why did you guys complain? its hillarious
I don’t play any of the new games but I play radical red and I like most of the new monsters that have been added gholdengo is pretty good shitty design but he is strong
unironically I think the belt, expression, and body language/shape pushes it too far into the territory that Digimon usually hangs around in
something more amorphous would have been better for "coin monster"
there's too many things making it look like an individual rather than a species
>unironically I think the belt, expression, and body language/shape pushes it too far into the territory that Digimon usually hangs around in >something more amorphous would have been better for "coin monster".
You've got to be kidding. He's way too restrained. If it was Digimon he'd have about 20 gnarly belts wrapped around his body arms and legs. There'd be random breaks in the metal where blue or purple pulsating flesh is shown underneath and he'd have lizard eyes and sharp serrated fangs.
I'll never stop laughing at how I loved this fricker the moment it got leaked, and everyone turned their nose at what a godawful design they thought it was and how it was clearly a shitmon
WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, FRICKERS
This shit is supposed to be animated coins???
There is literally nothing in the design that indicates as much
What the frick is the belt even supposed to represent?
Why does it have fricking “hair”
Its unitonically worse than the fricking ice cream cone you cretin
yes, but no, HP now is about 300, TERA mons, needing to discard 6 cards ain't easy, specially when everybody runs a stadium that locks rule mons with abilities
It's very good, but it hasn't broken out as a TOP tier deck. It gets difficult to get together the energy to ko pokemon once they get into the 250+ hp range. It sort of lacks a lot of support to make it run really smooth. Particularly a deck centered around Chien-Pao has a somewhat easier time accomplishing a very similar strategic goal.
>and how it was clearly a shitmon
Where in the frick did you hear this?
We knew that the coin Pokemon was super busted (to the point that it got nerfed before the game even came out) because of a leaker
>be ghostgay >hear about gholdengo >filled with irrational disgust
i genuinely hope it isn't a sign of things to come since gen 9's designs were hit or miss in general
i think the point of the image is that the quoted anon is a fool, and this is displayed by showing the similiar designs in gen 5, but more unique (relative to the gen 5 mons) designs in gen 6? idk it's kinda unclear, and i don't really get the inclusion of emboar/greninja at the bottom either. and some of the comparisons seem pretty apples to oranges.
>clefable's original design looks like a fat, egg-shaped fairy with big whirly tail and big horns/ears >the rework now puts her in a fricking spacesuit, significantly decreases the size of the tail and the horns/ears, as well as give clear distinction between her head ends and the torso begins

They didn't "pad out" the dex with them because those are different forms of the same mons. It would be padding if they made them separate species like Nidoran.
Because it's supposed to be Spain and they're famous for their pork. You gotta have a pig pokemon for Spain just like you gotta have a mongoose pokemon for hawaii.
Spain really is not famous for their pork. That's like saying England is famous for their dogs or China is famous for their ducks. When people think of Spanish culture, they think of gay little dances, bull fighting, smelly brown people, being the laughing stock of Western Europe, and paella.
But anon, dogs are treated better in Britain than anywhere else and have the biggest dog contest in the world and the Chinese are in fact known for their breeds of and recipes for duck, also Spain is indeed notable for its pork, so your examples are pretty poor

god I fricking hate this golden gay so much fricking hazard stacking is such degenerate bullshit
Can't even bring in Great Tusk on this homosexual because he just clicks Psychic
>this guy is a powerhouse
It's not so much that he's particularly strong. He hits hard and is reasonably fast, but none of that matters.
What matters is that he is a steel/ghost type unaffected by defog, which means he can block all forms of entry hazard removal.
This means the most dominant team style in gen 9 is basically just building a team that stacks entry hazards, removes heavy duty boots (item that blocks entry hazard damage) and sends in this homosexual every time the enemy tries to remove hazards.
It's very degenerate and Gholdengo should not exist.
You can tell Game Freak just did not give a shit about 6v6 Singles when designing like half of the exclusive moves/abilities this gen. Of course some of them are overtuned even in Doubles (like Flutter Mane), but a massive amount of the stuff banned in Singles is considered either just "fine", underwhelming or even outright shit in Doubles.
It's telling that the one thing that has VGC players up in arms the most is the combo of a Pokemon introduced in Gen 8 and a Pokemon introduced in Gen 5.
>You can tell Game Freak just did not give a shit about 6v6 Singles when designing like half of the exclusive moves/abilities this gen.
The only time they tried to balance shit was in Gen4, they gave up completely since then.
The game is the most balanced it's been ever. Nearly every new Pokemon was at least viable in Series 1. Just because some get a little power crept by stronger ones, doesn't mean they weren't designed with a competitive niche in mind.
VGC is even more of a mess than singles this gen. They just have different issues. Smogon singles is still shit, but way better than VGC currently. It's a dire state the series is in.
I follow both and I can tell you that this was an outlier. Top mon Usage has peaked in like the 50% or so range for every tourney since and we're seeing a healthy amount variety of both meta and off-meta picks and sets turn up in Top 8s. Last one had a Perish Song Flutter Mane make to like 5th and a Regieleki made 2nd after being considered washed since HOME.
The tourneys with more diversity are unironically the outliers. It's not as bad as Gen 8's restricted meta, but not much is worse than sword dog + bara cat.
Make it Rain is a good move, but he'd be fine with just Flash Cannon. His stats could be worse and he'd still be incredibly strong.
What makes Gholdengo good is what he is, not what he does.

most numons are overtuned as frick for competitive, making all older pokemon obsolete
Grimmsnarl, Corviknight, Ceruledge, Armarouge, Coalossal, Revavroom, and Arboliva are a couple of my personal favorites from the past two gens.
Honorable mentions to Hisuian Avalugg and Hisuian Zoroark since they technically aren’t new Pokémon.
He's also core in the most fun deck of the current TCG meta
since the Pokemon TCG is one where two players play a table of Solitaire where the one who preps up his bombs faster wins, might as well run a discard deck to burn through most of your deck
I bought some pokemon cards with a friend and we made decks thinking it was like the pokemon TCG on gameboy
Holy shit were we ever wrong
You plow through your goddamn deck as fast as humanly possible to get your combo off and then you do that over and over
It's fast and cheap but holy shit the vast majority of cards are absolute trash.
Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is my favorite Pokemon game.
There, I said it.
My first one was Emerald when I was a kid, then I played Platinum and Heartgold.
Never touched anything after that.
After playing Violet I will honestly never be able to go back to the old formula

Not him but the gym base and titan levels should scale with how many objectives you've already completed. Then you have more effective freedom to take on different challenges in whatever order and have them always be relevant to your power level. If you disagree you're a mega-moron.
SV is a step in the right direction with this but it needs to actually commit and also be less buggy. Gamefreak probably too lazy to design what is effectively 8 varying teams per gym in an 8-gym region though.

If the game pretends to be open world then yes, it should absolutely have level scaling so I can actually do shit in any order I want, unless it's actually just a GTA-style hyperlinear piece of shit, in which case the "open world" is pointless.

That's true of basically every gym leader that isn't Normal type or the 1st gym leader. The coverage moves always end up doing shit for damage because a non-STAB 40 base power attack can be shrugged off even by underleveled Pokemon weak to the attack.

Once per battle and for one Pokemon only at the start of your turn when picking moves you can change your type to your tera type. You keep your original type damage bonus and get the damage bonus for the new type as well. If you use a tera type that is the same as one the Pokemon has already then you get extra bonus damage on that type.

Yeah, but it's the same situation as Lance and Red except Lance can play Pokemon a little unlike Geeta. Then after that you do a bunch of other stuff and fight the actual "Champion" of the game in the paradox place. I think it was Red anyway, the not Ash guy.

He's ghost because the gimmighoul coins that he's made of individually are haunted coins. I think it's a reference to Spanish doubloons being popularized as "cursed gold" in many pirate related media like pirates of the Caribbean for instance, I think they should have made Gholdengos design more pirate like to drive that idea home.
Ironically the coombait cat is easily the best of the current starter batch. The crocodile is a cool concept but looks awkward as frick and the bird is a straight up abomination.

These new designs are fricking terrible. I miss when they had creativity, back when they were things like "pokeball, but upside down." Or when evolved forms were "the same, but more of them."

>sup. i look like an object invented entirely to capture...myself. i am something children want to pick up, and i will fricking explode, if agitated even slightly
i mean, im posting this to point out how fricking inane the statement "original pokemon made sense", but its only just now im realising how fricking based some of the first generation pokemon were
>UHHH BUT VOLTOBR WAS ALSO AN OBJECT????
yeah i know, i just think gholdengo looks like shit.
Gimmighoul was a much better design than this, this looks like a brass statue of that shitty 00's apple jacks mascot or something
Zoomers will genuinely try to tell you that there's nothing wrong with this design and that it's pure nostalgia telling you the old ones were better. Yes, they're that fricking stupid.
Well, it's way more of a "pocket monster" than a lot of the regular animals from Gen 1 and 2.
Also, Mr Mime, Jynx, Hitmonchan, etc. are all way worse than this.
The game wouldn't have been worth it if I couldn't discuss it with my brothers, but it still had some good tracks. Also man, someone at gamefreak really likes emotionally unstable older sister types.
What is with gaijins and seething over objectmons? They literally can't grasp the concept of animated objects. Is it because they don' have any kind of myths or folklore involving objects moving or getting possessed ion their culture? The Nips have yokai so this kind of thing is absolutely normal for them.
Wanna see my Pocket Monster instead?
no
Frick that other guy, I do want to see it anon 🙂
have a nice day disgusting homosexual
Digimonbros. Its time to rise up. Pokemon are weak and they aren't even cute anymore.
name one good digimon game
Angewoman does dallas.
When did Pokemon become a groomer franchise?
I think this would look fine with short wings instead of arms and normal bird legs.
>he doesn't like the gay brazillian dancing duck
Sylvandro from Dragon Quest
Literal narcissist homosexual and worst character in that game.
literal homosexual detected
>narcissist
He's one of the most selfless characters in the game.
Have you seen how exotic birds act IRL?
When they noticed people were sexualizing anthropomorphic pokemons and they started banking on it to drive sales up.
The first Doujinshi that got someone in legal problem, was about Ash fricking Pickachu, so...No
Pikachu isnt anthrophormofic
While the outcast nerds who played it grew up physically, they never grew up mentally,
>send it out
>her rear is facing me all battle
yeah shake that birdy ass for me, babe
>her
>gets a male starter
sorry for your loss
Still a better design than the fire starter line lol.
I just realized but aren't starters becoming exclusively humanoids since a while ago now?
They've been jobmons for several gens now. It was most blatant in gen 6, XY, but it steadily became consistent at this point.
yep
bout as consistent as digimon becoming knights
We already went over this with Primarina, soft-reset for a female you absolute twat, then you have a cute bird gf shaking her ass for you.
idgi why chucks seethe at this mon
it's an exotic bird doing his mating ritual or whatever
meganium stiill isn't topped as shittiest starter design chikorota is still cool tho
It's a samba dancing peawiener
And? Doesn't make it look any less moronic
It's not moronic, you're just uncultured.
Carnival looks fricking stupid generally anon. Not even that guy it just looks dumb.
Imagine being both GAY and UNCULTURED.
It's a stupid-looking aspect of the culture. If you like that then you're the uncultured one for having such low standards.
>I'm gay and uncultured
We know bro.
Maybe it should look more like an actual peawiener/peafowl inspired beast instead of some humanoid feathergay
>Maybe it should look more like an actual peawiener/peafowl inspired beast instead of some humanoid feathergay
That's a pheasant, you really are uncultured lmao
Peafowl are a type of Pheasant you fricking moron.

He's in.
jej
holy shit
For me it's twisted
I don’t play any of the new games but I play radical red and I like most of the new monsters that have been added gholdengo is pretty good shitty design but he is strong
unironically I think the belt, expression, and body language/shape pushes it too far into the territory that Digimon usually hangs around in
something more amorphous would have been better for "coin monster"
there's too many things making it look like an individual rather than a species
>unironically I think the belt, expression, and body language/shape pushes it too far into the territory that Digimon usually hangs around in
>something more amorphous would have been better for "coin monster".
You've got to be kidding. He's way too restrained. If it was Digimon he'd have about 20 gnarly belts wrapped around his body arms and legs. There'd be random breaks in the metal where blue or purple pulsating flesh is shown underneath and he'd have lizard eyes and sharp serrated fangs.
Honestly depends on the stage of evolution, he's not out of place for low-level digimon.
That's an actual problem for modern Pokemon, c**ts like Mimikyu are too unique to be species rather tan mythics or legendaries
machamp jynx mr mime exist since gen 1 so no
Isn't that the fricking cheese string mascot?
>Pokemon
>Pocket Monsters
>loose change is something one usually keeps in their pocket
>make a monster based on coins
Brilliant.
And they did one that was a set of keys as well… oh my god how could I not have seen it.
This might honestly be the most cringe pokemon design to date.
Isn't this the 1000th pokemon?
yeah
This thing is also one of the most broken powercrept pokemon they've ever added
Pokemon died when they added a transgender one to an old male trio.
>add a literal, undeniable troony to the game
>it's a literal fricking demon
IDK senpai, might be based.
Where in the shit did you get that enamorous was trans you schizo
His mind is completely broken by his obsession with trannies, he sees them everywhere he looks.
>Tell me you're a troony without telling me you are
See? You're hopelessly obsessed with trannies.
>le mindbroken obssessed chuddie
you know what they say about criminals at a crime scene
i dunno anon, i dont play pokemon but if it looks disgusting and painted up its prolly a troony
other anon might be sniffing these Black folk out
Boogie made me loose my fricking mind for this stupid thing
That's a Mario RPG boss
it's a turtle, anon.
They added an entire TYPE for trannies back in 2013. The writing was on the wall for almost a decade prior to Enamorus existing bro
At the least he canonically 41%'d 🙂
You realize she's 100% always female, right?
I'll never stop laughing at how I loved this fricker the moment it got leaked, and everyone turned their nose at what a godawful design they thought it was and how it was clearly a shitmon
WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, FRICKERS
This shit is supposed to be animated coins???
There is literally nothing in the design that indicates as much
What the frick is the belt even supposed to represent?
Why does it have fricking “hair”
Its unitonically worse than the fricking ice cream cone you cretin
The belt is so it can hold the chest it used to live in as a Gimmighoul
The hair is supposed to fit a radicool design since it's a surfer bro
I don't play either but yeah, very strong card
I can see him being a bunch of coin rolls glued together but yeah, I would probably never have guessed from the OP image.
>evolution method involves collecting 1000 coins
>wtf does it have to do with coins??
The hair is meant to be coins flying with a trail behind them
i don't play the pokemon tcg but
>draw 1 or 2 extra cards each turn
>discard extra energy cards for direct damage
that's busted strong right?
yes, but no, HP now is about 300, TERA mons, needing to discard 6 cards ain't easy, specially when everybody runs a stadium that locks rule mons with abilities
It's very good, but it hasn't broken out as a TOP tier deck. It gets difficult to get together the energy to ko pokemon once they get into the 250+ hp range. It sort of lacks a lot of support to make it run really smooth. Particularly a deck centered around Chien-Pao has a somewhat easier time accomplishing a very similar strategic goal.
>that's busted strong right?
No.
But you know what is really OP?
This
>and how it was clearly a shitmon
Where in the frick did you hear this?
We knew that the coin Pokemon was super busted (to the point that it got nerfed before the game even came out) because of a leaker
i dont play the card game but that looks like an instant win card once you get it into position.
>make it rain
Is this shit real? This has to be the most racist Pokémon card ever.
>card
Anon, Make it Rain is Gholdengo's main move.
>be ghostgay
>hear about gholdengo
>filled with irrational disgust
i genuinely hope it isn't a sign of things to come since gen 9's designs were hit or miss in general
Gholdengo is my favorite gen 9 pokemon, hands down.
Good thing anything past X&Y is not canon
xy isnt canon which is why they dropped z
All this shit started in Gen 3. Gen 2 if you include Shinies.
>Clawitzer and Dragalge are the same
Are you legitimately stupid?
i think the point of the image is that the quoted anon is a fool, and this is displayed by showing the similiar designs in gen 5, but more unique (relative to the gen 5 mons) designs in gen 6? idk it's kinda unclear, and i don't really get the inclusion of emboar/greninja at the bottom either. and some of the comparisons seem pretty apples to oranges.
>magnemite/magneton
>diglet/dugtrio
>grimer/muk

Just from the top of my head
Gen 5 genuinely had better designs than Gen 6. I say this as an oldgen-only GOD
>newgen versions of oldmons completely change their designs
>oldgen version of a newmon just changes the artstyle and colors
>newgen versions of oldmons completely change their designs
No it doesn't
>clefable's original design looks like a fat, egg-shaped fairy with big whirly tail and big horns/ears
>the rework now puts her in a fricking spacesuit, significantly decreases the size of the tail and the horns/ears, as well as give clear distinction between her head ends and the torso begins
(You)'re baiting me, aren't you?
That's exactly what Clefable would look like if it was released in 2019
>[FANFICTION]
Done.
And the others?
Nidorino is the least disingenuous, I concede that.
Clefable is the Moon Pokemon. How can you not get why it is put in a spacesuit?
>Gen 5 genuinely had better designs than Gen 6
nice copium
Why does this use the anime pikachu design instead of the modern game design, it's noticeably different
Because, in spite of that official art, the modern games explicitly use the anime design with the prominent and separated baby-like head.
anon, fentanyl is the only real drug
its so funny how easy it is to tell that the bottom left is real and bottom right is fake. I dont even play pokemon.

They didn't "pad out" the dex with them because those are different forms of the same mons. It would be padding if they made them separate species like Nidoran.

He cute
Because it's supposed to be Spain and they're famous for their pork. You gotta have a pig pokemon for Spain just like you gotta have a mongoose pokemon for hawaii.
Spain really is not famous for their pork. That's like saying England is famous for their dogs or China is famous for their ducks. When people think of Spanish culture, they think of gay little dances, bull fighting, smelly brown people, being the laughing stock of Western Europe, and paella.
>Spain isn't famous for their pork
Laughs in 1,300 dollar Jamon iberico
google prosciutto
But anon, dogs are treated better in Britain than anywhere else and have the biggest dog contest in the world and the Chinese are in fact known for their breeds of and recipes for duck, also Spain is indeed notable for its pork, so your examples are pretty poor
this. dogs in britain get dental work. thats more then any british person could expect in their entire life
>Spain really is not famous for their pork
when i went to spain i randomly found an entire shop dedicated to selling only jamón, which i'm not sure there's a specific term for in english.
pricey as hell too, considering that food there was pretty cheap
>jamón, which i'm not sure there's a specific term for in english

So this is just confirmed official sexual tension between children? There's no other weird lost in translation cultural differences going on?

Reeeeeee
god I fricking hate this golden gay so much fricking hazard stacking is such degenerate bullshit
Can't even bring in Great Tusk on this homosexual because he just clicks Psychic
Apparently this guy is a powerhouse.
>this guy is a powerhouse
It's not so much that he's particularly strong. He hits hard and is reasonably fast, but none of that matters.
What matters is that he is a steel/ghost type unaffected by defog, which means he can block all forms of entry hazard removal.
This means the most dominant team style in gen 9 is basically just building a team that stacks entry hazards, removes heavy duty boots (item that blocks entry hazard damage) and sends in this homosexual every time the enemy tries to remove hazards.
It's very degenerate and Gholdengo should not exist.
You can tell Game Freak just did not give a shit about 6v6 Singles when designing like half of the exclusive moves/abilities this gen. Of course some of them are overtuned even in Doubles (like Flutter Mane), but a massive amount of the stuff banned in Singles is considered either just "fine", underwhelming or even outright shit in Doubles.
It's telling that the one thing that has VGC players up in arms the most is the combo of a Pokemon introduced in Gen 8 and a Pokemon introduced in Gen 5.
>muh meta
>pokemon
homie you a gay.
>You can tell Game Freak just did not give a shit about 6v6 Singles when designing like half of the exclusive moves/abilities this gen.
The only time they tried to balance shit was in Gen4, they gave up completely since then.
The game is the most balanced it's been ever. Nearly every new Pokemon was at least viable in Series 1. Just because some get a little power crept by stronger ones, doesn't mean they weren't designed with a competitive niche in mind.
Sorry, I fricked up. Balancing OldMons with NuMons* the Phys/Special split revitalized a lot of old mons.
VGC is even more of a mess than singles this gen. They just have different issues. Smogon singles is still shit, but way better than VGC currently. It's a dire state the series is in.
I follow both and I can tell you that this was an outlier. Top mon Usage has peaked in like the 50% or so range for every tourney since and we're seeing a healthy amount variety of both meta and off-meta picks and sets turn up in Top 8s. Last one had a Perish Song Flutter Mane make to like 5th and a Regieleki made 2nd after being considered washed since HOME.
The tourneys with more diversity are unironically the outliers. It's not as bad as Gen 8's restricted meta, but not much is worse than sword dog + bara cat.
>Lando-T
>Tornadus
Healthy Meta you got there, at least Thunderbro took a vacation.
>alt misdreavus above le genie of healthy meta
God damn how busted is she?
vgc meta is far from settling. watch hisui arcanine creep up into 40%.
>he's not strong, he just has a broken ability, a broken signature move, a great typing, and decent stats
Make it Rain is a good move, but he'd be fine with just Flash Cannon. His stats could be worse and he'd still be incredibly strong.
What makes Gholdengo good is what he is, not what he does.
most numons are overtuned as frick for competitive, making all older pokemon obsolete
Gholdengo doesn't make anything obsolete. It is completely unique in what it does.
What are some good Nu-Pokemon?
the paradox ones
Grimmsnarl, Corviknight, Ceruledge, Armarouge, Coalossal, Revavroom, and Arboliva are a couple of my personal favorites from the past two gens.
Honorable mentions to Hisuian Avalugg and Hisuian Zoroark since they technically aren’t new Pokémon.
Corviknight. I thing sword dog is cool but I forget its name. The shield one just looks dumb.
Sex with Tinkaton!
Zoroark
why does this pokemon cause such seething, yet the garbage bag pokemon and keychain pokemon do not?
they all look ike shit
Well this one is #1000 meaning it's meant to be some special ass mon celebrating pokemon getting this far and GO.
Because I have nothing against objectmons as a concept, I just hate this one's design.
Garbodor caused 13 years of seething, what are you on?
who cares about pokemon when pokegirls exist
why did you post tanned Youmu Konpaku then
Sexo
who cares about humans when pokemon exist
sweaty
He's also core in the most fun deck of the current TCG meta
since the Pokemon TCG is one where two players play a table of Solitaire where the one who preps up his bombs faster wins, might as well run a discard deck to burn through most of your deck
I bought some pokemon cards with a friend and we made decks thinking it was like the pokemon TCG on gameboy
Holy shit were we ever wrong
You plow through your goddamn deck as fast as humanly possible to get your combo off and then you do that over and over
It's fast and cheap but holy shit the vast majority of cards are absolute trash.
Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is my favorite Pokemon game.
There, I said it.
My first one was Emerald when I was a kid, then I played Platinum and Heartgold.
Never touched anything after that.
After playing Violet I will honestly never be able to go back to the old formula
The QOL in Violet compared to GBA/DS games is life-changing
Just means you have no taste.
Pokémon has been full on zero effort mode since SuMo and you homosexuals just keep lapping it up.
How do I "keep lapping it up" exactly?
I didn't play any Pokemon game for 10 years, last one for me was Heartgold before Violet
By not only spending money on, but praising those godawful Switch games.
Cope, they are the best in the series
Shut the frick up Fabio Martini

This would be wonderful if:
>The game ran above 20fps
>The game didn't look like you upscaled it from a GBA screen
>The world wasn't absolutely fricking empty.
>Gym, base and titan levels scaled so you could actually fight them in any order.
>Gym, base and titan levels scaled so you could actually fight them in any order.
That just defeats the purpose of giving you the option since you get the same experience anyway.
Not him but the gym base and titan levels should scale with how many objectives you've already completed. Then you have more effective freedom to take on different challenges in whatever order and have them always be relevant to your power level. If you disagree you're a mega-moron.
SV is a step in the right direction with this but it needs to actually commit and also be less buggy. Gamefreak probably too lazy to design what is effectively 8 varying teams per gym in an 8-gym region though.
As opposed to an open world game with a fixed level curve that defeats the purpose of being open world?
How? If you want to challenge yourself you can fight the stronger opponents sooner.
>The game ran above 20fps
Why the frick do you need more than 20fps on a fricking turn based gameplay
>The game didn't look like you upscaled it from a GBA screen
It looks great when playing handheld, the only correct way to experience Pokekino
>The world wasn't absolutely fricking empty.
NOOOOOOOOOO WHY CAN'T I ENTER SOME NOBODY HOME AND HAVE HIM SAY TO ME THE MOST USELESS SHIT
>Gym, base and titan levels scaled so you could actually fight them in any order.
Imagine wanting fricking level scaling in a game in 2023
Great arguments you have there
Concession accepted, Unova Black person.
>pretending gen 9 doesn't have $30 dlc even doe it's already $60 for each game
>Why the frick do you need more than 20fps on a fricking turn based gameplay
For the fricking open world exploration you moron, battles are the one thing in the game that doesn't play at 20 fps.
>It looks great when playing handheld, the only correct way to experience Pokekino
Why should I play on a fricking handheld when I'm sitting in front of my 50 inch tv?
>NOOOOOOOOOO WHY CAN'T I ENTER SOME NOBODY HOME AND HAVE HIM SAY TO ME THE MOST USELESS SHIT
What kind of insane extrapolation is this? Who gives a shit about houses? I want something to do in the overworld besides pick up pokeballs and see the abyssmal draw distance.
>Imagine wanting fricking level scaling in a game in 2023
If the game pretends to be open world then yes, it should absolutely have level scaling so I can actually do shit in any order I want, unless it's actually just a GTA-style hyperlinear piece of shit, in which case the "open world" is pointless.
Samegay.
>>Gym, base and titan levels scaled so you could actually fight them in any order.
Wait, S/V didn't have level scaling? What the frick. What's the point of it being open world then? Just for its own sake?
Now your only options are
>follow the prescribed path
>do later gyms early so the other leaders become complete jokes
>Wait, S/V didn't have level scaling? What the frick. What's the point of it being open world then?
Everyone has always hated level scaling in open worlds, maybe?
I'll wager more people are playing Skyrim right now than Scarlett/Violet
>Wait, S/V didn't have level scaling? What the frick
Yes, Game Freak actually made a competent decision for once.
>>do later gyms early so the other leaders become complete jokes
As opposed to gen 5 where ALL the gyms are complete jokes?
>As opposed to gen 5 where ALL the gyms are complete jokes?
Cool whatboutism, Black person. Try again.
Open world is just an excuse for you to come back with type advantage for people who are bad. It's even an option for most of gen 1 just not to the extent of the entirety of it.
>for people who are bad
I haven't played since XY but isn't difficulty completely neutered? Are there actually hard gyms in the game assuming you're not woefully underleveled? How can someone be so bad at the simplest turn based game on the market?
>catch drifloon
>fighting type gym leader literally xannot touch you
It was a pretty funny time. They even gave you KANTOOOO starters with free mega evolutions
Gen 9 gym leaders are even more of a joke than usual. This is the final gym leader in the game, for example.
god he's cute I want to frick him
I fought him with my Pokemon in the mid lv30s so he was one of the most challenging gym leaders in the franchise for me
If GF was moronic and put level scaling in the game like unovagays want he would just be another forgettable piss easy gym leader like all the ones in gen 5 and 6
and in exchange you had another gym battle that was forgettable and piss easy because you fought them out of order.
If the game was linear literally all of them would have been like that. Get a better argument unovagay.
isnt the black lady last?
I love how Tera allows gym leaders to have unique final pokemon.
It's the only good battle gimmick they've come up with
>strong STAB of primary offensive stat
>decent coverage on each member aside from Frosmoth, who uses it for setup instead
If you legitimately think that this is much worse than the last gyms of earlier games you're either nostalgia-blind or delusional, especially given that 3 moves isn't that much worse than 4 move but one is so useless not even the dumbfrick NPCs will click it
>Strong STAB
You mean Blizzard? The move that never hits anyways?
>Decent coverage
That's true of basically every gym leader that isn't Normal type or the 1st gym leader. The coverage moves always end up doing shit for damage because a non-STAB 40 base power attack can be shrugged off even by underleveled Pokemon weak to the attack.
Blue, Claire, Wallace, Juan, Volkner, Iris, Drayden, and Marlon all blow Grusha out of the water. Even Raihan is superior to Grusha.
>You mean Blizzard? The move that never hits anyways?
In a gym battle where it starts off snowing because youre at the top of a mountain? Yes
>Iris, Drayden
The morons with 3 pokemon only and they use Fraxures? Nice job proving his point nostalgiatard.
>quick attack at level 46
>physical moves on fricking Jolteon
>Iron Tail when your worst threat is ground
>scariest move is giga impact
>quick attack at level 46
Yes. Priority moves are always useful. If you survived the last attack in red health, it can easily finish you off even if you're at +6 speed.
>Jolteon
Jolteon needed some coverage move since it has a notoriously shallow movepool without Hidden Power. Having a fast Thunder Wave abuser (in a generation where Electric types aren't immune to it) is actually a pretty decent niche.
>Scariest move is 150 base power
Jolteon doesn't learn shit, best special move he has, other than electric moves, is shadow ball from a TM
Now, that's a nice move, I don't know why Volkner doesn't have it, but other than that, not a lot you can do with that mon
A fast Rockchad just destroys this team.
>Tailwind
Okay, you need to stall for some turns but after that GG.
You don't need to stall at all. Frosmoth is slow and frail. You sneeze on it and it's down.
It's been a while, that moth thing looked kinda fast.
Less moves let's the devs have the AI more likely to use a given move, 1/3 chance vs 1/4
Was probably easier to do that that code specific conditions when moves would be prioritized by NPC trainers
Can we please let gym leaders use a team of 6 with 2-3 Pokémon of their types max rather than every gym leader look the exact fricking same? Maybe make a rule where the player can’t use a type in their team that resists their type?
I don't mind if they still made monoteams but is a full team with a simple and nice strategy would be nice.

turns your pokemon into that type and gives it STAB, if it's of a type it already is, then it gains additional STAB, it can be kinda fun and makes some Pokemon busted
Once per battle and for one Pokemon only at the start of your turn when picking moves you can change your type to your tera type. You keep your original type damage bonus and get the damage bonus for the new type as well. If you use a tera type that is the same as one the Pokemon has already then you get extra bonus damage on that type.
You know, I've been thinking. Do the S&V "gym leaders" count as exact equivalents to the gym leaders of previous games? Like the Elite 4 happens, but then after that you still go on to fight two more "Champions" and then after that you still have a while before the actual final boss. There's also the other Not-gyms with Team Star.
The Gym Leaders, Team Star leaders, and Titans cover the 18 main types. The implication is that you jump between them even if that's not forced upon you.
>but then after that you still go on to fight two more "Champions"
Nemona feels way more like a champion than Geeta.
>Nemona feels way more like a champion than Geeta.
Yeah, but it's the same situation as Lance and Red except Lance can play Pokemon a little unlike Geeta. Then after that you do a bunch of other stuff and fight the actual "Champion" of the game in the paradox place. I think it was Red anyway, the not Ash guy.
It's just kinda hard to draw a comparison, although I don't think the battles were fun outside of the Nemona and the Robot.
No way the final gym leaders has 3 of his pokemons knowing only 3 moves.
Technically you could argue that's the third last "gym leader" and that the actual 2nd last one has 4 four moves (but not the last) if we go by levels. Maybe not even that if we include Clive, Penny and guy with dog who have full teams of 6.
The gyms aren't hard, but the villain cars can get pretty moronic if you don't know what you're in for.

This funky fella is pretty great. Definitly not sure why he's ghost type though. There's been a ton of ghost that don't seem to quite fit lately.
He's ghost because the gimmighoul coins that he's made of individually are haunted coins. I think it's a reference to Spanish doubloons being popularized as "cursed gold" in many pirate related media like pirates of the Caribbean for instance, I think they should have made Gholdengos design more pirate like to drive that idea home.
further proof the series is beyond saving
What went wrong?
>Comparing official Ken Sugimori art to random R34 shit.
ugly vs cute
They gave up and coomers won.
Ironically the coombait cat is easily the best of the current starter batch. The crocodile is a cool concept but looks awkward as frick and the bird is a straight up abomination.
the stinky cheese man
What went so right?
not very much. Some good designs here but some real frickups, like the bland ass electric birds, copypasted pikaclones, and my mon's flamingo.

They should just make a pokemon game that take place in Southwestern US.
They did in Gen 3, you prostitute.
There is no such thing as a bad Pokemon design.
Klefki is pretty rough bruh. I think pokemon design peaked at farfetched though so my taste Is shit.
I just want to remind everyone that people are fapping to porn of this thing

Yes.

But what if he cucks us first and captures the new pokemon, and taunts us about it during the pokemon fight?

Based this is what a rival should be
I hate the passive rival trend that got started around Gen 5 with Bianca. Or arguably the rival in Gen 3 that never even fully evolves their starter.
I didn't change my team for Teal Mask but I am absolutely swapping in Ogerpon for Indigo Disk. I hope he'll have unique dialogue for it.
These new designs are fricking terrible. I miss when they had creativity, back when they were things like "pokeball, but upside down." Or when evolved forms were "the same, but more of them."
What banana mascot is this?

This, fug has always been there.

The designs have always been lazy moronic trash. Geodude? Wow cool. A homosexual rock with arms. Manemite? Wow cool. A homosexual floating magnet. Voltorb? Wow cool. A homosexual pokeball with a face. And so on.
>Magnemite? Wow cool. A homosexual floating magnet.
People need to stop shitting on my favorite Pokemon and start shitting on actual lazy designs like Grimer, Voltorb, or Diglett
It looks like some OC of an artist from twitter.
Well is made of pocket change.

That's a feature.
Is this what the kids call 'hittin' the griddy'?
That kinda looks like monster, at least more than other pokemon.

I hate this mindset and I've been in it since Blue.
>pocket monster is comprised of pocket change
heh
the same people defend nu pokemon shit designs are the same hate kanto pandering, kanto pandering is the only good thing this garbage series have, nintendo and the pokemon company know it, they tried with B/W and fialed miserably lmao
would people defend X & Y if they couldn't jerk the pokemons off
Switching from 2D to 3D was a mistake
I nicknamed mine Lenny.
Goddamn thats an old memory, thanks anon.
I still don't understand what the frick this evolution progression is.
it's a being made out of the 999 coins you collected for it
You can dislike the design but it seems easy enough to understand
he is a stack of coins in many directions but yeah he looks lame
Is it me or do battles in SV feel slow? Like there's a delay between the mon performing the move and damage being dealt or something.
You never would've survived Gen 4 if you think THAT'S slow.
Frick you for posting this. I had finally forgotten.
well the new designers areshit, yusuke kozaki a fire emblem artist known only for human characters in fe is doing the mosnter designs now, he lost his job in FE now work for pokemon
seems like he should lose his new job too
>Toxapex
>Falinks
>Cetitan
He can stay. The motor one would be cool without the eye though, but problably he didn't do that to not be confused for an UB.
Toxtricity, Fallinks, and Revavroom are based so he's okay.
Where do she carry her her pokeballs?
She has no backpack
her belt you freak
ass
When I see this thing I keep thinking its like some weird regional version of sudowoodo.
This is what Pokemongays get for riffing on Digimon evos for so long.
Why does Ganker act like this is their first time seeing these new pokemon when we have threads like these every single week?
sending a message
you still haven't giving me the source you frick
The newest generation of pokemon has a huge amount of fans
In 2005 this is a Pokemon, a so called Pocket Monster
that's an edit moron
There is not a single pokegirl better than Nemona.
It's not even close.
There's at least seven levels of powergaps between her and Hilda.
Is it possible to have a gold/money themed team yet? Meowth has a golden coin on his head and that's the only other one I know off hand. Maybe split to treasure and add Sableye and Carbink?

Nosepass is debatably not israeli where as Golurk is a literal israeli automaton.
not counting gens 1 and 2, which TWO gens have the best pokemon designs?
and overall which gen has the worst
>which TWO gens have the best pokemon designs
3 and 4
>and overall which gen has the worst

it should have been a israelite
I'm playing Arceus right now, and the game is surprisingly entertaining, but even on Yuzu it looks pretty bad. Pic related makes my dick diamond, no pun intended.
Irida is my wife!
She reminds me of May, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s a long distant ancestor of her
Does Irida hang around the beach?
pfft thats not a human baby in there
People will still pretend that the series didn't immediately go down hill after Gen 1.
It's a ghost possessing a stack of 1000 coins.
What's wrong with it?
bro, do you know how many of those monsters are even pocket sized. like, none.

Remember when people thought James Turner made this as a parting gift to Game Freak? His final two designs, Dondozo and Tatsugiri, are actually solid.
APOLOGISE.
No, this is still one of the weakest generations in terms of design behind Gen VIII. A lot of the evolutions are good and there's some solid ones in there, but you can say that for any generation.
Gen IV was peak pokemon. Physical/special split, bunch of new evos for old pokemon making them relevant again, great ost, best pvp in the franchise.
Ganker makes better pokemon creaures than Ganker
you think those look good? man, its grim over at Ganker
They look like creatures that live in a world like pokemons used to be before icecream and keys
i mean, sorta, lmao, yeah
That's someone's fetish which should be expected in an anime

That's what I mean by live in a world
>it's okay when gen 1 does it
listen kid if you're gonna regurgitate meme opinions, at least pick some that make sense
The key evolved inside people's houses. The icecream evolved on a beach.
>the key evolved in the one place you dont need a key
Do you throw your keys out the front door behind you when you get home?
no, i put them on a desk or on the kitchen counter or something. i dont need them at that point. ive literally already unlocked the front door, if im inside the house. you? your microwaves, bathroom door, fridge, that shit locked in your house?
>i put them on a desk or on the kitchen counter or something
...inside your house.
Ask yourself this. Does Voltorb take after ancient pokeballs, or are ancient pokeballs designed after him? When their species evolved over time, did he evolve specifically to match modern pokeballs as they progressed? Or did he evolve away from mimicry and humans made pokeballs in his image?
oh hey just refer to my post because i also made this
guess it didnt update. and comment on them just fricking exploding? whats the evolutionary explanation for just fricking blowing up, most likely in the hands of children
>...inside your house.
yes. where i will never use that key, ever. do you...walk to your front door, and use your key to lock...yourself....in? you...you dont have a latch, or anything?
I actually have no fricking clue what you're getting at, anon. Genuinely what is your point?
The point is that evolution in pokemon doesn't make sense under scrutiny, you have to give the benefit of the doubt to them all.
an animal evolving to take the shape of a key would most likely happen outside of a locked door, not inside a locked door. where...the key might...be...used...
>It likes to collect keys, particularly master keys, and will sneak into people's homes to steal them.
>It is said that Klefki's key-like appearance is the result of an adaptation to suit its habit of collecting keys.
That is where the confusion is. Klefki doesn't look like keys, it steals them. It unironically makes more sense than most older gen pokemon, it being an objectmon is well explained.
how does it put the keys onto the ring?
has this been animated?
The circle is his hands.
>past Klefki's found new sustenance in keys after mines dried up
>started hanging around places with keys
>over time they change to suit key stealing habits, interacting with locks, adapting to the environment in general, etc
>now they unintentionally give off the appearance of a keychain
It doesn't make perfect sense, but there's enough there to hand wave it away. I don't know how well other objectmons hold up personally, but they don't seem to be that well justified.
>i just go into houses and steal as many random keys, doesnt matter who, what, or where
>i literally evolved to fit those hard, long rods into my mouth
i mean id totally read that doujin, but thats sorta gay, dude.
Makes you realize that the fairy typing is justified for it too. Sounds like non malicious trickster behavior for sure.

what do you see in the sky on the right edge
its clearly a digital display
>Does Voltorb take after ancient pokeballs, or are ancient pokeballs designed after him?
I recall the rbgy lore saying that pokemon were a relatively recent discovery / phenomenon, so idk if we can chalk up voltorb's design to that
so gen 2?
well more recent lore has pokeballs made out of wood, and being like a few thousand years in the past.
So the icecream had a vore fetish and the key ???
Magnemite evolved to blend in, it did a piss poor job but at least it got the colors right because it does not want to be noticed
Some monsters don't need to hide from people.
Some monsters want to be noticed.
Some monsters just exist for no knowable reason, like Jinx.
Vanillite/ish didn't evolve from anything but are actually just living icicles that wished to not melt when they got hit by sunlight. The snow on their top halves are just a fashion choice because they don't like appearing naked. Vanilluxe is two Vanillishes stuck together after melting and refreezing together.
>The snow on their top halves are just a fashion choice because they don't like appearing naked
It's not even that. They sleep buried in the snow. It's literally just snow accumulated on them.
>sup. i look like an object invented entirely to capture...myself. i am something children want to pick up, and i will fricking explode, if agitated even slightly
i mean, im posting this to point out how fricking inane the statement "original pokemon made sense", but its only just now im realising how fricking based some of the first generation pokemon were
Gholdengo is based and one of the few good mons from that shitty generation. You could even say he's as Good as Gold.
>UHHH BUT VOLTOBR WAS ALSO AN OBJECT????
yeah i know, i just think gholdengo looks like shit.
Gimmighoul was a much better design than this, this looks like a brass statue of that shitty 00's apple jacks mascot or something
pokemon designs went to shit when they retconned them being monsters and turned them into animals.
Zoomers will genuinely try to tell you that there's nothing wrong with this design and that it's pure nostalgia telling you the old ones were better. Yes, they're that fricking stupid.
Sex with Goldengo
>Verification not required
Well, it's way more of a "pocket monster" than a lot of the regular animals from Gen 1 and 2.
Also, Mr Mime, Jynx, Hitmonchan, etc. are all way worse than this.
This is literally just my aunt's pile of haunted treasure.
Area Zero theme is a bop and one of the few good things about gen 9 outside of my wife Nemona.
The game wouldn't have been worth it if I couldn't discuss it with my brothers, but it still had some good tracks. Also man, someone at gamefreak really likes emotionally unstable older sister types.

How is the belt even staying up? It's below the widest point of the hip.
Magnets
whoop whoop
What is with gaijins and seething over objectmons? They literally can't grasp the concept of animated objects. Is it because they don' have any kind of myths or folklore involving objects moving or getting possessed ion their culture? The Nips have yokai so this kind of thing is absolutely normal for them.
That belt looks like a black censor line. Also my captcha is JAVNDS
