Emalde posted:it would take a lot more sentences here than i'm willing to write about standard anime face design traits, compiled against the history of named pokemon characters, but he's not wrong I want to hear this explanation, please post it. Not because I care about the argument, but because I find insider knowledge about obscure minutiae like this very fascinating.

I'd like to see more legendaries be tied into ingame events instead of sitting on an island somewhere waiting for you. Put them at the ends of fun sidequests involving them, make them feel like part of the world instead of just another prize to be collected.

Samurott is such a disappointing design for so many reasons. Not an otter Biped > biped > quadruped (what?) Uses swords he keeps holstered on his front arms(why?), and also they can magically stretch out because(???) Looks like he's got some on his back legs too, when and how is he ever going to use those? Has to stand on 3 legs while he swings a sword, can only ever use 1 of his 2 swords for this reason (why not stand up?) Has functional hands, but walks on all fours like a bitch Stupid-looking shell-horn-hat not in fitting with any elements of his previous forms What the gently caress is that tail, otters are not cetaceans Gains points for a cool face stache, then loses them immediately for his unkempt neckstache Doesn't even keep the right color scheme It looks like it was designed by a bunch of kids from deviantart that couldn't agree on anything.

Garbodor has a better, more cohesive, and more immediately understandable design than Samurott. Samurott is designed worse than garbage!

Dunban posted:"overdesigned" is in the same poo poo tier of arguments as "looks like a Digimon" Hello, no. A character being overdesigned means that there are an abundance of disparate and mostly unrelated ideas present in their design that don't add anything constructive to the main concept beyond cheap flash. In other words, "trying to do too way many things at once and failing at all of them." Stupid internet people have completely devalued the term by using it as a catch-all term to represent a myriad of arguments such as "Designed in a way that I don't like," which is not an argument, or "Has too many moving parts," which is an entirely different can of beans. Additionally, I would argue that while the Owlcher has some elements that may muddle the main idea a bit, (the glasses markings, drawstring hoodie, and smart bowtie make it look more like a student than an archer) it works together well enough as a whole that it can be considered a cohesive design. It is not overdesigned. If you look closely, you can see how some of its elements mesh in more subtle ways. A neat one is that due to using its drawstrings as a bowstring, as it aims the hood scrunches closed into a sort of ersatz aiming sight. Overdesigning is a legitimate, real thing that you need to be aware of as a character designer, or else your character will come out looking like loving Luso.  Thank you for your time.

Color choice is also a big part of design unity. Both Owlcher and Armaldo have like 5 colors, tops, and the colors are equally distributed throughout the design's elements in a tasteful manner. Contrast this with poster boy Luso, who is a walking, jangly rainbow with no harmony and numerous one-off colors.

Improbable Lobster posted:It's currently thought that the anomalocaris' closest living relative is the velvet worm, which isn't really represented in pokemon yet. Velvet worms are cool as hell, it would make a great pokemon. I could see it being a bug/dark type or something that got a lot of snaring and entry hazard moves like sticky web and such.

Waffles Inc. posted:can't wait to team up my best friend shedinja with my new friend RugbyMonkey so Monkey gets wonder guard I can't believe how rad all of these new abilities and moves are. Passimian just existing on the field will make your opponent think twice about who to kill, and could even lead to some bullshit shenanigans on switch ins. It's blowing my mind that I can't think of a single pokemon shown so far that I would describe as useless. It seems like every single one has had some serious forethought into designing not only their looks and theme, but their utility and viability as well. They all have some kind of niche that they fill, and that's something that I don't know I could say for any other generation. Are we witnessing the death of route-fillers?

less laughter posted:Lurantis, sadly. I dunno. A sunlight-based ability like Leaf Guard makes sense, seeing as it's never going to see use on anything but a sun team cause of Solar Blade. Depending on its stats, it might be better suited to being shielded from statuses rather than going fast with Chlorophyll or something.

Slate Action posted:"No traditional gyms/create your own gym" sounds super fake, Game Freak hasn't gotten where they are by changing a single thing about the core gameplay progression since 1996. there aren't gyms, though they've been replaced by "island trials" with totem pokemon bosses at the end. this is already confirmed

Doubles are the best format because it opens up so much more interactions between moves, pokemon, and abilities, and gives pokemon that would otherwise be trash a chance to shine. Singles are for boring losers.

 Look at these cool motherfuckers that are definitely not ugly last-minute pallete swap filler legendaries. "Only gained traction because of great stats and movepools," you say? Get outta town.

Flamenco bird is maybe one of my favorite things to come out of this gen so far. It's so classy. All of the Oricorios are great, but Baile is by far the most stylish.

Bird in name only, in this case literally as it's based a fairly famous sword technique most commonly called the "Turning Swallow Cut," a two-stroke vertical cut inspired by the motion of a swallow's tail mid-flight. The only reason it's a flying-type move is because the technique itself is named after a bird, and this is also why so many non-bird pokemon can learn it. Fun Fact: The swordsman who came up with this technique was the same dude Miyamoto Musashi beat to death with an oar.
