>Literally just a Legendary Metagross
What went wrong?
>>26602518
Should've gotten tough claws or something
By that logic, Mewtu is just a legendary Alakazam
>>26602518
Lore wise. Solgaleo is not a Metagross.
I expect the core three (Satoshi Tajiri, Junichi Masuda, & Ken Sugmori) to retire together or within months of each other soon after Gen 7's release. They've progressively had less responsibilities in game development (of their own volition) in recent years, grooming their successors. We've gotten hints like Yusuke Ohmura being heavily involved with art direction from BW on & Shigeru Omori handpicked as director for Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire by Masuda himself. I can't recall the context, but I remember initial discussion about "Pokemon Rainbow" included something hinting toward a "final game" -- but I could be misremembering. With Iwata's passing and recent infrastructure changes as Nintendo that looks like the company could be steering towards a sales-motivated direction instead of the innovative-focused one they've had for years, there could be other reasons why they step out beyond the fact that 20 years is as good a time as any to hand over the reigns to someone else. It's possible the re-release of RBY was also the beginning commencement of their departures.
Sugimori has said he wants the series to revert to simplicity design-wise and Masuda's focus is on a bigger platform to get players out of their houses more. Design-wise, Ohmura's contributions are promising (XY legends) & Omori has shown he's capable of great ideas like DexNav.
I think it's time the series changes hands because I think the series needs it. We've had some great ideas but the last three generations generally do not rank as most user's favorite from what I've observed. What I don't anticipate is the end of Pokemon -- no chance the franchise ends regardless who's in charge.
What do you think /vp/? Are you ready for a fresh direction or do you fear the series will lose guidance?
Nah and the franchise is perfect as it is.
I fucking hopeso. Damn old farts keeping theirjobs for way too long has always been an issue with nippon
>>26602455
I honestly think the Pokemon franchise will end after gen 10. At this point there will probably be over 1000+ pokemon and I don't know how much longer they can crank out the same game with little changes here and there. I love the Pokemon franchise and I honestly would embrace change, but what can they really do?
At some point it has to end. Unless they are willing to spend lots of time making really top-notch quality games and be okay with not releasing a game every year or so.

Samurott is Wasted Potencial: The Pokemon. What could have been a badass Water/Fighting Samurai became a quadraped stupid animal. Its basic physical shape inhibits it from doing any swordfighting.
Its design is garbage and it ruined it's evolutionary line.
Thanks for justifying this copypasta.
He's beautiful in the sense when everyone shares videos of deformed babies/children or ugly women and calls them beautiful in a weak attempt at self-righteousness.

She divorced him and got made because he was playing around with too many other hot ass female Pokemon, not his fault.

Doesn't mean he can't still fuck her right in the pussy
Kukui is the first professor that really emphasizes field work and actually getting hit by pokemon. It's cool that he seems to have a different angle to his research. What's more interesting is his field of study.
Moves.
>Professor Oak of the Kanto region, who studies the relationships between Pokémon and humans.
This was a big theme of Gen 1, with the bad guys being bad because they mistreat their pokemon. It also ties to the conflict between nature and technology.
>Professor Elm of the Johto region, who studies Pokémon breeding patterns.
This was the first generation to feature breeding. Pretty important.
>Professor Birch of the Hoenn region, who studies Pokémon habitats. This is the first region to really try to make it seem like pokemon live in many different places. Also ties in heavily to the theme of land vs. sea vs. sky.
>Professor Rowan of the Sinnoh region, who studies Pokémon evolution.
Sinnoh featured huge amounts of evos to previous pokemon.
>Professor Juniper of the Unova region, who studies the origins of Pokémon.
This was a reboot so studying origins makes sense. Also all of the lore about original dragons and such.
>Professor Sycamore of the Kalos region, who studies Mega Evolution and change.
Fucking mega evolutions.
>Professor Kukui of the Alola region, who studies Pokémon attacks.
Why moves? What could possibly change?
I'm calling it right now that double type moves like flying press, and moves with far more varied effects will be far more common.
Not only that, but Marshadow will be a fire/dark type, with a fire/dark signature. This move would be 4x effective on both box legends. The story likely will revolve around Marshadow and the evil team attacking the box legend.
Given that Mars is called the fire star in Japan it makes sense that they saved fire for him in the trio now.
>>26602126
Kek the mars mon will be fire type and the sun one isn't
>>26602126
Nice theory OP. I like it.
>>26602126
>Kukui is the first professor that really emphasizes field work and actually getting hit by pokemon.
No, that would be Birch, stopped reading right there.
>"The Pokémon designs are shit"
>"YoKai's designs are so much better"
No-one has ever said that you faggot

>"YoKai's designs are so much better"
Did any person on this planet ever said this?
I want to dick a Yokai
I've been playing Pokemon for more than 15 years now. I've played RSE countless times. I got ORAS during its release. I've done almost everything and nearly completed every single thing in the game. I've been enjoying competitive battling ever since.
A few minutes ago, I decides to finally get all the Plates in the game. I was looking up info about the Iron Plate and realized that it was held by the Beldum given to you by Steven post-game. I thought to myself, "Surely I have that in my bag since I got the Beldum after I finished the League." I checked my bag, and it wasn't there. It was never there to begin with.
I fly to Mossdeep to Steven's house. Guess what I found?The Pokeball that contained Beldum.
Post your epic fail stories if you have any. Feel free to judge me any way you want, coz even I can't believe myself.

Slavs have steel colored eyes that reflect their complete and utter lack of a soul

Green/gray eyed slav here. Can confirm.
They were there the whole time.
Pyroar was a red herring.
...no.
>>26601574
No way.
Top left looks nothing like Lunala.
I came up with a theory.that I literally came up with whilst taking a shit
Lillies symbolise purity and beauty. "Lille" is a corruption of "Lily", therefore, Lillie is the corruption of purity in Alola.
"Hau" means "snow" in Hawaiian, which is often attributed to purity as well. Hau is the one to put a stop to Lillie's corruption.
Lillie is also Kukui's assistant, who studies pokemon attacks. Lillie is obviously using this to get to Solgaleo/Lunaala and their attacks that disregard abilities to corrupt Alola
>>26601564
Not if I corrupt her first with my BWC.
>>26601601
The fuck is Kekui doing?
