Thread 58160558

Why aren't Pokémon allowed to be menacing and dangerous anymore?

>>58160558 (OP)
Game Freak saw everyone laughing at the FreakLeak stories and came to the conclusion that pokefans don’t want dignity in their franchise
You asked for this
You bought it anyway

Pussyfication

>>58160558 (OP)
Because retarded redditors and trannies will call them "edgy" or "digimons". Fucking faggots.

why do you think everything in gen 1 had toriyama eyes and the legendary was a frieza clone?
pokemon might be creative but it follows trends

>>58160558 (OP)
Because only Brazilians in the favelas like such things

>>58160558 (OP)
It was always goofy and not creepy. Gen1 designs are not edgy. I'm glad we came back to fun instead of gen 2-9 edgelord bullshit

>>58160558 (OP)
Bell Sprout line already went from goofy design to something creepy looking. Going back to a goofy retard is backwards honestly.

>>58160657
>gen 2 edgelord shit
The gen Sugimori went on record saying they deliberately focused on making the designs simpler and rounder to be more versatile for merch?

>>58160662
I can understand someone who likes Weepinbell not liking Victreebel since it's not as goofy, but wouldn't a split evo be a much better solution?

>>58160558 (OP)
Japanese anime design philosophy. Japan just needs to stop making games already. Give the series to talented Western devs like Rockstar/Bethesda/Naughty Dog. Then well have good designs and game design again.

>>58160618
they should have kept ripping off dbz

Because Pokemon fans constantly complain about cool, complex designs and clap like retards at cutesy, simplified blobs

>>58160558 (OP)
Weepinbell should evolve when the console is rotated

>>58160558 (OP)
What's with Japan and their obsession with blackface lips?

>>58160558 (OP)
>it traps other Pokemon in its acid bottom
>oh really when
>well it never does that on screen but like it totally does maybe sometimes

Who cares

>>58160797
Because it's a fun way to draw lips and one cannot expect the rest of the world to stop doing it simply due to America's stupidity.

Victreeballs lmao

>>58160841
Are you trying to imply that Mega Victreebel doesn't look significantly more goofy here?

>>58160823
They make every design they're used in look like shit

>>58160558 (OP)
I find this argument funny because this is literally a 14ft tall sac of acid that can blow at any moment and actively hunts down food. Doesn't matter how silly it looks.

>>58160558 (OP)
menacing and dangerous things breed strong men.
the WEF has been working diligently to remove all masculinity and badassness out of all forms of media to procure a new pussified and pacified weak beta male archetype.
so no, you can''t get gritty menacing angular designs, you get sterile, safe rounded ones.

>>58160926
Like Chansey
oh wait...

>>58160929
yeah because in the past we used to have pokemon that were designed with males in mind and pokemon that were designed with females in mind.
the OG pokemon gen had a few cute designs that were intended to grab the attention of girls.

now everything has been blended together into an androgynous abomination.

>>58160934
Like Chansey and Mr Mime.. yikes...
At least we get cool shit now like Baxcalibur and Ceruledge.

>>58160558 (OP)
>mega is shit
This is news why?

>>58160926
>decides to play a children's game
>they're trying to take away my masculinity!!
kekerino

>>58160937
this thing looks like a fucking inflatable tube with some accessories glued to it.
barney the dinosaur has more angles than this nigger.

kabutops > this baby shit

>>58160955
Such a cool Godzilla. Way better than that baby stuff or women like Chansey. So glad Pokemon is better now.

>>58160937
>cool shit now like Baxcalibur

>>58160959
Go to bed gramps, you got made cooler

>>58160937
>At least we get cool shit now like Baxcalibur
Bait used to be believable.

>>58160830
now post the gen 1 sprite

>less than 5% of gen 1 pokemon were uncool
>retards keep posting them as 'gotcha's' not realizing that like 80% of the dex of modern-day gens are worse than those 5% from gen 1.

incredible.

99% of old gens are just ugly ball shaped babymons for women while 100% of Gen 9 is cool and edgy like Koraidon. This is a fact.

>>58160960
>But make it....a robot!

No

>>58160558 (OP)
They went from designing primarily for 7-11 year olds with some overly cutesy designs that appeal mostly to younger kids and some extra edgy designs that appeal to older kids/early teens, to designing exclusively for 4-8 year olds.

>>58160558 (OP)
>people really trying to retroactively claim victreebel was always a coolmon

>>58160960
Never heard of anybody liking that awful downgrade. We already have a good mecha version of it.

>>58161002
>the ninja-type flytrap that throws leafs like ninja stars was never cool!
The entire line is 10/10 coolmons.

>>58160955
>this thing looks like a fucking inflatable tube with some accessories glued to it.
Which is more details than dragonite will ever have

>>58160996
Gotta get the money off the kids before they get older and have a higher chance to die!

>>58161027
Imagine adding a bunch of spikes and still looking worse than Dragonite lmao

>>58161051
Trash vs garbage

>>58161025
You are the only person that thinks this, I'm sorry to say

Because Pokemon is a series for girls and children.

>>58161067
This, Digimon went the "pokemon for boys" route and look how it did compared to Pokemon.

Disney started printing billions once they only targeted women, it's a known strategy.

>>58160558 (OP)
We litteraly had them.

>>58160558 (OP)
they brought back blackface xD
look at those lips

>>58160926
>breed strong men
hot...

>>58161064
>cocks arm swords
I accept your terms.

The “V-Victreebel was always meant to be goofy!” psyop certainly is interesting

we are now pretending this is supposed to be edgy and cool

>>58161237
This. Why the heckin heck do people think Gyarados is supposed to be edgy and intimidating?

>>58161256
God Gen 1 was filled with baby designs for women. Thankfully Gen 9 fixed this.

>>58161111
>The Pokemon is literally lynching itself
Can't make this up

>>58160955
>barney the dinosaur
But enough about Dragonite.

>>58160558 (OP)
>ignores the fact the mega LITERALLY CONSTANTLY BELCHES ACID THE SAME ACID THAT DIGESTS PEOPLE
Retard

>>58161440
>LITERALLY CONSTANTLY BELCHES ACID
except it doesn't

>>58161025
>flytrap
Not a flytrap.

>>58160558 (OP)
Victreebel hasn't had credibility since James had that weak-ass pitcher get oneshot by even the puniest rattata tackle 25 years ago. A sack of corrosive acid on the verge of spilling is a massive upgrade even with le chonky face.

>bro I totally always love the belsprout line. That’s why I’m mad the new final stage respect the line identity instead of fucking it over
you guys sound like the same retards who cried about dudunsparce

>>58161569
>t. didn't watch the trailer
It literally does.

>>58161853
>cute babymon must evolve into cute manchild final evo or else it would disrespect the line's identity
Absolute lunacy. Imagine you people designing the Charizard line.

>>58161853
>bro I totally always love the belsprout line.
I love both Belsprout and Victreebel, but Weepinbll was always shit.
> respect the line identity instead of fucking it over
Oh fuck off. I literally never heard anyone say they liked Victreebel for being goofy before the reveal of the Mega.
>you guys sound like the same retards who cried about dudunsparce
Oh you're one of those fags. Dunsparce is a top 10 design, and it didn't need anything else. Dudunsparce is at its best redundant, and at worst lazy slop.

>>58161880
>Oh fuck off. I literally never heard anyone say they liked Victreebel before the reveal of the Mega.
ftfy

>>58161886
It was a staple on every Blue team that didn't pick Venusaur, you fucking zoomer.

>>58161898
I really don't see the resemblance. Drinking gourds are rigid, not bloated like Mega Victreebel.
It's more similar to a wineskin or even a burlap bag.

>>58161898
>all those mental gymnastics
It's a water balloon

>>58160960
seethe harder kiddo.
