Looks like a gen 3 mon now.
open its mouth and show whale teeth and you've got an alternate wailmer design right there
And that's a good thing (or at least better than it looking like a gen 8 mon).
its anatomy is completely different anon
>completely different
>literally just sitting down
literally just sitting down except for the larger and wider body, the spots where spikes come out as opposed to quagsires fins, the larger more bulbous tail, and the different colour scheme you thick c**t, but besides that identical pal yeah
he doesn't have legs anymore just flippers like a seal
^this, same reason why Frolass isn't considered "regional"
I like those designs but they could be easily from different lines.
The difference between Glalie and Froslass is way, way more drastic than the difference between Quagsire and Clodsire
it really isn't when you realize that Glalie is the black ball inside ice and Froslass is the purple ball convered in robes
>but muh hands
it's a ghost type
Exeguttor Alola is precedence of regionals being different enough.
I agree, it just feels like a regional form, it simply isnt different enough, its just lazy quagsire.
He looks like a chocolate donut bun
Both are such a great design.
These leaks have made me so hopeful for this game bros I dont want to be disappointed and get my self hyped up.
>Both are such a great design.
Back then I bought the meme with Quag, but I honestly can't; It's just a fricking fat blob.
They're just different, but friends
nvm this art makes clodsire look good actually, i love it
it must be 10x better looking in motion
>redditors are already in love with it
I hate this franchise.
Laziness. Same with most of the rest of the regional evolutions, they're almost all just modified versions of either the Pokémon they evolved from or the evolution they're an alternative to.
Looks nice, goofy as expected but it feels more oldschool than all these moronic zoomer designs since gen 7
Some anon was saying that it's supposed to be a ribbed newt.
>ribbed newts poke their ribs through their skin to inoculate poison
>the white spots of clodsire match that
>p.wooper has a bone motiff
Most likely it will have some kind of bone poking or something similar out of the white patches.
A ribbed newt is not a spine fish though.
That's just gamefreak being hacks when it comes to the subnames for these, it fits the design perfectly tho.
And Quagsire isn't a water fish. Clodsire is called spine fish simply to relate to Quagsire in the naming scheme.
But where are the spines? Quagsire lives and shoots water. Where are clodsire's spines?
Lives in*
the guy who leaked it said spikes pop out of the spots
> "One species, the Spanish ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl), combines its poisonous skin secretions with sharp barbs running along the sides of its body; the barbs are ribs that can be forced through the animal’s skin when threatened."
I'm impressed by the detail.
amphibians are fricked up
there's a frog that breaks its fingers to create blades to slash its enemies
Metal... We need one of those, maybe Croagunk regional, they already have some kind of stab thing there.
It’s called toxicroak
You think it's the same?
regional forms are mostly just recolors or the same design but with one or two things added on
the proportions are completely different so it works better as a new pokemon
Idk but it's 10 times better, now i may actually add it to my team
They are similar but clearly different, like split evos.
Split evos are always way more different
>belossom
>vileplume
>politoed
>poliwrath
>glalie
>frosslass
>scyther
>klleaver
>mothim
>wormaddam
The opposite is way more uncommon like Gardevoir/Gallade or Slowbro/Slowking
What makes it a spine fish though?
I wish they had given it orca like eyes with the mud or smth but I can't dislike this blob really
I want to take a bit out of him and die from poisoning
I feel that the distinction between regional forms and split evos was never iron clad and was ultimately up to what the designers decided they should be. Especially now that we have convergent pokemon, perhaps genetics will one day be used as the reason/excuse for what distinguishes a regional form from a split evolution and a completely unrelated convergent pokemon.
Same reason as Runerigus
Cemented place in my team.
He looks like a turd, I love him 🙂
Even if you drew Quagsire laying on the floor it would still look completely different. Are you moronic?
There's also the argument for the tail shape, colors and typing.
Someone in GF is a capcomgay
Quagsire has arms for one. It isn't just Quagsire on all fours, the body types are different.
Tried to make it stand up like Quagsire, how we feeling bros
it doesn't really have a neck or a proper ass to stand on
Idk but i love him so much
Is he gonna be pure ground type?
poison ground
It’s no different than galarian meowth and perrserker
is it true he is Poison/Fairy? seems like a strange change.
This and Past Donphan are the only gen 9 designs I don't vehemently hate.
With stuff like this and wiggler it’s clear they’re introducing Pokémon that suggest hey are related without being the same species, same way we have Pikachu and the +/- bros, just now it’s being introduced more widely
They have a major fetish for taking older Pokemon and oversimplifying their designs.
Take pretty much any newer variant on an existing Pokemon and guaranteed their limbs will be drawn worse.
