Tengen toppacorn is bad tho And pokemon designs are getting any worse really. Theyre just getting more abstract. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Mar 18, 2017 |

turn off the TV posted:That evolution isn't any worse than most of the recent designs. i'm not entirely sure how thats relevant since i only compared it to its evolutions, unless you mean you think this is equally as bad as minicorn, which i have to disagree with strongly

Oblivicorn kind of looks like a Digimon, which isn't necessarily a bad thing? There have been Pokemon that look like Digimon since Gen 3. I mean, I don't like it, but I can see why people do.

freshlybaked posted:I hope you don't also like Klinklingklangklang  I wish Klingklang had better type coverage, but it's a neat concept, executed well, and of a piece with Gen V's entire design aesthetic. Contrast to Uranium, which does not have a coherent design aesthetic, probably because there wasn't a quality control group, or one guy who just had the ability to say NO to anything and kick it back down to be refined or scrapped. Klefki also owns. It's a perfect representation of what Fairy type can be. It's weird, sort of cute, and very mischievous. on the subject of unicorn Pokemon, I want to see a Dark type one that just looks like a traditional unicorn, except its eyes sometimes glow red. And its Pokedex entry says it lures people in by being charming and cute, and then BRUTALLY ATTACKS THEM. just a douchebag unicorn, is what I want.

ZeroCount posted:Some people just don't like object pokemon and that's okay.  Like, as long as you don't ascribe it to "this only happened in newer gens", it's okay if not every pokémon tickles your fancy.However, even the unpopular ones are polished and gone over in design again and again, in modern games, designed and redesigned and yes, in a lot of cases, overdesigned. They probably would have done that in Gen 1 if they expected the game to sell, at that, but they were held back pretty strictly by their technology then anyway. I want to know how many redesigns and/or revisions Garlikid went through; I bet it's less than five. They thought "garlic" + "superhero" and then just threw something together they thought fit that. In turn we got One Punch Meditite.

You know what, I can't judge because I like Golurk who is essentially just a robot anyway. I'll argue against Klefki being either cute or mischievous though. It's face carries no expression nor personality, and I keep wanting to use it to unlock my door

Object pokemon are cooler because they demand more attention to design in order to present them as living things, tend to have interesting backstories (Grimer are created by moon X rays wtf), and are often steel, poison or ghost types, all of which are top tier cool according to my inner child. Cartoonifying some random animal straight-up is both lazier and less interesting than a set of living gears that grow by becoming a progressively more complex system imo. Pokemon should be weird and interesting, not literally just poo poo I see in a zoo.

The problem with a pokemon made of constantly moving gears is how do you even pet that kind of thing?

Personally, my problem really lies in the designs of object Pokemon, rather than the concept. The Beldum line all look really cool and distinct, and Garbodor is a walking garbish monster with a funny expression. Klink on the other hand is literally just gears with painted on face (I say painted on because it doesn't move), and it's evolutions are just more objects slapped on it. Even something like Roggenrolla line and Vanillish is more interesting than that because it's at least more than 'just a rock and ice cream'. Maybe I'm also sour because Digimon had a better gear monster design that's way older too.

Similar question of how you pet Grimer, Muk, or any flavor of pokemon that's on fire or constantly sparking. Some pokemon need PPE to interact with. Does klinklang have a proper lock out tag out procedure?

Palmon and Terriermon have had their turn being the hero, it's the dumb gear's turn, and Clockmon was awesome... amazing... stupendous! well he was cool I guess..

We've seen 49 of the 168 new designs for Uranium, by the way. One of those is Palij which I think I glossed over technically having as part of the photographer's requests.  Middle bird. Meh.
