Porygon wasn't lazily based off another game IP like some bad deviantart fakemon. It was just loosely based off of a drinky-bird and a joke of having a 3D polygon also being a 2D sprite.
it's quite literally a Digimon. A actual digital monster
OP is some how "natural". Back in the day most objectmons were explained by being man made. Look at that maid robot thing back in like, gen 6? Now they just say "nature found a way..." to explain their lazy shit lore

Geodude is worse because of the humanlike qualities. At least Naclistack looks like an actual creature based on its environment.
[...]
Yes yes, keep defending gamefreak, i'm sure that's working out very well for the franchise
Didn't you hear? Obviously the amount of times something sells is equivalent to how good it is.
I'm not defending the games. The Pokemon designs are always the one thing they try to be creative and unique with. That's the one element of Pokemon that hasn't been fricked with completely.

isn't comparing it to an existing pokemon inherently against the idea the new one is creative and unique? doesn't having an existing creature to deflect too just defeat your own point of them trying to do something different?

they're not trying to defend the new ones though. the people trying to say its the same as the old things are the ones trying to claim that makes them ok somehow, and all that does is invite comparisons

This shouldn't surprise you. The only way they'll truly be running out of ideas is when they start passing off literal recolors as new Pokemon, which is essentially what they've been doing since 2016 on a small scale, so take that as you will.

homie Geodude is a boulder with arms. C'mon now. Never mind Naclistack is the middle form and the final form takes cues from inca pyramids.

brother, geodude is based as is, and his final form doesn’t need cues of man made structures to make it “unique”

So, who wants to explain the irony to this anon?
Porygon was based off of early 90s 3D graphics and reminds me of Reboot and and transformers Beast Wars and is therefore ok. That pokemon is based off of Minecraft which I did not play as a child because I was a jaded teenager when it got popular and is therefore trash.
Porygon had a better design concept
It's an intentionally abstracted monster design, but it maintains the general shape of one, it's essentially a low poly, pink and blue duck. This just looks like 5 cubes pasted together with some eyes arbitrarily pasted on, even if it's attempting to mimic how certain geologic formations can have peculiar symmetry, it doesn't come close to accomplishing that
What is
A pile of sludge
A pile of sludge but bigger
A pokeball with eyes
An inverted pokeball with eyes but bigger
A magnet
Three magnets
A fish
A bird
A bird but bigger
A bird but bigger still
A different bird
Said different bird but it gets a long beak
Many many more pokemon from all generations that are just THING but with magical powers
>pokemon ALWAYS had shitty lazy designs, so it's okay that it still does now!
Only a dumb pokehomosexual could make an argument like this. Normal people expect a highly successful franchise to improve over the course of decades, not stagnate.
Your "argument" only makes the new designs look even worse.
You fricktards have been whining that Pokemon have become overdesigned since fricking forever and NOW you're fricking whining that that they're too simple?
Pokemon was always good. You're just too stupid to appreciate it and you focus on the aspect you don't like so much that it dominates your perception. Must suck going through life as a contrarian NPC
What the hell is the point of this image? I've never seen anyone moronic enough to claim that any of these Pokemon are ripping off their vaguely similar predecessors. Generation is pretty good, random lines all over everything notwithstanding.
However, Swalot is a shit design.
>pokemon ALWAYS had shitty lazy designs, so it's okay that it still does now!
Uh, yes?
Imagine going to a dollar store and complaining that everything that you buy in there is cheaply made. Everyone expects that walking in. Complaining about it now isn't going to change anything when it's been normal since it's inception.
This LITERALLY Minecraft. That is something they made because Minecraft exists. It's pre-evo is a Mario mushroom. And Pokegays are STILL fricking defending it
The enw designs are only bad cause game freak cant fricking do 3d designs that are good, cause of hardware limits
Imagine when they could do if they designed for modern systems.
>Imagine when they could do if they designed for modern systems
Probably something even worse like Manlly and it's just a realistic man.
Everything still looks like pokemon but Manlly is just Joel from tlou.
It is most certainly not hardware limits kek
Monster hunter has to deal with hardware limits, and they still make highly detailed models that looks great when ported to pc
No, this is pure incompetence of gramefreak's part
He cute
pretty sure that's some new Minecraft golem
I mean it's evolution basically is an iron golem
mineycrafta
What's the difference between this and say, Porygon?
Only one makes people this salty.

porygon was part of my childhoood and is therefore beyond reproach
Porygon killed more kids
Porygon didn't do shit. Pikachu was the one who created the light show.

He looks more detailed and vaguely like some kind of bird creature while the turd in the OP looks like an ugly minecraft reject.
Poyrgon isn't a literal minecraft reference

can this minecraft looking mf give me seizures?
no? gtfo
Porygon was designed before Minecraft, this looks like Minecraft
Pretty sure cubes of salt existed long before the concept of video games.
around here cubes of salt exist because of video games.
i think this ones a rock type, while porygon is normal for some reason.
What was porygon? At the time a totally unique anomaly to the standard 149 Pokémon around it.

Frick off joe
The arguments haven't changed a bit since they popped up in Gen IV and V. It's the same shit.
>dewgong is a dugong
looks more like a seal to me
still different from a walrus though
Obviously, but the point still stands.
Will it keep standing if you post some of the new horrid mons?
Go for it, post whichever ones you'd like.
>also leek duck will never evolve
bold claim he made back then
Unovaborts are something else, ain’t they
Banned from /vp/ again, huh yawngay.

Ever considered you’re the minority opinion?
You should knowby now that no one agrees with you yawngay. Now run along any cry yourself to sleep or something.

more like the increasingly lazy games they're making
yeah

Those are concept, which is different from design. OP's Pokemon is fine in concept, it just looks like shit.
Yes yes, keep defending gamefreak, i'm sure that's working out very well for the franchise
Didn't you hear? Obviously the amount of times something sells is equivalent to how good it is.
>naclstack
couldn't even call it saltstack? how do you say nacl?
these have soul
Nack-ull
Thats a lego set
there's a number of new pokemon I like
this is not one of them
I have trouble suspending disbelief in the idea that this is a Pokemon.
And what about this?
Nice peripheral vision gay
Could've been cool, salt pyramid ruins it.
I think it's supposed to be one of the limestone quarries that exist in Spain. But yeah it'd be a cool design if it wasn't for the stupid ass piramid
got one of these guys with ghost tera type and curse, mixed with his ability this guy is a tank
>what if we took the Regi- line and gave it a modern touch
Truly awful
>>what if we took the Regi- line and gave it a modern touch
You're one gen out buddy

It looks like something a kid new to minecraft would try to make.
a worse gigalith
Garganacl is resistant to Ghost, immune to status ailments, and has a move to threaten Steel and Water pokemon with so uh not really bro
>better in hp/sp.def/speed
>better ability/moves
bro?
this shit is rolycoly all over again
In hindsight, this image was almost prophetic.
Threef, ?1?1, and Beeeeee look great.
Beeeeee was Dundunsparce
>pokemon clover
no thanks
What the frick happened?
Looks cool
The people who are acting like minecraft invented block based designs are the same people who say that fortnite invented the cell shaded artstyle.
there is only one good thing about the new game
and it's this boy
Something about the lighting and shadows on this thing just doesn't look right. Anyone else?
Can't wait for the Fortnite pokemon.
You want a Mario mushroom with that?
If you think this is bad, then whatever you do don't look up Maushold. You have been warned.
you werent kidding wtf is this shit???
It's in remembrance of Abe.
Looks like it's in doggy style position.
This LITERALLY Minecraft. That is something they made because Minecraft exists. It's pre-evo is a Mario mushroom. And Pokegays are STILL fricking defending it
The enw designs are only bad cause game freak cant fricking do 3d designs that are good, cause of hardware limits
Imagine when they could do if they designed for modern systems.
>cause of hardware limits
The only thing limiting them is their incompetence.

Explain this!
