Which final evolution let you down the most? Pic related for me. Even after seeing Quilladin, I still held onto hope that the final evo would be worthy enough to choose Chespin. But holy shit, he looks like a retarded football player, and that color scheme..
>>
FUck you OP i love chestport

>>25879212
dont worry. when sun and moon come out. people will be talking shit about the new thing and only bring up "chestport" to be a hipster insulter.
>>
>>25879196
Complete opposite of me. I laughed out loud seeing my rival send out Quilladin and then ate my words later when I saw Chestnaught. Actually almost regretted picking Froakie. Almost.
>>
Serperior, it is literally the only grass starter final evolution that I hate.

How you feel about Chesnaught is how I feel about Snivy's line. Love Snivy, but the other two are dogshit that need to burn.

I avoided spoilers for this gen and when I found goomy I knew it had to be the pseudo legend (weak as hell dragon type that late in the game and all).

When I was told it's name was "Goodra" I was expecting it to keep the snail motif and turn into some dripping hydra abomination....but instead I got this.

It's not a bad design by any means, I just feel like it was a missed opportunity for something much more.

I picked Chespin because he looked the cutest.
I argued on /vp/ like a mad man saying he was the best choice
Then Quilladin came out and argued even more because he was even cuter and looked silly as shit,
THEN THIS FUCKER COMES OUT AND I CANT EVEN DEFEND IT. FUCK WHERE DID IT GO SO WRONG

I prefer a pokemon to not look like shit than to mimic real life, if i've conceded that azumarill is acceptable despite rabbits being entire terrestrial and not blue, then i can accept that chesnaught would look better, say, with its shiny coloration

at least chesnaught and delphox made the starter choice easy

Same here. They're both step downs from Fennekin. I remember really hoping it would remain quadruped. No guarantee that would have saved the designs but I think it would have an improvement.

I don't know about you guys (and I can understand disagreement) but I think I'm ready for a gen without standard starter mons, and instead having an Animal Crossing esque personality quiz at the start to determine which starter to give you, out of hundreds of possible mons (not all lines are in the running because balance but the idea is that there are tons of possibilities)

Nah, starters are part of the experience. There's ways to get most Pokemon as starters if you don't the like any of the set.

Yeah I know but when you do a replacement it feels kinda like a trick / not genuine, and you still won't have them from the Very Start. I don't necessarily think they'd ever do it, but Game Freak has loved to challenge series conventions lately so it's not totally impossible.

I know no one agrees with me, but i liked samurott. oshawott had a pretty bad design imo but i always go with the water starter, so i picked him. Once i saw dewott i thought it looked pretty cool, he looked a lot more martial-arts-like, kinda like a watery jackie chan. Then he goes full samurai with samurott, and it seemed fitting to me. But that's just my unpopular opinion.

>Chesnaught
>Worst Starter
Anon, I hope you're baiting, because that's just plain wrong, dummy. Chesnaught is clearly one of, if not, the best starter, In all regards.
Let's look at his strengths, shall we?
>God Tier Design
If you haven't already noticed, when the Kalos starters were designed based off the traditional RPG class trio: Fighter, Mage, and Thief. They made a mistake while designing Chesnaught, though: fighter doesn't begin to describe the depth of devastation this burly motherfucker this giant hedgehog beast is capable of wreaking.
For instance, his base attack is 107, which might seem mediocre until you remember that this spiny bastard's secondary type is fighting, which is ONLY ONE OF THE BEST OFFENSE TYPES IN THE GAME, NIGGA. Every fighting type move he can learn has great power which gets multiplied by 1.5 thanks to STAB, which will then be doubled if it's super effective.
He's also got a fuckhuge movepool. Notable attack types they have access to include Flying, Psychic, Electric, and even fucking Ground, which just so happens to have FIVE fucking types it's super effective against. They can even learn Giga Impact NATURALLY. Other poke's who can do this include two t-rexes, a pterodactyl, a gigantic fucking golem, and the GOD OF LIFE ITSELF.
But we're far from done here, because he's also got access to Belly Drum, which raises his attack stat not one, not two, but SIX goddamned stages. In other words,you'd bolster your fucking britches if you want to survive two rounds with this recipe for anal annihilation that tastes like every mistake you've ever made mixed with your parent's disappointment.
Goddamn, just try to look at that muscly fucker with his tree-trunk limbs for more than ten seconds and tell me they don't fill you with the fear of god. In fact, Chesnaughts are all so fucking manly that even the females have sick-ass beards that grow into their heaps of chest hair. He's also got a great shiny sprite to boot.

>>
>>25904121
>Coolest gimmick
Pokemon have the unfortunate tendency to have pun names that describe what they are. For example, Blastoise is a turtle with canons on it's back.
That's probably why Chesnaut's name is derived from things that are un-fucking-stoppable, because his thing is that he's a tough nut to crack.
For starters, he's got THE BEST BASE DEFENSE OF ANY STARTER, at 122, which is pretty dope when you consider that most fighting types have less than 83 at max lvl. In fact, the only one with more than him is Coballion, who's just barely better with 128. That's right, a LEGENDARY VIGILANTE SWORD HORSE is only MARGINALLY more sturdy than a glorified hedgehog. And that's not even taking into account the fuckhuge shell on his back.
Now, we've already established this dude's a beefy bastard, but if the pokedex is to be believed, and it should be, considering they're used frequently by professional scientists, his shell is harder than a diamond with a dick. It lets Chesnaught do some crazy shit. For example, the best Chesnaughts, when pushed hard enough, FLIP AN ENTIRE TANK by running into it. Think about that for a second: 50 tons of guns and steel, flipped all the way OVER by this Golaiath of a beast. Not even a goddamned NUKE can stop him: All he has to do is duck into his shell for a bit and he'll be more than fine.
Now wipe the jizz off your screen. I know you just came after reading about one of the best Pokemon, and we're not done yet.
You Good? Great, Now go get something you can clean up cum with because it's about to happen again
Alright let's go.
Chesnaught has a second rad as fuck gimmick. Se the green sections on his arms? Not only are they known for being tough as fuck and beefier than your mom's gaping uterus, but he can also spawn LONG-ASS SPIKES from them.
His (previously) signature move, Spiky Shield is just him connecting his arms so the needles form a wall of "FUCK YOU" to any and all physical attackers.

I guess honestly the only genuinely bad starters are Emboar, Samurott and Delphox. All the others are either good or mediocre at worst.

>Still Gimmicks
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Well, if he's stacked up physically, I'll just use a special move. I mean, he's only got average special defense, so I should be fine as long as it's super effective. I also enjoy violently gobbling huge cocks and can only get off with anal stimulation". Well think again, pussyfart, because Chesnaught CAN ACTUALLY BECOME IMMUNE TO SOME SPECIALL MOVES. And I don't mean with Protect, Spiky Shield, or Quick Gaurd (that's right, the Bravest Bird of 2013 can't one shot this guy), I mean he won't take any damage from it. It's his hidden SIGNATURE ABILITY, Bulletproof. Put simply, ANY BALL MOVEOR BOMB MOVE WONT EVEN SCRATCH IT WITH THIS ABILITY. Shame, considering how much you love you some balls, don't you ya massive faggot? Don't even try to attack this guy if you're not prepared, because he will give you 17 new assholes and rape every single one of them.
>He's great in universe
I know my description of them makes it sound like they are living proof that God either doesn't exist or never loved us,but they're actually gentle, kind hearted creatures that only attack when threatened and to protect loved ones. Good thing you're one of those as the one who turned it into a Chesnaught in the first place. Imagine, Travelling the world with a your giant, fuzzy, manly hedge-bro who is also nigh indestructible and can charge or block anything that might try and hurt you.
Just look at this big, lovable fucker.
Wouldn't it be the tightest shit if you watched him lock proverbial horns with a Pangoro and then proceed to throw him aside and finish him with a Drain Punch?
Wouldn't it be Rad if you paired him up with your Aegislash and made him a real knight?
Wouldn't it be great if he just hugged you close, pushing you into his soft, scraggly chestbeard while you gazed up at the stars after a long day of hunting for Pokemon? Yes. It would.

If I had to redesign Emboar, I'd make it a Fire/Ground quadropedal razorback. With similar proportions to like, the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Make the furry "razorback" and its tail flames and keep the brown color scheme. Would be fucking great imo.
>>
>>25905567
He has the same basic proportions as Blastoise, Empoleon, and Chesnaught.
And the designs are meant to reflect pro-wrestler wear, while the swirl calls back to a Greco-Roman design where such grappling originated. So there is reason to it.

Swap out the medieval theme for a pro wrestler theme. Emboar just has fucking shit proportions and all those shapes and designs all over it are awful. But if you remove the shapes and lines and change its proportions and shape, you basically get an entirely new Pokemon i.e. Emboar is shit and can't be saved.

Also
>pro wrestling fire pig

>>
>make the razor on its head firey

I did.

All I'm really getting from this is that you simply don't like bulky proportions and patterns. Which is all I really wanted to know anyway I guess.
>>
>>25905864
Bulky proportions are completely fine. The problem with Emboar is not that its proportions are bulky, like you said, Blastoise is bulky, its Emboar's own individual proportions. Bulky proportions are not inherently bad.

I would
>give Emboar a pig head, not just some guy's head with a pig nose pasted on
Honestly, that right there might make it twice as good. It's that awful little head. It's so ugly I hate looking at it.
>give it a pig head
>broaden its shoulders
>drag some of that bulk up to its upper body
>make its legs SLIGHTLY longer

Also, it's based on Zhu Bajie and the pro wrestler thing is subjective.
>>
>>25905917
>Also, it's based on Zhu Bajie and the pro wrestler thing is subjective.
No, those are theories (Pignite is very obviously wearing a wrestler singlet which supports the idea). Liking/disliking his head and proportions are subjective. I was just curious to see the viewpoint.

It's previous evos had a good ratio of cute to cool, and then it just turns into that. I feel like I'd be more okay with him if he was bipedal, because then he'd make a bit more sense and I could fathom how he uses slashing and cutting moves. It's really a shame, he had potential.
