OH LAWD HE COMING

What’s with all of these stupid ass Mega Evolutions?

>>723257630
I don't believe you, this is surely a shitpost.

What's the best Gen 3 open world special physical split romhack?

>>723257780
They've always been stupid when you realize they were all making an X or Y shape.

Reminder that the people defending this are the same people who claim Gen I designs are lazy.

Why is Starmie physical now?

>>723257873
The actual stat change to its attack will be more like 75 -> 100 when Champions comes out, Mega Medicham and Mega Mawile both got +40 to their attack stats to make up for the absence of Pure Power/Huge Power. This does suggest that Starmie will be receiving Pure Power/Huge Power as well.

>>723257873
Better rapid spin I guess

>>723257779
Same energy

>>723258015
Is that slow? I only really play the emerald factory nowadays and in there it's one of the faster mons but I know there's a lot of powercreep in modern pokemon.

>>723258208
kek

>>723257780
It's a franchise for children
Also porn addicts but there are separate designs in the game for that

>>723257867
mega pinsir is cool

The worst part is the whole game appears to be one single city, with separate loading cells for “wild” Pokemon
Story has been shit since gen iv, but oof this looks cringecore if anything does

>>723257780
It continues the tradition of some being awesome and some being goofy.

would you?

It's literally Starmie but with longer legs. Literally every other Mega or Regional has SOMETHING different

>>723257505 (OP)
DONT CARE
STILL STARTING WITH TEPIG
STILL USING MEGA STARMIE

>>723257867
>>723258031
Mega Starmie seems like another alternative to that buff dolphin mon Gen 9 added.

>>723258845

>>723257780
Humilliation ritual, we'll still buy it.

>>723258451
Actually made me laugh

>>723257780
Few emga evolutions are good.

>>723258845
It’s so insanely obvious these are AI-generated

No human brain would just make Starmie slightly bigger. None.

>>723257942
I wouldn't hate it if they were smaller

>>723259230
You are obsessed with AItrash to instantly assume this is AI and not the usual garbage gamefreak makes.

You're not allowed to have fun, all new designs should be serious and edgy.

BRAVO GAMEFREAK YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN
>>723257701
no because i'm not a brain dead cultist that has to consoom every slop, time to wake up

>>723259054
Yeah apparently in the story, they’re all unnatural mega evos that shouldn’t exist. Yes 99% of the original mega evos were unnatural as well but they were made to fight in wars while these were made to rob black people on streets. No it doesn’t excuse the bad designs, Pokémon’s plot sucks anyway.

>>723257942
It was properly golden and not piss-colored, it'd already be a lot better.

i went all to shit after BW2
if you bought and liked XY you are an actual goycattle

>>723259230
>Actually thinking that this is beyond Gamefreak.

>>723259526
Who said there should be new designs? Perhaps they should do something right with what they already have for once before burying themselves under a bigger pile of trash. Slop lovers have no excuse for enabling this.

>>723257505 (OP)
This one is so lazy, that I kinda respect it.

Being a Pokemon fan really is just one long neverending humilation ritual

>>723259434
HITODEHITORA!!

Is it true that the reason they all look stupid is that Gamefreak can't or won't create anything that looks like a fan design? Because that would explain a lot.

>>723260115

In retrospect, maybe it was a good direction for Typhlosion to get a regional form rather than a megaevolusion (even if Hisuian Typhlosion looks like shit)

Mega evolution was always inferior to warp digivolution

Redpill me on why they just made Starmie but with bigger legs. There's a reason for it right? Like a cheeky reference or something? It's not just because Game freak are lazy and talentless hacks, right?

>>723257650
its goofy in the bad way though.

>>723257505 (OP)
Out of all the shitty things in this game.
This to me is FUN

>>723262439
The same reason Pokemon doesn't put in effort for anything. Laziness, and the knowledge their fanbase will buy it regardless.

>>723262439
>Like a cheeky reference or something?
Ultraman. Starmie is an alien starfish, and the mega is just it obtaining more human qualities. Only problem with it is the animations don't go far enough, they could have been more uncanny with it.

Just reaffirms that megas were always dogshit

>>723258845
Excadrill is the worst here. What retard would choose that as mega design lol

>>723263247
Gardevoir made it through OK.

>>723257873
It has to be a mistake arent megas +100bst? That's +140.

>>723257613
Starmie is girl coded

>>723263606
The +40 were for Megas like Mawile and Medicham that lost out on Huge and Pure Power because the game lacks abilities. This means Mega Starmie likely has one of those abilities too.

>>723257779
Perfect Halloween scare

>>723263715
Oh, so these aren't the final stats for the eventual G10 games then.

Well ok then

I like the Barnacle.

>>723263247
they've always been the worst gimmick (tied with dynamax).
i was expecting terastallize to be just as bad but it's actually good. looks like shit tho.

>>723264308
I liked Dynamax for the most part, you could use some oddball Pokemon like Durant in Swsh because of it

>>723258664
Making it like 8 feet tall seems too normal.

>>723262439
Only thing I can think of his how Warning from Space has starfish-looking aliens that had human actors on the inside, but the obvious tell of having feet wasn't implemented, so it doesn't seem to be that.

>>723261271
pokemon really has a fanart problem. the fact that they can't end up looking like the fanarts really fucks up the final product because even they come up with a good concept they can't execute the same

>>723257780
There seems to be no real design principle put in place. Instead of creating or elevating fantastical ideas, most Pokemon these days are just cartoon scrimblos from a grab bag of animals and concepts. The easier to model and make plushes of, the better. Being an easy to swallow meme for your audience is a bonus

>>723257779
This is based and I don't care what you retards have to say about it.

>>723263131
>>723264917
It should've been Starmie gaining an eye and more eerie aspects, not something that took less than five minutes to model

>>723267515
That might be a legal issue.

>>723257701
Last Pokémon game I got was gen 4. So no.

>>723257505 (OP)
I hate Pokemon so fucking much

>>723264956
Its a retarded non-problem, just use the design what's the fan gonna do?

I remember wanting to see a Mega for one of my favorite Pokes, but now I'm glad

>>723258451
FASTER

>>723267863
>what if...bigger fro!
now i want it even more.

Mega evolution designs have always been weird.
These aren't crazier than the old ones. A few even look nice.

ZA still looks like a terrible game tho, don't know why they couldn't have done it like Arceus.

>>723267863
Longer legs so it can walk vast distances quickly and loom over prey?

>>723268031
Based on the in-development assets leaked, it seems like the game was originally going to be closer to LA.

>>723268031
There were plenty of good megas along the sillier ones, i haven't seen a good one yet here.

>>723258845
Mega Barbaracle is kino

>>723268156
I don’t see how this one is X or Y shaped without being reductionist.

The issue with mega starmie is that 99.99% of the western audience have no idea that the design isn't meant to be
>LOL IT'S FUNNY COS IT'S WALKING
because it's basically a japan-only reference that falls flat elsewhere
if you have to explain a design
it's a bad design

>>723268156
The best mega by far

>>723264997
>>723257942
What's the concept? This looks more like a regional than a mega.

>>723257779
Starmie is my favorite Pokémon and I absolutely despised this thing since the leak but I'm not going go lie whether due to conditioning and propaganda or due to just seeing it in motion, this is legit KINO and I'm not afraid to say it
I still wish it was different because this retarded horror monstrosity is the last update to starmie ever most likely but holy fucking shit is this kino and it really DOES align with his it's anime personality from the OG where he doesn't say his name just loud deep karate chop hyaaaaas and shit. I absolutely inviison this running around like the retarded majora it is screaming in that deep voice from the anime (just the eng dub idk?)

Key-know

I still can't believe how bad dragonite is. It didn't grow on me at all. This did.

>>723262005
Fanart fixes that

>>723268486
then what's the reference anon?

>>723268437
Ok fine maybe you get a Y if you take the horns and neck.

>>723259526
Absolutely retarded argument when the main reason people have been complaining about goofy Pokemon designs is because the last several gens have been flooded with them and they massively outnumber any serious designs. Every other design these days is compromised for a dumb joke, it's just fucking tiring at this point.

>>723268565
so basically you just forced yourself to like it because it was a path of lesser resistance

>>723264917
These things look a lot like Decarabia from SMT.

>>723267515
The eye thing would remove too much from og design.

>>723268643
No I liked it because it makes me giggle like a retard with it chasing you around making these https://youtu.be/7AnkGLQVXCY

>>723257505 (OP)
there's a difference between goofy and dumb and this is dumb, so many ideas for a starfish pokemon and they just add 2 long legs

>>723259105
I sure as hell won't. Pokemon Sun was the last one I ever bought.

>>723268745
It's even better because the staryu sounds are ultraman, which is what the mega is based on
zoomers won't get it

>>723259526
having joke designs is fine
70% of the dex nowadays being joke designs is not
i get that it's a children's franchise but you don't need to drown the fucking thing in irony and non-sincerity because if everything doesn't have retarded facial hair or gigantic heads or a level of detail that makes voltorb look like eternatus in comparison then it doesn't see the light of day

>>723268624
kamen rider and ultraman, two series basically unheard of outside of japan
one person in a thousand would get it and then he has to explain it to everyone else who otherwise immediately sees it as
>oh starmie is suddenly a humanoid running on two legs for comedy value and nothing else

>>723268659
Decarabia is probably the most blatant swipe of them.

>>723265280
at least makes sense with the character instead of long legs or being yellow

>>723258451

>>723268817
I'm sorry but it's POKEMON, I MUST BUY IT, CONSOOOOOOOM EEEEEET

Do kids even eat this how do you do fellow kids meme dogshit up still? What happened to the whole "silence brand" retaliation?

>>723268501
I think it might literally just be a reference to the silver and gold roosters on the Golden Kinkakuji and Silver Ginkakuji, which were also the inspiration for Lugia and Ho-oh.
The golden Rooster has a bit more pointy and longer feathers, and a more sold base for its feet.

pokemon is a dead franchise. good riddance fuck nintendo

>>723262439
It sort of looks like starmen from earthbound. I don't know if they were referencing something else that I'm unaware of.

>>723269504
When Devon Pritchard gets up there, you really could physically have sex with Nintendo

>>723269490
So why is it a mega and no a regional Skarmory?
I thought GF learned after the first batch of megas that some designs are better for a regional.
Mega Heracross for example, in retrospect should have been saved for a regional.

Mega = an "enhancement" in some way, regionals look more like different adaptations.

>>723271738

The thing is an alien and wants to imitate humans for unkown reasons

you deserve this if you like slopémon after gen 1

>>723257779
>>723260351
the way it moves kinda reminds me of the superstars from Tales of Vesperia

Did you know this ugly dogshit design is actually good because it's actually a reference to something else? Like every single pokemon design ever? Yeah, this one is also a reference.

Majora?

>>723268031
>Mega evolution designs have always been weird
>These aren't crazier than the old ones
Revisionism. The vast majority of the original run of Megas look exactly how you'd expect something called a Mega would; stronger looking versions of the basic design.

>>723271850
I just flipped through its official entries from 1-9, unless the entry in ZA mentions that; none of its past entries have ever mentioned it wanting to imitate humans. And at most they mention that it MAY be an alien lifeform. The closest is one of Staryu's entries mentioning that its crystal beats similarly to a human heart.

>>723271738
Given reason: It's mimicking humans.
Real reason: Meme marketing.
Supplementary reason: Yu and Mie are based off of starfish aliens from a boomer jap movie that were people waddling around in a costume.

>>72325845
GO STARMIE GO GO!

>>723257867
No X or Y here, bitch.
You're just jealous of the best mega evolution.

>>723272487
>Supplementary reason: Yu and Mie are based off of starfish aliens from a boomer jap movie that were people waddling around in a costume.
This one makes no sense because stretching the legs out ironically makes it look less accurate to that movie.

>>723268817
see the problem is people keep saying later games were the straw for them. im starting to believe younger people don't give a fuck. hearing sun being the final straw, is crazy. that basically just came out. the last good game was emerald, and even that one has trve fans shitting on it for not being red/blue

>okay, so, should we play into it?
>hmmm...
>what is it, treespirit?
>memes!
>ehhh
>you know, leg day, patrick, the socials are gonna be LIT! and having it move around like an awkward costume like that...ermmm, space-thing? EPIC! just like my chinese mascot fight tiktoks!
>ehhhhhh international market sugoi...
If this were Gen 6 it likely would have went down the jewel turning into an eye route.

>>723262324
What is that?

>>723257780
gen 1s new megas are all the goofy corny ones. Its for the gen 1 fans who are largely millenials who find this type of stuff quirky and funny. The cooler new mega evos are for the gen 5 mons desu.

Despite not having a face or any sort of facial expressions, it's extremely expressive and body language goes a long wat as far as being endearing goes.

It does make it look more like a guy in a suit, but I don't know why you would think that's a good direction to take it

Oh, and the whole movie is about one of them disguising itself as a human.

>>723259230
I fucking WISH it was AI, because I honestly doubt it would be as retarded as this.

>>723258845
Starmie is ironically the only one that doesn't look AI generated due to being so lazy.

>>723258845
As a Feraligatr fan, his mega is dumb as shit

>>723272487
Supplementary reason 2: Staryu line is based off of Ultraman, so the mega makes it look more like him

>>723281764
Supposedly Nintendo said they'd foot the bill if Gamefreak would just ask someone else how to actually make a videogame and Gamefreak said no

Nintendo might be nervous that even though Pokemon sells well, the fact that it looks like ass and runs like ass might make the Switch 2 look worse

This is objectively hilarious.
If that was the intention, 10/10 man.
Otherwise, oof.

Remember when Pokemon evolutions were supposed to be cooler than the previous form? Before reddit ironic humor became the standard among normalfaggots?

>>723283584
I would've preferred a giant Bellsprout with a Victreebel for a head.

>>723258845
Mega barbaracle is the only good one because it took an objectively shitty design like barbaracle and made it look halfway decent.

>>723284006

>>723283584
I can at least kind of understand liking Mega Starmie but if you like Mega Victreebel then I can't imagine you being anything but the kind of freak who's into diaperfur or tuba croc vore or something. It goes completely beyond looking goofy to looking like grotesque fetish art.

>>723284316

Did they make Meganium better? I remember her being extremely unfun to use in HGSS.

Fucking loved when the magnet became three magnets

Look at you, lashing out with a random image for no reason.

>>723284554
They're upset because reception to ZA is showing it's gonna sell like crazy

Dead Internet theory is real

Thread is just shilling jeets and reddit troons sucking off awful designs because they are too irony poisoned to do anything else. Total poke shit death, palworld is better.

Those are shinies not the normal mega coloration

>>723284834
I meant better when it comes to its learnset and whatnot.

>>723284613
Nobody with a brain thinks it won't sell. That's just reality, Pokefags refuse to not buy these games, mainline always tends to sell big.

>>723284928
No I figured that was the case, but the colors don't even match the regular shiny at all. Not that the regular shiny is good, but damn. Pyroar being covered in piss and cum was not on my bingo list.

Honestly the S/V legendary motorcycles are stupider than anything in ZA

>>723285671
the future one kinda works, but the other one isn't even using it's wheels lmao

why do they keep giving megas to pokemon lines without second and third stages instead of just giving them actual evolutions

>>723285725
they should have just gave up the past one looking like a wheel and instead given it an oversized throat pouch
so you get an evolutionary line (in the traditional non-pokemon self)

past, unadapted feature used for a different purpose
present feature adapted into a different form, pokemon partially uses it as a wheel and partially walks on legs
future feature becomes main mode of locomotion, no longer runs on it's legs

>>723258451
They turned what would have been a meme into an official design.

I haven't played pokeman since Silver but I thought they removed the Megas stuff because it was dumb and or retarded?

>>723286336
ZA goes back to the same region that introduced Megas.

>>723286336

Are they brainwashed or something

>buh buh buh this is actually a heckin wholesome chungus reference to a 60s toku show that had dudes dressed as starfish
I literally don't care, it being a reference doesn't make it good. Also 99,9999% of pokemon's audience won't catch that reference, not even in Japan.

>>723257505 (OP)
It's stupid, but they committed to the stupid idea. The animations and lore convey its uncanny nature as well, working off Starmie's weird relationships with humans. Still certainly not a great design, but I could absolutely hate it more than I do.

Feraligatr is the worst one. Way too niche a concept for a starter form, looks horrible when its mask is not formed, and even the actual concept is just bizarre.

>>723258845

How is electrode bad? Its supposed to mimic a pokeball and is basically the pokemon version of the mimic chest in dark souls.

Bad would be if they added spikes and wings which is what modern game freak would do now if they wanted to give it a mega. They wouldn't even try to make it look like a masterball

>>723257650
There is no "good" way to be goofy. Pokemon should be dark and edgy because the world is dystopian and only held together by the shared hope and ideals of humans and Pokemon.

>>723257505 (OP)
>>723257779
I normally hate the Mega deisgns, but this one is fun. It feels more like how the Mega designs should be, like Mega Kangaskhan having the kid becoming a teen and leading the fight, or Sableye getting a giant gem. Sure beats just slapping hundred pointless spikes on them or growing a wig.

>>723257779

I don't mind this

I can't believe I've seem almost 0 talk of the new battle system from people online.
Prior to the first gameplay being shown, I saw SO many people BEGGING for a more 3D real time battle system. And now literally no one cares at all?
I'm not saying you can't bitch about the other stuff too, but what the fuck happened? It feels like adult pokefags just want to be upset 24/7 at this point.

>>723303693
The gameplay is garbage
There's literally zero fucking depth

They don't know what they want. These are the same people who want a Pokemon MMO, a concept it's redundant with pokemon's already multiplayer experience. They even got raids that one game.

Hilariously enough they almost always shut up and move onto the next thing once the game actually comes out. Threads of people that actually have their hands on the game and are playing it are usually comfy.

Also I don't know about you, but when I see Nintendo seethe outside of 4chan it's almost always hispanics.
