Sage's designs are great for exactly the same reason why Uranium's are awful: relentless peer editing. Uranium is built by one guy, but every single one of Sage's pokemon designs was focus tested 3-4 times for virtually all of their aspects; overall design, specific details and even the name. It goes to show that design by committee can work pretty well when the committee is invested enough in the end result.

And this is all based in 4chan, no less. The quality is through the roof.

First Pokemon I see on the Pokemon Clover page is a suicide bomber lizard themed around Islamic insurgents.

When the selling point is '4chan' Yeah i dont know what you expected. The less said about clover the better. Lets just stick with sage and uranium.

Eh, they still do "Dev Sunday" every week at 4chan. It's more that once the team is assembled, you need to be able to communicate more effectively than "Anonymous posts when you aren't sure people are on and awake" Here's the attack animation they've done up for Terrorize  And this is Vivace, the town where the games bad guys are set  Both meant to represent the glitzy glam on the surface and the slums. They also had gifs handling the new Pokemon Follow script (because the one they had they didn't like) and showcasing the new stairs because, in their own words "The old ones didn't look good." All from this past sunday.

to be fair, clover is going for intentionally stupid/bad/offensive designs. uranium is actually sincere.

I thought clover was tongue in cheek like all the goon rom hacks. idk if pokemon uranium goes more edge, I would probably like it more.

clover is just full of the awful dregs of 4chan, sage is the one where the devs were actually interested in making a 'real' pokemon game

Bloody Pom posted:Its evolution method is really neat too. Its second stage has two forms depending on whether it evolves holding a burn heal or an ice heal. The former learns Ice moves, the latter learns Fire moves. You evolve it again by leveling it up while it's holding the opposite of its previous evolution item, at which point it becomes a hulking alchemical monstrosity. That last one is actually adorable again. Like it's suddenly realized how huge it is and is only thinking that now it can reach things on the top shelf!

As a chemist, I feel that this is a perfect representation of when a reaction goes awry and you try to fix it but only make a bigger mess.

I'm sad they aren't official designs because they're adorable. Even the big one looks like it's trying to make out that it is a Big Scary Monster but is actually a Big Soft Monster. It's almost like a reverse-Bewear Also I like the gas mask thing that red one has going on.

Since we're all gushing about Sage, my favourite from their designs is Hyekuza, the Bad News Pokemon. quote:Fiercely proud and protective of its hairdo, the Hyekuza with the largest and most extravagant pompadour is considered the leader of the pack. Also Trenchula, because that's an A+ quality pun.

Y'know the thing that I like most about these Sage designs is that they're all puns. Does Uranium even have puns?

If this mess of a game teaches you anything, let out be that puns are great and portmanteaus are the worst.

Honestly, that one fails because they have the perfect opportunity to maintain theme but couldn't be assed. We'll get there.
