It looks so fucking bad. This is the coolest design they could think of?

You'd say this no matter what it looked like

>>716136365 (OP)
It would look 10 times cooler with the wings on its back

>>716136365 (OP)
idk it looks kinda cute :3

>>716136365 (OP)
The ball on his tail feels like a designer asked "shit, we made the tail larger, but it still looks plain, what do we do?" before slapping some random crap on it and calling it a day

>>716136365 (OP)
What is that? Mega Dragonite?

It's crazy how fucking bad in general pokemon looks. No one else could get away with that shit, but because it's called pokemon, it gets a free pass.

No wonder they're trying to sue Palworld, they genuinely can't do better.

>>716136883
Callback to Dragonair I suppose

>>716137106
why would it devolve

>No wonder they're trying to sue Palworld, they genuinely can't do better.

Dragonite always looked retarded. Never understood the fans for that ugly shitmon.

they should have made it blue

>>716136365 (OP)
oh this render looks cuter than it does ingame. It'd be cool if it gets a fairy typing or aerilate as an ability

Head Wings have ALWAYS been stupid looking, but making them huge is a great way to make them look even dumber

>>716137336
>inb4 that's the shiny

WINGS ON HEAD RETARDED

>>716137258
Same. We have badass mons like Nidoking, Charizard and Gyarados in the same gen. Dragonite looks like what I hate the later gens for.

Dragonair should've gotten the mega evolution. TDD

>>716137456
it's still going to be puke green and pink and you know it.

>>716137336
That's racist.

moomin looking ass

>>716137182
Because dragonair looks better in every way

>>716136365 (OP)
So are they going to add in mega stones again or is this just going to awkwardly be the only Mega in the entire game?

>>716137650
if moomin is a moomintroll is snorkmaiden a snorktroll?

>>716137336
just hire fans

>>716136365 (OP)

dragonite is a goofy fucker no matter what so i like it

No wonder they're suing palworld if that's the best they can come up with lmao

I'll give you 30 minutes

>>716137741
Since this one was leaked and it looked exactly like the leak said it would, then it's most likely legit as a whole and there are 27 new megas. You can look it up.

>Randomly looks angry for no reason

American detected

>>716137741
There were a bunch of other new megas leaked (about as many as the original XY batch by the looks of things) which have now been confirmed real because this was one of them, most of them sound retarded though. No idea why they only revealed one today.

>>716138123
Nobody show him the original sprite

I think this might be the worst case for the pokemon community
>proper pokemon fans think it's shit
>the retarded part of the fanbase are mad that it's more gen1 pandering but at the same time have to pretend it's good because it's a modern pokemon design
>no one is happy

lol

>>716136365 (OP)
OH NO NO NO LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD

>>716136365 (OP)
Ha ha, it's funny because you could say the same thing about base Dragonite compared to Dragonair.

>>716136365 (OP)
it looks retarded, but then again most megas looked retarded so I guess it's only natural
>>716137336
true
>>716137785
this looks so much better

>>716138123
>Randomly looks angry for no reason
Lore wise a lot of mega evolutions are extremely painful transformations

>>716138123
>>Randomly looks angry for no reason
it looks angry in it's heightened combat form? waow

>>716138123
obsessed

>>716137775
Snorkmaiden is a snork. They are different from moomintrolls.

>>716138123
He's not angry, he's motivated with the spirit of the samurai. Something the Japanese don't have anymore.

You realize many Mega designs have traits from their pre-evolutions, right?

They very specifically and intentionally water down most Pokemon designs if they think they're too cool or interesting.

Which ones? The only one I can think of is mega Gyarados turning into a fat fucking fish for some reason.

>>716136365 (OP)
It should've had the large angel wings on its back and the small green wings on its head

>>716138846
Mega Starmie

>>716139005
Venusaur having spots
Ampharos having wool
Tyranitar having Pupitar's face on its chest
Gengar looking more like Haunter

>>716137785
This somehow manages to be worse

>>716137074
Z-A getting double the development time and having less detailed buildings than the 3DS games sure is world-record of incompetence levels.

>>716137074
Most Pokemon fans only play Pokemon games

>>716136365 (OP)
Eunie looking weird

>>716139194
>Venusaur having spots
Sure
Rest are kinda a stretch imo, base Tyranitar already has pupitar on chest.

>>716137650

>Dragonair evolves to Dragonite
>"I'm a dragon now!"

Mega evolution is supposed to be evolving forward, not reverting from a frog to a froglet.

>>716137957
Those orbs are heavenly pearls, some chinese dragon myth cultivation thing.
Have you never seen eastern dragon statues clutching a pearl IRL?

Tbh, there was no real way to redeem this design without outright starting from scratch. Dragonite really ruined the whole line.

>>716138846

>>716136365 (OP)
What a sad situation
Its like they realized dragonite was a mistake since dragonair is much better looking and they tried to slap dragonair into dragonite and it resulted in this abomination but said "oh well its fine since people wanted a proper dragonair evo there you go retards"

They should had given Dragonair a real evolution instead

Is the stone called dragoniteite

>>716139887

All they did was put wings on a tent. Did a five-year-old design this are they even trying anymore?

>>716139559
Eunie if she was a straight Muppet.

you guys will buy it anyway
new sales record incoming

>>716139887
Pete's Dragon should have been a separate Pokémon or maybe Magikarp's evolution. Dratini feels pretty pointless, and Dragonair could have just evolved into Gyarados with the original Dragonair design, but with the wings probably should have evolved into an Amphithere with angel-esque wings, or a Quazacotl design. I guess ideally Dragonair would have gotten a split evolution in gen 2 to cover one of the other options (I guess Lindwurm if they went with Amphithere, to keep it consistent).

I guess if they went with an Amphithere/Lindwurm split evolution, the Megas would grow extra limbs, and we'd get a kind of angel serpent Gardevoir looking Mega, and either a 4 armed Gyarados looking Lindwurm or a Salamander.

>>716141670
Gyarados doesn't look noble enough to be a Dragonair evo

>>716141812
Yeah, for the current Dragonair, something like this would be more appropriate.

Dragonite is based and I like the Mega.

>WAH WAH WHY DOESN'T HE LOOK COOL??

Dragonite doesn't need to look cool, he's cute and friendly. There are plenty of other cool dragon-types, don't try to make him something he's not.

>>716139936
That froslass looks cool
But that dragonite looks cooler than the one in the OP so my hopes are low

>>716136365 (OP)

I'm so fucking tired of eelektross being treated like a flying cum sock in the 3D games. They butchered him so hard and they're trying to retcon him just being a big gross eel. IDGAF if its some kites or some shit, put him back on the ground

>>716147451
It's going back to being a skyfish like Tynamo. While also being a jet plane windsock or whatever, I guess.

>>716139887
Yeah, always hated Dragonite. Imagine going from a majestic dragon serpent to Barneyzard.

>>716139887
It has always looked really fucking stupid.

>>716146345
Gen 4 was very good as well, but I wonder if I feel this way because I was still a young child when that released or because it's the general consensus. There's a lot of sick designs there man.... Aside from the usual lauded designs, you also have some of my personal favorites like all the starters, Vespiquen, Rampardos, Electivire and Magmortar, Drapion and I love Magnezone as well

Nah, I was like 16 when it came out and gen 4 is my overall favourite, putting aside gen 1 nostalgia. But really, the only bad gen among the first 4 gens was gen 3. Gen 3 was fucking awful but at least it gave us Kirlia and Gardevoir and a few cool 'mons.

>>716156116
You have shitty eyes, sorry.

>>716136365 (OP)
Next, they'll claim palworld stole the wings and used them for Quivern.

Does anyone have more new mega evolutions images or did they just send poor dragonite to hell?

Why is it so hard for them to take an actual fully evolved shitmon in desperate need of buffs and design a good mega for it? Pseudos are the last fucking things that deserve a mega.

Boy I sure am glad we can't have a Direct till September because Pokeslop had to have 20 minutes of literally nothing to announce. I'm ecstatic theyre going to send Prime 4 out to die with little to no promotion.

Descriptive details about the new mega designs leaked months ago, we just didn't get to see any of them until now.

>>716161868
It should have more wings like a cherubim but with Dragonite's face in the middle

>>716161930
also notice those small wings/feathers on shoulders and legs

>>716137650

>>716137725
Low test.

As conclusive proof I cite e621, +Dragonite, +female, +maid_uniform, +thicc.

>>716139887
Dragonite soritr looks cool in Gen 1, it was later that they made him a faggot ass barney dragon.

>>716136365 (OP)
I think the biggest problem with it is that it doesn't go far enough with the feathers. Give it more of those feather tufts from its arms and legs and layer them a little. Replace its normal wings with feathered wings in addition to the feathered wings it has on its head. Give it a second pearl on its tail and a few on it's neck/chest like they're copying from dragonair. Give it a much longer horn and spiral it. It's a fine enough direction with the clumsy elegance motif but it doesn't take it far enough so it comes off flat and empty.

But lets be real here. Most of the people truly mad about this design are probably the same faggots who believe the rumor that dragonite and gyarodos's evolution paths were switched and were expecting this to be something edgy and "badass".

>>716161930
The designs of the megas leaked long ago. Twittard is being a lying attentionwhore as per usual.

>>716137258
>Never understood the fans for that ugly shitmon.
1. It's a dragon
2. The fat dorky look makes it look like some fairytale dragon, which is either cool or gay depending on your perspective.
3. Dragonite was the first rare pseudo legendary Pokemon, used by Lance of the Elite Four (important to both gen 1 and gen 2 players). The only Dragon type in Gen 1. That made it unique and cool.

Nowadays I doubt many would pick Dragonite as their favorite, but it made sense why people liked it.

Have you heard of the High Entia?

dragonite is really hard to do a mega of because it's so iconic and REALLY easy to overdesign

Dragonite's design is not THAT bad

>>716164391
Dragonite's design is that bad in the context of Pokemon.

>>716139936
>Megas for 2 stage mons
JUST GIVE THEM A THIRD STAGE FOR FUCKS SAKE

>>716162079
they're pretty obviously basing the design off of hermes/mercury, so that would be a no go

>>716161751
That's... Pokemon you retard
Comp play is a weird side thing that the main game never touches, playing the story won't prepare your average timmy AT ALL to touch ranked. Fuck the format Game Freak uses is Double Battles for VGC, and you, at best will have TWO or so forced double battles per game

>>716162079

Oof i don't have any hopes for the next Pseudo if this is how they are going to keep doing things.

>>716139936
i actually kinda like the yuki-onna design...

>>716165047
No they haven't you can Starter Earthquake your way till every game without thinking
Specially the new ones because you can use all the side EXP that's there so you can quickly try new mons on the fly to turbo grind your starter to be 20 levels over the champ
Or do you belive that someone like Geeta, with a team that's literally designed wrong so it doesn't exploit the mechanics of her hazard setter and her literal "only use when your entire team is dead" mon is a comp viable team?

>>716139936
I'm assuming the idea here is that someone has hastily shooped these together based on what they actually saw

If so, I can't wait to see the Starmie, it looks fucking hilarious. DARK GRANDPA should be funny too.

>>716165263
I did not say they designed the game around beating NPCs. I said they're designed around competitive. The reason NPCs will always, forever be pushovers is because gamefreak has completely given up on the single player rpg. They do not care about it at all

>let's make the wrong thing into bigger wings and leave the actual ones the same size!

>>716166113
no he's right, if i have to pick between a mega and a third stage, it's mega every time. i can at least justifiably ignore the existence of shitty megas, but you have to knowingly gimp yourself not to run 3rd evos, so it feels bad either way

I like the detail of how instead of getting more violent/aggressive like most Megas, Dragonite becomes even nicer and just wants to end the battle quickly out of kindness

Dragonite's design has always been a massive downgrade from Dragonair. There is a reason I never put him on my team outside the gen 1 games. Wings on the head could be ok, they are way too big. I don't doubt that the hand drawn piece of concept art looked good. The model is absolutely hideous. Hot take still better than shrimp mega Gyrados

Basically, most leakers leaking things are doing it by asking one single guy which got the ZA build in the teraleak running. So yeah, those sprites are quick mockups based on that, as evidenced by MegaDragonite looking like the abortion in the OP instead of the abortion in the image.

>>716168046
They obviously made Malamar weak as shit on purpose because they thought Contrary, non-STAB Superpower and 92 Attack would be enough to carry it

>>716166341
Think its trying to make sense of Elder Dragons from MH, hence why Kirin is there. I only included it to refer to the sorts of Dragonair evolutions I would have liked to have seen.

If it was my chart, I'd have the Lernaean hydra separate on the ring I think, but also note that like snakes a dragon can have more than one head and appear like the hydra (Gleeoks in Zelda for instance). I guess you'd also need a note saying dragons can have arms or armlike limbs with opposable thumbs (e.g. DB's Porunga, and Pete's Dragon). No idea what the cockatrice is about, unless it's supposed to be the bird to the wyvern's dinosaur.

>>716137336
This would’ve actually went crazy. I admit it’s growing on me

>>716136365 (OP)
Only thing I can think of is they had Wings on the back but with it would look too much like Quivern so they moved them. I mean how hard is it to make Dragonite like a Noodle Dragon inspired from Dragonair/Dratini. That would of been my idea but I'm not big brained I guess. Just don't like it, looks, Bad.

Looks like the point is it's white now and he puts the hood up.
Given how the one using it will be the black friend that's into fashion and has a white coat, I imagine it'll be a kind of "new outfit" like deal where it's all white and decked out with the hood.
Also wonder if it'll be at all reminiscent of the Assassin's Creed hood.

Everyone has been asking for Mega Milotic, Mega Flygon and Mega Typhlosion amongst many others but GF keeps pumping Megas for Pokemons that don't need it or Pokemon nobody asked for a Mega of. For every welcome surprise like Mega Mawile we get three Mega Audinos. Even worse are redundant Megas like Mega Blaziken and Mega Scizor or inferior Megas like Garchomp.

They should have leaned in harder. A staff with a couple Dratinis would have been pretty good.

I do like the head wings.
They didn't do enough to the body though. Remove the back wings and do... something, maybe cloud "hair"

Move the wings from his head to his back and make him Water/Fairy. We've never had a Mega change both types and it'd be a nice reference to the original Magikarp/Dragonair shakeup.

this image was someone playing around with dragon classification because it had been argued about for decades already, and was just having fun with it... there is no need to claim certain definitions of dragons are right or wrong, just like how there's no need to get mad at a classification system for dragons someone made because he thought it would be fun.

Is it possible that Pokemon is experiencing extreme "suffering from success" syndrome whereas the constant influx of fanart and fanmade 'mons limits the direction GF can go with their Pokemon designs?
Like, nobody wants to be accused of plagiarism even if they can get away with it or sweep it under the rug. At least, for a Japanese artist, losing face like that in front of your autistic colleagues and followers can have social repercussions that'll follow you for the rest of your career much.
Almost every cool idea that immediately comes to mind has been explored to the point where fan designs have overtaken GF's own artists so there's no longer a lightning-in-the-bottle Hail Mary they can pull over our eyes like wool in case other aspects of their latest game release and region are shit.

Because gacha game/ v-tuber character design has infected Japan like a plague. Even single player stuff ain't safe

Why not just give dragonite some blue& white feathers on its arms and legs, change its back wings to be bigger feathered wings, and add the orb to its forehead instead of the horn on top? Maybe make it look like it has a bit more upper body too if you really want to. That would be entirely reasonable, tie in features of its prevos, and not look unrestrained.

Going through all those Game Freak leaks last year made it seem like they actually still have it and can design pokemon just like 1st and 2nd gen based on the leaked scrapped pokemon concept artwork and what changed was going 3D as it took them longer to make and model. Time being the real issue as the leaks showed they only get like a few short years to make these Pokemon games. They have a strict time frame to make these games basically.

One thing I started to noticed when looking at those leaks was the type of pokemon that got scrapped from the concept art. Those would be really well designed with a lot of details. GF would choose the simpler designs because it would easier to model. So that's why we get all these round, simple, and bland designs.

tl;dr
Going 3D killed this series.

>>716175718
>the constant influx of fanart and fanmade 'mons limits the direction GF can go with their Pokemon designs?
Fan art is CONFIRMED to affect how they pick finalized designs. We know this from the huge Gamefreak leak that happened. They don't ever release a new mon or form if it looks like fan art. There was a flying evolution for eevee that got cut because the designed looked like something a fan drew.

So fully expect all the new mega forms to be weird and goofing looking. There is already hundreds of "cool" fan art designs for every remotely popular pokemon.

Every other romhack with Megas has a Mega Flygon and people have been asking for Mega Flyton before ORAS.

Give him an ability called Draconic Optics that's similar to Tinted Lens in that they double the damage of not very effective moves but also ignore type immunities. He could fire off Outrages that damage everything neutrally and do double damage to Fairies and other Dragons.

>>716180146
NTA but I think it's cool too, it traded the defense to turn into a bullet streamlining its body. like mega diance did. more interesting than just buff the same stats as the base form

>>716136365 (OP)
This is like the absolute monkey's paw design they could have made.

ZAMN

>>716180073
They had no rules at the time. As far as GF was concerned GSC would be the last Pokemon games. Then Mr Pokemon Company stepped in and started making rules.

>>716180073
Hypno beat the allegations, he's an innocent man. Hypno IS my friend

>>716179841
Thats just fan art interpretation of the real leaks, which were descriptions of the megas(which are 100% real)

No one ever actually liked Dragonite and yet they made him a mega solely because they're running out of kanto mons that they haven't shilled yet

>>716141646
of course I'll buy it, it's not a mainline game

>>716180569
Well shit.
There's still hope, I guess. Although Dragonite looks better here, so fuck me.

>>716136365 (OP)
I hope that's just Dragonite Y and there's a Dragonite X too.

>>716180569
Some will probably look marginally better but there's no saving the Starmie or Pyroar or Barbaracle designs. Leonardo da Vinci himself couldn't make that work.

Sorry buddy only charizard (and mewtwo) get 2
Charizard will also be getting charizard Z since we know how much everyone loves charizard

>>716180739
>no pyroar mega where they turn it into a manticore
>no starmie mega that plays off its jewles turning into a crown(of thorns starfish)
Took me two seconds to think of those.
No idea what you could do with barbarical that wouldnt be dog shit.

>>716166149
Jesus fucking christ take me back.

>>716181041
Barbaracle is a barbarian, part of why it's ugly. I'd give it a rock club and what would resemble torn clothing.

>>716181047
Sorry anon good japanese art isn't allowed anymore for some reason AND it has to be digital only.

Imagine the restraint it took Game Freak to resist making Mega Charizard Z.

>>716180739
>>716181041
>>716181186
barbaracle's is alright, it fits the "it just gets bigger" thing most megas have going on. in it's case the barnacle cluster grows more heads
people just bash on barbaracle because it's ugly. it could end up like this which is pretty rad

>>716181041
I meant there's no way to make them work with the leaked descriptions we were given.

>>716181310
Mega Barbaracle should have a unique ability that retroactively deletes Barbaracle from the franchise and everyone's memory of it. And Drampa.

oh shit that was from that one really shitty PS2 game?

>>716136365 (OP)
>Palworld rip-off
Is this revenge?

>>716181696
it was not shitty fuck you

>>716181759
what was it called? dual hearts or something? I just remember a claw

>Dragonite with headwings and a pearl on its tail
They finally had the opportunity to fix its design as well.

>>716174256
That's just Clodsire's body, Slowpoke's face and Sobble's fins.

>>716182694
Its almost like all thos things are just simple shapes. Hmmmm

>>716174256
Regional Gulpin varient?

Shocked they didn't give him a beard and mustache

>>716181047
They looked way better in HGSS.

>>716182694
Retard there are 1000 pokemon. Try and draw something you cant compare to other pokemon. Brainlet.

>>716176471
Certainly seems that way.

>>716182930
Fan artists do it all the time, but Chinket Pair can't do anything original, all of their fakemon include specific design elements taken straight from actual pokemon.

>>716136365 (OP)
Anyone improved it yet without drastically altering the design they went for? I figure all it really needs to look decent is the big angel wings on the back and those tiny litte green nub wings removed or maybe placed on the head as if its ears. Or maybe give it even longer antennae like it used to have? This design is so retarded looking kek.

>>716139936
Nah this is troll af

>>716182930
That's not the point. He's saying it mogs Pokemon but that's literally a shitty amalgamation of more popular designs.

>>716180073
His design is fine as long a porn hasn’t ruined your brain

>>716182903
I don't mind how they look in HGSS too much, but I prefer the GSC designs for being more simple and "real" as the aesthetic was back then. Way better than the gacha/vtuber rainbow vomit of now.

>>716138162
This sprite?

Or did you perhaps mean the one with angry eyes that was made for the American version?

>>716183779
There's a quest in FRLG to find a little girl who got lost in the woods because she's terrified of a hypno that's chasing her

Pokémon Z being cancelled marked the end of the franchise, it showed they no longer cared for quality, for finishing what they started, and would instead be pushing out rushed garbage every other year. A million loose threads that were planned for Z were left hanging and instead got halfassed follow-ups in other games, like Zygarde in Sun/Moon.

>>716136365 (OP)
It looks fine your just a stupid contrarian hater

>>716162307
>>716153624
It always looked like that though, gen1 sprites are just weird

No there isn't you fucking brainrotted gooner
Stop making rape shit up people like you are why a bunch of games just got banned off of Steam because you sick fucks won't stop with your rapeshit fantasies

would have preferred they kept off the weird shoulder things but whatever

>>716176471
First instance of any humanoid character being depicted in such a way is Hermes/Mercury in Greek/Roman mythology respectively, at least as far as I can tell. Otherworldly messengers of the Gods.

> -"Fine whatever, just lengthen the tail, stick a ball to it, and add feather tufts to the body. Now hurry up, or the vending machine will be all out of pantsu by the time we get there."
On the whole, this design is so damned lame and lazy.
That the people who created and greenlit it aren't out of a job is a grand injustice.

>>716160264
Only a handful of shitmons got megas, it was mostly more popular, more well off mons that got them. While I'd love for them to make a few shitmons more competitively viable, you're probably at best having one or two actually get megas.

That's Meganium's Mega? Its looks horrible.

>>716139936
What if Bayleaf..had more leafs?

>>716179708
>mega feraligatr is just druddigon
>klansmen scrafty
>starmie and pyroar ???

>>716187808
Also Drampa being the only Gen 7 to get a mega is weird considering there are Gen 7 pokemon that would be perfect for a mega like Vikavolt

>>716187808
Starmie is gonna be Lida's ace, that's why it's there apparently.
And Lida is a dancer, so that's why Mega Starmie's got fucking Patrick Star Goofy Goober legs.

As for Pyroar, who knows. It was tied to Lysandre/Team Flare pretty hard, so maybe he'll have one instead of just his Mega Gyarados? Or maybe some other former Team Flare person will have it. It was just a very boring design that could use the Mega.

palworld ripoff? that's just dragonite but with wings on its head

Palworld won, holy shit.

Dragonite is a creepy ass fucker, probably involved with the sex trafficking on epsteins island.
>>716148226
Skarmory is inspired by mythical birds like stymphalian birds, gagana and alicanto. The alicanto specifically eats gold and silver

>>716136365 (OP)
Simply switching the small and big wing placement would greatly improve this.

>>716185585
I don't know why you tolerate third versions at all. "Here, buy this full price beta. Don't worry, we'll release the true final version later. It'll also be full price."

Nearly all the transformations are a call back to something, usually in a joking way that the community themselves would appreciate the most
Gigantamax Pikachu il ack to being fat and round, Mega Gyradoa referencing a one-off gag in the anime from 2002, and so on

>ddddDUUURRP~ XD

>>716136365 (OP)
oh my God I thought that was some bad fan design that was made to bait reactions. it fucking real. shit looks so awful, do the designer not know about speculative evolution. No way in hell would a thing like this fly with wings on its head.

>>716139936
Fuck off, there's no way.
That Starmie is an edit.

>>716136365 (OP)
Why are you seething about a game made for literal babies?

>>716140226
>Four huge feathered wings.
>An elongated body.
>A majestic mane composed of those whiskers on its head.
>A more prominent spiral horn on its head.
> Maybe have one hand gripping a crystal sphere
This would be a good start I think.
I'm imagining something inspired from dragons from chinese mythology.

He's complete cancer in gameplay and any Mega that they would come up with would be less cancerous than Jirachi and so Jirachifags would complain. This little shit doesn't deserve anything.

I'll do you one better, there was nothing inherently wrong with dexit, two thirds of all pokemon blow chunks and if they were never featured in a game ever again I wouldn't give a shit, in fact, it would be a net positive since it would improve the overall quality

>>716136365 (OP)
Honestly it's better than most fanmade Mega Dragonite depictions I've seen, I do appreciate the Dragonair motifs
Still not enough to make me buy a switch 2 though

>>716136365 (OP)
They should have went with quad wings and gave it an extra pair. More biblical angel.
