Tyranitar's belly resembles pupitar

And then mega tyranitar ruined the subtly of this detail by making it all over the top and in your face

Arbok having regional pattern variation

>>58017983
Almost like the originals were designed the way they were for a reason. That's why every mega evolution looks worse than the original.

>>58018077
>HGSS Arbok doesn't have the gen 2 design
I guess they forgot their own lore?

>>58018134
Small indie scale pattern genetics, please understand

>>58018077
>>58018134
>encounter arbok in kanto
>still has a different pattern
GSCbros... our response?

>>58018149
kek

>>58018077
Until you transfer one between games and the pattern suddenly changes to match the current game's sprites/textures

>>58018134
does FRLG?

>>58017956 (OP)
he EATED it

Wrong.
They don't want you to know this.

>>58018381
>emojis are filtered out
This is so incredibly tragic.

>>58018386
imagine being this new

>>58018388
It's not that I wasn't aware, I just don't try to post them often enough to remember it. I get reminded like once every six months.

>>58018077
Enough of this bullshit. Arbok has looked the same in every game since FRLG updated the sprite. Hoenn sprites were all over the place for all the dexcut mons. Blame Emerald for reusing the garbage RS sprites.

>>58018384
i don't get it

>>58018873
tyranitar has a shiny pinsir hiding in its stomach

>>58018879
I like that headcannon post about tyranitar being related to beetles like pinsir

>>58018077
The new standard pattern is the same as the RB one
The GSC pattern is also the same as the RB pattern except it's updated slightly thanks to the better color palette, and the RSE one is a simple copy of that, except that RSE sprites are dogshit so it looks weird

The differences are not an intentional design, and in fact we haven't gotten a different pattern since gen 4 which standardized pokémon designs

>>58018893
>The new standard pattern is the same as the RB one
Yes, but the zigzags on the back are missing. That's an interesting aspect of the design that has since been abandoned. I kinda miss them.

>>58017956 (OP)
>evolved form uses visual cues from past stages
Wow! Nugens could never think of doing something this crazy!

>>58018932
You haven’t been looking deep enough then

>>58018384
Tyranitar bugmech confirmed.

>>58019050
Can't forget this badboy.

>>58018122
That's not true. Off the top of my head, Gallade looks better as a mega.

>>58018122
Mega Beedrill >>>>> Regular Beedrill

>>58018122
Mega Sceptile should’ve been the default

Gastly - head
Haunter - arms
Gengar - legs + becomes heavy
Mega Gengar - connects with ground
Gigantamax Gegnar - a portal

it's a spirit that tries to bind itself to the real world and ends up becoming so powerful it creates a link between ghost world and the real world

Kino.
