she’s the best boxart mon and easily one of the most memorable pokemon on the series
she’s mesmerizing and mysterious aura pokemon she deserves her attention 100%
>DUDE LET'S DRAW THE MOST GENERIC CARTOON ANIMAL EVER BUT ADD RED BECAUSE ITS FIRE LMAO
probably the most blatant example of a pokemon only being popular because of its artificially inflated stats and scarcity and nothing else.

I don’t like any of them look creepy
Fine, ill do it myself

maybe in bw, but in b2w2 you can just catch one around the time you get to driftveil. dunno about sm and swsh, but larvesta is just a random encounter in the desert area
getting a good look at the art made me realize that the black circles on its wings are reminiscent of the sunspots found on the actual sun, which is a neat detail and fits with its dex entries that describe it as an embodiment of the sun. thanks for giving me this chance to appreciate it!
What? It goes the opposite of how a cartoon moth would look. Drawn with fluffy texture, eyes are not suitable for expression emotions, no mouth, and so on. There are examples of cartoon bugs from Mr. Bug goes to town.
Ben 10 is one of those faux-japanese shows that were popular in the 2000s. It isn't used as represent of what world like "cartoon" are used to mean since it is atypical. Using Pokémon analogy, it would be calling Gyarados Pokemon-like despite being a massive sea creature with a decidedly not cute appearance and complex design.
not really >generic, overdesigned
what does this even mean? "generic" colloquially implies something that's completely bland, interchangeable, nothing memorable about it - it blends completely into the background, but if it's "overdesigned" then how does it fit a clashing descriptor into it? >edgy, cartoon
based on how I've seen this place use "cartoon" derogatively, how does edgy fit into this? people here think "cartoon" means anything that's really (intentionally) silly or goofy looking, but then why would you slam "edgy" (what I assume would be something trying to be the stark opposite) onto it as well?

Yeah, so you've never watched a Saturday morning cartoon.
He looks like a vapid "cool" moth monster meant to be sold as an action figure with no forethought of how he'd exist in the real world.
Slap the little green Omnitrix symbol on Volcarona's tummy, turn his eyes green, and he'd look indistinguishable from the Ben 10 roster of alien transformations.

Not that homie but for the life of me I'll never understand the dudes who get so bent out of shape over this, the first game had ghosts, dragons, piles of sludge, animate objects, borderline humans, and plain weirdfrick goofball creatures like Lickitung, but this is the ONLY place I've seen that thinks that Pokemon was grounded in quaint realism (even weirder too considering the amount of Pokemon that are just ripped from Japanese mythology to begin with).

I like a bit of realism in pokemon but anon is being ridiculous in say that a moth... is unrealistic
I guess ill post this >haha isnt it so funny my favorite pokemon is a forgettable route 1 rodent? >no I cant just like a cool dragon for being cool I am post ironic lol
>another unimpressive dragon legendary
Rayquaza is THE dragon legendary. It pioneered the trope. So what if its ability isn’t particularly useful? It makes total sense relative to the other members of the Weather Trio. Would you rather they gave all three of them Pressure like in Sinnoh? BooooRING!
Everything about it. People massively overhype it and it's shiny form even though there are better third legendaries like Giratina and Necrozma, simply because it's baby's first.
>better >like Giratina And Necrozma
Ah, so it is a bait thread >simply because it's baby's first
First what, third legendary? That's definitely what makes Rayquaza popular, being a third legendary
Mewtwo mogs Giratina and Necrozma too btw, but you've never caught one so you wouldn't know
>B-BAIT!!!
Nice copium. >First what, third legendary?
Yes, thanks for pointing out what I already said. >Mewtwo mogs Giratina and Necrozma too btw
And Rayquaza.
This reminds me of someone who drew an Impedimp humanization with big breasts when it was first revealed, and then the species ended up being entirely male.
Hey don't lump Venusaur with the other two, 'Saur had a useful type and stats and didn't require Gamefreak bending over backwards to buff it the way they did to Charizard.

Lucario has done greater damage to this franchise than Reactworld did to the Fine Bros.

Right. It's generic, edgy, overdesigned cartoon garbage that belongs in some edgy kids show garbage like Ben 10 or Young Justice, not Pokemon.
Ben 10 is one of those faux-japanese shows that were popular in the 2000s. It isn't used as represent of what world like "cartoon" are used to mean since it is atypical. Using Pokémon analogy, it would be calling Gyarados Pokemon-like despite being a massive sea creature with a decidedly not cute appearance and complex design.
>generic, edgy, overdesigned cartoon
this doesn't make sense in conjunction with each other
Too young for saturday morning cartoons I take it
not really

Best HM slave albeit
Also it's uninspired.
i just like moths 🙁
Anon you've never seen a moth and it's showing.
Yet Volcarona doesn't look like that.
I'm sorry about your crippling blindness.
Mimikyu
What makes it overrated? I think it’s deserving of the praise it gets
it's another unimpressive dragon legendary with middling speed and no ability, as if there aren't like a dozen others
>another unimpressive dragon legendary

And Rayquaza.
Nobody cares whether it's a third or not, that's a strawman
Mewtwo > Rayquaza >>> Necrozma > the dirt > the worms in the dirt >>> Giratina
Cringe take
Cringe gen
Didn't know Giratina was a gen 7+ mon
Rayquaza is appropriately rated.
This reminds me of someone who drew an Impedimp humanization with big breasts when it was first revealed, and then the species ended up being entirely male.
They're not overrated. You just have abysmal taste.
Still waiting for the overrated mons.
