digimon

First one looks genuinely good

>>723698737 (OP)
Mega Meganium looks comfy.

>>723698737 (OP)
Giganium. I would've chosen Mega Feraligator if not for the fact that the massive head is just a big-ass fin on its back and spikes on its arms (which are clasped together).

>>723698737 (OP)
Meganium.

I like Mega Excadrill, he looks like he should do the finishing move from Gurren Lagann.

>>723698737 (OP)
I went to digimon and got a Lion jojo

>>723698737 (OP)
None, I boxed my Bayleef as soon as I got the 3 Kalos starters.
Call me basic, but I'm looking forward to unlocking my mega frog, who knows if I'll still be playing when the other two get released.

>>723699209
Based, I lucked on a shiny female so I named her Simone.

>>723699152
These don't seem so bad after watching them for a while.

i doubt kids look at theese new designs and think they're cool

>>723698737 (OP)
Totodile but in Crystal. NuPokemon is unbelievably bad and I refuse to play it

>>723698737 (OP)
I picked the green dinosaur one, because it looks cute

We got Mega Meganium, now give us Mega Yanmega.

>>723699260
Why does the white devil that evolved from otter evolve into a robo horse but a white devil that didn't evolve from otter can also evolve into a white lion furfag?

>>723698737 (OP)
I just can't get over that fucking Mega Feraligatr.

>>723699613
Every digimon tends to have multiple evolution paths, and every anime, game, manga, v-pet (tamagotchi), digivice, etc. has different evolution paths for the same digimon (sometimes it's pretty close to the 'standard', and sometimes they have the weirdest choices).

Why are they so fucking goofy lmao

Theyre the same??? Green ones looks like big animals and the others looks ridículous

Has the lore/history of the pokémon species gotten more interesting since Arceus?

>Mega Charizard Y
X is far better.

>>723700010
The Kalos starter megas follow the "it's just the regular form but cooler" design philosophy of the Kanto and Hoenn ones.

>>723700010
mega blastoise is real fucking bad too desu, familia

mega evolutions got ruined for me the minute an anon spelled it out for me that they all are supposed to invoke the feeling of the letter X or Y in its design.

Me 10 years ago didnt realize that

>>723700010
10 years passed so they forgot how to make megas

Digimon.

Since megas canonically cause pokemon to suffer, I feel great now knowing that I'll never torture gatr with this fucking mega.

>>723700941
>also one just becomes Pikachu again
Wow, thanks to you I realized that it's supposed to be mega raichu x and y, I legit thought the big eared one, which I guess is raichu y, was supposed to be mega pikachu.

>>723699332
They don't. I have multiple nephews and not a single one cares about Pokémon. One or 2 of my nephews collected the cards for a month or 2 and that's it. I gave my oldest Pokémon Violet to play and he stopped playing before even getting his starter because he said it was too gay. He was right too, you use to play as some cool kid with a cap, now you're some soft faced little femboy with long eyelashes.

>>723700106
Charizard X's design deserves to have better looking wings, they really bring the whole thing down for me.

>>723699152
Those are sick

>>723699152
Those are sick (derogatory)

>>723701093
Raichu should be thankful they gave him a mega (X) instead of only being used as a trojan horse for Game Freak to make Mega Pikachu (Y) without breaking the rules of megas.

D) None of the above, low standards-having faggots.

>>723703474
Emboar doesn't necessarily look bad, its just nonsensical and stupid for Emboar. The whole samurai thing was Samurott's shtick.
Meganium just looks lazy, and Feraligatr is just godfather quote.

>Emboar doesn't necessarily look bad
Pokefags have LITERALLY lost all standards

>>723703749

I deepthroated a Meganium so this one

>>723703801
FUCK I meant I'd get deepthroated by a Meganium

>>723698945
I can see Infernape getting an Emboar tier mega and Empoleon getting a Chesnaught tier mega, but I bet they'll fuck up Torterra pretty bad

>>723703846
Fuck that's so cool. I love Torterra.

>>723702152
Check it out. A majority of megas follow a design that looks like an X or Y. Most are more obvious there are a few that might've made it through with a less obvious one due to Gamefreak liking it.

>>723699152
Thank fucking God ground types exist and are recommended or these things would give flying types no chance to be competitive.

I hate it here.

>>723703846
I thought it was bullshit they kept skipping the Sinnoh starters for gimmicks forms etc, but at this point I'm not even sure if I want them to get anything lol.

Is emboar based off xingtang?

>>723704067
I was getting Zhang Fei vibes myself, the fire pike is a bit much.

>>723704014
It's like these were designed by one of those zoomers that hate Gen 2 but suck off Gen 5.

>>723704190
Is that a thing now? I remember there being a pretty big overlap between Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova fans since they were all on the DS (remakes in the case of Johto, obviously).

>>723698737 (OP)
Absolute garbage designs jesus fucking christ. What in the hell is wrong with pokefags? According to the last few Asmongold videos I saw about this game he seemed to claim that a huge portion of women are the ones playing this goyslop trash. That would explain a whole damn lot on the game and the current state of video games. Females are shitty consumers and they would be fine with any slop. They do not love games the way we men love games. For them its about socializing and status. Not for the love of the game.

Yes.

>>723703972
>>723705316
The description for Mega Raichu X makes specific mention of its increased defenses and ability to float, which may or may not be Levitate.

Megas have always sucked.
Why insist otherwise?

>>723700010
Trannies

can someone explain the concept of mega evolution? the last game I played was black and white. is it just what if it evolved after a million of year or something?

>>723700010

>>723698737 (OP)
I never really cared about Emboar, but this is one of those rare cases where the mega design is an improvement over the original.

>>723706587
Super mode, you equip an item and it gives your Pokemon access to a temporary battle transformations.
The progenitor of mega evolution is Fug but I forget the specifics

That's the kind of shit I expect from Gamefreak nowadays, kek.

>>723698737 (OP)
It's funny that they immediately give you charmander to replace your shitty starter just like the original Kalos game.

this is what pokemon look like now?

>>723700010
mega blaziken is the only good one

>>723698737 (OP)
>that feraligatr
Wtf were they thinking?

>>723706587
It's a reaction to a Mega Stone that infuses the Pokemon with more energy than it can physically handle, forcing it to temporarily transform into a more powerful form. The process is usually incredibly painful and leads to the Pokemon going on a violent rampage. However, a trainer with a sufficiently strong bond and a Key Stone can help the Pokemon channel that energy so it can be used and defused at will.

>>723698737 (OP)
MEGAnium is cool
least retarded of the bunch for sure

Thoughts?

>>723707571
3 days of infinite rape

>>723707343
TPCi held the devs at gunpoint to design megas that resemble the more marketable pre-evos like Pikachu, Dragonair, and Totodile. It's why Crocalor was recently revealed to be holding an everstone in the anime. It makes more money than Skeledirge.

I hope you like mega Piplup next year

>>723707032

>>723707571
Whh dis bitch so tall? Why dis bitch look like a plastic toy with two pieces screwed together? Why dis bitch got icy vapor that's solid enough to cut with a knife?

Otherwise it looks fine

>>723707571
>x, but cooler
>no gimmick theme that usurps the whole design
One of the few good ones. This could've been from XY.

Is there a more JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP pokemon in the series than Feraligatr? Compare how it looks these days to how it originally started. Whoever designed it must be crying at how much their boy got massacred over the years.

>>723707941
Even those sprites are worse than Feraligatr's beta sprite for gen 2.

>>723707941
stupid bitch couldn't even have his name spelled correctly, he was fucked from the start

>>723698737 (OP)
>tfw fags and tards can't appreciate Feraligatr's big Totodile Mega Evolution

>>723700829
They already let him in Legend Arceus.

>>723708372
It's shit when he's not attacking (when the visual motif is actually on display). In neutral poses, it looks like red foreskin from a botched circumcision.
>Water/Dragon
They couldn't be fucked to go a step further, and split the 'hood' into wings? No? Just a large red flap? Aight.

>>723707780
>It's why Crocalor was recently revealed to be holding an everstone in the anime
It's simply to justify it not evolving offscreen despite a year of training. Every one of the trio's Pokémon will evolve to their final forms, otherwise Fuecoco would not have evolved at all as it's vastly more popular than both its evos, and Crocalor is less popular than Skeledirge anyway. Same for Quaxly, its whole line is unpopular but Quaxwell and Quaquaval are basically poison yet they let it evolve.

>>723706504
Mega Gallade fixed the undercooked original. It's a straight upgrade.

>>723698737 (OP)
ZHANG MOTHERFUCKER FEI

>>723708372
If people wanted their Feraligatr to be a Totodile they wouldn't have evolved it in the first place, dumbshit.

>>723698737 (OP)
Mega Meganium is basic and Mega Feraligatr is a very weird one which calls back not even to its pre-evo but its base form. Mega Emboar completes the 'heavy chinese soldier' that regular Emboar just kinda half-assed IMO, same for Mega Chesnaught which looks like a proper paladin with a spear and cape as opposed to the half-measure regular Chesnaught is.

>>723709181

>>723698737 (OP)
>in addition to making shit new pokemon, they keep ruining old ones
By the way, you just know they made it Tepig instead of Cyndaquil because of the Typhlosion leaks.

>>723710029
It’s because Typhlosion was a starter in PLA which was also a mixed group.

>>723710029
Cyndaquil was already a starter in Arceus.

>>723710089
>>723710097
Okay, that makes sense, thanks anons

>>723698737 (OP)
What a garbage lineup

I’d even take back the Kalos starters over these and their Megas

>>723698737 (OP)
megameganiumium

>>723710356
Three of the first few sidequests in the game give you a Kalos starter each. Then Mable at the Pokémon Lab lets you pick one of the KANTOOOOOO starters because of course.

>>723710498
Apologize to Kantos and the house of the mouse now

>>723698737 (OP)
I went with croc
Can't imagine anyone picking gen 5 pig
And considering I never saw him online during early levels, no one did

>>723708479
For some reason alt right crowd beleived that game will take place in countryside instead of city and that starters wil lbe reused between legends games.

>>723699613
Pay attention to the lines linking the squares together retard, the horse devolved back into a white devil who evolved into a white lion furfag who devolved into a not white furfag who evolved into a jojo lion who evolved into a living glitch

>>723699152
Fucking right in the ass while left has his way with my own ass

>>723700010
They just added a flower and called it a day?
They just made it spikier and called it a day?
They just added hand cannons and called it a day?
They just added balls and called it a day?
They did nothing?
They just inflated it and called it a day?

>>723706634
so why do the kalos starters look identical to their original? fucking retard

>>723706634
>

I don't get the mentality behind Mega Feraligatr. Is Totodile really that much more popular than Feraligatr to the point the whole concept behind its mega needed to be "wow it can look like a giant totodile!"?

>>723698821
Every mega looks retarded

This asshole handed me my first defeat after my MEGAnium tripped over the Binacle adds and couldn't stop Mega Barbaracle's charge in time, it rushed towards my trainer and pummeled me to death with a Jojo fist barrage.

>>723700010
>Grass one is always the same but oversized
>Fire one is always cool
>Water one is always stupid
>>723700045
That's the point. They designed some megas to be ugly and stupid.

>>723703784
It does necessarily look bad though so the rest is irrelevant.

>>723711485
Your fault for using worst starter
Your fault for fucking using fire against water/rock type like it's 5th generation again

>>723711485
I’ve never lost to a Rogue boss but I lost to Vinnie because I was training shitmons and his Drampa ran train on my Houndour, Swablu, and Electivire and he spams safeguard so Ariados couldn’t poison it

The screenshot isn't mine, I have Meganium.

Yikes

>>723711680
>Meganium
Wow, good taste
I regreted few times not picking her and going with cool croc instead.
Anyway, outside of rogue mega tutorial my only loss was in 10 battle restaraunt. Can't believe they expected anyone to do that with team of 50lvl

They're stuck

They already used meme comedy owl, the most popular Gen 2 starter and samurai otter

Unova starters are garbage and no one cares about Chikorita but they have to use her somewhat

They're not putting a lineup of Totodile, Treecko and Torchic out there

>>723700010
Truth be told the only egregious one here is Feraligator

>>723711849
Hoenn starters were also off-limits because they already have megas and it seems the point of the starter lineup in each Legends game is to give them a new form. If they're truly making Legends Galar next, we can expect them to pick starters that don't have Gigantamax forms yet. I feel like at least one will be from Sinnoh since none of them has anything yet.

>>723711849
To be honest starters between gen 1 and gen 6 had at least one shit design, but sometimes all 3 were trash.

>>723712047
>gen 1-4
no flaws whatosever

>>723698737 (OP)

You think Gallade was incomplete without a cape and softer edges?

Every time I look at Mega Gallade the gap between the two widens

>>723712047

>gen 3

Isn't the DLC adding Charizard Z, Lucario Z, Absol Z and more?
>we got megas for pokemon that already fucking have megas

>>723712183
Gallade feels incomplete without my dick in his ass to be quiet desu with you

>>723712386
There won't be a third Charizard but we're getting a second Lucario, Absol and Garchomp.

>>723712386

>another Garchomp
current Mega Garchomp is basically a downgrade stats-wise right? hope this one is actually good

>>723712701
Yes, it's slower than base Chomp and the increases in other stats don't make up for suddenly going after faster mons.

>>723712470
You know the series is powercrept to hell when Garchomp, Heatran, and fucking Darkrai all need a boost
>Lucario and Absol
They don't need new megas. Just make mega Absol dark/fairy ffs

>>723712470
>Golisopod

Two of my favs.. what will Gamefreak do to them..

>>723712470
Ah, mixed up Charizard and Garchomp. Man, I was hoping Typlosion could get one too, I love Typlosion and I love Megas, even if the Hisuian variant is neat.

>>723712701
Believe it or not, it's actually the better swords dance sweeper because of scale shot

>>723712803
They don't need a boost, they got megas because they're popular. Or maybe to make people remember it exists in Heatran's case. Fug certainly didn't need a Megastone-free mega.

I hadn't played the game yet and thought some abilities were just still a thing passively. Apparently they bothered bringing Eelektross back but it doesn't have Levitate, either. Wasn't being a levitating electric type its whole gimmick? Why bring it back and even give it a Mega Evolution in a setting where its unique trait is just straight up missing? Giving Mega Raichu X the same gimmick in a game WITHOUT THAT MECHANIC just seems cruel. What's the point?

>>723704595
This is an ai post

RAEPhlosion has been ironically spared of this shitshow due to the leaks

>>723714394
They'll bring them over to Champions next year with the traditional battle systemand they'll get their abilities. Same deal as the Hisuian forms which had to wait until SV to be usable.

>>723698737 (OP)
Can’t believe they actually managed to make the two worst fucking starters look somewhat cool but Feraligatr looks even more like a toy.

compare old megas which were actually new and unique models like the ones in this Pic

They're just lazy and didn't want to make new models for megas this time. They're all just the old model but slightly added to to save even more money

I'm not the one who claims that original megas were new and unique, instead of just having minor updates to original sprites, which was massive charm point compared to to dynamo forms and whatever alola had.

>>723713921
I dunno, I'm honestly not interested on slim and pansy designs, Gen 9 has 2 of them, which is a shame because I like Quaxly/Sprigatito but hate Quaquaval/Meowscarada and Skeledirge line is boring,

>>723717580
It was a cool and monstrous sort of hideous in its original game, like, you know, an alligator. Every depiction after that has fucked it up more and more. Gen 3 washed out the colors and gave it a weaker jaw. Gen 4 made it thinner, the jaw even weaker, gave it eye liner, and turned the spikes into rooster combs. Gen 5 is even thinner and more washed out. Finally the transition to 3D just fucks its shit up, makes it a blobby lardass with weirdly visible pecs (???) and the color exposure is cranked up to 1000%.

lots of mons follow this pattern. Amazing Gen 2 sprite > dogshit GBA sprites > slight decline through gen 5 > X/Y permanently JUSTS them

I like him

>>723718190
Is there any other case of Pokemon sprites getting worse on each iteration?

>>723718585
swampert for sure

>>723718372
For me it's megazord

>>723718585
Gastly line has been brutalized.

>>723718803
gen one sprites are still the best for the ghastly line

>>723700010
Mega Emboar actually looks alright, actually gives it some "Fighting" vibes to it's fire/fighting type that didn't really fit it's original design.
Does it even get any fighting type moves now? Back in gen 5 I swear it only ever got Arm Thrust and Hammer Arm.

>>723716786
This

>>723718862
That's a gen 2 sprite.

>>723719056
I know
the gen 1 sprite was better

>>723698737 (OP)
When i saw that silly feraligatr i didn't expect for it to end up being the better starter mega-evo

>>723698737 (OP)
meganium has been a work horse for me. screens + giga drain is really good.

>>723718585
Salamence imo. His gen 3 colours are much nicer and the transition to 3d was very bad for him.

>>723719127
its gen 2 dracovish now, lmao

I think Feraligatr may have gotten the worst mega of all time

>>723714583

The put klefki in without its ability, which makes it even more useless.

>>723701985
>without breaking the rules of megas.
Doesn't Z-A already "break the rules"? Doesn't Eternal Floette get a mega?

>>723700010
forced whimsy happened

>>723720076
Floette got mega because she couldn't evolve after dying once
So no breaking rules

>>723698737 (OP)
Regional variants >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Megas

>>723720247
>she couldn't evolve after dying once
...Is this just your headcanon or something confirmed by the game? I didn't think there was some special reason for Eternal Floette not evolving.

>>723720657
AZ gives that as possible explanation in game why mega evolution was possible for her. Her not being able to evolve after he ressurected her is the fact that he states though

>>723720005
I put it in my team and use it for screens it’s ok, not weak to much so easy to get them off

>>723711485
Mega Barbaracle is unusually finicky compared to the other rogue encounters. I finally said fuck it and let him do his gorillion fists move and learned the tight dodging for it.

>>723700010

What's that from? Doesn't look like the Three Kingdoms series

>>723712116
Bazz vibes

>>723703846
Only if they do the ability right. Torterra deserves something like having an aura that forces the same effects as Gravity. Orbeetle's Giganta was almost good because it was almost this but flubbed it on the typing so it couldn't do anything with it

>>723698737 (OP)
I'm crying

This game is so awful. This is even worse than Scarlet and Violet

>>723700010
All of these are bad. Mega evolutions was always bad.

>>723721881
This. None of us bought it. I emulated it for ten minutes and immediately deleted it once I saw the flat windows. We are NOT falling for it again. Millions of 4channers around the world are boycotting Nintendo. In fact, I just bought Palworld another five times to protest.

>>723720872
I see, thanks for explaining.

>>723721423
All pokemon are themed monsters.

These look like the fakemons I created on my geocities site back in the 90s

Pokemon design has truly fallen

>>723698737 (OP)
I actually like Emboar's design here. The other two can go to hell.

>>723712116
>>723721764
Oh shit, you're right
can someone post this bazz + the new dragonage protagonist running webm?

>>723713274
gallade got sharpness in gen 9

Bottom - based SSJ4

Totally.

Suffering

>>723720657
Eternal Floette is a Pokemon of its own. Like the Cosplay Pikachus or Notched Ear Pichus. Just forms but completely separated thus they can't evolve or get evolved into. EF has Florges tier stats for this reason.

>>723721881
Is Scarlet/Violet really that bad? I was planning to buy it.

>>723725303
SV is best pokemon game since gen2

>>723718585
Blastoise went from a literal tank with shoulder cannons in silver to some blow up bibendum with toothpickers

>>723713374
>the change from 2010 to 2025 is that everything must be a meme now
You answered your own question dude

>>723725613
Wow, gen5 really fucked up his sprite
Why people praise gen5 sprites, again?

>Hey, Masuda. It's me. You aren't about to let some filthy Water type be cooler and more popular than me, right? You know I sign your fucking pay checks. I don't care what you have to do, just ruin it.

>>723700106
Nah, Y mogs that blue palette swap.

>>723725807
DPP did first
A lot of gen 5 sprites are copies of gen 4 but slightly animated.

>>723726026
hghs was his peak though

>>723708372
If he looked like that all the time It would have been kino and probably ny favorite mega of all time. I think the worst part was the decision for the lower jaw to be his arms. But unfortunately he only looks like that while attacking.

>>723726132
HGSS did fix a lot of shit, it was crafted with love and care unlike Masuda's games

>>723708372
>oh you know what would be an awesome final ultimate evolution of my giant alligator?
>HIS FIRST FUCKING PHASE OF COURSE
tell me why i'm supposed to appreciate "big totodile"

>>723708105
We MUST make the gator more human

>>723725510
lol, gen 2 and and sv are both dogshit

>>723726394
"Traits of earlier evolutions" was an explored theme of the new megas.
Doesn't mean it was a good idea.

>>723725303
It's actually pretty decent, despite all its flaws. And boy does it have some fucking flaws. But still, after a few performance patches and 2 DLCs, it's shaped up to be pretty decent in my opinion.

>>723726376
Only bad and soulless Masuda's games are rs and bw.

>>723708372
>it has a story behind so it's automatically good
This way of thinking is why we only have retarded designs
>b-b-but you don't understand it's based on this obscure animal mixed with a yokai it's actually super clever and original!
It's super ugly first

>>723725275
And the in-universe reason for why notched-ear Pichu can't evolve is...?

>>723725303
It's alright
Piss easy and not the bets graphics, but the characters and stories are pretty neat

>>723724973
>dex numbering for the starter always goes grass > fire > water
>but Greninja is the most popular so it's his mega stone you get in season 1
It is how it is.

>>723699260
So every final Digimon evolution is a Final Fantasy boss?

>>723726934
The evil that dwells in its heart prevents it from experiencing the true love necessary to become a Pikachu

Speaking of popularity, I'm surprised they haven't started producing XY merch again, considering how big of a success ZA is in Japan.

>>723726394
>>723726602
if i'm not mistaken, OG megas were all some form of
>[Concept], but exaggerrated by the pokemon's now overwhelming power
Which is why you would have Scizor with it's oversized chainsaw claws, Gardevoir's dress transformed into an ostentatious ball gown, Mawile growing an extra mouth etc.
Some new megas still adhere to this but you have stuff like Dragonite's "yeah it kinda evolved backwards" which is a bit dumb. Mega Clefairy would actually have been cool if not for the weird condom head. Pyroar is some straight up retardation, not sure what they were thinking there, nigga looks like a low-effort fake leak made for baiting responses.

>>723707571
This, Falinks, and Hawlucha are the only good ones
The others all look worse than the base designs or had a bad base design to begin with

>>723698737 (OP)
No wonder they never draw it, we would notice the pokemon were easily created

>>723712701
>>723712761
We also haven't seen it yet in an environment where scale shot exists, right? It might be better now, but fairy will still shit on it

>>723700010
Mega Swampert always was a nonsensical meme-mon

>>723727075
kino
so fucking... kino

>>723711361
Gmaxes were designed to look edgy/evil, which makes them automatically cooler

>>723711485
I also got KO'd by that fucker. I wasn't expecting him to do the fist barrage and then just keep going and going with it.
Also I got KO'd by Mega Starmie but that one was significantly more hilarious so I didn't mind it at all. It's honestly my fault for trying to play the game at a frame rate where things happened instantly.

>>723728389
Mega starmie is hilarious(dunno why /v/ hates him), but by his time you should have fully upgraded hp to not get killed by bullshit combos

>>723726934
Its sudden and weird interaction with Celebi caused its own internal time to misalign with the future it came to and became frozen.

>>723727438
While I support the idea that being based on or taking creative inspiration from something doesn't excuse a bad design and Pokémon fans have used "it's a reference!" as a defense far too often, I just know there's going to be the other end of the spectrum as a reaction where ANY creative inspiration is automatically seen as bad.

To bring up that other thread, Pyroar and Mega Pyroar aren't that appealing as designs. But having a 火 visual motif that becomes 炎 is fine and a very natural progression. Similarly, Fire Blast being called だいもんじ (Daimonji; literally "大 character"), resembling a 大, and having a cultural association to the giant flaming 大 they put on a mountainside near Kyoto every summer really fleshes out the move and makes it feel thought-out. It's a lot more interesting than a move with the name Fire Blast that's just a larger amount of fire. And even if the idea of shooting a giant 大 made of fire seems somewhat impractical from a visual perspective and is something you won't immediately understand without context, moves aren't scrutinized as much for their visuals, and Pokémon is a Japanese game and shouldn't be forced to be as generic and universal as possible just so everyone understands it.

I think I get it actually. After they literally admitted that they scrapped a new Eeveelution because it looked close to a fan design, they made every new mega shit on purpose in order to avoid making them look anywhere close to fanmade megas.

>>723699002
you'll get pokemon too

That's the best mega here. Why do retards like u always shit on the shit I like?
