They probably altered the design as to not risk infringing on Pushmi-Pullyu. But as the other anon said, the current design still works with the concept. The evolution just throws everything out the window for the fricking hoodies.
>Pushmi-Pullyu
This is actually correct, I believe. Same reason Porygon 2's beta design was changed (it was a clear Pon de Lion reference/infringement).
If the ability that blocks priority moves works exactly as phrased and shown in trailers it is a broken as frick Pokemon because by being on the field it disables >Fake out >Follow me >extreme speed etc >Protect
Not to mention it potentially blocks all Prankster shenanigans. Cucks like Wolfey are butthurt about this possibility because they don't want to have to think up new playstyles to counter it.
Changes the shape to basically a regular giraffe with a cap, but keeps the palindrom name.
If it was just a standalone pokemon it'd be fine, but as a girafarig evolution it completely ignores the design direction.

The concept is a palindrome, two sides mirrored in purpose. Farigiraf's design doesn't build on that concept, it directly contradicts it.
Why are you basing your argument on the English names? Farigiraf's Japanese name is no longer a palindrome, which fits with the Pokemon no longer being mirrored.
This, I'm tired of "Pokemon but the gimmick is human attributes slapped on top"
Remember when that shit was extremely 1% of Pokemon and were always a pop reference to cultural influences that actually mattered? Not "random thot in quirky hoodie XD".
Anon look at the design in OP
It's literally a giraffe in a quirky hoodie, even the legs have this "puffy" look despite being "biologically part of the giraffe"

holy frick you people are moronic, literally nothing about it is supposed to be that? is this a joke?
Man genuine question, do you ever pull your head out of your ass or is it congenitally in there?
Oh, don't forget to anounce you accept my concession while you stumble around your frickwit butthole to come up with a "witty" response to 'win' your internet fight, homosexual.
>make new Pokémon variation >won’t be able to transfer it to new games
They did the same shit with the variations in Arceus. At this point, why not just stop?
there's definitely going to be SOME sort of dumb catch to it's evolution method
It'll probably be a regional evolution, depends on what they do with Wyrdeer, Kleavor and Ursaluna though since they could also just be regular evolutions now.
We need new cross-gen evos that actually stick around, if they pull regional evolution shit I'll be mad.
All the more reason to give him a real evolution to match what people expect of a regular Giraffe
It’s the same situation with having weird monkey’s and Apes until Rillaboom gave us a real Gorilla
>make new Pokémon variation >won’t be able to transfer it to new games

Farigiraf is a true evolution from regular Girafarig though
They’ll most likely make it something that will be retconned in a future game to include it.
>Farigiraf is a true evolution from regular Girafarig though

Nah, it will only evolve in that region. Same thing with regular cubone evolving into that fire ghost in alola.
neat design but there was no need to turn girafarig, a formerly perfectly androgynous pokemon, into a prostitute with its eyelashes and mascara. They cannot design without subtlety anymore. Gen 1 ninetales is how you correctly make a feminine design without taking it through the makeup cabinet.
It grew on me when I started seeing how it was animated
It’s adult Giraffe body frame is cooler, and the head still operating separately from the main head and body is great.
In Scarlet Violet we're also getting Dunsparce, Primape and Bisharp, 2/3 of the PLA cross gen evos were gen 2 mons too. I feel like it's because gen 2 just has a lot of single stage shitmons.
Yep, entire pokedex was leaked. No actual images for a lot of the mons but this leak has been 100% accurate so far.
https://www.makio.it/pokemon/sv-dex/
Keep in mind most of the designs here are fanart
Since Primeape is already strong I could see them doing something like Scizor or Porygon-Z where it gets rearranged stats instead of being better than the previous stage.
Man Primeape wasn't even good in Gen 1 but this is just sad, I looked him up too out of curiosity he is just straight up bad Passimian.
im sick to death of pokemon stat creep. they are working in such a constrained space but they keep inflating shit. if you dont want the game balance to be shit stop giving pokemon 600 or more total stats and heavily limit the move pools of 500+ statters. god damn they are dumb

Anon Primeape was bad even in Gen 1, there is not really stat power creep besides Gen V which introduced stupid "Gen 1 2.0" Pokemon like Conkelldur and Excadrill
>Corsola, Mr. Mime, Linoone, Basculin, Qwillfish and Farfetch'd got new evolutions >But they're all specifically regional evolutions so they're not a proper addition to the line
It's not fair
Overdue. And don't pretend you used it beforehand, it was just another Gen II Pokemon taking up space in later gens. Now you can use it properly in a battle.
Considering it has a decent movepool and abilities, it just needs more BST, expecially on HP, and a radical shift of stats from special attack and defense into physical.
Basically: she needs an evolution. Something like a bug/fighting kamen rider, also fits with the motorcycle theme of the new games.
New unique move
5 Star Barrage
40 power
Physical
Bug type
Increases the users attack, special attack, special defense, defense, and speed by one stage, then inflicts damage. Then use baton pass.
The design isn't bad exactly but it throws away the concept behind girafarig, what's the point?
girafarig itself already threw away its own concept in beta so it's hard to care anymore
anyway the design sucks and more importantly this pokemon will be complete garbage in terms of viability, I guarantee it
The finished design isn't literal like the beta design but it keeps the idea, unlike the OP

It doesn't. The two heads now work together, it builds on the concept.

It looks diseased.
The fact that it's an actual evolution instead of a cheap regional form makes me happy.
Don't care about the design or the game tbf
People like this are why Pokemon continues to sell tens of millions of copies.
I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Crystal kek, the fact that I say I don't care about the game should clue you in about my interest on it.
And that’s a good thing!!!!
there's definitely going to be SOME sort of dumb catch to it's evolution method
yup.
'level up while being taller than 6'0"
fricking manlets, they never win.
It'll probably be a regional evolution, depends on what they do with Wyrdeer, Kleavor and Ursaluna though since they could also just be regular evolutions now.

SELF VORE GIRAFFE SEXOOOO
terrifying
I’m mixed on this since I like seeing these older Pokémon finally get an evolution but I also think it’s more unique to only have a single stage.
Single stages are fine as long as the Pokémon is good. Girafarig is not good
>no you don't understand we NEED another Bruxish!
>two isn't enough
Post the gif.
I love it
It’s finally an actual Giraffe and not just a horse with a Giraffe color scheme.
>he doesn't know about the pygmy giraffes
it's not like size scaling was ever game freak's strong suit, just look at wailord
All the more reason to give him a real evolution to match what people expect of a regular Giraffe
It’s the same situation with having weird monkey’s and Apes until Rillaboom gave us a real Gorilla
You do know Pronghorns are Giraffes right?
Okay and?
Doesn’t change my point, when people think Giraffe, they think a tall mother fricker.

Japs literally have been like this for decades it fricking sucks.
It grew on me when I started seeing how it was animated
It’s adult Giraffe body frame is cooler, and the head still operating separately from the main head and body is great.
i'm pretty sure the first time i saw this thing it was an edited pic to give it thigh-highs and i didn't even question it
Why is it only gen 2 mons that get these evolutions years later? First in Gen 4 and now in Gen 9.
In Scarlet Violet we're also getting Dunsparce, Primape and Bisharp, 2/3 of the PLA cross gen evos were gen 2 mons too. I feel like it's because gen 2 just has a lot of single stage shitmons.
Was there a leak? First I'm hearing of this
Yep, entire pokedex was leaked. No actual images for a lot of the mons but this leak has been 100% accurate so far.

Before you say any leaks were fake, this is real because Farigiraf was actually leak since July and this is proof.

It's over.
Since Primeape is already strong I could see them doing something like Scizor or Porygon-Z where it gets rearranged stats instead of being better than the previous stage.

>Dunsparce
please no
the whole idea behind this pokemon is to be this pointless weak thingthat was somewhat rare to catch
The leaks say the evolution is just Dunsparce but bigger, apparently it has multiple forms though
>They specifically gave Basculin a regional form so that regular Basculin won't get an evolution
I'm mad, Basculegion is so cool.
Love it. It will make for a wonderful baton passer for my Scarlet team.
For a second, I thought it looked like a Keyblade from the thumbnail
>eyelash
HNNNNNGG IM GONNA COOM BUT NOT BUY THE GAME CAUSE I DONT PLAY POKEMON!!!!!
>Corsola, Mr. Mime, Linoone, Basculin, Qwillfish and Farfetch'd got new evolutions
>But they're all specifically regional evolutions so they're not a proper addition to the line
It's not fair
Just imagine how tanky Eviolite Girafarig will be.
>70/65/65 defenses
doesn't seem worth it at face value
cool if only because it led me to see this bad ass art like pic related
sexo
looks like she (male) gives sloppy BJs
Imagine how tight it is.
probably not very.
Ungulates have tighter pussies than primates.
if a baby giraffe can fit through that then it's gonna be huge around my dingdong
imagine the double layer blowjob
Imagine the double layer mouthplay
it's a bit goofy looking but it's still cool and far better than anything else they showed off so far. Still not buying though
are the artgays here to draw porn of it sucking me off yet?
A drawgay made POV vore of one already so anything's possible
you can't just say that and not post it
I did not care for girafarig to begin with, now I think it just looks dumb
It grew on me thanks to e621.
Overdue. And don't pretend you used it beforehand, it was just another Gen II Pokemon taking up space in later gens. Now you can use it properly in a battle.

Looks silly, even by pkmn "standards".
It looks pretty good. How about this one?

Only passable pokemon so far. Not good, just passable.
Fix him
+100 atk
+100 speed

Why does she have bedroom eyes?
