Why is Rotom a pokedex?
>>340087636
Masuda is ruining the series, someone stop him
>>340090314
What bothers me about images like this is they act like the original designs don't exist anymore.
If you still wanna use Pinsir and Heracross without mega evolving, you can.
The original 151 Pokemon are still in the games, and if you like them so much, you never have to touch any of the others.
I don't understand the hatred.
>>340089154
where is the water coming from though?
Is the Pokemon literally creating matter from nothing?
lets compare some proportions
>>340087636
Pokémon is the literal definition of casual gaming and has been for the past 20 or so years to everyone except for a handful of Smogon mouthbreathers.

If you unironically think the legends look anything like Digimon you've either A) never actually watched Digimon, B) need to get your eyes checked or, most likely; C) need to fucking stop listening to these retarded memes.
>>340092593
Mega Beedrill is fucking based though.
>>340090497
Have you only recently discovered Pokemon?
This has always been the case for every Water type. Look at Blastoise in the very first intro of the anime (or Squirtle in the first season).
Pokemon are literally magic creatures. It's not really a series that stops to ponder how the production of different types of energy from creatures effects the overall eco-system, it's about magical creatures fighting each other.

FUCK YEAH! BEEDRILL
I got exited for ORAS and immediately got upset when my brother reminded me of Megas; Same thing happened to Sun and Moon.
I play Pokemon for the collecting, but for whatever reason I can't enjoy the series anymore after the introduction of Megas. Maybe because I don't have 'tangible' Pokemon in my PC or I just don't like the idea of temporary evolution, I'm really unsure what it is about them. I understand the balancing of old Pokemon for competitive play and I've tried to get into the competitive side of the game several times and couldn't bring any enjoyment out of it.
At this point I've accepted Pokemon isn't for me and I'm truly jealous of those who still enjoy it; I do miss playing.
When asked what the next generation of Pokémon games will be like if such a plan exists, Sugimori commented that they will not add more layers of complexity, but rather revert back to simplicity, in part by using elements found in Pokémon Red and Green. Therefore, there is now speculation that Game Freak may opt for this route in developing Generation VII.
As a side note, not only the number of games, but also the number of Pokémon, moves, abilities, items, etc. increase as each new generation is introduced, to such a degree that is difficult to remember all of them. It is impossible to decrease the amount of Pokémon, and such a move is assumed to be uncalled for, but some fans have claimed that it might be better to significantly organize/trim the moves, abilities, items, etc.
Also, Sugimori thought that other than the content of the game, Pokémon designs could probably be simplified, as well. As an extra, he stated in the same magazine that his favorite Pokémon of all times, even now as of the Pokémon XY series, is still Gengar as in the past.

They absolutely did.
When you burst with gengar and become mega gengar, the void your torso is sticking out of moves around with you, even if you jump, so the legs hiding in them aren't ever visible.
I have like 500 hours in it at this point with over 3000 matches played, I think I know what I am talking about.
>>340095506
the third eye represents Mean Look. It's my favorite part of the design.

it isn't an antlion or some shit, it's a stag beetle. I'm impressed they made bug/flying his useful with that ability too.
>>340096447
Doesn't make it wrong though does it faggot? I understand that you're still mad that your mom bought you digimon for christmas and not pokemon, and the kids at school made fun of you, but you don't have to showcase it so clearly for everybody in the thread sport.

He's a fucking danger, nothing too serious but big enough to be a threat, and nothing has come close except the surprising red fight in hoenn. Aftr that gamefreak gave up on making a decent rival/enemy trainer.

The everything past Gen 4 has never had types based on what they're meant to represent. Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are Water, Steel, and Ghost not because of Space, Time, and Antimatter but because of the three states of matter.

So? It's a thing that happened only in Kalos and only with a Greninja that bonded particularly well with its trainer.
Why the fuck would Pikachu transform?

Kindly fuck off and kill yourself.
Wait so now you get a free Rotom to act all annoying n shit?
>>340098095
that design looks FUCKING HORRIBLE
>>340098975
Yes but he hasn't, and instead it's just done the exact same thing for roughly seventeen years with no real improvement or anything else of note.
>>340099121
I don't know, why the fuck would Greninja transform?
>>340098275
>couldn't think of anything interesting to do with any of them
They are making an entire anime arc about them with more story than either XY legend. They could have easily translated that into the games, they just chose to scrap it to shit out SUMO for the 20th anniversery.
>>340099221
except you cant use it for fight. he isnt technically part of your team

>POKEMON SHOULD BE BASED ON ANIMALS
>alright
>NO CREATIVITY
>>340091561
you can do that with literally every gen
>>340099278
Okay great, something in the anime which most people over the age of eight stopped bothering with after realising they're watching the second most boring MC after Ghost Rider.
>>340099247
Because they've shown an old Greninja do it and it's a legend in that particular village?
It's like asking why Mewtwo got two megas, they wanted to market it and it's popular so they gave it two. Greninja is popular but there was no new game, so they're marketing it with an anime thing instead.
Is there a fangame with all pokemon catchable?
>>340099278

*raughs*
>>340099471
What the fuck does that have to do with anything? My point was they clearly had a story arc in mind, and saying "they didn't know what to do with it" is wrong.
>>340099554
I just have one question
Whats stopping you from using your old bros in the newer games? You guys act like the old ones were removed from the game

So they are blatantly ripping-off Yokai-Watch now right?
>>340099669

What are you trying to prove here?
That's a well designed spiked character
>>340099562
>arbitrarily associating terms with /r/eddit
Go back to /r/eddit.

The Litten one litterly looks like something out of Ben 10
>>340098275
anti-zygardfags are completely delusional.
You go on ahead thinking it won't play a huge role in Sun/Moon. Don't complain later to me though
I cant wait for Pokemon GO™
>>340099796
Just like the megas.
>>340087636
Do you even know wtf it does?
Raptor protip: You don't.
