WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HER IN THESE 5 YEARS???? WHY IS SHE SO UGLY NOW?

>>58425597 (OP)
What makes you think it's even the same person? You know more than one people can share name in a whole country right?

>>58425607
Shes the same trainer class too, seems a bit specific to not be the same person

Just to reinforce that its the same person and just a coincidence, shes one of the ones from the gym that they even used in the anime so shes an actual character of note and not a totally throwaway NPC
The japanese name is Kirika but it was localised as Kali

>>58425788

Have you taken a look at how the player models got changed in Pokemon Go? It's on you anon

>>58425923
>>58425949
What's this then?

>>58425977
>no no no you see my cashier is muslim and I have an ukrainian living next door, that's the reason the 3d models look like this!
Seek help.

>>58425597 (OP)
Brought to you from the same people who went out of their way to do this to a game that came out in 2016

>>58425597 (OP)
She hit the wall.

>>58426017
What schizo nonsense arguments are you making up in your head, imagine defending this, changing a character model from a game that came out in 2016 to pander to retarded limp wristed faggots and trannies on the internet, nobody likes you, disingenuous faggots

>>58426017
Imagine not being able to criticize the uglification of women in games because you saw a right-winger complaining about illegal immigrants, which btw nobody brought up here

It's one thing to be ugly as shit, and another to not even look like the same person.

Show us the other three.

>>58425977
>>58426020
The funniest part about this whole Pokemon GO shit is that it proved that most women like to be seen as pretty. So making the models fat and ugly literally benefited no one

Pic on tinder vs in real life

>>58426039
>"schizo nonsense"
>posts schizo nonsense himself
Projecting much?

>>58426067
That was always the case, imagine if you told some woman she was just as pretty as Mary Jane in the SpiderMan 2 game lmao

>>58426058
Nobody has found the other three yet

>>58426092
Most normies are aware of you retarded trannies and they are sick of your shit, this isn't 2014 anymore, you are seen now

Wome owe me to be pretty

>>58426122

>calling me a tranny now
More schizo nonsense won't change the fact you don't have an argument here, take your meds before posting again.

>>58426102
kek

>>58426067
But I thought this was le evil DEI womyn controlling the media???

>>58426131
What argument? You assume everyone wants to debate you or something bro, I just posted a picture showing how Pokemon Go changed the designs before for DEI reasons and you start talking about right wingers and immigrants, oh no, someone called you a faggots and a tranny on 4chan, stop the presses, that's unheard of, you know, I just did that to make fun of you, but seeing how hung up you are on It still, I'm starting to think that you might actually be tranny, in which case, please dial 8

>>58426146
This can't be real lmao

>>58425977
Lazyness, other games with body sliders can make cute skinny characters but GO didn't wanna bother putting in the effort to make sure clothes fit proper

>>58425597 (OP)
She's not a major character, therefore she gets the SV slop treatment.

>>58426146
NO WAY
LOL

>>58426148
Yeah, but by old ugly Karens that get jealous when they see women younger and more attractive than them, is the wall a foreign concept to you?

>>58425607
Look at the eyes

>>58425597 (OP)
she just got older and gained weight

>>58425607
Is this bait

>>58426172
she has seen things

>>58426161
What are you talking about, they changed character models, it had nothing to do with outfits, they literally did it for "representation"

>>58426146
This just proves the point even further. Despite looking like a whale irl she was still upset when her avatar was changed because it's less cute/pretty

>>58426186
did they ever recover from that?
is pokemon go dead now?

>>58426197
Don't know, I hadn't logged in after that, which is funny, because I started playing the game again before they did that, can't have anything good these days

>>58425597 (OP)
Pokemon human models just look ugly now period post the artstyle shift started in scarlet and violet. I'm surprised how many people changed their minds so quickly to be honest, I remember at scarlet and violets reveal trailer they were getting relentlessly mocked for the almost budget pixar artstyle but that criticism sorta dropped off over time. I suppose its literally the "it'll grow on you" meme but it never grew on me at any point, I still maintain the exact same reaction to it

>>58426206
I'm hoping some day GF goes back to SwSh's art style

>>58426197
didn't niantic got bought by arabs? it's probably a walking corpse now since i havent heard of it for a long time now

>>58426206
It's just shills and bots, companies always do that these days, they even resorted to lying about sales recently, Ubisoft is lied about their Assassin's Creed Shadow's sales, despite the fact that they sold the IP to the Chinese lmao, don't get worn down by lies and gaslighting anon, just stick to your principles

>>58426206
It's not like every character is ugly, the main character/named characters (gym leaders etc) models are all, for the most part, very good. The NPC trainers however are quite hideous. Compare the OP model to Emma's, it's night and day.

>>58425949
You sound like you are having mental breakdown it has already been proven that they push narrative but you play dumb when you get exposed, Like you can look at recent nintendo games they feel very heavily doing this kinda ugly pandering to some weirdo.

So what sort of people like making these character models uglier on purpose if the vast majority of people hate it and will always choose the more pleasing version if given a choice?

>>58426206
They want it to grow on you so they can normalize is. It really doesn't make sense japan pandering to third worlders.

>>58426206
familiarity breeds complacency

>>58426226
These wokies live in a bubble, they still think it's the days of GamerGate where the normies sided with them because they didn't know how deranged and terminally online they actually are, they do not live in reality anymore

>>58426233
No one likes doing it, but it's what brings in money from Larry Fink.

>>58426233
40 year old Karen's and out of touch corporate suits that think this is what's popular these days

Whatever you say mate

What's this then?

>>58426252
We all saw you babble about rightards, immigrants and muslims. You are quite literally everything you are accusing him of.

>>58426256
>"you can look like you" is DEI
So the more customization you add the more DEI your game is in your schizo mind, got it

>>58425597 (OP)
Wokemon!
Gotta DEI em all!

>>58426252
I hope Trump arrests all of you and sends you all to Guantanamo Bay, maybe you'll meet some Hamas and cartel members there, you guys sure like to side with them, I'm sure they'll reward you for that

>>58425597 (OP)
She's a woman. She hit the wall.

>>58426264
did anyone asked for this change though?
i wouldn't want to look like my real self in the game. give me more clothes or more hair options or whatever.

>>58426264
>more customization
It butchered player models m8

>>58425607
>same trainer class
>same name
>same hair and eye color
>character notable enough to be featured in both the anime and the shitty gacha phone game
>"ddduuhhhh gdduhhhh how do you know its da same characutaa???"

>>58426264
Players seemed to be ok with the way they looked before, there's only one group of people that scream that they want to see themselves in every game they play, you can play dumb all you want, player numbers dropped after that and they got bought by Arabs, I hope they buy every woke franchise out there and take a massive shit on your representation lmao

>>58426186
Yes the new models stretched the old outfits so it looked extra shit, with atleast texture adjustments the bodies would've been passable instead of boob shade near navel and daiper groins. Mind you a full model tweak would be preferable but they could've made at least minimum effort

>>58426298
That makes no sense, they model the clothes after the original models, they aren't real clothes, they can't be ill fitting, they shouldn't have changed what was already liked by the players baka

>>58426170
>le wall
Sorry, I'm not an incel

>>58426160
>>58426187
The player cap is stolen from a twitter whale excited about the change and the comment is an intentional gag, how dumb are you to miss that both that and caption are jokes

>>58426309
You may not be familiar with the wall, but he is familiar with you

>>58426307
Yes the clothes texture for old models worked well and those textures got fucked up when draped over a new model since they didn't bother adjusting anything. It would've been possible to make better fitting textures

>>58426268
Your dictator can't touch people from first world countries tho so how is he gonna do anything to me?

>>58426311
In case you didn't read, I already expressed disbelief at it, funny tho, and the model is still shite

>>58426334
Why do the new model then, nobody asked for that, except for 10 people on Xitter

>>58426343
Go to war with your puny countries, but the muslims might conquer you first

>Only incels believe in people getting older

>>58426395
>Larping

>>58425597 (OP)
Is this the same character? Otherwise I can only conclude that GameFreak simply didn't make a different/unique model for her out of the other Furisode Girl trainers even if she and XY Kirika/Kali are the same character.

>>58426348
Most people get excited about the premise of body sliders and more customization (including the suits that will give you more dev money) so at least half of playerbase would've voted yes if it was a poll. No one could've known how disastrous the outcome would be since other games with sliders allows you to make waifus

>>58426430
That's true anon, do you think game devs will stop being lazy bums who only care about optics and politics and go back to being passionate about the games they make, I personally don't have much hope for it right now, all I have to look forward to is older games I haven't tried yet, and who don't have an online connection that forces unwanted updates down my throat

>>58426410
>only incels believe in women suddendly and magically becoming drastically older and worse the moment they hit an imaginary number instead of actual aging both men and women experience
Indeed.

>>58425597 (OP)

Here are some highlight comments and quotes, translated for your leisure
>Also, I’ve been thinking since SV, but the mob characters’ faces are just unbearable, creepy (I’m saying it outright). Up until Sword and Shield, they put effort into the mobs too, so how did it come to this?
This isn’t Pokémon anymore, it’s more like Politically Correct Monster.
>Since the first day of ZA, there’s been a huge uproar over design-related issues, starting with Mega Evolution.
>This is why Pokémon is finished now.
>This kind of thing is why support for Palworld is growing overseas. The leak revealed that Masuda was sidelined after XY due to internal politics, but he should be brought back immediately, shouldn’t he?
>Political correctness, that rubbish. The vomit of human society
>Pokémon, stop with the political correctness. I've been wanting to say this for a while, but the villains becoming so trivial is also because of political correctness, isn't it?
>Can't you stop with the SV character design?
>I've been thinking that even the lady at the Pokémon Centre, along with quite a few minor characters, are noticeably affected by political correctness. Games are games, reality is reality, so I wish they wouldn't bring that into games, yeah~~
>Honestly, I don’t know what they were considering, but the mob trainer designs in XY and ORAS were so good that the rubbish designs of recent mob trainers are unbearable to look at, so I don’t feel the slightest bit motivated to bother battling them.

>>58426605
I'll be honest, I'm kinda losing interest in responding, you're just repeating yourself and going in circles on the same thing, I hope you all become homeless and neck yourselves off a bridge for ruining my escapism

>>58426597
yes

>>58426633
Looks faggy

>>58426609
>muh mobs
>muh generic trainers look bad now so the game is LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE because it's a personal attack on me specifically waaah
Fucking hell, how much of a bitch do you have to be that this meaningless shit bothers you so much? Man up, they're generic NPCs

>>58426644
Shaming people for their opinions is such a 2020 thing, come up with some new material, faggot

>>58426641
Damn right its faggy! That's the point

>>58426644
>Man up
Kys, sexist bigot. Fuck off with that toxic masculinity.

>>58426644
Yeah typically the aesthetics are a huge factor of the enjoyability of a game. Have you been playing videogames with your eyes shut all this time?

>>58426653
No thanks, not interested in faggotry, I guess you and the 3 other guys on BlueSky are really happy about all this tho

>>58426264
Why the fuck would I want to look like myself in a game? I already look like myself IRL.

you chose this fate, /vp/

>>58425597 (OP)
The Pixarificarion and DEIification of this franchise depresses me.

>>58426649
I've always done it and will always do it
If you're a whiny bitch you need to be ridiculed until you either change your shit opinion or at least shut the fuck up
>>58426659
Women can man up too if they want, it's 2025
No one should be a little bitch about a baby game, simple as
>>58426667
Aesthetics are graphics, style etc
What do I care about some random ass NPC faggot that I see on the screen for 10 seconds and then never again? I don't even notice these literally whos. As long as the actual characters look fine there is literally no problem with making the mob characters look bad, they don't matter and you barely see them. They are XP machines

>>58426679
>why would I want immersion
What?

>>58426690
I can tell no one can tolerate you IRL.

>>58425597 (OP)
Gross

>>58426268
Twump! Mistah Twump! Pwease save me! Brownies are scawy!

>>58426690
Yeah you're right, in fact why do they even make NPC trainers designs at all lol! Might as well just have them all be blank white squares since they don't add anything to the game and don't matter LOL.
Clearly the games would be just as good whether they had good NPC designs, bad NPC designs, or no NPC designs at all since it matters so little!

>>58426690
This is exactly the type of attitude that made even normies get sick of you all, and those guys can tolerate A LOT, you all got an enflated ego from daddy government forcing internet platforms to censor people with different political opinions and thought you were gods or whatever, time to move on and live in the real world, retard

>>58425923
that's not what globalism means

>whole thread being 1 guy'd by a single troon.
nigga just stop responding to him, it's that simple.

>>58426699
I wonder who could be behind this post

>>58426690
I've got a bone to pick with you faggot.
People never say "(thing) doesn't matter" when (thing) in question is good. It only "doesn't matter" when its bad. Funny how that works innit.
I notice this phenomenon when a new entry in a series comes out the story is super dogshit, like bayonetta 3 or SMTV. Suddenly you get the "dude story doesn't matter its a videogame I only need the gameplay" shit spouted en masse.
But nobody says the story doesn't matter when the story is actually good do they?
Also in regards to NPCs specifically you're gonna have a hard time selling the idea that the designs don't matter when NPC designs routinely blow up and became massive fanart churners. There are tons of random NPC's more popular than entire ass pokemon. Hex maniac is objectively more popular than.. I dunno, fuckin druddigon

>>58426755
I did, seems other dudes are starting to pick on him, they always have this uncanny talent of making you get sick of even talking to them after a while

>>58426690
Criticism is good, it discourages bad behaviour. Should fans say nice things when products get worse?

>>58426609
>Politically Correct Monster.

>>58426697
Wrong, this is the internet, not IRL, no one is forced to post their shit everywhere, different rules than RL
>>58426723
Disingenuous faggot, obviously they should still look like humans, but who gives a fuck if they look like super models or below average, it makes literally no difference, it's a mob trainer
>>58426741
What are you even talking about?
>>58426779
Obviously people don't say shit when they don't complain about it. What a retarded statement
>"Thing is good"
>good for you buddy
>"Thing is bad waaah waaah I'm cryiiing waaaah"
>holy shit shut up faggot
Is this a hard concept to grasp?
>>58426796
There is criticism is and there's whining
"The NPCs don't look good" is different from "Pokemon is RUINED because the NPCs are ugly, this series is DOOMED, it's LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE and everyone at GF needs to DIE for their crimes against humanity!!!"
No one likes an overly dramatic faggot

The issue seems to be related to how they stopped doing singular "trainer class" designs and started doing "dynamic" trainers where every one looks slightly different, which in theory is a good thing, but ironically in this case it means less care is put into making each one not look creepy and ugly unlike when they were just making one design per class.

>>58426779
Good post but you shouldn't waste your time trying to reason with that guy. He will not return it.

I feel like it doesn't take much effort to have appealing designs.
If anything making everyone ugly takes more work

>>58426833
You didn't seem to grasp the point. Let me make it a bit simpler for you.
Good things are good actually. It'd probably be better if things were good, instead of bad.
Does that go down easier pal?

>>58426851
That's how you know they are malicious in this and not actually lazy

>>58426833
You didn't seem to grasp the point. Let me make it a bit simpler for you.

>>58426853
And what does that have to do with being an overly dramatic faggot because of something completely meaningless? Yes my frontyard could look nicer, does that make it ok and reasonable if my neighbour breaks down crying and calls the police because of it? No it fucking doesn't

What can I say except it's growing on me, #thankyougamefreak.

>>58426874
Masters is the only game where the vast majority of chracters can look cool/cute/pretty/sexy. Main series is pure uggo unless you're the mc or an important npc. Even then important npcs can also look ugly like Geeta

>>58426609
Do Japs like Mega Gatr?

>>58426890
k

>>58426020
This was a separate phenomenon caused by niantic wanting to virtue signal. OP is caused by gamefreak being incompetent at making hot girls, not wanting to avoid making hot girls. Though yes the final result is similar.

>>58426146
hey lois

>>58426890
No see, I'm calling you a retard for pretending that NPC designs are completely meaningless, whats not getting through to you? I'm sure you wouldn't go back to black and white or whatever and say the game would be EQUALLY as good to the very percentage if every NPC design in that game was made worse. While the NPC designs were good I can guarantee you that you never once had any thoughts about how good character design was unnecessary. I'm telling you to your face that you're a liar and you've only began sputtering about NPC designs being meaningless because now they've started to get shit and its your pretty pathetic attempt at a defence mechanism.

>>58426907
Convergent evolution lmao

>>58426445
There are game devs who are but you have to look outside of old incompetent studios.
IMO the "AAA" moniker is borderline propaganda designed to prop up dying companies just because they're established and have legacy

>>58426912
They always do this, they made fun of people for complaining about made-up pronouns in games, and how it doesn't matter, but If you tried to mod it out, you would get banned, it doesn't matter until it does, they think they are in a war with everyone else and that they are winning by playing dumb, but don't realize that everyone and their mother know what they are up to now and everyone is sick of it

>>58426644
Yes the feeling of beating beautiful people in battle is much more cathartic then beating uglies with inferior genetics to your player character and they should fix it posthaste

>>58426690
LMAO At calling people "whiny bitches" while angrily and passionately defending shitty video games from the horrors of people with taste

>>58426779
Beautiful image thank you

>>58426961
Projection is their bread and butter

>>58426874
I find it funny how XY had one incredibly out of place Furiosa Girl that was some redhead mommy instead of a teen then in the anime they tried to age her down to make her fit in and in Masters they just trashed her. Seriously look at this shit she doesn't fit in at all.

>>58426286

Actual twitter reaction image. Please KYS.

>>58426419
>>58425597 (OP)
She's literally cute. Looks like your average 20 something jap woman.

>>58426912
Again, as long as the people look like humans and not otherwise completely out of place, it literally doesn't matter one bit if they're 9/10 or 3/10
Your made up scenario of "what if they had no textures lol" is retarded

>>58427018
They don't look like humans tho, they look like freakshows

>>58427018
I see you've already moved goalposts from "they don't matter" to "well they matter to a certain extent within my own personal set of criteria..."
If they truly didn't matter then the no texture example truly would make no difference, the fact that you recognise the no texture example being ridiculous is a sign that you at least somewhat realise your entire position is full of shit.

>>58427018
They don't matter. So why do you care about arguing what people think of it.

They are making the white girls ugly but the brown dont emma mogged everything

There is also a cap of a different furisode girl (Shione) who has changed skin tone from brown to white so that does give a lot of credit to the theory that these are simply different people with homage names to the original girls, not the exact same people
Unless she Michael Jackson'd or something

I always assumed Katherine and Kali were 16-18 and the 2 others were like 20-24

>>58426989
They were adding one per year. She's going to be next new years.

>Blonde hair, white outfit
Did they screw up the names? Maybe there is one who has Catherine's Japanese name but has brown hair and pink/purple clothes.

Now I get it. Bonnie and Clemont voluntarily fled town after learning about project U.G.L.Y.

based pedophiles at game freak, they know girls grow to be irrevocably ugly after 16

What was their alibi?

Man, they struck gold with Galar's human models, why the fuck are we going backwards?

>>58426874
It's both funny and kinda sad how the best 3d humans since 2018 have been in the fucking gacha game

>>58426216
I'm glad someone else thinks so too, that was the last thing they had going for them

>>58431407
How so? There is no reason that Gamefreak's modelers would be specifically good at making humans.

Based bootleg Pixar noticer. It's fucking weird how little the human character artstyle shift is brought up. Basically everyone in Scat/Vomi looked fucking hideous.
I think they toned it down a little for ZA, but it's still pretty bad; especially for background NPCs.

I'm glad Niantic did this, males didn't even notice but it made trannies seethe.
