why do capmons always have big beefy hp stats
>>
>>24690394
Easier to minmax the base stats. You only have to increase HP instead of both defenses.
>>
>>24690394
They're designed to fulfill metagame niches and nothing more, having large HP more often than not helps whatever the CAPmon is trying to do. The design is just putting a face or mascot on everything else. That's part of the reason why, as pokemon, they seem really wonky and MarySue-ish.

>>24692451
If it didn't have that generic cute pose it would look pretty good. I would love to see a crystal sprite of this
>>
>>24690338
There's quite a lot of them that don't really fit the given abilities either.

is it wrong that I actually like the design?

Also every fucking pokemon is rock and/or poison

Why would you decide a Pokémon's stats BEFORE designing the Pokémon? Isn't that the complete wrong order?
>>
>>24697746
It's really irrelevant which order you do it in so long as one reflects the other.

>>24690338
>Oburonyxo

Where your were when Smogon ripped off Clover/Sage designs?

>>24697746
Thats the GameFreak's way silly

Smogon obviously knows better

This one's really good, I think. The others are more shit than usual, for the most part. Yilx's mega is too overdesigned but I like the base form this time. Else, the decision should be pretty easy.
>>
>>24692439
wow, that one has way better concept art than any of the other ones
>>
>>24698227
No matter what, they'll choose either a shitty deviantart tier one or the waifu one

As long as the sprite ends up looking good, I'm fine with the waifu one.

None can top Necturna though. I wish shewas a real Pokemon.
>>
>>24698303
but that's because you're a degenerate pokephile
>>
>>24698308
Not at all, she's just cool as hell and well-designed for once.

Definitely a waifumon but there's nothing to fuck anyway. And by "real", I just mean having her in the game.
>>
>>24697746
Not necessarily at all. I'm 90% sure that's how Gamefreak designs things like Mega Beedrill and Ferrothorn.

Hell, Mega Flygon probably already has stats if they said they basically would've had it in the game, but you know what part they're stuck on.

except that's Dark/Steel, not Rock/Poison.

A lot of the designers seem to have trouble making megas.

This one and its mega are the most interesting to me even though the art isn't great.
>>
>>24699106
A bear inside a block of amber with spears in it?

And it turns into a bear holding a haunted lollipop?

Seems like a Yokaiwatcher not a Pokémon
>>
>>24698336
If they'd stop using such obscure typings we'd at least get some propositions that are things. A poisonous rock based creature isn't much to go by.
>>
>>24699106
It's actually kinda cute too.
