>I was a believer from the start.
No you weren't.
Duraludon is one of the most hated pokemon on /vp/. (even on other sites) I fully expect to see a bunch of threads like this now, because it's getting an evo and will be stronger. You're all a bunch of cucks, I actually have more respect for people who still say duraludon is ugly than the one turncoating and saying they were always fans. You Black folk did this with the genies, Eiscue, Gholdengo and now this. I'm sure there's more I'm missing but these threads are so predictable at this point. The real Duraludon fans (which are few) aren't making these stupid threads saying they were always fans.
TLDR: KYS
>Duraludon is one of the most hated pokemon on /vp/
Which is a sure sign that it has fans.
No, you kys you pajeetBlack person
I was a believer from the start, why else would I have a shiny, Beast Ball one anyway?(also has Gmax factor but doesn't matter anymore)
>I was a believer from the start, why else would I have a shiny, Beast Ball one anyway?
The fact you're making a big deal about it putting a pokemon in a "beast ball" is the biggest giveaway. Beastball is the defacto ball for genn/cloned pokemon. It's easy to Genn Pokemon especially now in SwSh. Why would you think anyone would care you have a shiny in a beast ball? I don't care if you genned a pokemon, but don't pretend you were always a fan. Real duraludon fans were silent all these years and now """""suddenly" there's surge of "I was always a fan".
Bullshit Black person.
nta but what the frick are you even talking about? What kind of schizo rant is this shit? Of course fans of Duraludon would """""'suddenly"""""" start talking about it now that its fricking relevant, you mongoloid. How do you dress yourself in the morning with that barely functioning brain cell of yours.
I agree, Just like they were "'suddenly" always fans.
>There aren't a million threads spammed everyday about love for Duraludon, therefore nobody likes it
Anon, don't make me use the paddle...
Normies didn't even like Duraludon, they always paired Raihan with Flygon. Just saying
>Headcanon
That's it, the paddle's coming out
Most of the fanart of Raihan is with Flygon/Trapinch. You have any idea how hard it was to find decent art of Raihan with his actual Ace?
Literally the first pic I found of Raihan from the first booru I searched was him with Duraludon.
Isn't that a recent official image? I was talking about during the height of SwSh, the amount of art on Twitter of Raihan and Flygon hilariously outnumbered anything with Duraludon.
No idea, but for good measure the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th images of him with mons were also with Duraludon, with the 5th being just Goodra. Point is, I'm seeing a fair amount of Duraludon, and it's not difficult to find.
>I'm seeing a fair amount of Duraludon, and it's not difficult to find.
I forgot that Goodra was posted alot with him as well. It has been awhile and I can't speak for now, but during it's height Duraludon was nowhere to be seen. Is it because of unite?
Nice schizo post tho, gotta give you that.
Post favorite Pokemon
>Nice schizo post tho, gotta give you that.
Yeah I am seething. But I'll get over it. Pic related is my favorite
> Real duraludon fans were silent all these years and now """""suddenly" there's surge of "I was always a fan".
I've been a massive Duraludongay since it was revealed. If you go to Pokemon Unite threads circa it's inclusion in 2022 I was probably a solid half of the posts that were actual excited about it rather than b***hing (pretty sure I posted this exact piece of fanart too).
Cope, seethe, mald, etc. etc.
Lol that looks like a urinal
>it's a urinal
>it's a toilet

People see all sorts of things in it, but the resemblance is only vague in most cases. Sign that it's a good design
He's obviously larping. He's going: "LOVE MY SHINEY BEAST BOLL DURALDON! I ALWAYS FAN!!", like a broken record, yet hasn't posted any evidence at all with an in-game timestamp. Curious
Hmm. Very strange. You're posting on this board as if you're an actual human, yet I fail to see any evidence that you're real, and not some bot. Curious that you've yet to post pics, a timestamp, and your social security as proof.. hiding something, perhaps?
Take your meds
Post feet and a timestamp NOW
nta, but here's a pic of my Shiny lvl 100 Heavy Ball Duraludon instead, just so you know someone cares
>timestamp
too lazy, just reverse image search it if you're so paranoid
By in-game timestamp, it means the date it was caught, which appears in the summary screen moronkun
Here ya go
And yeah, that 2 month gap was me dropping the game with the egg still in my party, coming back for the DLC's launch, hatching it, and being met with a shiny.

Alright, you get a pass.
>Heavy Ball
Based. Might need to do this myself. Not OP but I have Beast Ball ones that I've used, but Heavy might win me over on Archaludon
have a nice day niggehomosexual
Only going to post my Home screenshot.

eww
I am from Europe, I play the game in Spanish so I learn it better.
How does it feel knowing only 1 language? Can't be me
>I am from Europe
And this makes you..white?
Beast Ball is a third-world bait ball. It's like how Dragonball has a massive cult of mexicans. The fact you made a big deal about the ball was a dead giveaway. You can't even get your natures right. This
guy came with proofs. You're a fake fan that is jumping on to the hype train. There's no reason to Larp as a long-time fan.
Alright, you got me, or not.
I am not gonna lift a single finger to prove to you that my Duraludon is legit(it is). I just don't care enough about your opinion.
>You can't even get your natures right
Oh yeah apparently I am this stupid(in your schizophrenic mind).
Anyway, off to the gym; a White supremacist is going to the gym today, are you?
>Heh I'm off to gym, btw did I mention I speak three different languages and I have a hot girlfriend?(legal btw just like my Duraludon)
Yeah ok, have fun anon.
I am also from Europe and ESL, thus why I wrote sp*nish
>Thirdworlder
100% Genned. Fake Fan. KYS.
>serious nature
holy shit, what are you doing?
It's been Mint'd, seemingly with a Brave nature, which is even worse than Serious. Rules out it being hacked, at least.
That's Timid, not Brave.
I absolutely agree, but I always loved the Kamis.
You say you agree with his false dichotomy, and then immediately contradict it.
Yes. It's possible to agree completely with most of what he said if you include the one exception to what he said.
>even on other sites
post proof
Why would someone hate Gholdengo?
I mained Duraludon for the brief time I was really into Unite. Wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan, but I like it overall now, and I’m pretty happy it got an evo with a design I like more.
Never liked Duralidon. This one is vastly better.
Duraludon is fine, if a bit awkward, but this new one looks sick as frick. Looks like an Ultraman Kaiju, or like something out of Gridman. Considering Pokemon was based most heavily on Kaiju (and yokai) to begin with, that makes this line immediately objectively based and soulpilled.
>he's never seen an episode of any toku in his life
I want you to look at me with a straight face, and tell me that this motherfricker isnt on the same level of crazy weirdness that Archaludon is. After you fail the lie detector test, you must forfeit all worldly possessions to me.
People who dislike the Duraludon line would hate Ultra kaiju
This is a cool starfish monster
Duraludon looks like a moronic toilet
If Gamefreak released a Pokemon that looks like two starfish-men with a realistic bat head in the middle /vp/ would call it a shit design and claim that gen 10 was a mistake
This board's tastes are too bland for Pokemon or Ultraman, among the Pokemon that most of Ganker likes there's not a single weird design
wow it's like design philosophies and what fans come to except between two different ips are different or something
actually you're half right. If Gamefreak released a Pokemon that looks like two starfish-men with a realistic bat head that was a competitive monster, people on /vp/ willl say it has a good design and they were always fans.
I slightly prefer it to its pre-evo simply because it looks even more moronic, fricking stapler lookingass
Ursaluna 3
Kingambit is already Ursaluna 2. Just swap the HP and Def and Kingambit has basically the same stat distribution.
GO GO POWER RANGERS
Is it a staplermon or a bridgemon?
Archaludon is probably the worst pokemon design ever. It's an objectmon with no silhouette, not believable as a living creature, its object mode can't even perform its function or serve as a disguise like other objectmons (unless it's supposed to be a bridge for ants), its color scheme that makes no sense and adds colors to Duraludon's palette arbitrarily, it doesn't look like its type, it's overdesigned to shit, and despite all the design compromises to make its bridge form work, it ends up looking like a staple remover instead.
if this thing had come out in gen 4 or 5 you would all be rightfully shitting on it but Slop/Shit and Scat/Vomit mindbroke (You) so hard this is somehow acceptable now
TRUTH.
>its object mode can't even perform its function or serve as a disguise like other objectmons
One of the very first objectmons completely failed in making it's object-like appearance resemble any form of practical camoflauge, though. It's several times bigger than an actual Pokeball, meaning a human would have to be a moron in order to fall for it making it fail as a mimic, and since other Pokemon have no reason to be drawn to the Pokeball shape, it also fails as a natural disguise
> It's several times bigger than an actual Pokeball
but in the overworld it looks exactly like the item pokeballs, which is why it functions just fine as a mimic. That only stopped working once the series moved to 3D and scale started playing a bigger part, which (You) would know if (You) weren't a discord zoomer who's never played a game before XY
So you admit that the scale doesnt matter then, since its real size doesnt correlate to its function. Good!
No, I'm not going to ignore the only possible practical excuse for it's design to function falling apart with the slightest bit of thought just because "it's le game" you onions-chugging millenial homosexual.
the point of Voltorb is that it looks exactly like the item balls in the overworld until you fight it and you realize that not only is it too big to be a pokeball, it's alive. It's almost as if deceiving the player is the entire reason for a mimic to exist.
>It's almost as if deceiving the player is the entire reason for a mimic to exist.
Which is why other games' mimics show this off by making it so that said mimic's appearance is functionally indistinguishable from the chest it's imitating until the attack in both gameplay AND design, making it so that the player can go "aw damn I was tricked" while also not thinking afterwards "wait, how does this work?".
Dragon Quest's used this mimic design for nearly it's entire life without changes, even after moving to 3D, because they understood from the get go the basis of a mimic is to be believably deceptive in both the meta sense AND in-universe, because what the frick is the POINT of a mimic in a game if it's not even believable in that game's already fantastical setting?
>b-b-b-but they HAD to make it a Pokeball!!!
Didn't have to make it several times bigger than one.
So no, this isn't an excuse. Go frick yourself you nostalgiablind apologist.
The anime characters fell for the mimic trap in the first season, size doesn't matter.
>It's an objectmon with no silhouette
It's silhouette not resembling a bridge is cool
>not believable as a living creature
It not being believable as a living creature is fun
>its object mode can't even perform its function
Its object mode does serve a function
>or serve as a disguise like other objectmons
Most objectmons do not serve as a disguise
>its color scheme that makes no sense and adds colors to Duraludon's palette arbitrarily
Its color scheme follows good color theory
>it doesn't look like its type
It does look like a Steel and Dragon
>it's overdesigned to shit
Overdesigned is a meaningless meme
>it ends up looking like a staple remover instead
It having an abstract form looks unique
>if this thing had come out in gen 4 or 5 you would all be rightfully shitting on it
If it came out in Gen 4 or 5 I would have used it on my Gen 4 or 5 team
>but Slop/Shit and Scat/Vomit mindbroke (You) so hard this is somehow acceptable now
I accept and love Archaludon
>It's silhouette not resembling a bridge is coo
its* silhouette doesn't resemble anything, that's the problem. And yes, it is a problem, because a strong silhouette is the first rule of character design.
>It not being believable as a living creature is fun
No it's not, it's stupid and immersion-breaking.
> Its object mode does serve a function
yeah the function of being an eyesore for ledditors like you to jakface over
> Most objectmons do not serve as a disguise
I never said "most" did. Go back to school Rajesh maybe and learn to read and write proper English.
> Its color scheme follows good color theory
it doesn't. it adds yellow to the palette which is a complimentary to purple. It has purple nowhere in the design.
> It does look like a Steel and Dragon
no, it looks like a steel/electric type, especially with all the yellow energy in the bridge form.
> Overdesigned is a meaningless meme
only because people know it's true and treat it like a meme because they don't know how to counter-argue.
> It having an abstract form looks unique
no it doesn't
>If it came out in Gen 4 or 5 I would have used it on my Gen 4 or 5 team
that only makes you more of a tastelet, not less.
>So you admit that the scale doesnt matter then
in 2D, correct. Because gameplay abstractions make up for that inconsistency. In 3D it does matter.
Disingenuous homosexual.
I'm not going to argue against the argument "it's söy to defend old pokemon design philosophy but somehow it isn't söy to shill for the most nu-gen of nugen designs" against a newbie that doesn't even know what a word filter is, maybe lurk a bit more and you'll know what words actually mean and how to not make yourself look like a troony discord raider
>it's söy to defend old pokemon design philosophy but somehow it isn't söy to shill for the most nu-gen of nugen designs"
>putting words in my mouth because you can't actually argue the point
Typical
>its* silhouette doesn't resemble anything, that's the problem. And yes, it is a problem, because a strong silhouette is the first rule of character design.
Strong sillhouette =/= looking like a previously recognizable thing. You can tell its Archaludon by its sillhouette. Ie; it is good
>No it's not, it's stupid and immersion-breaking.
No it isn't, it reinforces the fantasy world Pokemon has always been set in. Ie; it is good
>yeah the function of being an eyesore for ledditors like you to jakface over
And to stabilize its center of gravity and allow energy flow to fire focused high powered energy beams. Ie; it is good
>I never said "most" did. Go back to school Rajesh maybe and learn to read and write proper English.
I never said you said most did, just pointing out that most others dont and Archaludon follows Pokemon's pre-existing design trends Ie; it is good
>it doesn't. it adds yellow to the palette which is a complimentary to purple. It has purple nowhere in the design.
Duraludon already has yellow in it's design, colorblind-kun. Yellow is also a complementary color to blue, which both Duraludon and Archaludon both have. The highlights of the red and yellow are also both hue shifted towards orange, which helps in presenting them as blue's opposite color, which creates a sound visual contrast. Ie; it is good
>no, it looks like a steel/electric type, especially with all the yellow energy in the bridge form.
It also has a draconic form, clearly influence by Kaiju, which have historically been translated as Dragon type. Ie; it is good
>only because people know it's true and treat it like a meme because they don't know how to counter-argue.
Incorrect, and Archaludon is not overdesign. Ie; it is good
>no it doesn't
No other design looks like Archaludon, thus it is objectively, quantifiably unique. Ie; it is good
>that only makes you more of a tastelet, not less.
Archaludon is desireable, and thus worth putting on a team. Ie; it is good
homie arch got revealed alongside paradox Raikou and THIS is the one you're choosing to b***h about?? it's a bridge!! it's fricking hilarious
Voltorb is not a good designed pokemon. It's a pokeball with eyes. If Voltorb came out now it would be insulted, but it gets a pass because KANTO
I want to see how the porn will be made
what's with all of the schizos in this thread
I never really gave a shit about duraludon but I kind of like archaludon, it's got issues but it at least tries something with the evolution.
how mindbroken do you have to be to assume that everyone that doesn't have the same opinion as you is lying
cross gen evos after gen 4 were a mistake
we have reached record high levels of bootlicking
It happens everytime a pokemon becomes viable for competitive or "good". Hate it the previous day, bootlicking the next
>we have reached record high levels of bootlicking
we already reach the bottom when h-samurott came out
This dude just looks way too silly lmao, Eiscue, Carkoal and even its pre-evo look normal in comparison
Carkol is an abomination so ugly you forgot how to spell it. They could add a mon that’s just a seething mass of wingdings characters and it’d be better designed than fricking Carkol.
i fully expect this to be a slow bulky attacker (ex. ursaluna, kingambit), but it will probably still be good if it's bulky enough to abuse stamina body press.
Despite modern Pokémon’s many issues, the cross Gen evolutions have been top notch. Ursaluna, Farigiraf, Kingambit, this thing, etc really are rivaling the OG Johto cross Gen evos.
