i actually like the further evolutions such as electivire and magmortar, but something about rhyperior seems weird. maybe because rhydon was one of giovanni's 'things' in the early games and it feels odd for there to just magically be a further evolution.

It's a horrible design, it looks terrible and whoever decided it should be included needs to get fired immediately if they haven't gotten fired yet, but it isn't because it's overdesigned, just because it's bad and it saddens me that something as great as Rhydon becomes that.

I'd call Chesnaught overdesigned. If we want the kings of that title, we'd have to look at Kyrem-White and especially Kyurem-Black.

well that's kind of cool. But when it debuted, there was nothing outside of the pokedex letting you know those existed. Like people have said, bringing them to 3D has made a lot of them cooler, but also some of them were just bad. Purrloin standing up was really weird. Tropius, Xatu, and those other non-wingflapping pokemon came out weirder than they should've. However sassy clefairy and clefable with their finger snaps is pure gold.

Countblanc posted:It means Rhydon can use Eviolite, so consider it a buff to a mon you like On the other hand, it means that if it ever gets a Mega, it goes to Rhyperior instead of a cooler Rhydon, and it almost definitely means we aren't getting Alolan variations of the Rhyhorn line since those are for Gen 1 only and now there's a pesky Gen 4 design at the end. And it isn't even good! Also all the Electabuzz line is awesome. Wish I could say the same for Magmar.

Legendary pokemon and mega evolutions employ more design elements in order to underscore that they're a big deal.

i know i'm probably alone on this for sure, but electabuzz always looks like they wanted to do some ape-like design but didn't go far enough so it looks odd to meoddium posted:i wish electivire had electabuzz's tail, or even two of electabuzz's tail. the way the black cord tails curve up is weird yeah, definitely

Incorrect. Wimpod is a Trilobite. Well, probably more of a horseshoe crab, but same thing different era. Cicadas! fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Sep 19, 2016 |

I always thought the Chikorita line was kind of underdesigned, Chikorita itself in particular It's just kind of a blob that grows a neck later

You're not wrong, but they gave it so much personality in the anime that it made up for it in spades.

It's the closest thing we've got to an apatosaurus, and I will credit it for that.

Velvet worms are cool as hell, it would make a great pokemon. I could see it being a bug/dark type or something that got a lot of snaring and entry hazard moves like sticky web and such.

The real disappointing thing about 3D is that it doesn't seem like they'll be updating them each generation like they have the sprite animations.

Who is everyone's favourite unevolved pokemon, not in terms of usability, just in terms of how excellent they are? As well as my documented affection for Sunkern I am very fond of Chingling. I want twenty of them to live in my Christmas tree.
