>Pokemon based off a carnivorous plant that eats bugs
>is weak to Bug
Wtf were they thinking?
They should've made it Grass/Steel to mitigate the Bug and Flying damage. The teeth could've been blades or some shit.
>make a pokemon that’s just a cartoon version of thing from real life because the designees ran out of ideas
>it’s a boring shitmon
many such cases
And there's many such cases of 0eoplr like you being a twat.
You mean like Seel and Dewgong? Pidgey's line? Rattata? They do that shit every gen, cock ass.
>They do that shit every gen
The point is that they shouldn't.
If dunsparce got an evolution I think there is hope for this one too
Wtf were they thinking with the Dunsparce evolution?
It's like they're mocking their own fans.
I think dunsparce is a joke mon so it got an evolution that keeps the theme going. DUdunsparce, *bu dun tsss* it’s not funny to me so it’s wasted potential imo
carnivine doesn't need an evolution, his design is already perfect
Give it a pre evo then
Every regular pokemon needs to be part of a line. Non-legendaries that don't evolve are boring and I refuse to use them
that could work. slap him in an early route and you've got a serviceable mid-tier mon.
you could do that for a lot of forgettable single-stagers.
While we're at it give it an ability or moves that makes it OP against bug and flying
HA Flytrap: The pokemon with this ability is immune to
damage caused by bug-type moves
Move Quick Jaws: 70 This movement does double damage to pokemon of type-flying or with levitate ability, ignoring resistances
How about a signature grass type biting move that’s secondary effect is doing SE damage against bug type, less bloat.
>give a shitmon a pre-evo
Literally fucking why?
Give it a fucking evo to make it better, not make it worse
We haven't seen a pre-evo since gen 4. I think they stopped making them since they keep shooting themselves in the canonical foot with it.
Pre-evos are fucking stupid
Either give it a regional form that improves the original mon or just give it a cross-gen evolution
Pre-evos only became stupid after gen 3. Gen 2 was fine.
>look! you can hatch Snorlax and Marill eggs!
>oh wait, those aren't their baby forms
>you need a special item if you want Munchlax and Azurill, though
It's been reconnected man, your baby Snorlax is a thing of the past, accept Munchlax in your heart.
Coming soon Miltank/Tauros prevo, the calf that will break the internet
>Coming soon Miltank/Tauros prevo, the calf that will break the internet
It would be funny, only because the males would evolve into a semi-realistic bull, while the females would evolve into this goofy-looking bipedal cartoon cow.
Also there is a tyrogue-esque feature where if the atk equals def both male and female become bouffalant
>It's been retconned
Didn't know that, I stopped playing after gen 7. I actually welcome this change, I've always felt that retroactive pre-evolutions were too mechanically cumbersome.
What I did know is that Eevee can now evolve with the Leaf and Ice Stones, to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon respectively. Now if only it could evolve into Espeon and Umbreon with the Sun and Moon Stones, or the Shiny and Dusk Stones. Shiny and Dusk Stones seem awfully redundant, now that I think about it.
Many of the new evolution mechanics are fun at first, but I think that in future generations they should be simplified, and to not feel so forced the change, justify a bit with the lore.
For example, you can say that the leaf stones and Ice stones are extracted from Sinnoh mines or in the case of Sylveon that the Shiny stone when given as a gift increases the happiness of a pokemon, for Umbreon and Espeon it is enough to say that their stones are meteor remnants that store solar/lunar energy.
>For example, you can say that the leaf stones and Ice stones are extracted from Sinnoh mines
That's exactly how I justified it in my headcanon. Newer Leaf Stones are actually chunks of Mossy Rock, and so on.
I even had headcanons for pre-evolutions back in gens 3-4. Basically, the incense causes developmental delays, which is why you get Azurill with Sea Incense, and you still get baby Marill without it.
Pre evolutions are awesome if they're actually catchable and not exclusive to breeding. Being able to catch stronger Pokémon in earlier routes through earlier forms, such as Munchlax or Elekid, is really neat.
It's regional forms that are fucking stupid. It's fine when it's a 1 to 1 translation, like Meowth or Samdshrew, or even alternate forms like Raichu, but when they give pokemon brand new evolutions EXCLUSIVE to regional forms, that's fucking horseshit and pisses me off
>such as Munchlax or Elekid, is really neat.
When was this the case?
Fuck even in PLA you can catch a Snorlax before Munchlax
>When was this the case?
BW2. Magby or Elekid in Virbank complex depending on version.
also Bonsly and Mr. Mime in DP (but not Pt)
and Smoochum in USUM
also the gift Tyrogue in Mt. Mortar. even if it's really late into the game it's technically the only way to get the hitmons.
those six also happen to be the only babymons i like. i wonder why that is.
Munchlax is catchable early in SM
Also all the babies from gen 4 I think
>when they give pokemon brand new evolutions EXCLUSIVE to regional forms, that's fucking horseshit and pisses me off
I agree if it's an extra evolution, such as Obstagoon or Mr. Rime. If it's an evolutionary parallel, such as Perrserker or Runerigus, I don't mind as much.
well give me a preevo based in Venus Flytrap seed
>Make a Pokémon that looks like the evolution of a Pokémon they had made previously
>It's actually an unrelated Pokémon
They made me waste countless hours of my time as a kid
>make a pokemon based
Like no one ever was
Should have been a split evo for weepinbell.
it makes no sense with the rest of the bellsprout family. it would end up in a Bellossom situation where it ends up being hated for not matching a family it was forced into rather than being appreciated for its own merits.
I think Bellossom has green skin because Nintendo didn't want another racism scandal. Earlier art of Bellossom had the same skin color as the Oddish line, but coupled with the rest of its design, it could be misconstrued as "racist."
Green skin works better anyways since it's supposed to be the "day" evolution and green obviously means chlorophyll (vileplume doesn't have chlorophyll as an ability if I believe hard enough that it doesn't)
