Can't believe they're putting this much effort into the damage control for their invisible Kecleon placeholder.

Shame that it's a Mythical Pokemon, I wanna see it evolve! Though with Poipole and Cosmog, I guess evolving legendaries are a thing now.

Cats cure all ills. Post more of them.

Is no one gonna comment on how the one guy is clearly talking to a really uncanny valley Professor Oak AI and not actually professor oak? Cause that definitely was not professor Oak, he wasn't even the same style as the Pokemon Go professor artwork.

It's like Mario Odyssey, there are real humans in the world of Pokemon, and then there's the weird goblins from Kanto.

The Pokemon Go style for humans is bad, and even worse when they're made to interact with actual Pokemon characters.

The official LGPE website posted:

Most of Meltan’s body is made from liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. It can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its own body.

Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and also as an attack that can be fired from its eye.

Clearly a curious Pokémon, Meltan is very expressive and shows an interest in all kinds of things.

I'd much rather have the Go style than the LGPE style where everyone is a weird super-deformed mutant. And I'd rather have the normal style to them both. Both looked awful here.

Not Meltan though, Meltan is very cute and would be good if it wasn't another of Pokemon's worst idea, Mythicals. But at least it is cute.

It'd be a neat change of pace if, instead of giving you Meltan, they give you a mythical item that evolves a ditto of your choice into Meltan.

Meltan basically represents everything I love in poke-design, it's a dumb, weird idea with a weirdly thought out backstory and it's cute as gently caress and I want ten

That's just Oak from Let's Go. Dunno why they decided to mix the artstyles, probably a cost-saving measure since they already had these models

It looks like it's suspended between four different spots on the inside of the nut with fishing line.

Sadly, I doubt official merch will go through this sort of effort. He'll just be looking to one side so they can attach the eye to the side of the nut.

It probably evolves into something with a more coherent theme. As of now, it’s basically a blob of mercury, a giant hexagonal nut, and a small length of red electrical wire (?).

Yeah it was a smart move of them to debut it in a game with only gen1 designs so it at least looks good in comparison.

It's a Mythical, it won't evolve.

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