For me it's when they ugly digitigrade legs on plantigrade animals like lizards

>they ugly digitigrade legs on plantigrade animals like lizards
in english?
Furgay terminology, plantigrade legs = legs with knees that bend forward like humans
digitgrade legs = legs with knees that bend backwards like those of dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc…
correct me if im wrong but i thought it's not so much that the knees bend backwards as much as the bones are structured in a way that looks as though it's permanently standing on its toes, creating the appareance of a backwards knee
mfw i forget to remove name after posting in a shit thread
No, you're right.
The knees are right there. That is like complaining about a human wearing shoes being digitigrade
These are very clearly digitigrade legs
I mean it’s bipedal, so it has digitigrades like dinos. They also look more visually appealing and consistent with already existing pokemon design style. Plantigrade legs just look less monstrous and animalistic.
At least dinosaurs having digitigrades legs makes sense for lizard it doesn't
It does for permanently bipedal lizards though. All bipedals IRL overtime evolve digitigrade for efficient bipedal running. Humans are just new on the evolutionary scene and run around on modified hands, essentially. Look at ostriches and T rexes. Look at prosthetic legs for paralympian runners. Digitigrade’s better.
>Digitigrade’s better.
Ewww no
Which one looks better?
Left looks like a scalie OC right doesn't
>this is somehow disgusting furshit according to mentally ill people
left looks more animalistic and cooler for me, right looks like some cartoon character who will probably participate in slapstick or something
I dont care if the right is technically more realistic bipedal lizards arent realistic
Furry detected
>looks like some cartoon character
Pokemon ARE cartoon characters
when I say cartoon character Im thinking about looney tunes or mickey mouse and friends
These are also cartoon characters just w*stern
Pokemon are species on their own world, not characters.
They are japanese cartoon characters.
Nope. They’re a species. Maybe an individual pokemon can be a character, but not a pokemon design as a whole.
>Nope. They’re a species.
A species of characters made to entertain toddlers on TV.
Nope. Species of monsters in a fictional world that fill the role of animals in their world. Some of them can be characters if they’re somehow distinct and reappear.
>Species of monsters
Specifically built to be cartoon characters for japanese kids
I already said there are characters among them if they reappear and are distinct. Not all of them are characters and species overall is not a character.
>and species overall is not a character.
In-universe, that’s a species of monsters, not a specific character.
most people dont call anime cartoons even tho technically they are, its just a turn of phrase
Shut up
Thanks for showing to the class a picture of badly designed and anatomically incorrect lizards
Since when tf do designs have to be 100% anatomically correct to the shit they're based on?
Since when you gays started complaining about muh anthromons
Since it became a genuine problem with designs constantly fricking repeating and not actually looking like monsters anymore.
This converses with Pokemon not looking like IRL animals one to one, which was never a real problem. The problem only arises when they’re literally just a fricking IRL animal with nothing different.
Shut up
>Lizards having digitigrade legs makes sense because totally different animals have those!!
God /vp/isscords are so fricking dumb
That thing is not primarily bipedal you fricking mongoloid.
Ok and? these animals are still plantigrade no matter how much you cope about muh dinosaur having it
Dinosaurs show what would happen if an IRL lizard evolved into primarily bipedal locomotion. It’s just the better/more efficient way of getting around you idiot.
>Dinosaur
>A lizard
>putting words In people’s mouth to call them moronic
>putting words In people’s mouth to call them moronic
i don't need to do that for you 😉
Bipedal reptiles are all digitigrade like dinosaurs. Muh temporary running doesn’t show evolution to bipedalism. Humans are just an exception because we just sprung into the evolution scene. Almost EVERY bipedal….anything is digitigrade.
Please understand there still are morons out here who thinks dinosaur = lizards
Cope and seethe. The only IRL lizards that actually adapted to bipedalism in any way do it via digitigrade locomotion.
Forgot image
>Talks about digitigrade reptiles while posting an image of a plantigrade lizard
What did schizo meant with this?
/an/igger autism is leaking
No an argument
i wasnt arguing, i was stating a fact.
That's just another way of saying you don't have any arguments
Anon you posted an animal that isn’t primarily a biped, so it has no relevance to how a bipedal pokemon should be designed, lizard or not.
Lizards shoudn't have digitigrade legs it's fricking stupid
If lizards evolved to be bipedal they’d evolve to have digitigrade legs. Its a literal non issue
thats because i do not need an arguement, ESL-kun.
No.
We're really at the point where mfs are b***hing about the leg shapes of FAKE Pokemon designs
There are two morons b***hing over something even dumber right now
The guy who was triggered over Raging Bolt started this.
>mfs
mf singular. this autist has been shitting his pantaloons over leg shapes in every fakemon thread for the past year lmao
don't really care that much about any fakemon tropes besides making the water starter a fish/dolphin because
A) it's uncreative
B) it fundimentally completely misses the point of water starters
Dolphins breathe air. Is is more justified than being a fish like Mudkip.
good thing they made Finizen the gen 9 water starter then
>Mudkip
>fish
>puts carvanha for no reason
> hey, you know what would be great? a gay sceptile!
...said no one ever
Designs that translate poorly into spritework/models/animation.
To be honest I, I don't like anything about fakemons. Or official pokemo. As a matter of fact I loathe the slimy little fricks. They can all go through a sausage grinder for all I care, I just play the games for the trainer sprites.
And this is the evolution

The frick?
Quality looks old af compared to the prevo
>Bipedal becomes quadrupedal
Always shit when it happens
Fakemons tend to suffer from one or more of the following
>Uninspired design because the creator only cared about the raw concept without actually having a good idea for how to execute it. You saw this all the fricking time with dolphins and grass/fire peppers.
>Tendency to have weird design elements that you never really see in pokemon, like unusual proportions or body shapes, being overly realistic objectmons, or being excessively detailed. This is a bit of a nebulous and subjective complaint but when you got a good feel for what a pokemon should be it's the biggest one that always makes fakemons look off.
>The art is usually poor, with problems like bad perspective or lineart, that make it feel unprofessional.
