Final stage pokemon that look worse than their pre-evolutions
OP thats not Chesnought.
>>25651213
Ok post one
>>25651263
i don't get this meme
>>25651263
>>25651307
the only two that fit op's description so far
Fucking Barney
>>25651213
I remember seeing frogadier and thinking, "Wow, this is gonna be one of the coolest water starters yet!"
Boy was I wrong. Fuck Greninja.
where the fuck did the fluffy ears and tail go
>>25651213
>>25651263
>>25651290
Oh look it's this meme again.
>>25651274
Chesnaught is perfect. It manages to keep the dopeyness of Chespin/Quilladin while also being fierce.
Is that its tongue around its neck or a scarf?
>>25651274
How dare you
why, your peanus weenus of course :)
>>25651398

This

looks like something out of hamtaro
>>25651338
Looks fucking terrible compared to dragonair, plays fantastically. I forgive it.
>>25651213
Chesnaught, Rhyperior, Leavanny come to mind.

>>25652447
>>25652460
Frogadier is fantastic. Greninja was just a disappointment.
>>25652481
Wrong.
>>25652502
>>25652509
You've got shit taste to be entirely truthful with you, family.
>>25651392
This is the first time I've ever legitimately laughed at someone's opinion on /vp/
Holy fuck thank you.
Aromatisse
>>25651398
ABSOLUTE
>>25652522
SHIT
>>25652570
TASTE
>>25652584
KILL YOURSELF
>>25651386
>>25651426
Kill yourselves. Not even for disliking based Garchomp, but for implying that he doesn't fit his evolutionary line.
>>25652542
Says the one who thinks Wavile isnt GOAT.
tbqh, clan, you should be ashamed.
>>25652584
>shitting on Armaldo
>>25652652
Who said anything about shitting on? I just think it looks worse than Anorith, not that I hate it.
>>25652637
I like Weavile, but it is straight up a visual downgrade from Sneasel. Asymmetry > symmetry.
>>25651263
This is pretty much the only 3 stage line for which I dislike all of them for vastly different reasons
>>25652421
>Rapidash
How does it look worse than Ponyta? It's the same exact thing but bigger and with a horn.
>Manectric
Nah, Electrike's head and body shape are awkward as fuck, plus why would a pure Electric type be green?
>Unfenzant
Looks prettier and more inspired than it's prevos, specially the male
>Simisage
You list Simisage but not the other 2 even though 'Sage is the by far the best looking one?
>Haxorus
Definitely looks a lot better than its prevo
>Chestnaught
Only interesting/cool looking one in its line
>>25651213
Obligatory
>>25652631
I don't dislike him. I just thought Gabite perfected his line.
>>25651263
Absolutly not
Samurott isnt exceptionally great, but its pre-evos look terrible (mainly because of their awful color scheme, which was fixed in Samurott)
>>25651307
This shit is so awful
Rhyhorn looks like Lairon and Rhydon looks like Aggron
They even evolve at the same level
They should have given a pre-evo to Rhyhorn similar to Aron in Gen IV, not an ugly trade evo to Rhydon
>>25651418
I can't quite hate this thing because the steam shovel ears are great.
>>25652705
You got some hateboner against the Japanese m8?
>>25653350
it's not the japanese theming that ruins samurott, you dip
it's the total species change
>Cute sea otter
>cute sea otter that looks like the beginning of a badass, samurai armor wearing sea otter

which of these is out of the fucking blue, motherfucker?
>>25651398
this so much
it's the red 'fan', change that and it's fine
>>25653350
>not fighting type because of emboar
really needed that 3rd fire fighter didnt you GF
>>25653547
Are you seriously complaining about species change in fucking Pokemon?
>>25653350
I really like the concept, and the first two evo's
but oh boy
oh man
that fucking unicorn seal is fucking shit
fuck samurott
>>25655615
Not the same anon but it is kinda bullshit given the trend
Oshawott and Dewott were originally following. Sword welding is sorta a bipedal thing (because you know, you need hands grasp a blade.) and
Samurrot kinda feels like it forces itself with it while trying to pull the unexpected thick body and quadrupled stance. Its like "hey I can still sorta use these large shells swords if I push myself, but my body sorta restricts me to being on all fours now". Just clashes and doesn't mix. If it just kept a slimmer body and the stayed with its bipedal stance like its past duel wielding evos, bet it would get a lot less hate.Do agree complaining about the species change in a pokemon evolution is silly though.
>>25651213
Swampert
>>25653547
Samurott is still an otter, just a more realistic interpretation of one compared to Dewott. Also some obvious inspiration from sea lions in there but a single Pokemon based on two animals is not foreign.
>>25656861
no, you stop right there. actually, swampert is my favorite pokemon, and marshtomp is the weakest link. you're certifiably insane if you think it was better
>>25656777
Why anon?
>>25657610
Typhlosion is the most prominent example of "It just gets bigger".
>>25657610
I prefer quilava's design and typhlosion is just the same thing but with less and bigger.
>>25651338
Someday it will get a split evolution designed like Dragonair, with Levitate since Dragonair is known to float/fly. Screencap this.
my friend actually restarted his Ruby game after he saw what his Grovyle evolved into lol
>>25657697
Your friend has shit taste anon, Sceptile is a baller
Like 95 % of Pokémon? I guess I'm a sucker for NFEs, it also adds a bit more challenge when you don't evolve your pokemon fully in a run.
>>25657748
>>25651213
Mid-evo fags are the cancer of the Pokémon fanbase. Do the world a favor and kill yourselves.
Fatter rodent
>>25657697
Your friend is a cool guy. Sceptile is a smug piece of shit and Grovyle had more potential than that.
>>25652522
heliolisk is way better, i couldnt even tell that the floppy eared yellow thing before it was supposed to be a lizard
Mah lazer
>>25657809
>implying being Smug is a bad thing
There's a reason why the Smugleaf meme took off.
>>25656565
>that fucking unicorn seal is fucking shit
Its a mounted samurai otter you fucking shithead. Dewott was the foot soilder/samurai under training
>>25657820
It always reminds me of those Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
Rhydon and Rhyperior
>>25652631
Garchomp is the literal definition of overdesigned. From Gabite to M-Garchomp the only real difference is that they add more spikes and make it slightly larger.
I was so disappointed
Krokorok looked badass, and then we get this blood lizard wth
I don't have any pictures of Whoreges, so I'll post the better mid evolution
>>25651263
yeeaaaaah! You did it, marvelous anon!
I read op's post and said to myself "some memetic asshole will post samurott" and you fucking did it. First reply, to boot! Rock on, you memespouting drone!
>>25651325
Good taste.
>>25652502
This. Why did it go from, single color eyes, to blind then big "cute" eyes.
It it had no eyes or they were green like goomy I would be happy.
>>25658253
I don't get it.
Samurott, is pretty fucking ugly.
>>25658253
"I don't like a thing so I must be memeing!" :^)
>>25658348
How is Samurott ugly?
>>25651213
Most Pokemon.
90% of Pokemon look best unevolved and get progressively uglier, especially starters.
>>25658482
t. furfag
>>25652421
Pretty spot on, anon. I disagree with having sceptile and feraligatr on that list. I think politoad is sweet too, but it should have been it's own mon, it's design breaks too far from poliwrath.
>>25652481
Are you kidding? Weavile goes from peasant Indian to full blown Comanche chief. Get educated familia
>>25658466
This. I don't know why people consider this thing to be "unappealing". The samurai armor and beard makes it look like an experienced warrior. And the natural sword motif is icing on the cake for it except it they're actually remnants of the scallops it used to fight with.
The design is fine.
>>25658077
It would have been infinitely cooler if it wasn't painfully four legged. Imagine a slightly buffer sceptile as a frame. Because lady time I saw a samurai de pectin fucking anywhere, he wasn't on all four. REEEEE
>>25658552
The only problem with Samurott are its stats.
>>25658466
>>25658552
Personal taste. You guys can like it. But when others dismiss gripes with. "LOL EPIC MEME SENPAI" Then it's pretty shit.
For me, I hate a few things about it.
For starters, it's not that it went from 2 to 4 legs. It's the posture, the thing looks like it spread it's legs to far and fell forward.
I don't see how it could be a functional sword fighter like that.
Secondly, the facial hair. The tuft under the chin is fine, as is the mustache, but the Massive side tufts under the chin bother the fuck out of me.
And finally the helmet, It's fucking stupid.
But that is just my thoughts on it.
I respect your opinion.
>>25658571
This. He is not a fucking horse back samurai.
He looks NOTHING like a horse back samurai, If someone can show me how it is that. Then I will take it back.
>>25658589
Top half(from head to neck)= Warlord holding his spear(which is why the helmet has a horn as samurai helmets also had pointed crests. Its mega evolution would probably split it to 2 crests resembling a maedate crest).
Bottom half(rest of the body) = Horseback functionality. Its not the horse itself, it does the 4 legged movement like the horse. The samurai-style armor came from the Scallop’s defensive benefits. Part of the armor becomes a sword because the scallops provided offensive benefits as well, which is why it can still use it’s blades like a shield and a weapon except now you can finally see the part(unlike it’s pre evos as you would need to see how they used their shells).
Greninja looks good in art, and in smash.
But his render in the actual games looks awful. Specially apparent in pokeamie. Just looks like it's made of a bunch of simple shapes glued together.
>>25657769
Ugh, this so much.
Pumpkaboo is so fucking cute, and then Gourgeist is just... what? I think the weird hair arms arethe worst part.
I actually don't dislike Dusknoir's design at all, I just really don't like how it completely phases out the skull motif of the family. Duskclops was already losing it, but it at least still had the teeth. Dusknoir looks like it could be a totally unrelated ghost.
>>25658769
So much shit taste in one thread
>>25658810
Get that ugly thing away from Pumpkaboo.
>>25658784
mega would fix that
Eviolite Dusclops is better than Dusknoir anyway sadlt
>>25658737
No I don't see it.
If they were going for that, why not just make it a fucking centaur. If the top half was the warlord, Why doesn't it use it's stupid beard sides to hold the sword or some shit. At least then I could sort of see it working.
>>25653547
"which of these is out of the fucking blue"
Their all blu, i dont get what your saying??
>>25653547
"which of these is out of the fucking blue"
their both blue, so i dont get what your saying??
>>25658077
I understand what it was supposed to be.
But its design is terrible, and does not communicate the "mounted samurai' effect very well.
>>25658012
WHAT A BIG PIECE OF ABSOLUTE MOTHERFUCKING SHIT POKEMON.
>>25658552
>>25658466
the helmet is shit
the double mustache is shit
it should be on two legs
>>25658822
actually its not anymore, dusclops is very weak to knock off which is everywhere. Dusknoir is currently B+ in Pu whereas Dusclops is only in C
>>25658849
>why not just make it a fucking centaur
Don't even go there anon. Are you serously asking for it to resemble a freak of nature? Just no.
>Why doesn't it use it's stupid beard sides to hold the sword or some shit.
The "beard's" purpose is to give an appearance of an experienced warlord, not some unusual functionality shit that came from someone thinking outside the box.
Besides it uses the swords as a surprise factor as an opponent wouldn't expect to eat long distance slashes when approaching a Samurott. And can't it move semi-bipedally with long distance blades anyway? It can use it's swords just fine.
>>25651213
This one
Fletchinder > Talonflame
>>25659101
This right there. I at first thought the same as everyone else on the board, that the design was stupid, but seeing it in action in the anime blew me away, and the whole "samurai on horseback" thing reinforced it.
Honestly, the design was backstabbed by the game it's in. You don't get to see Samurott rearing up on its hind legs, shellsword in hand, ready to defend its honor, because the battle sprite doesn't allow that.
>>25658253
Samurott is pure fucking garbage aesthetic wise. Quadreped swordsman? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. Its proportions are shit too
All gen 1 starters
Shitty opinions the thread
>>25651213
Pic not related?
>>25659169
>Quadreped swordsman? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
But quadrupeds can't dual weld faggot. If it really was a quadupedal swordsman, then why does it clearly carry two blades and is capable of welding them feasibly?
>>25651263
>Quadrupedal
>Stub limbs with no joints
>Higher Sp. Attack than Attack on a fucking sword-wielding sea lion
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>25651398
Wrong.
>oh my qt water spider is evolving can't wait to see what it turns into...
>oh
>well it maybe a bit ugly but at least it still has a unique typing...
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>25651213
This travesty, all the way to the bank
>>25662492
This is why cross-gen evos (besides eeveelutions) are no longer a thing.
>>25662518
Some cross-gen evos are awesome, though, even from the same gen.
Mamoswine and Electivire spring directly to mind
>>25652730
Haxorus looks like dog shit compared to Axew and Fraxure
>>25660022
>spider
Ok.
>Masquerain's typing
Yeah Bug/Flying was not what I thought it would be, Bug/Water would have been so much better for it.
it was so cute before

>>25658348
You can dislike Samurott. That's fine. But when it's constantly the first pick for these threads, when these threads are made almost exclusively to mention how shit Samurott is, it's become a meme, and you have become memers.
The fact that people seriosly consider Samurott the worst Pokemon when there's shit like Seel out there ensures its memedom.
>>25662674
This is how moon people are.
They bash people for not having their same taste.
If they thing it is fugly leave them be.
Then again this thread is fitting for you, hating on things.
Typical moonfags.
This is why I get sun, I am not an intolerant cunt that bashes and hates on everything.. well I stereotype but who the fuck don't?
Everyone in this thread need to kill themselves immediately.
>>25662691
Never have damage control been looking so sweat tearing.
big surprise, many people don't like samurott.
Just get over it.
>>25651386
That entire line looks like shit.
Okay, I guess Gabite is borderline acceptable.
>>25653350
>pokemons retarded evoloution makes sense because of some unrelated real life conection to things the pokemon resemble
fuck off octillery shitter,
>>25662726
The fuck did you even say.
This is an English-speaking board, hombre.
>>25657686
FUCKING THIS. Chikorita and Bayleef are perfect, then suddenly its entire body turns green and it gets a dumb pink flower around it's neck. why?
>>25662807
Watch yer mouth you tiny chinko
>>25657697
stop hanging around autists
>>25651398
I have always found Weavile's design awkward and unimaginative. They just took Sneasel and gave it a weird, dumb-looking fan in its head instead of the original's feather-looking thing. I was honestly surprised to find out how many people adored it.
>>25656777
It's amazing how much I disagree with you. I love my giant volcano honey badger. By far my favorite Pokémon of them all.
>>25657619
No, not really? It's very distinct from Quilava and Cyndaquil, but they're just similar to each other to look like a believable gradual evolution. They're even based on three different species (an echidna/hedgehog hybrid, a stoat and a honey badger). They really only share color palettes and the fact that parts of their bodies are on fire, but even those are different in each.
>>25651418
This so much. Bunnelby should have evolved into something that looked more like Bugs Bunny
>>25657686
The lack of a leaf on its head is probably the worst part. The flower and recoloring of its eyes and body is also ridiculous
>>25657769
Looks like a rejected VeggieTales character
>>25662534
Mamoswine and Electivire are both hideous
Their eyes mostly
