I think it's that time again...

for those playing at home.

>>57932330 (OP)
Chimeramon is cool because you can see what Digimon data was spliced together to make him. He is made from some of the most iconic species, like Greymon, Garurumon, Devimon, etc. Also extremely dangerous if he evolves further.

>>57932364

>>57932375

>>57932384
Why did you pick that one for Digimon when Monochromon is an OG diginon.

>>57932656
Yo that yokai watch one is pretty sick.

>>57932651
Looking at them like this makes me think that Diglet has a similar aesthetic. 2 eyes and a round nose instead of a mouth.

>>57932423
canoweissmon is ceratopsian dragon, how often do you see that? Monochromon was fodder while the the chosen mon was taking out pretty strong kanzentai.

>>57932384
monster hunter did it betterest

>>57932656

>>57932656
Man the IV:A art for medusa was a real improvement

>>57932792
I like ghost game, but Canoweissmon is sort of a generic dragon at first glance compared to Monochromon which is a more obviously fit with the theme that was being shown.

But eh, it's your picks.

>>57933014
So many of the IV art was bizarre. Not that I'd say that's a bad thing considering the subject matter. I think they had a lot of guest artists that game.

>>57932916
Nah. Not only is Meduza just a localization name, but one that was never used in the final game. There is literally nothing Medusa-like about Tangela other than having wiggly things on its head.

>>57933014
I prefer the IV one. I like the more detailed bones.

>>57933244
has monchromon ever done anything cool ever, idk man. It's just that all of gammamon's evolutions were ceratopsian it's creative use of such.

>>57933342
It's a decapitated Medusa head, but okay, if G10 is really going to be Greece, there's hope for a regional or convergent form.

>>57933506

>>57933870

>>57933893
As much as I like the Zoma design, i hope SMT gives us a proper Leviathan some day.

Goddamn a lot of these DQ designs are way more shit than their counterparts. Even in a "haha funny meme" way some of em still seem halfassed and Yokai Watch outdoes them in that department anyway.

Requesting Jarjachas

>>57932375
These are all ass. None of them capture the silly peacefullness of what gorillas are actually like.

>>57935399
Here's one with almost entirely different gorillas

>>57935411
I think Slaking does it the best. It can kill you in an instant, but is just a chill guy. The monster hunter one also seems fitting since the temperment comes from the bull not the ape.

>>57932375
>optimus instead of a gorilla medabot
That's cheating

digimon always will be the best other franchises cant compete when is about designs

>>57932375
Why did you put a trukk in your munky comparison?

>>57935706
It's a subversion of fairy tales, it's a bipedal red wolf whose fur emulates a hood, as well as resembling sheepskin, the stones on its ribs resemble "sheepskin" hooves.

>>57935770
Honestly, it's not a new idea.

>>57935706
>Even Darkstalkers has one
Why is Gamefreak behind the times?

>>57932375
BITCH THAT ISNT MEDABOTS THATS FUCKING BEAST WARS

>>57933475
Wouldn’t WezenGammamon be a better choice then? If Canoweiss was unrelated to Gammamon you wouldn’t notice the ceratopsian connection

>>57935504
>>57935869
It’s from a Japanese only Medabots app. They’ve got a lot of crossover bots including Digimon, Megaman, and NGE.
Still wouldn’t include it when other gorilla medabots exist.

>>57933352
Agreed, honestly struggling to understand how the other one is seen as an improvement. Also the hair is better and the leather biker/death metal/BDSM spike details more pronounced being more jagged. SMT4A just feels like a more generic anime monster girl with how smooth it all is.

>>57935411

>>57935399
These are MONSTERS! WARRIORS! Not animals so chill the fuck out!


>>57935869
>>57935491
>>57936757
NOT SO FAST!!!
All of the other series have had guest artists or inclusions
>yugioh had plenty of references to other series made by konami
>yokai watch had a yugioh demon included
>A good number of digimon were designed from reused kaiju sprites from the digital pet era
>some are actual references from the 70's and 80's

> Hitoshi Ariga was a guest artist who designed Aegislash,the miss matched fossils, mega bedrill and a bunch of others.

So Optimus Primal is still valid.
>>57935891
>>57935411
I was trying to put the best foot forward for each series, that gorilla looks awful for medarot. Wezengammamon isn't gonna cut it compared to the other ceratopsians you know?

>>57932375
>Everyone did it better than pokemon
top kek

>>57936984
There's a massive difference between a monster being a pop-culture reference and one being the result of a brand collaboration.
Can you really say you are putting your best foot forward when you are using another company's design with minor differences.
Not that "putting your best foot forward" matters anyway because I think it is far more important to find something that both represents the franchise well as well as what best represents the subject you are comparing.

>>57936984
>>57937036
Also, "putting your best foot forward" is completely subjective. I personally like Wezen Gammamon far more than Canoweissmon.

>>57933774
Have this dude tag in for YW

>>57937053
>>57937036
Shoulda used Regulusmon instead retards

>>57937036
Those all look like crap and is giving pokemon the upper hand. The yugioh and dragon quest designs are from when folks used dodge in burntool quite often in the early-mid 90s....

>Can you really say you are putting your best foot forward when you are using another company's design with minor differences.

Like I said, darktyrannomon,raremon, and deltamon were reused designs from the tamagatchi era. Also there have been Yokai watch/yugioh crossovers.


>>57937066
that's from spectrobes my guy, also it has sword elements, but it isn't a sword.

>>57937106
>Those all look like crap and is giving pokemon the upper hand.
Again this is all subjective. I personally am big fan of Toriyama’s art and I simply find earlier Yugioh art more charming than most of the recent stuff. I like both of them more than Aggron even, though Wezen Gammamon is still my favorite.
>Like I said, darktyrannomon,raremon, and deltamon were reused designs from the tamagatchi era
Their final designs are far different in the end. Can you really say Deltamon is just Ghidorah in Digimon’s style
>Also there have been Yokai watch/yugioh crossovers
I wouldn’t use those either.

>>57937134
> personally am big fan of Toriyama’s art
>arlier Yugioh art more charming than most of the recent stuff.
me too, I am just not a fan of dodge burn.

> Can you really say Deltamon is just Ghidorah in Digimon’s style
Honestly that's not the case. Ok fine, maybe I was wrong in that respect, but the other gorillia options weren't the bet .

>>57937166

>>57937242

>>57937053
This thread has taught me that medabot has a lot of sick designs.

>>57937106
You're giving real 'just watches the anime fights on youtubd while skipping the story' vibes.

>>57933014
Soulless

>>57937539
Thematically I think Golurk fits Thematically more. Undead greenish hulk with a stitched up body.

>>57932330 (OP)
This one

>>57937166

>>57937528
nah, b. I watched pretty much all of digimon 1-3 dubbed bc I was a kid and 4-onward subbed..
I watched most of pokemon 1-2 dubbed, and I watched mostly gym battles/league fights subbed onward.

I also watched the devil children,medarot, and watched/read dai no daibouken original and remake.

>>57938639
>2025
>Still no dolphin in any monster taming series.

>>57936757
>>57936984
I know where it's from, but you can't use a fucking event design to represent the franchise.

And that is not a reference, a reference is an homage, that's just literally optimus primal in design.

While Iron Hands is reaching a bit, Takemikazuchi was a thunder deity that partook in the first ever sumo match.

I'm not sure if Silvally can even 1v1 any UB. Not even Guzzlord

>>57935955
Calling Dusk Mane a manticore is really stretching it.

>>57939089
Looks more like a dogu to me

>>57939089
>>57939868

>>57932651
When G. Corsola opens his mouth it resembles a haniwa, even Allister's mask makes reference to both.

>>57939917

>>57936984
Goomulonimbus and Cumulus vex fit better

What this entire thread is showing me is that Yugioh is pretty shit at monster designs. No overarching themes like all the other series have, just super generic. That and Digimon hits hard or misses hard with little inbetween.
Any one for samurai like Kingambit?
>>57936984
I'd chill the fuck out if we also had a gorilla mon that chilled the fuck out (less sloth like and sillier than slacking preferably dark colored)

there is a new shark digimon Sharkmon, if anyone have shark theme one

>>57939995
>What this entire thread is showing me is that Yugioh is pretty shit at monster designs.
folks aren't posting the really out there ones.

>Any one for samurai like Kingambit?
I made one for heavy samurai awhile back

>>57939974
>Goomulonimbus
that's both fujin and raijin...But common man, that looks dumb af, like I said best footfoward.

>>57940069
what is the theme here?

>>57940084
wearing a skin.

>>57940026
I’m always surprised when names like that are still available after more than 1000 designs.
Biggest surprise to me was probably Dinomon not being used until about a year ago despite like one third of all Digimon being somewhat Dino-like.

>>57938561
Meinshao needs a Ghost type regional based on hopping vampires

>>57940823
Perfect for a Chinese region, but it's never going to happen....unless it's a Legends-type spinoff and needs a method to transfer those Pokemon to the main games

>>57940295
I assume it was for the same reason that there is no digimon named Digitalmon.

>>57940086
What is this? The devil? Because the fact that you weren't able to find an SMT version of whatever this is mind boggling.

Also, I wanna say. I don't agree with a lot of your choices, but I respect that you're actually taking the time to make this pics.

>>57940823
>>57940978
I fucking love Jiangshi, they are my favorite type of undead.

>57932375
Not Green Baboon
>57932833
Not Muusik'i from the archetype full of aliens
>57933870
Not Chaos Hunter or Allure Queen, the monsters that enslave other monsters
>57933893
An anime shot of Daedalus instead of art where you can actually see him
>57937166
Not People Running About or Retaliating 'C', actual swarms of creatures instead of King being alone
>57937242
Fucking MEDIUM Piece Golem instead of any of the Gate Guardian pieces, Gogogo Golem, classic Giant Soldier of Stone, Ancient Gear Golem, Lava Golem, etc.
>Golurk instead of any of the original Regi Trio or Gigas.

Definitely not putting the best foot forward for ygo even by yugiboomer standards.

well it's a baboon, not a gorilla. Looks more like an orc than gorilla tho
>Not Muusik'i from the archetype full of aliens
I didn't make that one, and yeah using ufo turtle is pretty stupid.
>Not Chaos Hunter or Allure Queen, the monsters that enslave other monsters
didn't make that one either, I would have though
>An anime shot of Daedalus instead of art where you can actually see him
alright my bad
>Not People Running About or Retaliating 'C', actual swarms of creatures instead of King being alone
You can't see the roaches in the "C" cards, and "people running about" common bro
>Fucking MEDIUM Piece Golem instead of any of the Gate Guardian pieces, Gogogo Golem, classic Giant Soldier of Stone, Ancient Gear Golem, Lava Golem, etc.
Giant solider of stone is kinda stiff my guy, same with the gate guardian pieces, gear golem is more robot than golem, I was going to intially use golden form, but it looks more like a robot as well.
>Golurk instead of any of the original Regi Trio or Gigas.
Regigas looks stupid and has noodle arms, I don't think any of them would even come close to Ruin or BanchoGolemon.

>>57941160
>>57942059
Fuck off. UFO turtle is awesome.

>>57932375
SMT had an ape demon, but I forget his name.
using optimus is also niggerish.

so this is Ariemon a brand new Digimon from the web novel/card game, in what theme does she fit?

>>57942607
clamperl or chimecho

>>57942607
She's supposedly an arie, a mermaid-like yokai. I don't know of any other, but arie are associated and often considered the same as amabie, another mermaid-like yokai. There's a few of those.

>>57943531
>that bakemon
kek

>>57943852
Thats soulmon, the highest quality mon in existence

>>57944727
For me it's Summoned Skull.

>>57942059
Wheres Lokix?

>>57943413

>>57944975
I know that Jynx is a Yama Uba with a mix of a Gyaru Yamamba, but a regional or convergent version based on an Amabie would be interesting.

>>57944981

>>57944727
Marowak is cooler.

>>57945117
Marowak isn't a skeleton. It just wears and weaponizes bones.

>>57945117
Houndoom and Mandibuzz are also skeletons by your logic dumbass.

>>57945127
So creatures with Skull helmet or armor, ...Bone warriors?

>>57945141

>>57945353
dq easily

>>57945138
>>57945127
Jesus christ don't be such bitches. All I said was Marowak was cooler. Don't throw a hissy fit and try and justify it with logic when I could easily say that HoundSTONE isn't a skeleton either, it's just got rocky body parts that resemble skeletons.

>>57945458
All I said was Marowak isn't a skeleton.
> I could easily say that HoundSTONE isn't a skeleton either, it's just got rocky body parts that resemble skeletons
You really can't. It's not even a rock type. There is nothing to imply that anything beyond the headstone on its head is made of rock.

>>57945539
That's fair, sorry for lashing out at you.

>>57945566
Ah, don't worry about it

a new pendulum was annaunced plus the news about the new anime, so we a gonna get some more digimons for this.

the sprites looks like a cow, a fish, and an hermit crab? also the digimon from the anime is Gekkomon

>>57946102
The monke mon looks great.

>>57945127
Nakarkos is in that image and it's just a cuttlefish that wears bones

>>57946102
Aquatic bros are eating good this year. Two VP ones in pic + three more from Time Stranger.

Also got a decent chunk last year but a lot of those were New Century ones which universally suck.

>>57946178
Good point, but Monster Hunter doesn't have any other skeletal or skeleton-themed monsters that I'm aware of

>>57939886
Goated design choice.

>>57946771

>>57939642
I originally didn’t have a Pokémon on there, but somebody brought up Dusk Mane. I figure a lion with wings and a sharp tail is close enough. Just missing the human face.

>>57941220
I would've gone with the Nocturne Forneus design because it stands out more.

Smells fishy in here

>>57947423
Just put mega absol on there if that’s your criteria.

>>57947423
I actually felt Duskmane fit as it has a another creature's face where its lion face should be. Fits the vibe of a manticore, which works as most pokemon designs are more about fitting the vibe of their inspirations more than being direct.

Still no smt fugu....

>>57947467
Seems more manta-like to me

>>57943413
>>57942797
Tapu Fini is mermaid-like + has a shell like that digimon

>>57948294
>fat fish with spike armor
ok that is funny

>>57948946
Tapu Fini doesn’t really have anything connecting it to Amabie. The main physical trait associated with them is the three tail fins, which even the Digimon seem to have represented by its sleeves.

>>57942461

Does Dragon Quest, Yokai Watch, Yugioh, or Medabots have Quetzalcoatl monsters like Pokemon, Digimon, and SMT?

Hawlucha is not a Garuda

>>57945353
That yugioh card is just the one monster from megaman battle network

>>57950753
I honestly think Orochimon is a better fit here

>>57950768
Orochimon goes in the Orochi chart

i love Entai
it captures the pride of a lion pretty well, especially realistic looking art online
do lions pls

>>57950817
>>57950753
Kamitsuorochi is hydrapple's japanese name.

>>57951844

>>57950753
>>57950817
Hydraple is an Orochi mixed with the myth of Ladon, the dragon of the Hesperides.

Hydreigon is Zmei Gorynych or an Azhdai, three-headed winged dragons from Eastern Europe and Russia, or a Ghidora if you're looking for something more pop-culture-related.

>>57952017
This is most noticeable with Shiny Hydraple and its golden apple.

>>57952017
https://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/
>The aim was to recreate Yamata no Orochi (the mythical Japanese dragon with 8 heads), but so many heads can make a creature look disgusting. Thus the design of Hydreigon, with one true head, and whose arms and wings give it a silhouette that still looks like lots of heads.

>>57952045
If we're going to count everything that was lost from its initial concept to the final design, then put it alongside the tanks.

What would a shoe pokemon even look like?

>>57953008
This youkai, probably

There is something so consistent with Digimon and Medabots still maintanong the trend of shit tier designs through all these years it's impressive.
No wonder when something is cringe and overdesigned it's usually compared to a Digimon.
>>57947120

Tangela was originally a later game mon so it's not that crazy.

>>57957337
>>57957844
I was going to say this, Monster Rancher has like 15 designs per game with a lot of variety in skins. I love them, but they don't really have a lot to offer in this regard.

>>57958337
God, Shiisamon looks so good in that art.

>>57958445
So its less about the actual designs themselves but more that you don't like what you perceive the series to be. Huh. Okay.

>>57958695
That dog doesn't immediately jump to mind as a Guardian Dog, it seems more like a zodiac dog if I had to guess. Seeing a monkey and a bull is giving me zodiac vibes, but that's just speculation on my part.
