Opinions?

Looks fake

>>58388907 (OP)
That’s gonna be a hard pass from me dawg

>>58388907 (OP)
Is this a reference to the Gold and Silver game titles?

>>58388907 (OP)
Meh

>>58388907 (OP)
its like someone went of their way to make it unappealing

>>58388920
It's real

>>58388907 (OP)
looks like shit

literally just threw the yellow paint of streamer retardation on it

>>58388907 (OP)
it looks like shit

>>58388907 (OP)
lazy but not bad, solid 6.9/10

>>58388907 (OP)
The shiny version should make its eyes green and the grey parts slightly brighter

>>58388907 (OP)
Looks awesome

>>58388952
I need to see it animated/walking this so dumb

>>58388952
those fucking claws are nasty

>>58388907 (OP)
Looks a bit odd since the shiny shader isnt enabled in this model rip here.
>>58388952
Makes a lot more sense here.

Somehow I expected something else...

it's alright

>>58388907 (OP)
>>58388952
>fake shit
cringe kys

>>58389016
It's alright bro, my favorite got a shit mega too

>>58388942
That's basically modern Gam Freak's whole design philosophy. Nothing can just be sincerely cool or cute or weird, it MUST have a completely ridiculous feature like elongated body parts or silly facial hair.

>>58388907 (OP)
Did it really need those stupid feet? Its fine otherwise

my opinion is irrelevant

reddit will love it

>>58388907 (OP)
Okay, I think it’s off my team now lol

>>58388907 (OP)
KINO

Kinda lazy and lame. I love the gold though.

>>58388907 (OP)
Lame

>>58389048
Im thinking it will make more sense when flying in battle, like it will be more like Mega Beedrill's stinger and the talons are sorta forward facing in flight.

>>58388907 (OP)
skarmbros... we were so close...

>>58389073
>gold
I don’t see any gold. He’s just yellow.

>>58388907 (OP)
>>58388952
WHY. I WANTED IT TO BE COOL SO BAD. JUST THIS ONE AND I COULDNT HAVE IT. IT JUST HAD TO GET LOOOONGEDDDD. im so done with this shit.

>>58388907 (OP)
needed bigger wings

>>58389058
>reddit will love it
Reddit would love a literal plate full or shit

>>58389097
>>58389083
sorry, get meme'd
mega skarmory is a meme now! :DD he's the newest meme everyone, better start memeing him up! ;)

>>58388952
I unironically think the big fuck off gold talons are cool. It even mirrors some species of bird irl. Why are people calling it a meme?

>>58389094
The same gold as seen on the flag of Germany

>>58389120
Skarmory was always a silly Pokémon anyway

I like the colors. I don't know what to think about the feet. Need to see in motion.

>>58388907 (OP)
I'm amazed they managed to somehow fuck up golden Skarmory. They truly are incapable of designing anything good now. How do you manage to be so bad that you fuck up a pallette swap?

The color black looks ugly, the MASSIVE feet ruin it.

>>58388907 (OP)
Wings too small

Looks primal. Maybe it’s molting so it trades its defense for attack going by its stats? Atleast that what it looks like to me.

>>58388907 (OP)
Why is it piss yellow?

>>58388907 (OP)
Wings are too stubby, makes its feet look ridiculous

Now that I'm seeing it, I think it looks pretty cool.

>>58388907 (OP)
doesn't change much

>>58388907 (OP)
Dude.
Weed.
Lmao.

>>58389263
banana peel

>>58389263
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL

>>58388907 (OP)
BANANA BIRD

>>58389263
Is this a grass type with banana fingers?

>>58389048
Cry more talonfag.

>>58389263
Bruh look at this dood

>>58389263
you’re all missing the point
Mega Skarmory is a champion skier with those feet

>>58389263
I am disappointed

>>58388907 (OP)
>>58389263
This... this is just a yellow skarmory with longer talons

>>58389263
Someone high up at GF has a humiliation fetish. There can't be any other explanation for this level of incompetence.

>>58389263
I-It's a trophy or something! it's growing on me!

>>58388931
Why would a hoenn pokemon be a reference to gold and silver

Steelbros score another point

>>58389263
The Beast

How the FUCK does it walk though? I can't imagine someone being able to walk with toes longer than your average clown shoes.

>>58389388
It flies

>>58389356
DAMN!!!!!!!!

>>58389263
>his feet are green in the shiny
shit’s going to look ridiculous

>>58388931
Yeah, just like shiny Mega Metagross

>>58389423
ONLY THE FEET?!

>>58389263
HUMILIATION RITUAL

>>58388907 (OP)
you can tell the drastic color change was done because if they hadn't, this thing would have felt way too similar to base skarmory

fellow johtobros i'm about to fucking crash out

unfortunately its real, just showed up on the leak guys stream

>>58389335
Closes thing I can think of

>>58389482
That looks better though?
Still stupid but the knowledge of the reality we have now - it looks better

yeah niggas I somehow stuck with this dogshit franchise through dexit and SV being trash but seeing Skarmory done dirty like this is it. Fuck these jap kikes. Pokemon is dead.

>>58389263
HAHAHA IT'S A MEME NOW! GET IT? I RUINED ANOTHER ONE! IT'S A CLOWN WITH CLOWN SHOES NOW GET IT? IT'S SUCH A QUIRKY GOOFY SILLY GUY NOW! WHY? FUCK YOU! THAT'S WHY! GET IT YET? RAUGH RAUGH RAUGH! MOTHER FUCKER! HAHAHA

I love it.

>>58389522
I mean I agree, the gold looks way too saturated, but keeping the base silver makes it more blatantly obvious that it's just skarmory with big feet

unfortunately real. leaker stream confirms

>>58389539
You are part of the problem. You are a slop eater.

>>58389525
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU SEE THERE WAS THIS ONE IMAGE WHERE SKARMORY HAD A SILLY FACE THAT MEANS IT WAS ALWAYS A SILLYMON INTENDED SPECIFICALLY FOR SILLY PEOPLE THAT LIKE CLOWN SHOES AND IF YOU LIKED IT FOR NON SILLY REASONS YOU WERE A FAKE FAN

>>58389542
The shiny IS silver

>>58388907 (OP)
>>58389058
>>58389071
>>58389263
>>58389356

>>58389554WHY IS IT FLYING HEADFIRST?!
ISNT THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS RETARDED DESIGN THE CLAWS?!
YOUD WANT THOSE EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS FACING AHEAD OF YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!

>>58389525
What is this autistic behavior

>>58389576
yeah, but the shiny isn't going to be seen by the average player and slapped on advertising and merch

>>58389554
I kinda like it when he’s flying

>>58389263
>so, gold skarmory? like, what color of gold do you want? maybe like a rich, burnished gold, or a pale gold...
>piss yellow
>what?
>piss yellow gold. saturation cranked to 100.
>are you sure that will look good?
>giant feet
>huh?
>you heard me, piss yellow with giant feet. now throw this banana peel away for me, i don't feel like getting up

>>58389523
Megas were always ugly shit, you should have been expecting this

>>58389586
It’s obvious meant to depict something from the side angle, I’m not sure what yet though.>>58389263

Maybe a toy or a ship of some
Kind. It’s dex entry might make it more
Clear

>>58389621
The world's most aerodynamic butt plug

>>58389554
anything i see of this is just a terrible spectacle to behold. what the absolute fuck is this. i just love birds man... he didnt deserve this.

>>58389263
Corviknight is responsible for this, I just know it. It will pay for what it did to you Skarmory.

>>58389591
hes speaking the truth

This game is NOT kind to birdfags

>it just gets yellow

Worst mega after Feraligator

>>58389621
It being a reference isn’t going to make it look any better, anon.

can't wait for the autists to make big strawman images about how it's the best possible execution of mega skarmory because no one expected it to have its subtle themes explored by being turned piss yellow with clown shoes

>>58389586
Anon there is not a single bird species on earth that flies talons-first when trying to maneuver, they do that shit priming to strike (usually at prey). If it'll do it it'll be part of an attack animation

>>58389263
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

>>58389724
Yeah thought about it, it feels like they where going for the talons be an aerodynamic/wind cutting design
Something like - it increasing/reducing drag at will by spreading its feet
OH NO...
ITS GROWING ON ME!!!

Just when you thought GF couldn't phone things in harder than they have been the past few years.

The actual answer is that, ever since X and Y, the Pokemon models just really suck to look at.
The designs themselves are usually always pretty serviceable when it comes to anything but the games themselves due to how bad GF are at 3D modeling.

>>58388907 (OP)
>set up spikes in base form
>mega into the offensive form and sweep

GGs

>>58389924
GameFreak doesn't do the Pokemon models

>>58389263
I wonder what are those?

>>58389924
Models and animations are done by Creatures Inc., the same company that's been doing them since the beginning

honestly feels like they made designs around themes and gimmicks only understandable to them

>>58389939
>>58389956
The point still remains; the models have consistently been atrocious and lacking in life, so designs are usually propped up more when other depictions become available.
Official 2D Art, Pokemon Card Art, Fan Art, etc.

>finally getting a leg up over corviknight only to fumble at finish line with the goofy feet
>might be all for nothing anyways as corviknight is in the dlc and might be getting its own mega too
its so over

IT's so fucking bad

>>58390024
If you look at the color of the new mega stones like Scrafty or Skarmory, you will see they dont resemble the base pokemon at all

>>58389263
oh no

>>58388907 (OP)
I think it'll look much better in the air. Hopefully, mega Skarm takes off after mega evolution

>>58390211

Aspies in shambles

>>58390251
>>58390043
The flying looks rough at first, but then you realize it it looks better that the original since it no longer looks like it's being held up by strings.

>>58389888
MisanthropicGOD is right

>>58390043
It looks like it can "close" its talons so I edited the image to see what that would look like, honestly looks a little better now.

>>58390398
What do its attack animations look like?

I like it because its what makes it memorable.

>>58388907 (OP)
horrible

>>58389263
Humiliation ritual

>>58389670
It already got humiliated in SV, hunted by Tinkatroon(75 attack)
