you mean, OP. If Giraffe Raikou’s leg was oriented more vertically, it would look better.
And I also think its shoulders are too round and bulky.
I saw you trying to pull this shit in another thread but I let it slide because I don't really care what your autism decides to fixate on. But now that you went out and got btfo in your own thread too I'm here to laugh at you. Let it go, moron.
I mean at the end of the day, the problem is that the legs look like shit, so its a matter of trying to justify them looking like shit by finding animals that have similar leg structures, and then not, meaning they just look like shit to look like shit.
>it's not inaccurate to the sauropod anatomy! >ok, it might be inaccurate, but it's meant to be that way, it's just a mix of different animals >alright, it looks moronic to mix two animals with completely different anatomies, but you're dumb for thinking this much about a game for toddlers! Cope and seethe!

Ohnonono imagine being OP right now. Better delete the thread before the humiliation reach a melting point

stop digging your own grave, op
Show me a picture of a full skeleton of the dinos posted ITT, I'll wait.
That's right, they don't exist.
Cope, seethe, dilate, have sex and sneed.
Yeah, you clearly have the front, then the down, then a bit more front, and then down for the bone direction in those front legs.
