Lame options

>>58365240 (OP)
Why do they keep trying to make Zeraora happen

If Heatran can be redeemed with a cool Mega, all will be forgiven.

>>58365240 (OP)
>Heatran getting a Mega
SOULLLLLLL

>>58365317
they've been trying to recapture lucario for a long time but somehow can't get it through their heads that the reason lucario took off is because a riolu egg was literally handed to you by an NPC that showed it off
as opposed to zoroark being event-locked on release and zeraora being permanently event-locked
nobody fucking cares about mythical slop it doesn't make the mon special it just makes it so nobody thinks about it

>mega he a tran
ugh fuck off I was happy that ugly piece of shit finally fell off

>>58365337
Lucario was also pushed years ahead of Gen 4

>>58365317
>>58365337
its actually popular in japan retards

>>58365240 (OP)
>proofless
bugs in anus for all eternity

>>58365341
zoroark was also pushed in advance and got a movie just like lucario but ended up being mostly irrelevant

If Heatran doesnt mega into an Efreet looking motherfucker, im not interested. Watch it be some dumbass looking lava horse.

>>58365317
Zeraora is proven to be the second most popular mythical worldwide, and among the most popular pokemon in Japan period. Every single time they do a poll there, it tops the charts.

It also succeeded at this with remarkably little shilling, having only belonged to one subplot in its debut movie and was barely promoted beforehand.

>>58365240 (OP)
If Heatran and Darkrai are not in regularly at least, I'll be disappointed. It would suck if it were like gen 2, 4, 5 and 6 starters being excluded from Galar.

>>58365359
There was this form Heatran took when it swallowed a Flame Plate in the anime

>>58365244
Zeraora and Darkrai are kind of cool
Heatran is reddit shit however

>>58365373
God no please, thats like babies first RPG boss slime down to a T.

>>58365366
Yellow fur really is a hook in humans eh, wait Lillie technically has yellow colored fur too and is also a hit hmm

>>58365337
They tried with cinderace too and still failed

>>58365371
Darkrai would have to be in normally because he was a complete time locked exclusive in DP remakes because fuck you, and needed a DP remake savefile to catch in Arceus.

>>58365366
zeraora's supposed popularity has always felt astroturfed to me. it simply doesn't get enough porn to be genuine.

>>58365240 (OP)
>one cool mon gets a mega
>two lame mons with potential get a mega that may make them nice
Nice

Are you ready for Primal Groudon Jr?

>>58365240 (OP)
Lava pluming right now

>>58365240 (OP)
finally some love for my nigga darkrai
hope he gets an ability that boosts his accuracy significantly somehow

>>58365460
That's because Zeraora's popularity comes from little kids.

It would be weird if Darkrai gets a Mega but Cresselia doesn't

>>58365775
Not really, they have always been in an asymetrical relationship given Cresselia is a mere legendary pokemon while Darkrai is a mythical

with how they've been doing megas this game, probably gonna be some bs darkrai having legs outside the movie now

>>58365366
damn Japan really does have the worst taste ever

why not volcanion and hoopa? why shove in heatran and darkrai in lumiose?

>>58365800
nobody cares about volcanion, not even tpc, even his movie was about magearna instead lol

Heatran is gonna be red Giratina

>>58365821
If Magearna isn't in ZA at all, I'll be very disappointed.

>>58365790
Those are programmed in the games too, anon.

>Darkrai legs
Ragnaros II kek

>>58365350
GF shot themselves in the foot by making Zoroark event exclusive in BW. Even then it's a fairly popular Pokémon

>>58365894
it's probably one of the worst-handled shillmons ever. it had all the ingredients to be more popular than lucario ever was, they had actual gold on their hands and then completely squandered it by making it next to impossible for people to actually get their hands on one for absolutely no good reason.

>>58365240 (OP)
>Mega Heatran
If he's not fat as fuck and goofy as hell, then it's a shit mega.

Those niggas better unfuck dark void come next gen!

So, are they in the base game or planned for the DLC?

>>58365240 (OP)
>Mfw Mega Heatran gets Earth Eater

>>58366102
There's no mention of raichuite in the files... doesn't really answer your question but it's evidence I guess.

>>58365317
He's literally the most popular mythical. He's a martial artist kitty and the film he was designed for is the highest rated pokemon movie.

>>58366112
>Mega Darkrai gets Compound Eyes + Bad Dreams

>>58366126
>Unseen Fist Mega Zeraora

SINOOOOOOOOOH

>>58366182
uh one third of those are from the alola region buddy

>>58366182
Only a single gen 4 poke was getting a mega before this, I'm personally disappointed they're legendary, but if anything we need more sinnoh.

At least toss in a mega carnivine or spiritomb.

>>58366182
>cucked in plass in starters, hisui formes, ride pokemon, noble fights, etc

>>58365606
It kinda looks like he's saying 'Hide'

>>58365240 (OP)
Assuming these are events for having previous Switch games. Heatran/Darkrai if you have BDSP/PLA. Zeraora if you have SwSh or SV?

>>58366224
Probably SwSh because it was actually in that game and it's when they distributed Shiny Zeraora.

>>58365366
>Zeraora is proven to be the second most popular mythical worldwide
obviously i don't know everyone worldwide but i have not once ever seen an honest to god zeraora fan. not even from furfags either even they don't gaf about zeraora

>>58366274
I like it. It's cute, strong and was fun in theovie.

>>58365317
>>58365337
>>58365341
Zeraora is part of the shillmon squad.
Expect Mega Cindersce at some point later down the line with the rest of the furry convention

>>58366280
lol shitrace thinks he's part of the team

>>58366274
Normies loves it, it doesn't seems that popular because it has garbage availability in the games. It is actually way more popular than Heatran and even Darkrai.

/trash/

>>58365240 (OP)
Hopefully Zeraora's mega will be electric/fighting like it should have been from the start, would also be fun if Darkrai's mega form has it's legs from the movie

>>58366024
You dumbfuck the Riolu egg is in DP too you fake fan, get off my board secondary.

>>58365366
The only person I ever heard that enjoys zeraora is a millennial Chinese woman who works at our local wok that doesn't stop talking about pokemon even as you only want to eat your rice.

If that place didn't have one of the best rice in town I wouldn't even bother being there, it makes me dread to have to get into conversation about the new game if I want to eat some good shrimp rice next week.

Maybe something about being Chinese is the hack to liking stuff like stitch and zeraora because I don't seem to understand their appeal.

>>58365460
>>58366274
>>58366544
Mad as fuck
Common Zeraora win

>>58366139
Good ,fuck VGC.
Give it intimidating unseen fists of inner focus for all I care, mind you not intimidating fists of scrappy because that would be bullshit in singles too.

Holy shit I forgot Zeraora was a thing, what a failure of a shillmon

>>58366551
I wish I was joking, no one I ever knew that played or still plays pokemon likes this asshole.
We have it for the dex, we tried to use it in our battle leagues but I don't think I ever found someone that likes it let alone HS it a it's favorite, other than again a single Chinese woman with poor situational awareness.

>>58366139
>>58366556
Zeraora gimmick is giving his partner electric type moves with plasma fits. Volt absorb is better so you can spam boomburst

>>58366557
Seething lmao
>>58366567
Well now they have another chance to like him

>>58366571
I know that would be better for zeraora, I just want to see Doubles as a format suffer with a mix of Incineroar Unseen fist and Intimidate resistance.

The ability to ignore flinch, protect and intimidate would be a chance at guaranteed success and a very "healthy meta" for the people that play it.

>B-But the trailer said
>B-But my headcanon was
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

Why does GF hate Cresselia?

>>58365240 (OP)
Who asks for Mega Zenora?
All four Zenora fans in the world?

>>58366673
Bulky Megas are really hard is my guess
Only Mega Slowbro worked out iirc

>>58366710
Pippa and the other 3 guys will be happy.

Mega Luxray when

>>58366666
That's a lot of 6.
>>58366732
Technically Mega latinas and Ttar, Metagross and salamence count as bulky given how ludicrous their uninvested bulk is.

>>58366739
I guess you could make an offensive Mega Cress for the meme too
Bump Sp Atk to 150 and you still can buff it to be bulkier than its pre-nerf version

>>58365366
It’s one of the few Mythicals that doesn’t feel like a gimmick. No floating, no weird lore dump. just a beast that shows up and wrecks. Respect.

>>58366673
They don't hate her, they just don't understand balancing and hate that she's been a staple of doubles since she was made.

>>58365790
retard

i understand why people hate zeraora in general, but how can you hate its shiny? it looks good

>>58366666

THE RATATOSKR PROPHECY WILL BECOME TRUE
HAIL ZERAORA THE SQUIRREL

>>58366859
What shape is it supposed to be? &? w? a greek letter?

>>58365240 (OP)
we already knew zeroara was happening and is super popular in japan but heatran and darkrai seem random, maybe they could be sava data bonuses from bdsp and pla
darkrai has potential for a cool mega

>>58366913
XY gave us Volcanion. There is something with Gen 6 and volcanoes that GF loves

>>58366274
>not even from furfags
lol

>>58366928
Volcanion's a steam engine though. Seriously, how'd you confuse it with volcanic action?

Why everytime Zeraora is mentioned in this board there are several revisionists trying to say that it isn't popular? Every. Single. Time.
It always was and still is, even outside of Japan, even if its far below Lucario which is the 2nd ultimate shillmon behing Greninja.

Next year is the 20th for DaiPa, and the 10th for SunMoon.
Hopefully Darkrai would be something cool, better than Origin form Dialga/Palkia...

>>58366998
probably because it's mostly popular with the younger primarily anime watcher demographic which we don't interact with, in 5-10 years when the sun and moon kiddies are all grown up we'll probably see a lot more zeroara fans crop up here

>>58366989
Because of the name, that comes from volcano, and the fact that hot springs are related to volcanic activity? Are you stupid?

>>58366998
/VP/ has been coping about Zeraora since it was revealed. They can't accept bipedal mons being popular

>>58367093
Are you? I mean, in actuality or did you just not own one, thus didn't actually understand the connection, so took its name at face value?

>>58366880
A second Z

>>58366998
It's because no one I ever known likes it.

I can understand they are fans but I just never ever talked with someone that likes it, not in forums, not in events, not in tourneys, any where there's nobody who is a fan of it.

As one anon says it must be an age thing, I don't play the TCG and most of my acquaintances are oldfags, only explanation is that I became old, young people have no taste or invisible millennials without social media presence like it somehow.

For crying out loud even a no standards furry I used to go to college with hates it because of the mustache so I can't even say there's an obscure furry fanbase all about it.

>>58367118
Do you not understand pokemons are usually based on many different concepts? Your own picture talks about Japanese folklore.
The volcano is the one forming in your head lol

>y-you made
Nah, I didn't spend the last 12 years as an ignorant cunt, so don't actually feel shame I need to process like you bitch.

>>58366739
yo someone call shadow this dude know where the mega latinas are at.

>>58367383
you are both underaged and a nigger

>>58367139
>because of the mustache

How fucking stupid do you have to be to not know those are whiskers. Like a cat. Which it is.

>>58366280
God that would be Based a Mega Cinderace would make faggots on here seethe kek

>>58367406
You'd be surprised people hate that about zeraora and thievul.

Bloody thievul is just a fox and somehow that's controversial.

>>58367472
For thievul it's probably because Nickit is a lot cuter, there's probably people who used Nickit because it was cute only for it to evolve into a monster they didn't want on their team lol.

>>58367472
I can't say I remember noticing it before but looking at it now Thievul's whiskers are very obviously meant to be evoking Snidely Whiplash or similar archetypes. Zeraora's doesn't strike me as a moustache at all

test

hope you guys got your shiny zeraora ready

>>58367401
buddy its the internet, its not that serious.
learning to have fun when you can is a important skill in life.

>>58366280
Got to give Cinderace one now to complete the twink squad all having Megas

Mega Heatran should have Earth Eater

>>58367513
It's because Nickit is an
Eastern-influenced fox and Thievul's a western-inspired one. Nips love Nickit, hate Thievul. The west are devoid of independent thought, so love Nickit, hate Thievul, because monkey see, monkey do.

>>58368753
you will never be japanese

Mega Heatran is gonna be so powerful

>>58365337
>nobody thinks about it
Only furries to
But even then I don't think they even play pokemon games besides mystery dungeon

>>58366998
because i've literally never interacted with anyone that said anything positive about zeraora in any capacity. not once in all my time spent here and in other pokemon communities have i seen anyone even imply that they like zeraora. not even in the pokemon porn circles i frequent does anyone even deign to mention it. talk to a furry, ask him which pokemon he likes, and you get an answer like "oh, i like zoroark, lucario, meowscarada..." but zeraora is just absent every time.
so when people say it's one of the most popular pokemon, all i can do is scratch my head. nothing about it feels genuine. if it's so popular, where's the fanbase?

>>58368826
Not trying to be. But that doesn't mean I need to be oblivious to the reasons to reactions I think both are class but Japs are bigoted retards and westerners are the aforementioned monkey retards copying so of course overall reception is going to differ to my feelings about them.

>>58369063
>Japs are bigoted
based

>>58368861
I'm not a furry and I love Zeraora

>>58368901
Mostly kids and Japanese. Plus there are some furries and comp players that like it too. I personally like it because of the movie.

>>58366280
>>58365343
Nipnogs are retarded cucksoomers who would eat literal pokemon crap if TPC sold it to them in their favorite pokemon species coloring, I really cannot understate that they are even worse than western consoomers

>>58366998
Literally only japanesefags like it and that poll was recency bias at the time

>>58369454
>recency bias
That poll was done in 2020 for the 20th Anniversary. Zeraora itself was roughly 3 years old at that point, the Power of US was 2 years old, and SwSh had JUST came out.
