Mewtwo is an angry deformed embryo, that's cool as gently caress.

As someone who's played tekken and also is real poo poo at fighting games, how is pokken

Edit: I don't know if tekken has anything to do with it but they both end in - kken

its made by a lot of the same people is why they both end in -ken. pokken is really really fun and very easy to get into! there are some similarities to tekken but its pretty different, the phase shift mechanic makes it very unique. it has a much bigger emphasis on ranged fighting as well

Your cat's steroid-enhanced paw phases right through my bird's body because by the time my bird is grown it has suffused itself in the souls of the Damned. Nothing personal, kid.

Compared to the other two, the Popplio line doesn't get instantly outclassed by other pokémon

Lucario has a lot of problems if you look at it closely. The spikes that do nothing, the weird shapeless tail, the jorts, the donut shoulders... The worst is its mouth, which works like this:

Lucario's entire muzzle tends to be drawn oddly whenever it shows up and it gets distracting in otherwise good scenes

Sometimes the Lucarios have a normal dog mouth which is good. The weird big nose with a people mouth is awful looking.

Agreed. I'm fine with anthro pokemon but Lucario just has a lot of legit poor design. Even Zoroark has a proper snout and I think the weird proportions look good on it, you could see how it would go on all fours. And I'm making that comparison bc the Zoroark line was similarily hyped up and rare as the Lucario line, and because they're both anthro canids with black-and-pop-of-color color schemes and and 'edgy' feel. I think it's pretty fair to compare them and I think I like Zoroark's execution better. I guess it also comes down to a more streamlined design? Lucario has a lot of stuff going on which gives it more room to trip up. The, uh, the fur shorts don't help, though.

Zorua and Zoroark have a pretty fun gimmick, too.

EDIT: This is fanart but it illustrates what I mean fairly well when it comes to Zoroark looking more like a fantasy canid than Lucario does.

Please, please don't let me end up in a threesome with the lunch lady and a gay pirate. That would hit a little too close to home.

Most Pokemon you can at least make a reasonable guess as to what type they are based on their appearance, and Lucario's one of the most glaring exceptions. I think it looks a lot more like a Dark type than Fighting, and it doesn't look the least bit like Steel. Oh wow, a few spikes, like there aren't a zillion other Pokemon with pointy bits who aren't Steel.

What a pity no one's done a lucario redesign with metal braces/weights on its arms and legs

Or maybe make its Jojo Shoulder Wheels and dreadlocks steel-colored - give it a Sentai/Kamen helmet like Ledian

Hey, I'll wonder trade away all my 5iv magikarps, should be fun! Hey, a shiny Slakoth, cool! Hey, it's named Porch Monkey, significantly less cool.
