I don't even wanna argue about this anymore, just look at this shit and tell me it looks good. Out of all the ways to depict a drummer motif using a fricking gorilla as base you choose this?
lmao this is worse than I imagined. what if the opponent just knocks the drum away? does it spend all battle constantly picking up and putting down its "drumset" as it moves?
It's not, I hate Conkeldurr's design too.
But this whataboutism argument sucks. Other Pokemon also sucking doesn't mean the one being discussed is instantly better.
keeping track of one bone is way more sensible than

its comparable to rillaboom holding onto just one drumstick. That would be easy to fight with and keep track of. You can move and attack freely while carrying one thing. It's the fact that it has to stand still to set up the drum, and ready its two sticks every time it wants to attack with it that looks clumsy
The anime handles it clumsily. It basically rushes back to its drum set when it wants to use its signature move, and runs around the battlefield otherwise. Most of its “battling” outside of its Gmax is also shown in stills too. It’s a pokemon they actively didn’t want to animate.
It’s even worse; it just teleports to the drumkit with reused animation because the animators either couldn’t figure out how to make it fight properly or didn’t care.
The funniest part is this makes more sense (kinda) than Rillaboom carrying around a literal drumset.
The drums are made of wood, if you’re so deadset on having a drumset just have it grow a new one whenever needed instead of carrying it around. It’s like they thought “we want a drumming gorilla” and then made the worst design decision possible at every step along the way.
at least conkeldurr is only holding two objects, letting it run around without leaving anything behind. the gorilla, on the other hand, can't run around holding both its drumsticks and drum
It's the fact the drum has to grow and shrink to even be portable at all. They didnt give a frick, they just really, REALLY wanted a pokemon with a drumset for some reason.
A drumming gorilla is simply an idea that doesn't work well in practice as it does in theory.
Rillaboom's stump is awkward, but making it just beat its chest defeats the purpose of making it a drummer to begin with.
Agreed.
And this is even more awkward, how is Rillaboom supposed to play the drums on its fricking shoulders?
Game Freak really needed to give the whole line another go and rethink the whole stick beating concept.
My schizo headcanon is that they were just really strapped for time when designing it, with Zarude being some repurposed scrapped final for Thwackey. >doesn’t appear until the end of the anime >SWSH prototype was shown to be incredibly preliminary even less than a year before the first trailer and any idiot can clearly see how rushed the game was >only mythical in the gen is just another grass monkey, sharing the same bands/markings on its body as Thwackey
Even drum beating as a move isn’t nearly as visually impressive as pyro ball or snipe shot.

Gorillas literally drum on their own chests and they do shit like this
Rillaboom using a drum it pulls out of its ass for jobmon bullshit instead of just beating on its chest like a gorilla would do is so fricking weak and pussy-esque.
This. Rillaboom is a good example of a small change making a huge difference. Otherwise we get pokemon that are ugly and literal cartoon animals like the kalos dex

So much this. Pokemon are way better when they're literal cartoon humans!
You'd think Rillaboom would be an easy concept: gorillas beat their chest like drums so they could've made the drum a subtle part of its body. If you wanted to be more on the nose, let him carry a huge ass stump drum that he plays with his hands.
>a gay wearing fursuit
that's literally Rillaboom >b-but it's a gorilla!!
it's an anthropomorphised gorilla to look and fit the human stereotype of being a drummer and no real gorilla has its anatomy

People miss one important fact.
RIllaboom line is all about fastgrowing plants and using them in battle.
Rillaboom fastgrowing stump makes sense.
The IDDLE animation however is stupid. It should have been using the drumset only when using grass or sound animations.
Either have the drum tree stump sprout from the ground in front of her as part of the attack animations, or have her drum directly on her pecs/belly/shoulders.
it's on its back
I don't even wanna argue about this anymore, just look at this shit and tell me it looks good. Out of all the ways to depict a drummer motif using a fricking gorilla as base you choose this?
I mean you said out of nowhere, I just pointed out you were wrong.
lmao this is worse than I imagined. what if the opponent just knocks the drum away? does it spend all battle constantly picking up and putting down its "drumset" as it moves?
>it’s ok when conkeldurr does it
at least he uses the cement shits to fight rillaboomer can only use it's signature move with it
Conky don't need them.
Neither does Rillaboom.
That screenshot of Rillaboom beating Aurorus can go straight to Hell.
It's not, I hate Conkeldurr's design too.
But this whataboutism argument sucks. Other Pokemon also sucking doesn't mean the one being discussed is instantly better.

Sometimes it'll put the drum down, sometimes it'll carry it on its back, sometimes it'll carry it with it while it fights
Example of it flipping around WITH the drum
That's cool, now post the scene of it's defeat.
So satisfying to look at
High Horsepower is just the Pokemon glowing brown and tackling? Couldn't it at least do a donkey kick like the game animation implies?
They completely cucked and shitted all over Alain in this episode.
Rillaboom keeps its drum stored inside its ass.
It's a literal asspull.
at least conkeldurr is only holding two objects, letting it run around without leaving anything behind. the gorilla, on the other hand, can't run around holding both its drumsticks and drum
It looks like shit
It's the fact the drum has to grow and shrink to even be portable at all. They didnt give a frick, they just really, REALLY wanted a pokemon with a drumset for some reason.
Fricking for real. It’s a gorilla! They had every opportunity for its drum(s) to be like wooden chest plates that it could beat LIKE A GORILLA
GameFreak is so fricking moronic I swear to god
That's a moronic idea, that would look imbecilic in both the gameplay and the anime.
ha ha yeah awkwardly pulling out a drum and standing next to it is so much more natural and cool
What a brain-dead opinion. You should watch things other than Pokémon.
Agreed.
A drumming gorilla is simply an idea that doesn't work well in practice as it does in theory.

>Game Freak really needed to give the whole line another go and rethink
i mean.. they already did but it was cooler than the shillmon
My schizo headcanon is that they were just really strapped for time when designing it, with Zarude being some repurposed scrapped final for Thwackey.

>SWSH prototype was shown to be incredibly preliminary even less than a year before the first trailer and any idiot can clearly see how rushed the game was

’t appear until the end of the anime
It appeared around the midpoint though, Go has a dream about it.
Gorillas literally drum on their own chests and they do shit like this
Rillaboom using a drum it pulls out of its ass for jobmon bullshit instead of just beating on its chest like a gorilla would do is so fricking weak and pussy-esque.
>implying it still doesn't look like total shit even without the drum
/thread
just compare it to primeape and slaking
>weird round pig monkey
>weird fat sloth monkey
then this thing that is literally just a normal gorilla covered in leaves, shitty just like those recolored gen 5 monkeys
>NOOOOO YOU CANT JUST MAKE THE POKEMON INTERESTING IT HAS TO BE A LITERAL CARTOON ANIMAL
So interesting it's liked by no one like morons such as (You)?
This. Rillaboom is a good example of a small change making a huge difference. Otherwise we get pokemon that are ugly and literal cartoon animals like the kalos dex
I get what you mean, but that doesn't mean that any addition that makes the pokémon not a cartoon animal anymore is inherently good
So much this. Pokemon are way better when they're literal cartoon humans!
it was more interesting as a cartoon animal
It would have been fine if it was just an attack animation, it just looks really awkward as the idle pose.
You'd think Rillaboom would be an easy concept: gorillas beat their chest like drums so they could've made the drum a subtle part of its body. If you wanted to be more on the nose, let him carry a huge ass stump drum that he plays with his hands.
there's nothing to ruin in the first place, it's an awful design through and through
>troony obsessed freak
>Rillashit defender
I feel like there's a connection
You are a dumb furry who wants every pokemon as a gay wearing fursuit like Cindisgrace
>You want pokemon to actually look like monsters instead of recolored anmals
Correct now you can have your (You) rillaboomer
Gas yourself, subhuman furry
Go outside and see actual animals, moron
>Gas yours-ACK
>a gay wearing fursuit
that's literally Rillaboom
>b-but it's a gorilla!!
it's an anthropomorphised gorilla to look and fit the human stereotype of being a drummer and no real gorilla has its anatomy
it's ruined because it looks like a black person
RillaBlack person fricking sucks
I've yet to see a Rillaboom fan that isn't a baragay or a memegay that can only speak in terms of and post monkey related images
>makes furgays butthurt
based
pic related
read
>l-le baragay starter totally make the furrgays mad goys
that’s some next level moronation right there
I wanted a cool monke
They ruined it with the job
At least I have pansage in the old games
*completely mogs pansage*
That's the thing, the pre evos actually work, the evo ruins it with a job
Monkey drums his chest or slams floor with a tree to make sounds is better than pulling a drum out of his ass
Jobmons, especially starters were a mistake
Rillaboom is the only jobmon looking jobmon
Still the best gen 8 starter design.
Terrible bait really
thats not a hard hurdle to pass

You are a repressed transexual
