we're never making it out of here

yep mega feraligatr is a kino design

Then stop paying: if i'm gonna be stuck here then i'm gonna freeload.

>people genuinely defending this godawful design
Pokémon fans deserve the shit games they're getting

i absolutely am not and i don't think most people here are, didn't buy anything pokemon since dexit

>the majority picked Totodile over Feraligatr
There’s your answer for why its mega looks like that. Feraligatr suffers from being overshadowed by its own baby form.

Its a neat idea with bad execution

the pokémon you grew up with no longer exists

>>58449326 (OP)
I’m not even surprised people defend this trash.

>>58449326 (OP)
Sounds like estrogen fueled weeaboo cope

Former design aesthetics-fag here, what are some good Pokemon that are Based On Things to start getting into? I was thinking might Alolan Persian be a good starting point.

>>58449326 (OP)
I-it's getting even bigger inside me

>>58449346
You would be surprised at how mediocre this place is outside of release season.
It's all buyers shiny hunting, gooning and reassuring themselves things will get better because they buy into Joe hopium.

Yes it does. You don’t have to mega evolve her.

I'm getting really sick of these retarded pseuds acting like referencing Kamen Rider or Godzilla or Ultraman is some kind of instant win button for Pokemon designs

I want to beat the fuck outta the motherfucker who came up with this phrase.

Yeah he sure is

Mega Feraligatr is also a Belphegor reference

Sorry but I am stilll playing gen 1-5

>>58449326 (OP)
Honestly, I think Mega Feraligatr would’ve look passable had they lower the hood fin to 45 degrees. What do you guys think?

>>58449761
One's taking a shit and represents laziness while the other is lazy shit. There's a difference here.

What did Game Freak mean by this?

>>58449326 (OP)
>Mega Feraligatr is a love letter to fans of Totodile
>Mega Dragonite is a love letter to fans of Dragonair
>Mega Victreebel is a love letter to fans of Weepinbell
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss when megas were an attempt to improve on the original design instead of appealing to people that don't even like the final evolution.

>>58449970
The hood needs to be attached more rigidly, it needs to be smaller, and the arms shouldn’t fucking stretch to force the design to work. Also, the second jaw being “stronger” is asinine. You’re telling me that flimsy hood slamming down on gatr doing forward laterals is 10x stronger than its actual jaw? Retarded.

>>58449996
So basically what you're saying is that Feraligatr either needed to be more popular, Totodile less popular, or they needed to be from KANTOOO to avoid this?
>>58450001
>but I miss when megas were an attempt to improve on the original design
Like mega ampharos? or mega glalie? or mega salamence? Megas are a smorgasbord of random designs. There's no unifying or cohesive theme they all follow, it's just random quality all around.

>>58450010
>it needs to be smaller, and the arms shouldn’t fucking stretch to force the design to work.
Or at least make its arms longer so they don’t have to stretch to form the “lower jaw”

>>58449326 (OP)
But Kamen Rider Revice looks like this and is cool. He doesn't have a toilet head.

>>58450041
>Like mega ampharos? or mega glalie? or mega salamence?
Yes; those megas weren't made with fans of Snorunt, Bagon or Mareep (or at least not to the detriment of Ampharos) in mind. When I first saw Mega Dragonite, the most obvious aspect was the fact that it was clearly made with Dragonair fans in mind.

>>58449326 (OP)
Gamefreak could release a png of a literal shit and these "people" would somehow find a way to defend it
God the most cancerous thing about pokemon is the fans

>>58450132
Why are you mentioning their first forms? You said you missed when megas were meant to be an improvement over the original design. How are Mega Glalie, Salamence, and Ampharos improvements over the base design?

>>58450142
>>I am gay
yes you are.

Why would you screen cap this shit to give this faggot a voice? Didn't read btw

>>58449400
Emulate the DS games is pretty easy

>>58449326 (OP)
It referenced something that means its a 10/10 design execution and grew on me.

>>58449562
Based lol

It referenced something that means we're supposed to clap. Instant masterpiece. Just let people enjoy things you heccin schizo.

>>58449353
You know that statement is not true as well as I do

>>58449326 (OP)
>it's a good design aktually because it was inspired by some bull obscure magical myth someone pulled out of their asshole 20000 years ago
Cope its a horrible design. Worst mega evolution ever made period. Literally embarrassing to look at.

People said this exact same thing to justify baxcalibur and duraludon's unfortunate existences

>>58449970
I think it would be way better if it had its hood completely closed most of the time and only opened it to attack

>>58450805
The model does not change it just tacks extra shit on. Pure laziness for masochists.

>>58449326 (OP)
I went to read the full tweet and everyone is making fun of him and saying that the reference don't matter because it still look like shit, I'm pleased

>>58450805
What justification does Baxcalibur need? It's a just cool looking ice dragon.

>>58449326 (OP)
toxic cope

>>58449326 (OP)
Yeah I know it's supposed to looks like Tododile, I have eyes thanks you. It's still shit.

>>58451063
>Baxcalibur
>cool looking
It looks like total shit

>>58449326 (OP)
>the red head is literally totodile's head model
they're straight up admitting that it's a lousy copy paste job. the arms have to stretch because the hood is ripped from another model that doesn't fit proportionally to feraligatr's design

>>58450805
Guys, I finally get it
It's a reference to Alligators rising up from the sewers through people's toilets
10/10 design

>>58449326 (OP)
>went to read rhe rest
>"Also they call the fake head a hood-like fin, a hood is a piece of clothing, and guess what Paris is famous for: clothe!"

This guy is surely trolling. Someone post the responsdz

>>58449347
Yet it will be remembered for YEARS. While Mega Lucario just is.

>>58449400
When I don't mega evolve my mons they look the same as back then though.

>>58449326 (OP)
They wanted to make it wings like druddigon but simplified it into one piece for the sake of merch. Any other theory is copium.

>>58451414
Sadly all modern pokemon are made with plushies and toys in mind. The shitty simplified models are also easier to animate and are easier to use for the anime.

once you realize it’s based on a concept it’s genius

>>58451513
Yeah, exactly. Unlike those overdesigned edgy fan designs its goofy and referential. It's grown on me.

>>58449400
I've been having this sort of existential crisis the last week. I don't care about pokemon 99% of the year, but I went into z-a thinking this was going to be something I'd be really hooked on for like a week or two. But it wasn't. So now I'm just out here trying to figure out what the fuck to do. Looking into romhacks and pokemon mmos to just sort of capture that feeling I'm wanting to find.

Tbf digimon fans have been doing this for as sukamon has been a thing

>>58451974
digimon

>>58449326 (OP)
I really hated the Poopmon design that was just a turd with sweetcorn for eyes but as soon as I learned it's based on the concept of sweetcorn not digesting in poop I learned to love it!

>>58452899
Who gives a shit about digimon
The problem here is retarded pokemon fans that lap up every turd Gamefreak excretes to the point they know they can get away with doing the bare minimum due to successfully raising pokemon fans as braindead consumer cattles since childhood

>>58451202
Holy shit you're right. It's grewing on me now...

#THANKYOUGAMEFREAK for this beautiful, awe aspiring, creative and well thought out Pokémon design. I should have never doubted you.

>It's Mega Totodile!
Why do people keep using this defense? People wanted Mega Feraligatr. Leave the Giant Totodiles to the Gigamax gimmicks.

they literally could make this head its hoodie and make him chomp with it, but no, retarded nips must do what retards do

>>58450001
>Mega Flygon would've most likely been Mega Trapinch
We dodged another bullet this gen, holy shit.

>>58450001
>miss when megas were an attempt to improve on the original design
fuck off, xy oras era sucked ass, at least new megas try different things than fucking spikes or little to no improvements or pseudo edgy shit, the bad thing is the designs are made by nips

>>58454485
No it wouldn’t because unlike Feraligatr, Flygon is the most popular member of its line.

I get it, its still retarded. We could have had a spinosaurs.

At the very least, you could have had the red helmet entirely attached to his arms instead of having that toilet lid. Then he could clap motherfuckers, and when not and clap trap mode, it would look like red wings attatched to his arms.
