What do you mean? Gen 1 has such inspired designs! Like Dugtrio, or Magneton, or Muk...

Ah. Didn’t notice that part.

Also, people really tend to forget how much weird and/or boring stuff that Gen 1 brought us just because it was the first.


indigi posted:

the design is great except for the stupid tail. that detail really screams "justifying my position"

I have to agree. The head/eye is strange looking, but it does help convey that it’s made of liquid metal rather than being just a generic gray blob, but the red tail doesn’t seem to add anything to the design.

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

The tail and the shape chosen for the blob part do it no favors. It just looks like mercury ditto with stuff stuck on. However you feel about its design, at least Cosmog didn't make you immediately think of other pokemon.

The nut-eye is a cute detail, but it's on an otherwise mediocre design.

I just got a new copy of US. With the shiny Poipole will I run into problems with obedience? I'm only an hour into the game so no badges yet.

Also I'm guessing you're gonna have to trade one of those Dittos to your Lets Go to get Meltan?

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


If we weren't told "This thing is a special Pokémon", it could very easily pass for an equivalent of Magnemite or more appropriately, Klink, another pure steel type that feeds on electricity.

It would be hardly surprising if this thing evolved into a blob with more nut-heads that served as googly eyes.

Beyond debuting in a spin-off title and making its way to a main title. There isn't a whole lot to write home about it right now, but maybe it has a surprising secret that'll be revealed later. Or not.

I agree completely! I love the nut head, I dislike the tail, I REALLY dislike the body. It looks like a first draft.

to distinguish it from Ditto, Meltan shouldn't have arms. it should just be a liquid metal blob that amoebas around and extends pseudopods for attacks. like, what's the point of arms in that design. they serve no purpose other than to remind you of Ditto, so unless they're related somehow it seems lazy

This month's second giveaway gimmick comes from Ariong:


I have Shiny Poipole Codes for the first FIVE goons to help put on a thread photography show.
Show the best picture of your Pokemon taken at the Alolan Photo Booth. If there aren't any stickers on it you're disqualified for being boring.

Ultra* will get a shiny Poipole at level 40 with Dragon Pulse so you can evolve it on level-up right to Naganadel
Non-Ultra* will get NOTHING because both the code and contest require Ultra*

I bet it's going to be a Carbink>Diancie situation, where the lore is that it's a mutated ditto but there's not actually a game mechanic connecting them.

I'm not sure if I can only post one but I'll post many anyways because I want to show off my photos. I took one every time I finished a Grand Trial, so you can see how my character and my Vulpix changed throughout the game!






And this one's unrelated but I liked how the pose came out!



If only one counts, I'm pretty fond of the Ghost one. I think it has the most personality. I wish I could've gotten them directly instead of from my phone though, I'm sure I copied them at one point or another but I coudln't find them and my computer refuses to accept the 3DS' mini SD for some reason.
