frynai and saidine are actually pretty goddamn solid, i like their names and their designs overall, they do a great job of being cool and also goddamn adorable, Saidine's little headband and super serious samurai expression is just the most precious thing

Daikatuna fucks it up, all you had to do was make a swordfish but it had a katana, style its fins like a samurai helmet, and just call it Katuna. instead you have to make some weird fishman who taped a sword to its head, and name it after an internet meme so old that it could be a fossil pokemon

Saidine is legit, but Frynai isn't quite there on either count. I really like the design but the execution is a bit off--the tail is rendered in a very flat, stiff manner which doesn't really mesh with the body so it just looks like an icon of a kunai randomly superimposed on a fish (contrast with Saidine where there's a curve that runs through the whole body and tail, creating a sense of continuity between the two parts.)

I agree that it's cute, but I thought it looked more like a manticore.

It's a mix between a manticore and a chimera I guess. No goat head, but it does have wings.

drat near all these evolutions are just "they get longer/become An Animal" and it's the worst. That and the artist's Shenlong fetish.

Daikatuna is this game's peak. I have no idea what's coming up but there's no way it's not just all downhill from there

ya know, fan-games have a good position to get rid of terrible mechanics, and while i understand why you might keep in 1% encounters or bad moves i can't for the life of me understand keeping trade evos

it's not just cause they're only in there to give incentive to buy two versions, it's also that you have to set up the netcode to be able to do them and that just seems like a hassle

Pretty sure it's there in the official games as an incentive to have friends. The entire Pokemon franchise has been full of attempts to make the players finally go out and socialize. Exclusive Pokemon and trade evos, that IR Mystery Gift thing from Gen II, the Poke-Walker, then Pokemon GO! shows up and is just like "gently caress you, you need to go outside to play this at all and if you want items you better get ready to run into other human beings at Poke Stops".

they can use all the reasons they wanted to justify it but let's be real, trade evos and exclusive pokemon were a way to get kids to bug their parents for both versions and only exist today as a legacy feature
