>small green wings still in its back
nope

>>58027138 (OP)
I don't really like those wings on his head. In fan art they look ok but ingame not really.
But this mega adds very little changes to Dragonite, and I do like base Dragonite anyways.

I hated it at first but it’s growing on me. He just fused with Dragonair

Why did it regress and pick up Dragonair's design motifs?

>>58027387
Because people bitched it looked nothing like the line it came from

>>58027387
because fags have bitched about dragonair turning into barney since 1996 so this retarded mega is their attempt at pleasing them

>>58027138 (OP)
I've always expected a Mega Dragonite to look dopey af.

>>58027387
Because it’s le heckin cool to randomly staple things on a pokemon, and say it references its past forms.

I love h-goodra, one of my fav nugen designs, what's wrong with it???

>>58027478

Nobody who played the originals complained. Look at the original sprites, the logical transition is there. It's just zoomers cooming for dragonair who complain.

>>58027261

also apparent scales, a face of an actual reptile, and without those stubs that became his back wings

She's pretty

We need to rape every single dragonair fag for causing this because they couldn't stop bitching and whining about their serpent being an irrelevent middle-evo

>off model

>>58027565
Everybody I knew thought the RB sprites looked like shit and were glad when yellow/GS made them look like the cards/anime. back then dragonite was gay and dragonair was for girls.

>>58027646
To be perfectly honest, I wish they could have continued the blue color at least. It still throws me off in the same way that Venonat should evolve into Butterfree.

>>58027138 (OP)
you must like goyslop then.

Doubling down on the "cute dragon" idea was a bad call. His mega should've leaned into a quintessential dragon design.

That's most of 4cuck these days lol

>>58027743
it's a bad call to make cute designs in general, only women care about cute designs and they only really give a shit about the Eeveelutions, Pikachu and maybe the pikaclones. So making cute designs for anything other than an Eeveelution or a pikaclone is literally a waste and it pleases nobody except the usual slopsuckers

His mega should have been edgegonite

>>58027138 (OP)
It looks so fucking shit lol

>>58027138 (OP)

>>58027138 (OP)
I do too. Cant wait to transfer my shiny to ZA down the line. Ive only ever gone for one pokemon in SV on my birthday with a destiny mark and it ended up being a shiny dratini, so I was pretty happy it gets a mega. I just hope it's incredibly busted.

>>58027501
And where does pic related do that...?

>>58027138 (OP)
*her
There are no male dragonites.

>>58028695
It’s a generous interpretation of Mega Tyranitar, adding the eyes of Pupitar to its chest and the horn of Larvitar to its head.
Though the more likely interpretation is that they just didn’t want to put in any effort and did the “slap spikes on it” method like most megas

>>58027138 (OP)
how can you like it? they did the absolute bare minimum on his design. looks more like a regional variant at best

>>58028905
Ummmm yeah that’s why I like it :3

>>58028905
So you mean it looks good instead of boring edgy garbage?

>>58027646
Absolutely nothing could make Dragonite look good

He cute, though they should have made the little bat-like wings feathered too

>>58028799
It's a reference to space godzilla, but spikes instead of gems.

same already my fav mega!!

>>58029026
I personally like Dragonites shiny, but I really hope the shiny becomes pink when it mega evolves.

>>58027138 (OP)
>>58027368
>>58029004
>>58029026
I don’t like the design, but I admit it looks much better in fan art. I get the feeling that if this design originated as a sprite back on the GBA/DS, I’d be a fan

>>58027138 (OP)
>pokemon that becomes goofy becomes goofier
>people somehow surprised

He's so cute I can't stand it

Great, soulful design that respects what Megas were always about. Shame it'll be stuck in an ugly and bad game, but it's cool.

>>58027138 (OP)
It’s not the design. It’s wrong that it’s a Mega instead of a regional evolution.

People wanted this for how long? Now they gave it to you… but it’s still just a temporary form of the same Dragonite that everyone thought made no sense evolving from Dragonair, instead of being a replacement Dragonite that made sense evolving from Dragonair. This doesn’t fix the design issue that irked people, it just magnifies it.

>>58027406
>>58027387
Because they probably designed it to be this Gen’s Hisuian Goodra, but God said “it needs to be a mega evo. nobody retcons my fat goober”

Getting hit by Aqua Tail looks like it would hurt a lot with that mon.

inb4 its ability is Protean

>>58027138 (OP)
Just give dragonair a regional evo that doesn't look like complete shit please. Absolutely ruined evo line.

>>58029004
>>58029026
>>58029123
As always, fanart warms me up to yet another canon design. The in-game assets just lack that charm.

I love seeing fanart of its dex thingy, like it's some crazy battle psycho grinning while smashing others

>>58027138 (OP)
I'm mixed on him but the amount of comments I'm seeing from normies saying shit like "This doesn't look badass at all, it looks goofy!" about a DRAGONITE form is fucking insane.

>>58029654
It's getting really good art, too

>>58027732
You can really tell this guy is an underage brown /pol/nigger and he just picked up a cool new buzzword

>>58027138 (OP)
Fuck you I hate it

>>58027138 (OP)
Me too! Not every Dragon-type needs to be an Edgelord. Let Dragonite be derpy/adorable

>>58027138 (OP) (OP)
That's a Digimon

>>58027138 (OP)
I like it but I wish it had a bit more blue/green. Maybe another orb in the neck or some blue on the wings

>>58027259
They might show another new mega at Worlds

>>58027138 (OP)
Fagonite gets more favorable treatment than charizard and incineroar

>>58030575
>1 mega is better treatment than 2 megas and a giga

>>58029654
case in point, Delphox.

Whet it was revealed with picrel official art and the in game stance that makes it look like a traffic cone, I hated it.

Over time I played gen 3 romhacks where they added every Pokemon and I started playing with Delphox as a starter, because I had recently watched the XYZ anime and Fennekin was presented as a random starter option in the romhack I was playing. I noticed hey you know what? Delphox doesn't look bad, it's just that the company that produced it doesn't know what to do with it.

Over more time I eventually found fan art and the rest is history. Delphox is my absolute favorite Pokemon and it took a long time for me to get there because fucking Gamefreak doesn't know how to present it well.

>>58030719
I remember a time where there were two type of delphox-inclusive hacks: ones that used the sprites made from its 3d model (thus it looked like a stiff traffic cone), and ones that used sprites made from its artwork (giving it a softer pose). The latter were the better ones, obviously.

In fact A LOT of 3d-native pokemon suffered from this. There were some pixelart wizards doing wonders but there were also people just pixelating the 3d poses which made stuff like gourgeist and bunnelby (to name what comes to mind) look atrocious

>>58027138 (OP)
Same, there's a reason so many fan designs looked like this, it is the only logical next step in Dragonite's design.

There is a ton of good dragonite fanart on twitter, so I think its mostly a hit, in japan especially.

Though even that ain't getting anywhere close to Corbeau lol

>>58027138 (OP)
I'm surprised that the wings are so disliked

>>58027138 (OP)
I think it's a cute design, love the callback to his previous stage

>>58030585
Don't forget the nonstop shilling in all forms of Pokemon related media. Gamefreak is shameless when it comes to Charizard.

>>58027138 (OP)
>him

>>58027624
Too much

>>58030730
Yeah I remember when some romhacks have updated their sprites because the sprites they were using didn't look good and the newly drawn ones were much better. The one I remember the change for is Sprigatito.

> two type of delphox-inclusive hacks: ones that used the sprites made from its 3d model (thus it looked like a stiff traffic cone), and ones that used sprites made from its artwork
That explains the random romhack I found that had a different sprite for Delphox than I was used to while Fennekin and Braixen were the same as the rest. I didn't like how it looked so it was probably the old 3D model-made sprite.

>>58027501
Not sure why people hate on Dragonite Mega design but look at the current megas we got lol. T-tar could have been much better

>>58030954
oh yeah seeing mega tyranitar in the video made me think that mega dragonite is probably okay

We need to address the indian elephant in the room: How the fuck do you balance this giant goofy winged dino without it becoming the second coming of Mega Fug given its typing, moveset and also Dragon Dance allowing it to have one up on Mega Garchomp? Anything more than +20 on most stats, and it's going to haunt OU in a way not seen since Gen 6 Bravest Bird. if not infinitely worse.

>>58031108
>How the fuck do you balance this giant goofy winged dino
It's simple, you don't. It will be broken so that people will use it online.

>>58027138 (OP)
>make tail longer
>add gigantic wings on head
Lazy and genuinely looks retarded.

>>58027138 (OP)
>>58027501
Would Mega Dragonite had been different if it was released as the counterpart to Mega Tyranitar instead of Aggron back in XY?

It's retarded. They stapled a pidgey to its head.

There was 100s of other possibilities

>>58031402

>>58031405
Dragonite is the derp dragon though, so that's a valid consideration. Leaning into the retarded is probably a solid choice

>>58031108
>>58031207
It's a single player offline game you dingbats

>>58031413
Honestly I think the real win here would been to make him fuck huge and shadowy.

>>58027138 (OP)
I was more excited that Machamp is coming back. No mega evolution or regional variant required.

>>58027138 (OP)
it's better than every PLA mon combined

>>58031422
10/10 would use

>>58031422
That's not Dragonite, that's the Valkire

>>58031422
They should've given it a giga in that case

>>58031434
>>58031422
cool galarian dragonite :^)

>>58027138 (OP)
I dont love it, but its a pretty good design. Glad they didnt turn it into piece of shit and put horns all over it.

>>58030351
Megas are literally the Digimon gimmick because it's one of the only times a pokémon temporarily evolves and devolves.

>>58031207
Its going to be in VGC eventually, you nonce. Or do you think Game Freak is giving their favorite Pokémon Super Saiyan shill forms only to not let them be available in PvP

Cute big boy
