Thread 58416772

Wheoever came up with this design needs to be fired.

>>58416772 (OP)
Pretty good one tho. Not overdesigned digimon spiky shit

>>58416772 (OP)
Why are all the new gen 1-2 mega memes?

>>58416776
Opinion rejected.
Try a different thread, bitch.

Gay baby arms

>>58416779
Because modern Pokemon designs are made primarily to trend on social media.

can't wait to see how awesome this guy looks when pokemon goes 3d

>>58416776
It’s people like you that is causing the downfall of Pokémon designs. If anything we need more edgy and spiky shit

>>58416772 (OP)
Look at that disgusting shit, Typhlosion won. Hahahaha toiletligatr

>>58416772 (OP)
literally what is the thought process here

seeing the jaw shell thing closed, i get what they were going for. but the idea itself is fucking stupid on a fundamental level

there were people that were waiting 11 years for megas to come back an this is what they got

>>58416944
My honest opinion? Bringing Totodile's theme onto Feraligatr, simply to break the mold from the "just make it more baddass" theme they had going with the rest.

My second hunch ties with it now being Dragon type. They're going to give it Dragon's Maw as ability.

>>58416772 (OP)
Yep, I still fucking hate, sorry shillfags this one is not growing on me

>>58416772 (OP)
All this tells me is that Game Freak thinks Feraligatr is so shit they reverted it back to Totodile

People will stop laughing when the ability is really confirmed to be Dragon's Maw and they give him Draco Meteor.

>>58416779
This franchise has almost completely been reduced to "memes and porn" since Gen 8 at least.

>>58416779
Meganium was spared

>>58416779
The people who started with the first two gens and still stuck with the franchise afterwards all grew up into the exact people the quirk chungus meme is mocking and they eat this shit up.

>>58416993
Meganium's actually a big improvement over the original.

>>58417024
Hard disagree, you can't improve on perfection.
But it's absolutely an acceptable mega.

>>58416972
If anything, it's confirmation Feraligatr's reception in icy-cold in Japan.
You know, as if they way they'd treated it back in Gen 2 hadn't already told everyone what the actual story was.

>>58417030
Good opinion. Meganiums great as is. Mega didnt need to go fucking weird (like Feraligatr), just amp its main design angle up a bit, and it did just that.

>>58416989
>all i'm interested in is memes and porn, because pokémon won't recognise me as a worthwhile consumer
And that's of course ignoring memes were endemic to the series from Gen 1 (farfetch'd is literally a mememon based off a Japanese proverb) and they didn't exactly shy away from creating titillating characters, male and female, human and pokémon back then either. only thing that changed is you grew up, expecting Pokémon to do so with you, then got mad and started throwing bitchfits everywhere, because you're too emotionally stunted to process emotion properly.

>>58416985
At this point I'm convinced this is part of Game Freak's strategy
>Design ugly as fuck lazy shitmon
>Make it absolutely broken in combat
>People get Stockholm syndromed into "liking" it just because it's fucking impossible to avoid it even if you don't use it yourself
>Game Freak uses this "popularity" to justify shitting out even more ugly as fuck lazy shitmons

>>58417048
Will say I wish Feraligatr got the same treatment

>>58416989
Its been like this since Gen 7

>>58416776
edgetrannies really didn’t like this post

fpbp

>>58417017
Oldfag genwunner here, megas were unneeded. But you kids ate them up, so here we are. Feraligatr was always ignored by the only fanbase that counts also and the fact they didn't evolve Ash's in the anime because Totodile was FAR more popular with Japanese children than Feraligatr STILL holds true today, as evidenced by them reverting it to base stage out of ALL the mega starter forms. Western kids obsessed enough with the IP enough to gather on niche websites to talk about all things Pokémon can't comprehend this, but it's why M-Totodile is a thing, instead of M-Feraligatr.

>>58417050
>And that's of course ignoring memes were endemic to the series from Gen 1 (farfetch'd is literally a mememon based off a Japanese proverb)
The fact that you thought this was a good gotcha is fucking hilarious, trying to act as though old cultural proverbs are the same thing as fucking "I can haz cheezburgr" tier shitposts is Olympic level mental gymnastics.

>>58417058
Kid, if it was popular with the public instead of just you sad cunts, not only would they not have given it that exact mega design, they'd have evolved Ash's Totodile in Gen 2. I mean, they broke their arses to evolve Ash's Charmander to Charizard AND scare off Squirtle and Bulbasaur from evolving, because early popularity polls had told them exactly that - kid's loved 'Zard, Bulbasuar and Squirtle, but not Blastoise or Venusaur (hence why they traumaed the pair on the island of giant pokémon, to avoid needing to consider them for evolution).

>>58417137
>"I can haz cheezburgr"

>>58417137
>"n-no, you don't get it, i wasn't alive for THOSE memes, so they're not cringe like the ones the kids use"
So you're a hypocritical child, gets better.

>>58416776
There are hardly any digimon tier designs in Pokemon

>>58417191
Mega Chesnaugh reminds me of Galantmon. I kind of want him to have a great ability (it will probably be a terrain one) cuz I want to use and see him in competitions.

This one's fuckign easy to guess. It's Intimidation.

>>58417240
>Gallantmon when Vikemon exists
Both even have crowns, shoulder shields and morning star weapons

>>58417113
yep. we got Mega Totodile because of polling, which has likely always showed that Totodile is massively more popular, hence why he didn't evolve in the anime.

>>58417310
It was the prototype everstonemon, they just didn't bother justifying it with an everstone held item.

>>58416776
It's literally a Digimon toy gimmick

>>58416772 (OP)
why there is no video of this abomination in motion, there were screenshots of it in battle, the game is already leaked completely but nowhere to see this

>>58417749
Probably because those that do that kind of shit for online attention knew better than to use it for their online attention-seeking?

>>58417772
but we are already past the moment when there were 5 faggots with the game, the whole game is spoiled and people already shitpost with the game

>>58417733
>zoomer retard thinks digimon is the first to do that toy gimmick

>>58417791
Yeah. Which is why they're staying away from the joke of a thing. Just because (You) like it, doesn't mean the world gives a fuck, hence why no-one's posting jack shit of it.

>>58416798
Why did they change him to a baby blue colour?

>>58416772 (OP)
Yes, but I also expected Mega Froslass. What a piece of shit that one is.

>>58417254
I can’t believe the Mega made me like Emboar

Well the good news is that regardless of how big a piece of shit this design is, the fact more Pokemon are getting a second Mega years later means there’s an unlikely, but not totally zero, chance another Mega Feraligatr could come…eventually

Cry harder, feraligatr was hated from the beginning

>>58417113
This is a retarded take, we would’ve seen Venusaur get the same treatment considering the popularity disparity is even greater.

>>58417254
I can't believe the Mega made me hate embort

>>58418099
I’m not falling for this copium. I’m going to grit my teeth and fucking bear the design. Somehow.

>>58416772 (OP)
Wait til you see pyroar's mega, its worse

>>58418149
It’s not worse, it’s just lazy. It’s bad, but not offensive like Feraligatr.

>>58418172
And Starmie's mega is just an Earthbound reference literally does the pose and everythimg

>>58418126
They DO look like horseshit, or are you just pulling the "ignorant 'tard" card here? The difference is there was also Charizard added alongside, so people coped by them being added with it. Feraligatr has no such bonus, it's getting the pure unfiltered reaction to its historic reception. And its historic reception was not the blanket drone reception like edgy fuckers on the internet assume, because (They) feel that way.

>>58417749
Would this do?

>>58418335
Mega Venusaur got turned into a giant deformed Bulbasaur clone? Wow, why don’t you post it? Dumbfuck apologist.

>>58417733
You have no Idea how Insulted I am by this comment

He does a slap to close the mouth, not even raise the arms from below, so it's not a biting motion at all, it doesn't look powerful

>>58418508

>>58418508

>>58417058
Name 3

>>58416776
We’re getting secondary megas for Absol/Lucario/Garchomp, and megas for Darkrai/Golisopod/Zeraora. Whichever of these get the coolest and edgiest designs will be the most favored by the fans, and I can’t wait to see how you quirk chungusfags will cope.

>>58418508
Ironically just putting the red spikes also on the skull would have made it cooler

>>58416772 (OP)
Did they fire the nonce who ruined a Pokémon by using it for his rape fic and reducing it to pedophilia joke?. If not, then why is this worth a firing?

>>58418508
They saw people laughing at the Freak leaks and came to the logical conclusion that Pokémon fans like it when popular Pokemon get ruined with digusting and demeaning jokes
Sorry to the few sane Gatr fans out there, but game freak was just reading the room. It’s out of my hands.

>>58416776
"Overdesigned" is a buzzword I detest, but if anything qualifies for it, it's this disaster that's trying to be a Totodile and a Feraligatr in a helmet at the same time. The way they have to contort the model to make it remotely work tells me they didn't even bother trying to draw this in 2D first. It doesn't even look good in motion. It's just a mess.

>>58418969
They saw the uptick of porn the Teraleak and all its lore-related grubbyiness inspired you mean. And they ALWAYS knew Japan detested Feraligatr, which is why they never bothered TRYING to push it in Gen 2. Small wonder, when it came to brass tacks, instead of throwing good money after bad, they pivoted to making Feraligatr more like its cutsey, more-popular previous form (the same way they made M-Raichu actually M-Pikachu to make people give a fuck about USING Raichu).

>>58419012
overdesigned means an abundance of details with no aim or purpose besides filling space on the design. All you described were details you didn't like about it.

I mean I get it, Totodile is cute and they wanted to make the Mega Totodile again, but it's a weird design.

I don't even hate it, but it's just weird.

>>58418969
Nah, legends za was pretty much done by the time the teraleak dropped, what actually happened is that gamefreak realized pokefags would eat up any slop thrown at them, just see how some people defend the new shitty megas by saying it's funny or it's a reference to something so they're good

>>58416772 (OP)
>>58418508
The thing that pisses me off is that the idea is fine. It's a cute simple concept and easy to pull off. So how in god's name did they fuck it up so god damn hard?
Why did we need to violently stretch the arms when Totodile doesn't even have a head that big? Just scale it down. Why does the maw have to awkwardly stick up in the air instead of just being a cool hood, or draping over its back like a cape? Why not split it in two to make draconic wings? If they're gonna randomly make the arms and spikes transform then what's the problem with giving the maw some dynamic properties instead of leaving it a static hangnail?
It's just such a lazy execution of something that otherwise would have been a fan favourite.

>>58418550
Magearna exists anon

>>58419185
>Totodile is cute and they wanted to make the Mega Totodile again,
Thats the entire problem. Dragonair fans didn't get a mega dragonite that was just dragonair because it's a mega "dragonite". Dnite instead got tasteful dragonair attributes which is good. Making Gatrs mega like this was a flawed concept in the first place. They should've just stuck with the skull head and make it's arm red or something to form the jaw instead of forcing it to look like totodile

>>58416772 (OP)
that looks good, the problem is it barely stays that way. 99% of the time its just Feraligatr with red shit attached to it

>>58419239
>Mega Dnite
>tasteful
>good
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>58416772 (OP)
This never would've happened under Masuda

>>58419239
Mega Dragonite looks like shit you shmuck. But that’s because they half-assed the Dragonair implementation. It just ends up looking oddly proportioned with weird wings glued to its head.

>>58416772 (OP)
Would've looked better if they made it look more like Druddigon or better yet made Mega Druddigon with this concept instead.

>>58416772 (OP)
>>58418508
Ok I don't like it. The good news about this Is that I can move on of Fetaligatr at long last so I don't use two water types in Johto games NEVER EVER

>>58418550
Come to think of it, this mega is probably going to translate horribly into toy form.

>>58416772 (OP)
>>58418508
Good concept, poor execution

>>58416772 (OP)
My first thought every time a new mega gets revealed. Whoever is designing pokemon now is legit retarded.

This franchise is a sunk cost. We need to let it go.

>>58421141
This.

The real show will come with next gen and champions. They’re already leaking that they were planning an MMO for 2030. What I think will happen
>champions comes out and is well received, everyone transferring Pokémon to it, having a sort of “Home” battle simulator
>next gen gets announced, Nintendo forces them to make it a Switch 2 exclusive because no one is buying their brickable piece of shit hardware, to try and boost sales
>they will tease 3 shitty starters that no one likes
>they will tease some other gimmick that sounds cool but questionable
>everyone will wait for the game to come out, and it will be shit (inb4 tomorrow)
>anyone without a switch 2 or who likes battles will stay on Champions, and the culture will shift back to champions pretty quickly, the VGC will still be in champions
>they’ll announce another legends game that will just be open world ZA, and won’t move any more consoles
>after that Champions will have mogged 2 games in a row and will be their default game until 2030-2031 or later when they can get their shit together and make an actual World of Warcraft esque MMORPG where sought after Pokémon will be world a real world value of thousands of dollars.

So... like trying to cram two Pokemon and a helmet gimmick into one design? Oh, but it's the new official product from Game Freak, so it's exempt from the buzzwords. I forgot.

>>58421270
>women hailed as equals to men in Gen 1
>token white guy to sell to burgerstan
>"reee, it am woked nao"
Nah, it always was (kids being free to piss about an entire region with no fear or danger of being abducted, enslaved, abused, rape or murdered, indicating the WORST faults of humanity straight up don't exist, except in mental deficients and petty thieves). And (You) supported its DEI-tinted worldview, because "piggerchu hurr!". You played yourself there, should have thought about a future where chuds like you were actually against supporting movements like that while supporting them as kids.

>>58422265
>So... like trying to cram two Pokemon and a helmet gimmick into one design
No. If the changes were made with a clear, tangible purpose (convey 10x stronger biteforce, add in Totodile imagery) then the aspects they added in that aim can't be overdesign UNLESS also surrounded by superfluous details that muddy said aim, which they clearly don't in this case. You can think a design is sloppy or messy, but overdesigned has an actual meaning divorced from those descriptors even if they often go hand in hand. I REALLY don't care if you think the execution was unrepentant dogshit, just use the right words to describe it as such

>>58417733
i could actually forgive the stupid fucking gimmick if there was a realistic chance that McDonalds did happy meal Mega Feraligatr toys but that is literally never going to happen

So… it’s overdesigned. Got it.

>>58418969
>They saw people laughing at the Freak leaks and came to the logical conclusion that Pokémon fans like it when popular Pokemon get ruined with digusting and demeaning jokes
actually it started in gen 7 when they got popular social media feedback over mememons like alolan exeggutor which was a response to yokai watch being all fucking ugly jokes, except yokai watch crashed and burned and we're still stuck with the "make it look like shit on purpose" theory of design

It would be far better if it weren't just sticking straight up like that. Like many have said, it should've been like a helmet or a hoodie.
