How do we stop this

Get ready for kino, chud.

>>58150056 (OP)
By having a guy stand behind Pokemon designers and smacking the back of their head every time they try and give a Pokemon "personality" instead of having it look like an animal.

>>58150056 (OP)
stop being a chud and learn to enjoy things??

>>58150056 (OP)
Spreading the leaks and killing as much hype for the game as possible might be a start. It's not likely they'll change anything at this point though.

>>58150056 (OP)
Is this the actual concept lmao?

>>58150056 (OP)
>9 generations of lore about starmie being an alien
>The mega has long legs because fem tierno likes to dance

>>58150232
Yup, welcome to nu-Pokemon, where the Pokemon are designed to compliment a character rather than the other way around.

>>58150126

Do you enjoy getting kicked in the balls repeatedly because this is what it feels like they are doing by ruining classic beloved Pokemon with stupid parody concepts

>>58150292
...You mean like what they've been doing from the very start with the Clefairy lowbrow gag manga?

>>58150232
I truly hate modern gamefreak

>>58150232
Can aliens not have long legs?

>>58150056 (OP)
No one stopped the pedophile who wrote the freak leak stories, why should I stop this?

>>58150108
how about you get smacked behind the head and learn to stop making fan art so you can have a higher chance to get "good designs" to you that goes for everyone in said fandom who makes fan art

>>58150304
Martians from War of the Worlds don't count btw.

>vp isn't ready for StarMAN
I can't wait.

>>58150292
How is it ruined? Starmie still exists, if you don't like the mega just don't use it?

>>58150330
Doesn't work that way.

>>58150336

Starmie turning into an alien vehicle would actually be cool, not allowed

>>58150332
Is it autism?

Feels like they had more paradox concepts that didn't make the cut so they turned them into new megas instead

>>58150253
it's Ohmori's fault

>>58150253
How do you know it's not the other way around? Are you psychic?

almost 30 years of waiting for Starmie to get content and GameFreak is just using it to make another reddit meme mon for xitter users to laugh at and blindly praise

>>58150367
Because ever since Ohmori took over, Pokemon has been putting increasing emphasis on the human characters over the Pokemon?

>>58150307

Because we need you to. Starmie needs you to.

How about a secret, third option?

>>58150400

Sorry for your loss...

>>58150253
>where the Pokemon are designed to compliment a character rather than the other way around.
You mean like crobat?

>>58150309
How about they just hire people who make good fan arts because they are clearly 1000 times more talented than anyone who works at Pokemon Company or Gamefreak

>>58150232
Bro. Tall long legged aliens are very popular in Jap media.

>>58150056 (OP)
My ideal mega starmie would've been something like pic related. Unfortunate to see one of my all time favorite mons turn into the 5th "LOL IT GETS LONGER" joke. Someone needs to tell gamefreak that it isn't funny!

>>58150568

It's like they actively know what people want and then go out of their way to do the opposite as rage bait

>>58150586
Imagine if they took a badass mon like chandelure and gave its a pacifier and baby bib. That's how i feel rn as a starmiestud

>>58150597

I'm convinced the staff there has been so annoyed with fans asking to bring back megas for so long that this is some sort of twisted revenge to get back at everyone so they never ask for new megas again

>>58150603
?this is literally what people want though, everyone loves these?

>>58150568
Really? That's pretty much what Starmie looks like already, the gem part is just sharpened into another star. That's your dream evo?

starmie just wanted some sex appeal so they gave it long legs everyboday here needs 2 remain clam youre losing ur shit over nothing now if they gave starmie a face i would punch it right in its star core

>>58150612
Basically that design with a unique alien color palette like pic related.
>>58150607
The Pokémon community is now facing the consequences for shitting on gen 5's dex, mega charizard x, mega garchomp, and mega sharpedo. Reddit is now in charge of the design board

Imagine unironically defending this

>>58150628
i'm afraid you got revved by legs :(

Face it, megas are now just a joke to make things look absurd as possible for viral marketing purposes

>>58150647
Yeah this humanoid reptile with a wrestling belt is 100% serious doe

>>58150628
The magic girl one + current design could work

>>58150568
That looks a straight downgrade from the og

>>58150660
Still better than what we are going to be getting

>>58150363
Long legs starmie is 1000% an axed Gigamax they brought back as a mega.

>>58150688

I believe this with all of my being

It should have just been a regional variant where it isn't psychic anymore and thus has to walk normally instead of levitating

All I'm saying is, if Starmie's revealed next and suddenly /vp/ likes it, then everyone has all the rights to say "I told you so"

>>58150056 (OP)
Finally someone gets it. Staryu and Starmie had massive shout-outs to Ultraman in the anime.

>>58150108
spbp

>>58150561
not only jap media

>>58151049
proof redditurds are the ones shilling mememon shit.

>>58150607
are you from another planet or something?
everyone hates Meganite and Megabel got a 50/50 reception

>>58150561
nice source there bro

>>58151070
everyone loves both doebeit

>>58151065
Always have been

>>58151065
Well duh only a bootlicker redditor could defend this slop

>>58150056 (OP)
This series is nothing but memes and porn now

>>58151268
>>58151049
I hate whimseyfags so fucking much.

goofychads win again

>>58150108
Yes please.

>>58150304
An alien modeled after a starfish cannot have long legs, no.

>>58150628
This is the result of Game Freak's paranoia about getting accused of stealing fan designs. The sheer amount of fan designs that exist means that every good concept imaginable has been done, so GF can only do retarded shit. No fan would ever design something like a Starmie with long legs.

>>58150056 (OP)
This is unironically kino and you're soulless if you think otherwise.

>>58151429
>T. >>58151049

>>58150568
>>58150628
Whenever faggots complain about a design then post how you wanted one that was just as bad if not worse I remember why the opinion of /VP/tards is worthless

>>58150056 (OP)
>Tentacruel
>Magneton
>Victreebel
>Starmie
What's with the current trend of giving weird/monster mons goofy forms? Will we ever see the reverse with goofymons like Quagsire and Wobuffet getting edgy forms

>>58150441
I like this one

>>58150056 (OP)
It is fate

>>58150292
Starmie's been an Ultraman parody since its inception. Pokemon's concept as a whole is an Ultraman parody.

>>58151364
Mega Dragonite bringing back Dragonair cues is probably the most common Mega evolution idea, and they went with it nonetheless.

Mega Starmie being a shitty le funneh joke xD mememon is going to be because GF is all about epic memes and irony, not because fans design good megas

>>58150253
this shit started with Bede thought

>>58150628
>Imagine unironically defending this
There's nothing to defend, the actual design isn't out yet retard.

Ahem...

>>58152557
No you don't get it you NEED to hate everything new no matter what!

>>58150056 (OP)
If they lean more into sentai/kaiju stuff like this then I might actually like it. Some silliness is good but it gets old when every single thing goes full meme for easy marketing.

>>58151330
Why?

>>58152562
>>58150432

>>58151444

Reddit fags are the only ones defending these goofy ass designs

>>58152806

Starmie was cool, now it's going to be lame

>>58150787

I would be fine with a shooting star concept. We all know that's not going to happen though and it's going to be this retarded shit instead

>>58150336
>>58150232
we were robbed

>>58150056 (OP)
>Humanoid form
I can't believe I'm saying this, but from what I've seen, if this is the actual mega, this will probably be the best-looking mega out of all of them.

>>58153659

stop trolling

STARMIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>58150108

>>58150056 (OP)
Smash its gem

So why are people mad that a pokémon as bland and forgettable as starmie is getting a new form that fix his design?

>>58150056 (OP)
It's hard to improve perfection

>>58154764
The new form is retarded as fuck and a reddit tier mememon

>>58150056 (OP)
Now you know how Shiny Cramorant fans feel, huh?

>>58154764
>Is that a pokémon without a job or not a funnny reddit maymay xDDD wholesome chungus keanu reeves 100 like a sir?!!! IT'S BLAAAAAND PLEASE GAMEFREAK MAKE THE LONG BOI JOKE AGAIN AAAAA

>>58155067
Seems like everything they make now is supposed to be le epin funny joke

>>58156050
Long legs starmie sure is an unfunny joke
