I like them
What's the problem?
I like the hippy dragon. Also you know this game is meant for 8 year olds right? Why do you care?
Top right looks pretty rad.
Are these the new chinpokomon?
>>343287710
I like them. Except that disgusting fish.
>>343287710
TWO BORBS
I think we all can agree that pika metal is the WORST pika clone in the entire franchise.
>>343287793
I will concede that this is not the most terrible design. Not that guy but I have to admit I don't immediately start heaving when I see it.
>>343287710
Top right and bottom left look amazing. Bottom left is so cute.
Tumblrfish
>>343287939

I could get used to some of those, but the pikaclone is just fucking stupid.
>>343287882
It's just emolga who has eaten a big ball and never recovered
objectively correct rating that is indisputable and not an opinion coming through
>>343287834
Chinpokomon look more like real pokemon these days then actual pokemon does.
The irony is incredible.
Yellow fly a best.
Electric bug looks cool.
Grandpa cloud dragon is fine.
Fish is cool for the memes.
>fat emolga
That tribal thing looks like shit.
>>343288001
Every gen gets a pikaclone . Best to just ignore it since there usually terrible save for Emolga.
>>343288027
Uncheck the borb and check the hippy dragon and you've got the objective rating.
>>343288027

>>343287978
This exactly
>>343287710
can't post here but that fish ins a carbon copy of /d/ related inanimate transformation hentai. Where a girl gets turned into a fleshlight.
That mothbird thing and puff the dragon are cool as hell.
i dont know WHAT the fuck they were thinking with that shemale fish
Well, this is pokemon. There has to be fodder somewhere. I think all this is great tho. That fish is gonna get mad rule 34 too.

Those unironically look like an attempt to grab the Yokai Watch audience.
>>343287710
I knew we would be getting a humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa pokemon (trigger fish) but that design is meh.
Everything else looks tight as hell, goodra and grandpa dragon can hang out, and that electric bug is fucking awesome.
Also tribal pokemon reminds me of sigilyph
>>343287793
Why is he listed as Vikavolt? It says Kuuganon there.
These are yokai watch tier designs and names. My biggest gripes are the grandpa dragon, gay fish, and pikachu ripoff.
Grandpa Dragon COULD of been an awesome design if they just followed a more oriental design, but for the sake of "damp" it looks very hanging, and just overall too round of a design. Gay fish is just bad, and pikachu rip off doesn't need to exist. It's also lazy. Simple shape with very plain boring colors.
The others are acceptable. The only one that's actually an alright design is Tapu Koko and to some degree Vikavolt.
>>343288572
Because japanese and english names for pokemon are not always de the same.

But seriously though, I always see people complain about how the games are getting shittier or more casual, and how they need to do self imposed challenges to make it fun.
Why complain about a game you clearly outgrew or purposely play the wrong way just for actual difficulty?
>>343287710
At first sight the only one I outright disliked was Tapu Koko. And in all honestly it will probably grow on me eventually judging by the fact it looked a bit cool in motion.
Hippy dragon is by far my favorite, and I don't mind the rest.

>>343292002
When people complain about the games getting easier or more casual, it only shows that they're not taking into account the fact that they've grown up and developed.
You have far more intelligence now than you did when you played pokemon for the first time at 6 years old, of course it's gonna be easier now than it was then.
That said, I still play the games normally and have a great time with them. Even though I know that I'll be having an easier time with Sun now at 22 than I did with Blue when I was 5.

All wrong.
It's a triggerfish. Which is getting a very appropriate reaction.
Haven't played much since Gen 1.
Why do new pokemon look so overdesigned?!
I know there are a hell of a lot of the fuckers now, but I find it hard to believe that there isn't still lots of great design inspiration to be mined from natural history and mythology, without having to spurt superfluous over design all over their faces.
Pokemon seem to no longer have any sense of aesthetic continuity. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
They no longer look like they're from the same universe or the same game.
What the hell happened in the last 20 years /v/?
>>343291878
>4
t. modshroom
>>343292506
To be fair, /vp/'s fakedex probably took even longer than GameFreak's normal dex making cycle, and probably had a lot more people polling in on the designs, and we're all pokemon fanatics here instead of corporate think-tank men in suits.
>>343291073

>>343292539

>>343290207
I agree.

>>343292539
The new pokemon aren't just overdesigned, many of them are just detailles blobs with sticker eyes too.
Honestly these designs seem like they'd work a lot better in 3D.

>>343292949
Nah gen 3 is my favorite actually and pokemon designs really started going downhill around gen 4 onwards, but you'll just cry genwunner and keep eating the shit gamefreak feeds you so why do I even bother.
>>343292002
People that complain about the games getting easier are retards who aren't accounting for new audiences, the general shift of the games gearing players to competitive play more than singleplayer experiences and better technology that can incorporate all these "casualizing" features that were literally impossible when they were kids.
If anyone wants a challenge out of Pokemon romhacks fill that niche nicely but the games have never been challenging to anyone with half a brain. When I was 8 the most challenging thing in Pokemon was the god awful EXP distribution leading to having to grind if I wanted my "dream team" back then and I sure as shit don't count grinding as difficulty or am autistic enough to consider it "bonding".
I'm in my mid 20's and I haven't bought a game since gen 3 but I've played all of them and still manage to enjoy them.

>>343293316
what? we don't know shit about the fish's speed and priority moves don't work. so if it's scarf and goes above, what, 394 speed (t-flame's max), then surf will likely KO. if not, rocks are out and the bird is dead anyway.
>>343292930
I hear people saying he'll be Fire/Dark because its based of the "tiger mask" or some shit, and it represents dirty fighting.
In the picture you can see him both spiting and smashing a table over pikachu, so here's hoping
>>343293310
I didn't say there weren't any, I was reflecting on how garbage the pic was.

The only one from OP's image that I liked. I also kind of like his unevolved form too.
Some of these are cool, but to me the claim that "new pokemon are cutesy digimon" is finally definitely true.
I disagreed with that statement in G3, I disagreed in Gen 4 although I saw it was moving nearer. I disagreed with Gen 5 and I even overall disagreed when mega evos were introduced, even though it was with a fraction of a hair's distance. Now it's for sure.
Why do jap designers always end up doing this?

Fixed that for you. GameFreak is in charge of making the Pokemon, so there's no "they're supposed to be" bullshit. What they make is exactly what they're supposed to be, so quit whining like a fucking child. If you don't like it, don't play it.

Everyone shits on everything past gen 2 for this reason. Sure, older gens weren't all gems of pokemon, but the theme or rather, bulk was that they were everyday animals turned up to 11.
Today then with each gen there after, they kept getting crazier and more cartoony. Kids today will deny it though and call us genwunners or say that past pokemon were shit too.
They're partially right, but at the same time, mostly wrong.

The dragon is really weird.
It would be a decent design if it had any detail at all to it, but instead it looks like it's a gummi candy.
You people can't seriously be defending that square watermelon bus thing. Not only does it look retarded but lazy as fuck as well.
The other 2 candidates are the dragon and that lgbt fish.
The rest are ok, specially that bug.

Subjective and an empty statement at that.
They arent "supposed" to be anything besides what Gamefreak makes them. You just liked the old style and thought they would keep using it forever.

Drampa, Cutiefly, and Vikavolt are fine, with block bug being passable due to evolving into the beetle.

>>343295170
Gen 2 was garbage anyway. Easily the worst generation. The only good ones are Scizor, Heracross, and Ampharos. I can see why he left.
Don't like the fish, but I like the rest. The dragon is close to being really fucking neat, but I can't think of what's putting me off. Thought it was the eyes and spots, but I'm not sure.

Possibly. But I like that they take that direction. It would be even more same shit every generation if they didnt.
>this thread again
Pokemon now sucks, it sucked as much when we were kids but since we were kids we were able to look past all the flaws. Instead of improving they kept the same fucking formula for 20 years. Most of us went past it or play one pokemon game once every blue moon just to check a little if things changed. Some others didn't.
They only thing that changed was the art style Previous pokemon were raough, animalistic looking and in general I could believe in their existance. New pokemon sucks. We all know this, and with all I mean everyone with half a brain. The autistic pokemon fanbase will keep denying this and nitpick the stupid shit of gen 1 because lel they are trash too!!! without understanding that it was made 20 years ago and having shit years ago doesn't excuse having shit today.
Take this shit to /vp/ and stay there.

>>343296539

That's the best part. So many faggots here know that what they're defending is shit, so all they can do is strawman pokemon unreleated because they have no proper arguments

I continued to play after the Pokemon fad had ended. I've been asking myself this same question, as the original artwork for Pokemon like Gyarados and Nidoking were just as design heavy and messy as the likes of the new monsters of today.

Top-right and Grass Starter are the only ones with a good design so far
I wanted to like this Gen, Nintendo. But you had to fuck it up because you want to over-cartoonise every single design
>>343287710
Zygarde Gundam, WEWUZfish and fat squirrel are the only ones I dislike. Snoopdragon is probably the only dragon design they've done right since at least Gen III. Hoping they release a newer, better 3DS along with Sun and Moon, that way I can actually buy one finally

I don't love pokemon but I wouldn't say that I dislike it. I said that it sucks because it's entry level JRPG, an already easy genre. Hating it it's like hating a Disney movie; it's made for kids and I'm not the audience becuase they didn't try to cather to me.
I see that you take offense with my post but you cannot answer why in a straight way beyond going straight for an insult and your assumptions. Only people who keep being obsessed about pokemon and cannot understand that things need to improve with time are autistic. It's been 20 years and there's no improvement, in fact we all can argue that it got worst. This is the only franchise to my knowdledge that has adult fans who not only accepts this, but actually celebrate it.

>>343297694
if you look at the modern portraits of those pokemon, they still maintain soft/warm colors
Compare this Squirtle to Popplio. He has this insanely deep blue that you would rarely see on a mammal.
>>343297942
And squirtle has a strange light blue pigment that you never see on turtles.
I don't think you're very good at this, mate.
>>343297942
Because turtles are naturally sea blue, right?
>>343298047
At the very least you had to narrow it down to turtles, Popplio's color literally doesn't exist anywhere that isn't on poisonous toads or butterflies.
>>343298108
And that's why it's interesting to look at.
>>343298108
Then I'll expand it to reptiles, since you used mammals. There are no blue reptiles in the world.
>>343297942
You would never see purple on a mammal either.
>>343298108
Not to mention literally every other pokemon on the chart. That cat with red stripes? That bug? The fucking legendaries with really contrasting color themes? Compare those legendaries to Ho-Oh and Lugia or hell even Groudon and Kyogre.

Eh, I don't really fell them. I don't want to come off as bitter here but I don't like a lot of new designs. But at the same time I didn't like anything revelead from XY either and then Pangoro and Hawucha hit and were my favourite designs.
And I want to say that mega Heracross looks fucking stupid, basic one is my fave design.
Who's your faveourite /v/?
>>343298393
I choose lighting giving a dark-skinned animal a light blue look.
There are no blue reptiles.
Funny how /v/ and those obscure 90's faggots from youtube comment sections are the only ones who are critical about newer Pokemon designs.
Really makes you think, huh?
>>343298295
Gen 6 had around only 70 new Pokemon, mostly because of the need to make models for all pre-existing Pokemon
At the rate Pokemon are being revealed for gen 7 it will no doubt have well over 100 new Pokemon
>>343298461
It's a normie meme that new pokemon designs are bad
what the fuck are you talking about
>>343298447
Why does everyone shit on Megacross? It's literally the most perfect evolution, a stag beetle into a hercules beetle.
>>343294451
Gotta say tis is the strongest explanation. Realistic proportioning is a bitch to implement for some piece of plastic junk a kid will trot about for five seconds and then throw away. You don't put works of art in McDonald's happy meals, you put something with a lot of immediate superficial appeal that costs nothing, and screw lasting value.
What I noticed looking at old pokemon in the new 3D handhelds vs newer designs is the dramatic difference in posture. Even new pokemon that don't look that cartoony like Sawsbuck look like fucking tables, they way they stand compared to a comparatively simple old pokemon like Ponyta. This is another cheat - a cartoony design with odd posture isn't glaring like a realistic design stood wonkily, and so it makes both the 3D designer's jobs easier as well as the toymakers.
I wish Nintendo had an incentive other than... this. If it didn't take these cost-cutting measures, Pokemon would be buried under cheaper and more marketable knock-offs like Yokai Watch. We're in a real Moloch here.

>>343297484
Sure
1- Actual story
RPG have a story, this is a fact. We've been fed the exact same stuff years after years. I heard that it got a little better in black and white but then it went back to the same old ground. Andn o, they don't have to chaneg the entire game or ideas, make it star as a kid leaving your home village if you want. Just give us something on the way, something to push us forward, something better than shitty teams.
2- Post content
When I played esmerald years ago I was pleasently surprised with the battle frontier. It's hard, it's deep and it's fun. But they never bothered to do something like that again. Why? Because fuck you, that's why
3- Legendaries
Fuck them. There are way too many legendaries, they fuck up the story with their bullshit and in general they suck. You can't even use them at all because they are banned everywhere, so you just get them and put them in a box. Instead of legendaries have pokemon which are harder to catch or require specific shit. The game is about catching pokes right? Make up some stuff beyond hitting them and throwing pokeballs at them.
4-Natures and trainning
Raising every pokemon should be possible, maybe not competitive in PVP but you have stuff like catching a massive amount of X to find the one with the good nature. That's shit imo.
5-PVP
You know the factory stuff from battle frontier? Implement that online. So long for the fucking minmax bullshit, now you play with tactics and RNG. You can keep a constructed team too if you want, but give us the option of something like this.
And that's it from the top of my mind.

Flat bill, rounded bodies without elongated neck, flippers on both front (no wings) and hind legs, lack of feathers at all. But no, tail breaks the deal for you.
Face it, they're Platypus.

Gen 5 was so kind to bugs.
Hopefully 7 is as well.
>>343287793
isnt this gen 7 now? it looks exactly the same as gen 6
>>343300268
cool story
>>343300698
What lipstick?
>>343300896
What do you mean?

everything im seeing of the gameplay there.

fucking kek
>>343300961
He means that it looks like a gen 6 game, and he thinks this is a new thing, because gen 2 definitely doesn't share the same exact overworld as gen 1 and its battles are the exact same with new sprites.

why

mad
>>343300026
Why is that a problem? The Gameboy was very limited on handling design detail. If that wasn't the case, Gyarados back then wouldn't look like its trapped in a box.

I can't wait to catch one of these guys and teach it hyper beam

Stop the presses.
>>343301505
It's not a problem, just that it's ridiculous that people still insinuate that the new pokemon are designed just like the old pokemon
>>343292539
because there's more room to actually design shit and add details to the pokemon, noe that there's no limitations on what they can add to a sprite. They're hardly over designed, but just because it doesn't look like "muh nostalgic gen one" doesn't mean it's over designed. having details below isn't being over designed. Although some modern pokemon are a bit over the top, I'd rather have that than minimalistic things like Voltorb and Grimerbut that's cherry picking.

It's an odd numbered gen. I doubt it.

>That image
That guy typed a whole lot while making not point whatsoever.
Here is what is said
>Psyduck is "fleshed out" because...
>Ducklett is lifeless and poorly thought out because...
>IT'S ALL CORPORATE GREED
The guy literally made no argument. What actually happened was Japan likes their shit round and simplistic, so we get more of that as time goes on.
>>343287710
They all look like my half ass attempts in elementary school to draw new Pokemon... So yeah they look like uninspired shit.
>>343302463
>people think that Pokemon weren't cartoony
>>343287710
So is the thing of the far right bottom a hedgehog or armadillo?
If it's the former than ooh-boy is Christian Weston Chandler gonna sue.
>>343292245
megas were a mistake
>>343292506
But that doesn't even look remotely good or like a pokemon
this will be the first (mainline) pokemon game i dont buy on release

>Remember that one of the bosses in Dead Rising 2 is a blatant expy of Chris.

Holy shit, Chris is going mainstream. Documentary film starring Patton Oswalt when?
