it opens the floodgates for a dev team that prioritizes activism over competent game design and puts unqualified people in positions that negatively impact the project as a whole due to characteristics that have nothing to do with their actual skills (skin color, sexual orientation, gender). It also attracts activists to the fanbase which means a consumer base that is not interest in the quality of the product and will praise garbage or mediocrity as long as it preaches things that they believe in, in other words, people who only see video games as a disposable platform to spread propaganda.
As for how it can affect game design, it manifests itself in different ways, such as character designs being altered to appease the sensibilities of these groups and them being written in such a way that they are reduced to stereotypes or perfect beings for the sake of preaching a shallow message to the player, reducing conflicts to "us vs them (we are the good guys!)". There's also the phemonemon of the dev team actively antagonizing their own audience for not accepting their decisions, leading to self destructive practices that just hurt the project in the long run.
Regardless of what your beliefs are, as a consumer who's interested in playing good video games or a fan of a series that wants to see it improve, there's no gain from the megacorp teaming up with groups like these.
It allows immigrants that hate America to ruin it from the inside. Yeah this is just pokemon but the same practice is being applied in every big corporation as someone earlier said. This also extends to liberal governments at the local and state levels.
I'm assuming you are a wagecuck who hasn't worked in corporate because inclusion groups have been around for a long time for a ton of companies along with work support resources for everyone. The reason you are seeing it spamed is because there's a pol raid this morning and the catalog is shit.
Just like other support resources for if you are having anxiety issues and such or physical programs like yoga morning stretches or time management workshops it's there for employees to use for betterment or connect them with resources for their situation. The company benefits when people's personal problems don't get in the way of their work. It also creates a positive image in the minds of the employees. In my old wage job the biggest insult to us were "pizza parties" while we got the letter to wagecuck harder because of a tighter budget and less staff. Inclusion groups have been around for a long time if you work in a major company.

Gee I guess it's just a coincidence the franchise tanked in quality when they started this diversity initiative huh
Basically every larger company (>200 employees) I've ever worked at has had these exact same set of groups. There's usually only like 3-5 people that actual go to the meetings or join the committee.
I am with that one anon from a different thread- There must be some sort of conspiracy to take down the Pokemon company with all these bad designs. There is no way this is going through like 10 employees hands and they all go 'looks great, this will surely be marketable and a good design for use in our various products'.
Imagine celebrating a diaspora. I would say the japs are being sarcastic with this crap but I think they really don't know how to adapt to globohomosexual and they're just letting consultants do whatever they want to their company.
I couldn't even process this was a pokemon at first I thought someone had just clipped into the skybox and was showing that one of the bridge props went to nowhere
I like the idea and concept, but this looks a bit too fricking literal rather than taking an idea and aplying it to a creature. I guess it's a steel type which can explain how it can be a literal bridge but come on, at least the "building" form was a little more subtle (Emphasis on "little").
I never had an issue with Gen 5. Gen 7 was where the design team actually started to falter, and then from 8 onwards they just lost all semblance of quality control.
It's very silly. I actually don't mind Objectmons as long as they're creative but this wraps around to being so stupidly dumb I can't help but smile at it.
This evolutionary line is a trainwreck.
You know things are gone sour when fricking Clover has better designs, I swear the condom Pokemon is better and it's going to get worse and worse
I've never been one to go "bro new pokemon designs are fricking SHIT bro" because there's good and bad designs in each gen, but this one is too much even for me.
On the hand I’m happy that Duraludon is getting some support with a new evolution and move. But then on the on the other hand the evolution is a fricking bridge that I want to jump off. Monkey paw bull shit
Duraludon in general is hands down the worst pokemon ever created. It's amazing Raihan managed to be popular despite having an inhaler for an ace. Don't know what possessed GF to return to it and "upgrade" it to an even more ridiculous design that can't possibly evolve naturally in the wild. Wish they went the more generic route and just gave Drayton a Steel type Haxorus.
why does everything pokemon does have to introduce 40 new tertiary characters
you can't just have a rival its got to be your rival, your rivals younger sibling, the professor estranged uncle, the champions barber and a traveling clown that all periodically pop in to check on your and dump dialogue at you
That image is not helping your case nearly as much as you seem to think it does.
NTA but nope that wrong, since I prefer the left.
The right is everything I hate about anime, too modernized and overly sexualized. There's certain places where it works in the story or style like Ninja Scroll or Redline, but most of the time it's cringey to see.
Same issue with 90s comic men and women and how they were drawn. (Overly sexualized and/or muscular)
At this point I'd rather read an entire volume where the characters are drawn like the left, than one chapter of a story drawn in rights style.
I'm calling bullshit, the left has extremely basic coloring, poor shading, and a stiff unlifelike pose. The right is an objectively a superior piece of art, and I refuse to accept anyone legitimately believes otherwise.
it get said a lot but I genuinely think this is one of the worst pokemon designs. everything about it is so moronic, its like those old shitposts where people would say 'gunamon' (despite that not being pokemon's naming convention) and just have a gun with googly eyes
>weird inhaler dragon that has a super form that turns it into a building and now has a new evolution that turns into a bridge without a hint of subtlety
The most cursed pokemon line of all.
They are vastly overrepresented given how big their populations are in both the world, and in nations they are not native to. Of course I specifically mean nogs, and don't lump other brown peoples in with them.
This shit has made me genuinely think to make an actual 3D Pokemon game worth a damn. I don't know the first thing about game design, but dammit I want to try, to at least prove to myself and everyone else this shit doesn't have to happen.
That's it's main look
It's big turtle form is just for Gen 9, it loses it forever after this game
At least Necrozma looks cool even without it's Ultra Form
man, don't frick with the classic designs. if you want to frick with legendary monster designs start woth the new ones and work your way up. no one cares if you clown on shit like xerneas and tapu koko but doing it to suicune and raikou is insulting. complete absence of respect for the original pokémon dev/creative team and its older fans
You will buy it anyway
Next gen has even worse designes and be the best selling game, again.
Nothing will change
Graphics will still look worse then Mario sunshine
You will Stockholm Syndrom yourself into liking it anyway
You will shill and defend because you cope with your childhood being lost forever
You will shit on older games because you are cattle
You will coom to the shitty designed furbait pokemon and you will shill her because you have porn addiction
Nothing will change
Game freak will make billions
This is what you choose
>Next gen has even worse designes and be the best selling game, again. >again
They STILL haven't beaten Gen I in sales, despite the Switch effect helping literally every other Nintendo IP by a gigantic margin. hhhhhmmmmm I wonder why that is......
But on a serious note, sure they're making massive profits with these yearly cash grabs made on a budget of used condoms and gum but all of it's short term gains. The IP isn't growing and more and more long time loyal fans are dropping out because of the atrocious quality.
>The IP isn't growing and more and more long time loyal fans are dropping out because of the atrocious quality.
Good
Let it die. I either want to see a game with good quality or no game at all
Well prepare for neither, because we're going get a new "mainline" game next year, and the year after that, and then Gen 10, which will ALSO be rushed. And let's not forget GF collab with Rockstar, because surely that won't backfire
>The IP isn't growing
Only if you consider the Ip to be the game exclusively, in which case you're a massive moron who blatantly ignores the fact that not only are games not the lion's share of income (and haven't been for a long while), but TPC's also been having better profit margins in recent years than they have in their entire operating lifetime.
Only GameFreak Pokémon I bought from the last two gens was Arceus for passing the bar of being not entirely embarrassing. Others can buy everything as it comes, but I’m content with the spinoffs and high-quality porn.
There are two options here, either it's just an imaginary Pokemon created by the turtle legendary, or GF doesn't fricking care about their own lore anymore and will do whatever
legendaries are shitters now with multiple individuals just fricking around, they aren't unique or special
(even mewtwo is not unique, there atleast a couple known mewtwos)
I'm sick of seeing this dumb take. Ho-Oh did not create the dogs. It revived them after their deaths in the tower. They existed as unknown pokemon prior to their deaths. There's no reason to believe they didn't have ancestors.
The dogs were originally different Pokemon, they BECAME the dogs after Ho-Oh revived them. They wouldn't have ancestors because they are the first and only of their kind.
Exactly. And those pokemon presumably had ancestors. >Prehistoric ancestors -> Unknown Pokemon that may have looked similar -> Reborn Legendary dogs
It's really not complicated.

They didn't look smiliar because the dogs as they looked now didn't exist before Ho-Oh revived them.

Why on earth does that mean they couldn't have looked similar? I'm not saying their pre-death forms were 1:1 copies of their legendary forms, but why would you assume that the unknown Pokemon that became Raikou looked nothing like Raikou? It feels like you people are just jumping through hoops to create a plothole that isn't actually there.

It's implied that they were brought back from prehistoric times when the game said there was a fricking time machine. For frick's sake the imagination theory is so fricking stupid. That screenshot is nothing more than a cheeky in-universe marketing tease presented as a completely unrelated journal entry that resembles the actual DLC pokemon by pure coincidence. But for some fricking reason you take it as lore gospel despite the fact that the pokemon allegedly produced by the artist's imagination looks nothing like the pokemon he imagined. Yes, Gamefreak's writing of time travel is sloppy, but this moronic theory creates more plotholes than it solves.

Shut up moron, it's a wish machine. That plot point makes a lot more sense in Violet than it does Scarlet, almost a little too obvious in Violet.
The dogs were originally different Pokemon, they BECAME the dogs after Ho-Oh revived them. They wouldn't have ancestors because they are the first and only of their kind.
I'm sick of seeing this dumb take. Ho-Oh did not create the dogs. It revived them after their deaths in the tower. They existed as unknown pokemon prior to their deaths. There's no reason to believe they didn't have ancestors.
it literally makes no sense for Raikou to have an ancient form
Ho-Oh created Raikou as they are, there was no ancestor
Nothing in GSC says anything involved in that legend changed species. It just says >3 pokemon died >Ho-Oh revived them >They are Raikou, Entei, and Suicune
That's literally it. GF has never been shy about telling us when one species turns into another since that's literally what the franchise is based on, and even outside of evos you have stuff like Carbink and Diancie. It's more likely that some random Entei, Suicune, and Raikou died in the fire, Ho-Oh revived three, and now the legend is associated with all members of their species.
Even pokemon itself makes you think Ho-oh revived and reshaped the nameless pokemon into the legendary beasts. How fricking Entei and Suicune can die in a fricking fire? It makes no fricking sense. Paradox pokemon ARE bullshit made by the "time machine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rga9wUdKRk8

Maybe they asfixiated in the fire, or didn't get their new types before Ho-oh. Idk.
I don't think that even matters, since they're probably going the route in which, "paradox pokemon are just figments of the professor's imaginations, and not actual future/past pokemon."
>He thinks legendary backstory matters for any of them.
Reminder that there are multiple Mewtwos in existence despite Mew being the originator for a singular Mewtwo because a single scientist made it and caused it to go berserk. We're even getting an event in a couple weeks for Mewtwo where it's farting around in a crystal cavern in Paldea.
Mew itself is so rare that people believe it's a literal mirage if they see one and they believe it's completely extinct, but a random old man in Sinnoh has it.
The Regis are found in multiple locations despite Regirock specifically being noted as being "Sealed away long ago" yet somehow exists in both Sinnoh and Hoenn, Registeel was "Imprisoned by people in ancient times" yet is also in both Sinnoh and Hoenn, and Regigigas is implied to be a singular being but is locked away in both Sinnoh and Hoenn.
Because of the Ultra Wormholes we can obtain Pokemon through rifts in space meaning multiples of the same legendary can exist within the same reality.
>A-A A STAPLE REMOVER THAT'S DESIGNED TO ALSO TURN INTO A BRIDGE WHEN IT FOLDS OUT THAT'S FRICKING SHIT THEY REALLY ARE RUINING POKEMON >YES YES PURPLE GOO WITH EYES AND A MOUTH AND AN IRON BALL WITH AN EYE AND MAGNETS THIS IS TOP TIER DESIGN
What's the difference?
grimer and magnemite look cool
duraladon does not
thats the difference
modern pokemon are also obsessed with over complicating their design with 15 difference references
it can't just be a bridge monster
its also gotta be a staple remover and a rail gun and godzilla
the fire starter is a good example of a design ruined by trying to be 4 things at once for no reason
The three Pokémon the dogs were born from were unnamed. That's the loophole they found. The theories before assumed it was Eevee's original three evolved forms, which also makes sense when you figure Raikou can look like any other Pokémon he wants to look like, which is also why they're so hard to find. With an ancestor that whole shit doesn't make sense.
It seems like either the paradox mons never actually existed or Gamefreak just does not care about it's lore at all. Honestly both are just as equally likely.
Guys. How do I let go of Pokemon? I just don't want to hurt anymore. A part of me wants Gen 10 to be better, along with the Gen 5 remakes, but deep down, I know they won't. It will be the same shit, but probably worse, and I don't know if I can take that.
JFC stop being so dramatic, just stop playing it or look at other things in the franchise or something. I don't play Pokemon, I haven't playing Pokemon in 7 years, I just replay old games, collect TCG cards, or play GO. My issue is just with the games being shit but I love the Pokemon creatures. Worst case just turn into one of those "Loves pokemon but can only name Pikachu and Eevee as their favorites"
Coom to pokegirls, play romhacks and replay older games. You can also play the new games but just pirate them and dont waste your money on new garbage. You can also just play other games. Pokemon is a brainwashing brand. You are addicted to it like most of us.
Umbreedon, alternatively if you sort the the tag Umbreon by score on any porn site it’ll be the first result. It’s literally the highest rated post of all time for the entire Pokémon IP on e6 atm.
Rip the band-aid off and just stop playing and watching Pokémon. If you do that then you will sub-consciously start to become less interested then eventually apathetic. Then just don’t come back because this shit is getting worse each year.
Play better games.
Fan games, retro, AAA, indies, whatever suits you.
Surely it can't be that hard to find something that keeps your attention, considering the quality of the series.
I still wish that more megas were given to weaker/less popular Pokemon rather than mostly being given to those who were already strong and/or very popular.
what the frick is this shit?
no thanks, i'll just stick to pokemmo. its all 5 of the original games packed together and multiplayer, not to mention modable, infinite tradable pokemon with people all over the planet, built in PVP and QOL improvements out the ass. You guys can keep your new generation shits.
NOOOOOOOOO NOT IN THE HECKIN PRESENT THAT A TOTAL OF 1 PERSON WILL WATCH AFTER TODAY!!!!!!!!
Imagine reaching this fricking hard for a controversy. Twittergays are embarrassing.
A group of low tier legendaries that are existing Pokémon from different time periods with much better stats and an altered appearance based on if they from the past/future
Honestly, I feel like a good amount of newer Pokemon designs are trying too hard to be visually engaging, weird, and/or quirky. I'm reminded back to Octillery and Remoraid, pokemon that were made to resemble an artillery piece and revolver, respectively. Design aspects that were toned down largely because it was thought they classed too much with normal Pokemon design. I feel like newer designers don't do this anymore and just throw out whatever they think looks interesting.
>Design aspects that were toned down largely because it was thought they classed too much with normal Pokemon design.
No, because it was too violent and not kid-friendly

It does, but that design was after the kaiju artists got hold of it and made it look decent. The furgays version was, of course, a looney toons looking chubby abomination.
I've moved past hating the newer designs and instead I'm just indifferent. It's not worth the energy. I can always fall back on playing older mainline games and spinoffs for my Pokemon fix, the modern stuff simply isn't appealing anymore. I only ever keep up with Pokemon for the hope of a cool-looking spinoff like a Pokken 2, a new PMD game, and the like.
the only reason this mediocre franchise is still alive is because there are literal pathetic manchildren still hooked up on their nostalgia who literally only play pokemon games
What are some actually good monster capture games? I realized that I like monster tamer games and it isn't just a pokemon thing. I enjoyed Cyber Sleuth, Cassette Beasts, and am currently liking coromon so far. I have Monster Sanctuary on my backlog, but liked the few hours that I played. We will probably never see another good Pokémon game, after all.
Dragon Quest Monsters is coming out this year in December I think, so look forward to that. SMT is also kind of a monster collecting game, so maybe try that if you're interested
I like all them apple guys. They're funny. I like the dinosaur dog one the most but the others are good, too. Not a single Gen 9 Pokemon has managed to break into my top 50 yet though. The only gen 8's on there are Dacovish and Appltun.
caterpie is unequivocally based on a swallowtail caterpillar due to its signature red crest as a larva. the adult signature trait of a swallowtail is... a wing protrusion in the shape of... wait for it... a swallowtail. butterfree doesn't have a swallowtail wing, venomoth does
the venonat line has no basis on reality, not a proper larva, no cocoon stage, it's just a cartoon furry bug inspired by kamen rider
Looks like Gamefreak finally hired that man.
i mean there was a very good chance someone would hit on "brontosaurus raikou" in the months between walking wake first appearing and now

genius sonority is dead, i've forgotten the specifics of the story but they were intentionally gutted and deprived of work by nintendo/TPC
IIRC they stole James Turner from GS, and then relegated them to only do trozei games and other shitty puzzlers.
It's funny how you give Pokemon to nearly any other dev and they immediately start cooking desire being smaller developers than GF.
I wish genius sonority would do shit again they made gamefreak fricking seethe
they still dont even mention them at all
Anything after Gold, Silver, Crystal is not canon.
Overdesigned
just play a different monster collecting game
a fricking bridge my sides its true they just dont care anymore
Man they really don't give a shit anymore.
A
FRICKING
BRIDGE
>a bridge
I was a moron and didn't jump ship until sun/moon but holy frick what the frick is that lmao
I couldn't even process this was a pokemon at first I thought someone had just clipped into the skybox and was showing that one of the bridge props went to nowhere
I like the idea and concept, but this looks a bit too fricking literal rather than taking an idea and aplying it to a creature. I guess it's a steel type which can explain how it can be a literal bridge but come on, at least the "building" form was a little more subtle (Emphasis on "little").
i legit though this was a photshop or hell 10 minutes in paint picture as a joke but its real holy shit
Finally something I can jump off to never see these horrible pokemon ever again
Just put MissingNo in the game already. Might as well sell it as a Pokemon like Porygon. It also kinda looks like a building kek.
And Game Freak wonders why its exiting employees speak out about them.
It's time you homosexuals apologize to Gen V mons.
But I love Reshiram
Shit is still shit. Doesn't matter of you consider a turd to be better than diarrhoea
Get back to work on your new project or whatever, Turner
Gen VIII was his gen THO.
I never had an issue with Gen 5. Gen 7 was where the design team actually started to falter, and then from 8 onwards they just lost all semblance of quality control.
zoomers should apologize for consuming garbage all their lives
ok zoomer apologize then
what year were you born in
Gen 5 was the peak and I defended it day 1
Gen IV already started to show signs of decline, so no.
inb4
>umm actually Bridgeadier is based and soulful, easily one of my new favs!
KINO
IS THAT CHARIZARD BRIDGE??????
FROM UNOVA?????
Yes, it's quite deliberately Unovabaiting.
>a LITERAL fricking bridge
Frick you I like it
why though?
It's very silly. I actually don't mind Objectmons as long as they're creative but this wraps around to being so stupidly dumb I can't help but smile at it.
Pokemon needs to learn from Monster Hunter how to do objectmons.
Ah, I see people were wrong when they said nothing would ever change with Pokemon. It keeps geting worse.
This evolutionary line is a trainwreck.
You know things are gone sour when fricking Clover has better designs, I swear the condom Pokemon is better and it's going to get worse and worse
WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGHWAGAWHAWHAHWAGFA
...I just don't know anymore.
I haven't played Pokemon since the 4th generation, yet every new shit they spew is still disappointing.
I dropped Sun/Moon because it was boring as frick and then I haven't played a new game because most of the new Mons don't look good to me.
I've never been one to go "bro new pokemon designs are fricking SHIT bro" because there's good and bad designs in each gen, but this one is too much even for me.
On the hand I’m happy that Duraludon is getting some support with a new evolution and move. But then on the on the other hand the evolution is a fricking bridge that I want to jump off. Monkey paw bull shit
What's the issue?
moron shiller
One makes sense, the other is a wild animal that looks like a stapler/bridge.
I already hated them back then, but to play the devils advocate, each case is a Rotom possessing a mechanical appliance since it's an electric ghost.
>Poltergeist Pokemon
>vs. a dragon that looks like a bridge just because
I didn't like Duraludon much before, but this is great.
oh shit
Love this level's music
The jungle theme was pretty good too, I remember
Now that's just a bridge too far!
Damn you, Carlos: I wanted to say that.
>It's literally and unironically your mom's bridge
What the frick did they mean by this?
the gardevoir girl is cute
>added the /vp/ ~~*cringe*~~ kid
Made me laugh
Gen 7 was the last one with mostly good designs, because most designers were still Japanese
Christ.
>If you still play pokemon thinking it'll get better, I've got a bridge to sell you
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
oh nononoNONONO
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't understand what's wrong with the bridge. Its first form is a building.
Duraludon in general is hands down the worst pokemon ever created. It's amazing Raihan managed to be popular despite having an inhaler for an ace. Don't know what possessed GF to return to it and "upgrade" it to an even more ridiculous design that can't possibly evolve naturally in the wild. Wish they went the more generic route and just gave Drayton a Steel type Haxorus.
Porn when?
Ngl that design is cool
literally a cardboard cutout
what the frick are these graphics?
Ummm sweaty?? Bridgemon is actually my favorite Pokémon ever. Also, gen1 had many absurd designs, remember ditto??
What's next? A fricking shoe?
GF is signalling their suicide
why does everything pokemon does have to introduce 40 new tertiary characters
you can't just have a rival its got to be your rival, your rivals younger sibling, the professor estranged uncle, the champions barber and a traveling clown that all periodically pop in to check on your and dump dialogue at you
For the card game, anime, and now Masters.
*snap*
that one goes into the k*d collection
All of them look ai generated
It appears to be mode change depending on either hp or status effects.
I think it's just the animation for his signature move, it has an electric solar beam that fires in 1 turn in rain.
frick off shiller. its a FRICKING BRIDGE!!!!
Why the hell did they make him look like a Tallneck from Horizon? Is there going to be a Sony/Nintendo collab?
GameFreak just takes what they want. No fricks given.
Who is sexier?
dyke > troony
I hate Haruko Ichikawa's character designs so much.
Stop having shit taste
So is this manga finally finished? Kinda dropped it after the multiple long hiatuses
right
Both are hideous. What the frick happened, man? They don't even give us cute girls anymore.
I'll accept right on merit of potentially cosplaying as Sailor Uranus.
the left character looks like they are from a shovelware DS game
guess im a the genwun boomer now because this shit just don't look like pokemon at all
Left.
Right clothes hairstyle is ugly, horrible earrings, moronic clothes, shitty shoes, no socks.
Rule 63 Ankh is alright but Amadan's possible descendant has the tummy game going. It's really hard to pick here.
Back to /trash/ troony
I need to see both of them poop to make an educated decision
They are the poop.
Right has bigger breasts so i'll go with that
ANKH, POKÉBALLU!
I wish Shu didn't have to suffer so much, especially after the anniversary movie happened to give him another chance.
they really are going full xenoblade with the character designs are they.... im so done with this series........... -____-
It's impressive to have a post this shit and moronic in a Pokemon thread, well done
You have zero business saying this as a /vt/ranny
Deflection gets you nowhere
there are worse, belive that
Anime and its consequences have been a disaster for Japanese art.
wrong.
>He says while posting something that proves the opposite
NTA but nope that wrong, since I prefer the left.
The right is everything I hate about anime, too modernized and overly sexualized. There's certain places where it works in the story or style like Ninja Scroll or Redline, but most of the time it's cringey to see.
Same issue with 90s comic men and women and how they were drawn. (Overly sexualized and/or muscular)
At this point I'd rather read an entire volume where the characters are drawn like the left, than one chapter of a story drawn in rights style.
>Whaaaaaaa why is anime so sexualized!?
Cry me a river homosexual.
>I prefer the left.
I'm calling bullshit, the left has extremely basic coloring, poor shading, and a stiff unlifelike pose. The right is an objectively a superior piece of art, and I refuse to accept anyone legitimately believes otherwise.
pokemon was anime from the beginning
That image is not helping your case nearly as much as you seem to think it does.
>dog
>cross eyed b***h with tongue sticking out
you know what it is
The big two doing the most circuitous bullshit just to bring fanservice back is silly.
Is nobody going to mention the Pokémon Violet cover on the right's top?
left looks like she does anal in the pokemon center bathrooms
right needs to step on my balls
Left is just white Nessa and I'm okay with that.
>those eyes
>white
I don’t know about that one
Holy shit, Adaman's genes are strong.
>Literally just copied the Tallneck design from Horizon
Nobody played this
I did
It was ok
It doesn't matter how many people played it. The design is stolen.
come think of it, when was the last time a post-gen3 pokemon had an evolution added in a later gen?
He looks interesting in this form.
Staple remover.
it get said a lot but I genuinely think this is one of the worst pokemon designs. everything about it is so moronic, its like those old shitposts where people would say 'gunamon' (despite that not being pokemon's naming convention) and just have a gun with googly eyes
There are gun Digimon with eyes that look better than this. Shotmon, Revolvemon and Gundramon.
Hell beta Remoraid was a gun with eyes too and it looked better
actual digimon tier
not even tin a way low effort insult sort of way
like genuinely looks like something toy augmon digivolves into
pokegay truly fricking humbled
Don't insult Digimon like that, you absolute homosexual.
That's the point. They're future Pokemon.
>weird inhaler dragon that has a super form that turns it into a building and now has a new evolution that turns into a bridge without a hint of subtlety
The most cursed pokemon line of all.
I might be the only anon that actually like duraludon and his evolution
>Wokak poster
>Has shit taste
imagine my shock
I like them but stop posting wojaks
Abomnasnow doesn't comprehend what is happening.
>eviolite duraludon
>Gamefreak actively ripping off Sony
Well now I’ve seen everything.
Why is raikou a mammalian dinosaur I fricking hate it
current GF cope is they are in universe made up fake pokemon so they are allowed to look like shit 🙂
I meant out of universe I don't get what they were going for at all.
It was a fricking SABERTOOTH TIGER it already looked prehistoric. Streching a mammals head like that looks so fricked up
Is this a boy or a girl???
yes
A holes a goal.
Cute
Warm butthole
I'm set.
Clearly a boy. I will call myself a wanker if I'm wrong (will google the answer after posting this).
>Is this a boy or a girl???
clearly a pansexual
heh
From what I gather, and there's very little info there, that is indeed a boy.
would have been sexier as a girl, they fricked up
>crispin
Havent heard that name in like 40 years.
I hate his stupid fricking name
Boy.
>5 minutes before duraladons new design is due
>gamefreak employee frantically looking around their desk for ideas
>IVE GOT IT!
Still more effort than Tanabe with his boss designs in Origami King
>that Raikou
Pokemon needs less blacks for real. Not a racist, but it's too much.
Black characters are like... Less than 10 and you saya it's too much? Wtf
>it's too much
yes
>CalArts
It's so fricking over
They are vastly overrepresented given how big their populations are in both the world, and in nations they are not native to. Of course I specifically mean nogs, and don't lump other brown peoples in with them.
Honestly, dark skinned people in Pokemon just look like tanned whites.
What were they thinking?
Fricking shameful, billions of morons will still eat this literal shit up though.
Why are 3 of those hiding their faces
>apple but this time candied
>toilet dragon is now staple remover dragon
>Raikou but long
>another lazy Metal Sonic mon
he was made for me
as usual nintendo can only steal
Pokemon is gay
hire fans
AAAHHHHH NO ARE THOSE SEPERATE CLAWS AND SCALES!?!?!?
THINK THE PRODUCTION COSTS OF THE PLUSHIES HELP ME MASUDASAMA IM GOING INSANE!!!
>SEPERATE CLAWS
Wait, really? Holy shit that's sad.
Raging Bolt's feet are more hooflike than Iron Crown's. What is even that claw design?
Who plays Pokemon anyways? I stopped caring after Gen 3 and only jerk off to the porn.
Toilet dragon transforming into a staple remover is funny as frick and the apple is great.
He's a bridge actually
What are some good romhacks/fangames?
This Presents just made me sad
I enjoyed Insurgence as an fangame. Going to start Xenoverse. If you want more traditional, the Emerald Rogue romhack is pretty decent.
Clover is essential, unironically.
This shit has made me genuinely think to make an actual 3D Pokemon game worth a damn. I don't know the first thing about game design, but dammit I want to try, to at least prove to myself and everyone else this shit doesn't have to happen.
>they managed to make something initially based on a toilet look even worse
what the hell man
That's it's main look
It's big turtle form is just for Gen 9, it loses it forever after this game
At least Necrozma looks cool even without it's Ultra Form
when all else fails just slap on the sparkle-star eyes
man, don't frick with the classic designs. if you want to frick with legendary monster designs start woth the new ones and work your way up. no one cares if you clown on shit like xerneas and tapu koko but doing it to suicune and raikou is insulting. complete absence of respect for the original pokémon dev/creative team and its older fans
You will buy it anyway
Next gen has even worse designes and be the best selling game, again.
Nothing will change
Graphics will still look worse then Mario sunshine
You will Stockholm Syndrom yourself into liking it anyway
You will shill and defend because you cope with your childhood being lost forever
You will shit on older games because you are cattle
You will coom to the shitty designed furbait pokemon and you will shill her because you have porn addiction
Nothing will change
Game freak will make billions
This is what you choose
>Next gen has even worse designes and be the best selling game, again.
>again
They STILL haven't beaten Gen I in sales, despite the Switch effect helping literally every other Nintendo IP by a gigantic margin. hhhhhmmmmm I wonder why that is......
But on a serious note, sure they're making massive profits with these yearly cash grabs made on a budget of used condoms and gum but all of it's short term gains. The IP isn't growing and more and more long time loyal fans are dropping out because of the atrocious quality.
>The IP isn't growing and more and more long time loyal fans are dropping out because of the atrocious quality.
Good
Let it die. I either want to see a game with good quality or no game at all
Well prepare for neither, because we're going get a new "mainline" game next year, and the year after that, and then Gen 10, which will ALSO be rushed. And let's not forget GF collab with Rockstar, because surely that won't backfire
Why are they showing off their butts like that?
To attract potential mates
Looks like they did a good job attracting me then
>The IP isn't growing
Only if you consider the Ip to be the game exclusively, in which case you're a massive moron who blatantly ignores the fact that not only are games not the lion's share of income (and haven't been for a long while), but TPC's also been having better profit margins in recent years than they have in their entire operating lifetime.
Only GameFreak Pokémon I bought from the last two gens was Arceus for passing the bar of being not entirely embarrassing. Others can buy everything as it comes, but I’m content with the spinoffs and high-quality porn.
I haven't bought a Pokemon game in 5 years since USUM
Maybe I'm just getting old, but damn a lot of the new Pokemon designs just don't speak to me.
If you ever wonder why video games shouldn't pander to coomers, look no further than Pokemon.
Where? I don't see the pandering.
I love cumming to bridges
How so? It would be better if there were more coombait designs over the weird and quirky designs they are currently putting out.
They got their new pokemon designers out the Battlefield 3 team.
it literally makes no sense for Raikou to have an ancient form
Ho-Oh created Raikou as they are, there was no ancestor
There are two options here, either it's just an imaginary Pokemon created by the turtle legendary, or GF doesn't fricking care about their own lore anymore and will do whatever
At this point either is likely.
legendaries are shitters now with multiple individuals just fricking around, they aren't unique or special
(even mewtwo is not unique, there atleast a couple known mewtwos)
Can't create something from nothing.
That's literally Genesis, moron. It just works if you're a fricking god.
I'm sick of seeing this dumb take. Ho-Oh did not create the dogs. It revived them after their deaths in the tower. They existed as unknown pokemon prior to their deaths. There's no reason to believe they didn't have ancestors.
The dogs were originally different Pokemon, they BECAME the dogs after Ho-Oh revived them. They wouldn't have ancestors because they are the first and only of their kind.
Alright, and what pokemon BECAME the dogs?
Frick if I know, they just said "Pokemon". But it can be assumed their current forms aren't what they originally looked like.
Exactly. And those pokemon presumably had ancestors.
>Prehistoric ancestors -> Unknown Pokemon that may have looked similar -> Reborn Legendary dogs
It's really not complicated.
They didn't look smiliar because the dogs as they looked now didn't exist before Ho-Oh revived them.
Why on earth does that mean they couldn't have looked similar? I'm not saying their pre-death forms were 1:1 copies of their legendary forms, but why would you assume that the unknown Pokemon that became Raikou looked nothing like Raikou? It feels like you people are just jumping through hoops to create a plothole that isn't actually there.
I liked the theory they were Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon when they died. These new forms are stupid as frick.
>flareon
>fire type pokemon
>literally absorbs fire as its ability
>dies in a fire
???
>Prehistoric ancestors
It’s implied that Paradox Pokémon were “wished” into existence and didn’t exist until humans started wandering into Area Zero
I really hope we get this pokemon one day, even if it's just a tera form for the paradox dogs.
It's implied that they were brought back from prehistoric times when the game said there was a fricking time machine. For frick's sake the imagination theory is so fricking stupid. That screenshot is nothing more than a cheeky in-universe marketing tease presented as a completely unrelated journal entry that resembles the actual DLC pokemon by pure coincidence. But for some fricking reason you take it as lore gospel despite the fact that the pokemon allegedly produced by the artist's imagination looks nothing like the pokemon he imagined. Yes, Gamefreak's writing of time travel is sloppy, but this moronic theory creates more plotholes than it solves.
>Book existed 200 years before the Time Machine did (this is a fact stated in the game)
>Book had "future pokemon" in it
>Time Machine now exists
>Place book in Time Machine
>Time Machine pops out the EXACT future pokemon from the book
>Wow crazy how this book predicted the future pokemon with 100% accuracy!
Shut up moron, it's a wish machine. That plot point makes a lot more sense in Violet than it does Scarlet, almost a little too obvious in Violet.
the three base eeveelutions duh
they even copy the trend of flareon and entai both being complete fricking shite, it tracks
Nothing in GSC says anything involved in that legend changed species. It just says
>3 pokemon died
>Ho-Oh revived them
>They are Raikou, Entei, and Suicune
That's literally it. GF has never been shy about telling us when one species turns into another since that's literally what the franchise is based on, and even outside of evos you have stuff like Carbink and Diancie. It's more likely that some random Entei, Suicune, and Raikou died in the fire, Ho-Oh revived three, and now the legend is associated with all members of their species.
Even pokemon itself makes you think Ho-oh revived and reshaped the nameless pokemon into the legendary beasts. How fricking Entei and Suicune can die in a fricking fire? It makes no fricking sense. Paradox pokemon ARE bullshit made by the "time machine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rga9wUdKRk8
Maybe they asfixiated in the fire, or didn't get their new types before Ho-oh. Idk.
i personally like to believe that they looked like their gold beta counterparts before burning to death and subsequently reincarnating
They look like someone's gay furry OCs.
and that's why they died
"Yiff in hell," said whoever burned the tower.
I don't think that even matters, since they're probably going the route in which, "paradox pokemon are just figments of the professor's imaginations, and not actual future/past pokemon."
>He thinks legendary backstory matters for any of them.
Reminder that there are multiple Mewtwos in existence despite Mew being the originator for a singular Mewtwo because a single scientist made it and caused it to go berserk. We're even getting an event in a couple weeks for Mewtwo where it's farting around in a crystal cavern in Paldea.
Mew itself is so rare that people believe it's a literal mirage if they see one and they believe it's completely extinct, but a random old man in Sinnoh has it.
The Regis are found in multiple locations despite Regirock specifically being noted as being "Sealed away long ago" yet somehow exists in both Sinnoh and Hoenn, Registeel was "Imprisoned by people in ancient times" yet is also in both Sinnoh and Hoenn, and Regigigas is implied to be a singular being but is locked away in both Sinnoh and Hoenn.
Because of the Ultra Wormholes we can obtain Pokemon through rifts in space meaning multiples of the same legendary can exist within the same reality.
Finally using ai for pokemon design i see.
>A-A A STAPLE REMOVER THAT'S DESIGNED TO ALSO TURN INTO A BRIDGE WHEN IT FOLDS OUT THAT'S FRICKING SHIT THEY REALLY ARE RUINING POKEMON
>YES YES PURPLE GOO WITH EYES AND A MOUTH AND AN IRON BALL WITH AN EYE AND MAGNETS THIS IS TOP TIER DESIGN
What's the difference?
Less-is-more design philosophy
The former looks stupid as frick, the latter doesn't.
Shut the FRICK up, literal moron.
grimer and magnemite look cool
duraladon does not
thats the difference
modern pokemon are also obsessed with over complicating their design with 15 difference references
it can't just be a bridge monster
its also gotta be a staple remover and a rail gun and godzilla
the fire starter is a good example of a design ruined by trying to be 4 things at once for no reason
Grimer and Muk are literally the same as the much-lauded Dragon Quest slime.
enteibros find your peace
Here's your entei, bro.
So did they just forget that Raikou, Entei, and Suicune were supposed to be cats/dogs?
How the frick does people over 10 still play this fricking toddler franchise?
>baby story for children
>the most basic and simple jrpg gameplay ever made
>games are fricking ugly and stuck in ps1 tier era
wtf is wrong with you people?
I don't play the mainlines, I just try out the other things in the franchise
empty heads that replace personality with brands
mixed with a little sunk cost too
>the most basic and simple jrpg gameplay ever made
You don't play any jrpgs at all.
didnt hooh create raikou
how can there be an ancestor
Because creativity is too hard.
The three Pokémon the dogs were born from were unnamed. That's the loophole they found. The theories before assumed it was Eevee's original three evolved forms, which also makes sense when you figure Raikou can look like any other Pokémon he wants to look like, which is also why they're so hard to find. With an ancestor that whole shit doesn't make sense.
It seems like either the paradox mons never actually existed or Gamefreak just does not care about it's lore at all. Honestly both are just as equally likely.
The Pokemon Company gave up.
did they ruin suicune as well?
Yeah, it's a T-rex.
I remember there was a time in my life where I never imagined not playing every single Pokemon release, yet here we are.
So is this a new gen or what?
Dlc
Oh alright, thanks lads
No, DLC for SV.
>
breddy gud
>the coolest one is a digimon
thanks
Guys. How do I let go of Pokemon? I just don't want to hurt anymore. A part of me wants Gen 10 to be better, along with the Gen 5 remakes, but deep down, I know they won't. It will be the same shit, but probably worse, and I don't know if I can take that.
Play other games, simple as.
I do. Pokemon still has a place in my heart though that no other franchise can fill. And before you say, yes I have played SMT and Digimon, and YW.
Do what Sonicgays do in a quality drought, play the old ones and fan games.
JFC stop being so dramatic, just stop playing it or look at other things in the franchise or something. I don't play Pokemon, I haven't playing Pokemon in 7 years, I just replay old games, collect TCG cards, or play GO. My issue is just with the games being shit but I love the Pokemon creatures. Worst case just turn into one of those "Loves pokemon but can only name Pikachu and Eevee as their favorites"
All easier said than done.
Coom to pokegirls, play romhacks and replay older games. You can also play the new games but just pirate them and dont waste your money on new garbage. You can also just play other games. Pokemon is a brainwashing brand. You are addicted to it like most of us.
>play romhacks
which ones
>Coom to pokegirls
Bro, if GameFreak just put the level of effort that DWD put into that Umbreon animation there wouldn’t be any bad Pokémon games.
Uh which animation are you referring to?
Umbreedon, alternatively if you sort the the tag Umbreon by score on any porn site it’ll be the first result. It’s literally the highest rated post of all time for the entire Pokémon IP on e6 atm.
Rip the band-aid off and just stop playing and watching Pokémon. If you do that then you will sub-consciously start to become less interested then eventually apathetic. Then just don’t come back because this shit is getting worse each year.
Play better games.
Fan games, retro, AAA, indies, whatever suits you.
Surely it can't be that hard to find something that keeps your attention, considering the quality of the series.
Skip next gen, then skip 2 gens, then 3 gens, and so on until you don't feel it anymore. Spinoffs are fine.
unironically play other games you homosexual
i swear you pokehomosexuals only play pokeshit and have no clue how good games can be
"Pokemon is heckin awful!" - moron who can't stop playing Pokemon games.
Change over to pokemon fanfiction
What if Raikou, but giraffe.
ayo where the dicky at?
I still wish that more megas were given to weaker/less popular Pokemon rather than mostly being given to those who were already strong and/or very popular.
Where is my mega Sunflora
>mega Sunflora
This is the best I got.
But I like the idea of a Pokemon temporarily going beyond the normal bounds of evolution.
You're right but also they need to sell merchandise.
Hence Charizard always gets something.
they just need to cut the shit and let pokemon evolve to a 4th form already
they've already jumped the shark who give a frick anymore
This is from a video game that costs 90 dollars.
Small indie studio, please understand.
Can't even blame the Switch for this when games like Xenoblade are on it, and even run better too.
It's funny how people talk about xenoblade and zelda then game freak sell this shit and most morons buy anyway.
There's a reason why gamefreaks have been voted number 1 for the worst company to work at
damn games cost 90 dollars now?
they only cost 50 last year!
$60+$30 for the DLC. That's not counting Nintendo's $50/year for NSO and Lame Freak's $16/year for Home.
False figures
Haven't played pokemon since Yellow and Cristal , might come back for the bridge.
>Time to pass trough our opponents
Anything past gen 6 is fan fiction
what the frick is this shit?
no thanks, i'll just stick to pokemmo. its all 5 of the original games packed together and multiplayer, not to mention modable, infinite tradable pokemon with people all over the planet, built in PVP and QOL improvements out the ass. You guys can keep your new generation shits.
That looks like absolute cringe. All those fricking ridiculous donutsteel chars...
whatever you say, anon. I'm having fun with it. first time i've given a shit about pokemon since red and blue came out when I was in middle school
Some of these designs look like bad Digimon.
They look shit enough to be official.
>dropped
No way they took Raikou, one of the most kino designs in pokemon, and turned it into a fricking giraffe.
Don't dead
open inside
San Diego
i chuckled
Farigiraf ousted in its own debut generation.
I noticed there hadn't been many side games recently. Is it because they often make the mainline games look bad in comparison?
i bet the detective pikachu sequel was intentionally made to look bad so that scat toilet look good in comparison
All their "side games" are mobile now
>Thoughts?
everytime you think they can't sink lower, they did, it's amazing
Your issue is that you genuinely believe there's a bottom to how low the human soul can sink in order to turn profits.
There isn't.
https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1688941994909835264
Jesus Christ it keeps getting shittier
How does this company keep getting lower and lower??
NOOOOOOOOO NOT IN THE HECKIN PRESENT THAT A TOTAL OF 1 PERSON WILL WATCH AFTER TODAY!!!!!!!!
Imagine reaching this fricking hard for a controversy. Twittergays are embarrassing.
Wtf are "Paradox" pokemon?
gen 9's gimmick
don't worry about it
you won't see them ever again after this generation
A group of low tier legendaries that are existing Pokémon from different time periods with much better stats and an altered appearance based on if they from the past/future
They're ancient or future what ifs of regular pokemon. For example paradox Tyranitar is mecha godzilla and paradox Salamance is feathery mega sal
>Ah, yeah, that's the stuff
Did Gen 5 always look that ugly?
What the frick
no, that's just a blown up resolution on a screen much larger than the GBA and whoever recorded didn't turn on antialiasing
it looks weird because its not being displayed on a DS screen
Honestly, I feel like a good amount of newer Pokemon designs are trying too hard to be visually engaging, weird, and/or quirky. I'm reminded back to Octillery and Remoraid, pokemon that were made to resemble an artillery piece and revolver, respectively. Design aspects that were toned down largely because it was thought they classed too much with normal Pokemon design. I feel like newer designers don't do this anymore and just throw out whatever they think looks interesting.
>Design aspects that were toned down largely because it was thought they classed too much with normal Pokemon design.
No, because it was too violent and not kid-friendly
IF YOU HATE THESE NEW DESIGNS SO MUCH, POST YOU ARE FAVORITE POKEMON SO YOU CAN SHOW US WHAT GOOD DESIGNS LOOK LIKE!
Gen IX has the worst good to bad ratio it's not even funny, hardly anything looks good there. Goes both for the Pokemon and human designs.
>Basic ass taste in almost everything
>Based Dragalge out of nowhere
Unexpected.
People try way too hard to have good taste, so many people acting like they don't like any legendaries frick outta here lol
Latias is right fricking there.

Based Procyon/Deneb enjoyer
Post full version of sick doggo please
for you bossman
haven't checked in eons but I last
I saw anything was 3 years ago
SV did plenty wrong, but that fricking dog got me right in the heart. I guess it's the same for anyone who's lost their dog, that or I'm just a gigantic pussy. Either way, thanks my man.
Nah, SV was full of shit but the Arven path was actually enjoyable. It's a good way to give your raidon HMs (herba mystica) and talk about area zero before the end game.
shame, hope it's coming along nicely at least
i'm real fricking tired of radical red wannabe/"enhancement" hacks and really miss hacks with new regions/fakemons (regional forms don't count frick off), at least vega still holds up to this day, especially with the viva las vega patch
thank you
any news? or is it still stuck in development hell?
These are my favorite Pokemon
Kaiju fan detected
Guilty as charged
Godzilla Save the Earth is one of my favorite video games. I hope we get another good kaiju video game in the future.
Furgays torpedo'd our last great hope...
Shame a furgay was behind this, a giant kaiju kangaroo actually sounds fun.
It does, but that design was after the kaiju artists got hold of it and made it look decent. The furgays version was, of course, a looney toons looking chubby abomination.
There's a fighter on switch that just got a Toho DLC. Haven't played it but its one of few kaiju games that we have right now.
can't find any art so i'll post the entire pokedex instead
I don't hate these designs.

I feel like the system has been gamed here somewhat
I've moved past hating the newer designs and instead I'm just indifferent. It's not worth the energy. I can always fall back on playing older mainline games and spinoffs for my Pokemon fix, the modern stuff simply isn't appealing anymore. I only ever keep up with Pokemon for the hope of a cool-looking spinoff like a Pokken 2, a new PMD game, and the like.
You know there was a time when I thought Raikou's design had a bit too much going on with it and could have been simplified.
Based Marvewl meme enjoyer. These designs suck H.A.R.D.

>drops thunder from above from its hair resembling storm clouds
I think it's neat.
it's a good concept but it could've been done much better design-wise, it looks stupid in 3D
The ancestor of a fricking saber tooth is a branchiossaurus...
Everything somehow descends from Mew so who knows.
>Mewgays
>2023
I definitely see entei as a lion and raikou as a tiger, but I see suicune as more of a wolf.
>but I see suicune as more of a wolf.
you mean the one that even has spots like a cheetah / leopard
the only reason this mediocre franchise is still alive is because there are literal pathetic manchildren still hooked up on their nostalgia who literally only play pokemon games
What are some actually good monster capture games? I realized that I like monster tamer games and it isn't just a pokemon thing. I enjoyed Cyber Sleuth, Cassette Beasts, and am currently liking coromon so far. I have Monster Sanctuary on my backlog, but liked the few hours that I played. We will probably never see another good Pokémon game, after all.
Dragon Quest Monsters is coming out this year in December I think, so look forward to that. SMT is also kind of a monster collecting game, so maybe try that if you're interested
HE'S IN
>Raikou
I like all them apple guys. They're funny. I like the dinosaur dog one the most but the others are good, too. Not a single Gen 9 Pokemon has managed to break into my top 50 yet though. The only gen 8's on there are Dacovish and Appltun.
APOLOGIZE
>a rock with arms
>literally just a ball
every generation have good and bad designs
cry about it
>those
>bad
moron.
I hope you posted an example of a bad design
too bad you didnt post your example of good design, so i'll take you as just another crying homosexual
Already did, Black person. Read the thread, this looks like shit too btw.
have a nice day.
Cry more, Black person.
>example of a good design is basically just a recolor piggybacking on a gen 1 pokemon
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>still didnt post the design he likes
nobody cares about you because you're a little fat manchild full of hatred
>still didnt post the design he likes
refer to
I just wanted a cool sailor duck
The Japs fear Donurado-san
That isn't a very good design either, now I think Weavile has a great design.
>good design
>dude what if le primeape but gray?
Hope you don't think that looks good.
I’m sorry zoomers have to deflect to shitting on these designs when someone points out how garbage a current one is
Some designs are ok in each generation. What's the point of trying to look cool on an anonymous imageboard?
god i miss the hand drawn water color style
why are venomoth and butterfree in the wrong spots?
are they really though?
given how much we found out about RBY's development thanks to the gigaleak, is there any hard evidence for venomoth and butterfree being swapped?
you do realize butterflies/moths look completely different from their caterpillar stage right?
caterpie is unequivocally based on a swallowtail caterpillar due to its signature red crest as a larva. the adult signature trait of a swallowtail is... a wing protrusion in the shape of... wait for it... a swallowtail. butterfree doesn't have a swallowtail wing, venomoth does
the venonat line has no basis on reality, not a proper larva, no cocoon stage, it's just a cartoon furry bug inspired by kamen rider
Venonat a cute.
imagine shoving venonat up your wienerhole
They really just shoved that poor Venonat up his ass to propel him forward.
You just kind of had that on hand, huh?
you could say he pulled out of his ass
gen 1 is by far the best gen and I don't understand why people deny it
Slightly better than normal
What the actual frick is that raikou
Where's Entei?
we arguing about designs now?
here's a gen 9 pokemon i really like.
>still the peak design for 9 generations
Gen Z muritards ruined Pokemon.
Nah, but they only know what they grew up with. Middle-aged trannies have been poisoning the well for ages before Zacky Zoomer came along.
That's sad.
Trannies don't infuriate me anymore, just depress me
I only know hatred, not fricking pity.
I forget how old trannies really are. Nearly everyone cool or based from back then is a skeleton hiding homosexual now.
Also, Shitsuda. Reminder Morimoto or Unno never directed again.
