the gen 1 nostalgia will never stop being funny considering a lot of the actual gen 1 designs that i think of when people continually talk about how uninspired the more recent gens are

There are other, closer pokemon whose names aren't springing to my mind sure, but turn the wings to little beetle wings and put the arms on its nipples and its pretty close.

Genocyber posted:Indeed, if only all new Pokemon designs could be as inventive as "just a Pokeball" or "a pile of sludge." Sorry to bring this topic back. But in specifically Voltorbs defense, I think "just a Pokeball imposter" is pretty inventive in the first game that pokeballs ever existed in, and every item you pick up in the game uses the sprite of a pokeball which enables fake outs.

Yeah, Voltorb's design isn't just 'Pokeball', it's "Pokemon-specific Mimic".

Kellym doesn't care his son is going to die in a year and foreshadows that no, nuclear Pokemon are not going to be just confined to the island. Anyway now that we've irrevocably hosed up, we can walk in the gym now. They all use Water Pokemon, except when they use Cocaran. I can't sweep with electric moves, like that guy said, but I can sweep with Lotadio. Somewhere in there, Buttplug finally hits level 24 from the EXP Share and evolves into her final form. To my chagrin, she no longer resembles a buttplug. Dragon Claw is a high-power physical Dragon move with no added effects. It's MEGAWEAPON's bread and butter. It will never leave his first move slot. Anyway here's the gym leader. She for some reason gives her backstory where she was saved by a water Pokemon and dedicated her life to water Pokemon and saving drowning people. OFSelects: Pixies - Bone Machine It's the first track off of Surfer Rosa. Cali has a Brailip, a Tubjaw, and a Sableau. Sableau is Cassnail's evolved form. Lotadio uses Giga Drain until they're all gone. Uh, lady, you know this thing evolves with coconut milk, sold in this very town, right? Leaf Blade is a real serious physical grass move, at least. But it has a x4 weakness to Ice and I just bought Blizzard. That's Cali, she's sort of... here. This is a decent Water move for all my water peeps. However on trying to leave Bealbeach causes a thing to happen as the screen goes dark and shakes and Dick Solomon has a ! over his head. Rangers come up and Dad says: PU-NuclearEvent.ogg Why are you giving us a boat ticket? Oh. I guess? "Escape on this PLEASURE CRUISE!!!" The rangers are, of course, completely doomed. Unless I have a bug fart at the assailant. Draining Kiss is only 10 power over Fairy Wind, but I've hopefully demonstrated the utility of draining attacks, and this one is 3/4 instead of 1/2. Nuclear Pokemon looking black and green is a thing in-universe. A pair of Nuclear Corsola attack. I catch one for fun. You know what's better than awkward references to Pokemon mythology? Awkward references to your own original Pokemon mythology! Thankfully we have an ally now. Well so much for that. It's a Gyarados with more x4 weaknesses than normal! I take it too. Anyway we take a luxury cruise to escape a nuclear disaster. It's a boat ride in a Pokemon game which means we fight trainers. OH MY GOD WHY IS THE SUN SO BRIGHT I try to replace it with heavy rainfall but this Palij is determined to have the screen glow harshly at me. Uh well Oh yeah Snail Time is a Sableau now and is hanging around with us for the time being. Lotadio has cheesed two gyms and underwent a sex change, I think she can retire peacefully. Theo's here too. He's fairly concerned about the nuclear plant exploding. Especially since Cameron, his father, was on the island. Nothing like a fight to get your mind off of your possibly dead dad. His Cubblfly's evolved too. Buttplug kisses Baaschafs to death with 0 effort so... I'm pretty sure My Fursona will get wrecked. His grass thing is now it's middle stage. It flies. It's still weak to Poison Fang. ...What the gently caress Well he still has his unevolved Minyan and his starter, but! It's evolved into Archilles! It's fast as piss and no slouch offensively! With this and Magnitude it has some really mean moves under its belt. But Snail Time can one-shot it with Water Pulse. Theo's having a moment. We leave him be. That was the cruise. It's no real big event but it's weird to escape a nuclear disaster by luxury cruise. Heh, gen 1 reference. Heh, it's still as weird. Heh, he doesn't give Dick Solomon poo poo. Will something really exciting happen in route 8? Perhaps...

And now we've met a real SPECIAL design,Linkite, which TIeTuesday called Banksy for how hard it was trying to be edgy and send a message about how dark pokemon actually is maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. We're starting to hit the point where all the real weird designs show up, strap in y'all.

Hey Uranium guys, while you were making this edgy pokemon-chained-by-a-pokeball, the actual creators made an entire plot about the concept of pokeslavery.

Sableau is basically just Gastrodon. Archilles looks decent and has a cool name, though.

Okay, so. Linkite is the ghost of a Pokemon that died in its Pokeball and since it doesn't know what it looked like, it takes the form of a Substitute.

You can tell Uranium's trying to get all grimdark when that nuclear explosion theme makes absolutely no attempt to sound like Pokemon music. It's just "DUN DUDUN DUN DUN DUN"

So much for that Bealbeach difficulty curve. I'm still not sure what other players were getting at here. Following up about my post from earlier about this event, since we're past it; the Corsola and Gyarados you have as fixed encounters here are actually obedient if you try to use them. The Corsola is still a Corsola, of course, but the Gyarados may be competent if you tried to use it. I wasn't aware of this trick on my playthrough. And yeah, Linkite is weird.

Reimou posted:but the Gyarados may be competent if you tried to use it. I wasn't aware of this trick on my playthrough. If it weren't just a worse Gyarados maybe. It's 2 nuclear moves are a mediocre special attack and a less accurate copy of Toxic. In return you get 4x weaknesses to loving everything. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Mar 20, 2017 |

While I wouldn't call most of the designs in the most recent update GOOD, they're at least not as bad as the earlier ones in the game.

This thing is actually pretty decent, both in concept and design. It's certainly not amazing, but 'aztec winged serpent' is fine as a base and whoever designed this one had more restraint than some of the other overcomplicated, messy things. It's okay. Like Nimflora and it's weird pointless tiny stubby middle arms. The fox/fairy/insect/whatever design was already pretty overwrought and then they were like 'but what if the third set of arms were tiny for no reason, that won't be visually confusing at all'. Edit: Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the pokedex entry for Nimflora to see if it gave some kind of context - it doesn't - and the non-sprite artwork of this thing is even more confusing. What is that? Why does it look so evil? What's wrong with it's bottom pair of legs, why are they posed like that? Are the middle legs just weird limp vestigial limbs that don't work? I should not have this many questions about fangame Butterfree. GirlCalledBob fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Mar 20, 2017 |
