So why does the bear look like absolute garbage, yet the living rag looks great?
I don't fucking know how your brain work man, I ain't a psychologist I can't tell you why you like one more than the other fuck off.
Extrememly clashing colours, too simplistic and that white thing makes no sense
I like the bear. It's fun.
>>27129034
the bear looks like one of those old licorice mascots
should've been fairy/fighting
>>27129164
I don't give a shit what it's based on. It looks fucking awful. The bear's head looks like it was pasted on in paint.
the harsh line where the bears head meets it's body is a bit offputting but that might also be because of the dark background.
>>27129085
>too simplistic
oh fucking fucks people have been attacking gen 4-5-6 pokemon for years for being too complicated
can we just accept some specific level of simplicity/complexity or is nothing ever good enough?
the ear things are interesting. sort of like a wrestlers head guard? i'm not entirely sure.
>>27129248
The two colors clash a bit too much together. Its back is entirely pink bar the arms and legs, it should be the same from the front desu
>>27129034
well the cosplay ear headband thing is probably the biggest issue i have, short of that it might have been salvagable
>>27129243
>Red pandas are related to bears
Thanks for highlighting your low mental capacity.
>>27129470
Don't forget, Owls are not birds, and Alligators are lizards as well.
>>27129470
Pandas = bears, red pandas are bears.
>>27129417
why is this flower pokemon yellow? the yellow looks bad next to the green they should have made it bright red or purple.
>this is how stupid you sound
>>27129034
Cuz ghost type is awesome!
>>27129515
This has to be bait.
>>27129248
There's a difference between simplistic in the gen 1 sense (basically looking like they could be real world animals but with a slight inventive twist) and TOO simplistic in the sense that the Pink Panda just looks like perfectly rounded shapes that were stuck together arbitrarily. It looks almost like a balloon animal or something.
>>27129034
Really, it's meant to look like a theme park mascot which is probably why it has that off-putting gaze and an obsession with hugs.
>>27129503
Nigga, the red panda is closer to Otters and Raccoons than bears.
It's REMINISCENT of bears, and affectionately called bear-cats, but they aren't actually bears.
The red panda has no actual relation to greater pandas.
>>27129591
>it's meant to look like a theme park mascot
why do people keep saying this
>>27129687
Because that's what the design is based on, and why its super simplistic.
>>27129164
Bibarel looks closer from that than the crap in OP pic does
>>27129164
>Woah, just take it easy, man
>>27129248
Rockruff is simplistic in the right way
This thing is simplistic in the "a kid drew it" way
>>27129034
This... this is a joke, right?
These aren't REAL pokemon. Just silly fake leaks, right? Haha! Great joke guys!Please?
>implying a big guy on an emotionless cute suit able to make dust of your bones isn't a great pokemon idea
You people disgust me.
>>27129677
lol do you have a degree in biology or some shit? get lost nerd
>>27129810
I work with real red pandas, actually.
>>27129797
The rag mon is supposed to be a ghost seeking the love and popularity Pikachu has by wearing old merchandise from the past twenty years, if that helps.
>>27129797
>not even liking the Pikachu mimic
loser
>>27129810
I do actually
I kinda like most of the new designs but they're really going more down the route of weird/highly precharacterised designs of Yokai Watch.
>>27129034
Because of the lore behind the little
ghost fairy.
spectre faggot.
Inspector Gadget
>>27129891
>>27129867
It doesn't look like something that would be a species, though. An entire species of pokemon that specifically use pikachu merchandise? And the bear just makes me feel fucking sick. It's just a fucking bear-shaped blob with a bunny ear headband in a desperate attempt to look cute.
I'm normally the one defending new pokemon designs, but these are inexcusable.
>>27129810
I'm an actual red panda
>>27129843
>>27129945
what the fuck
The killer plush is cute, if they don't release a decent sized plush of it they fucked up forever.
Mimichu is just great period.
>>27129963
>an entire species of caterpillar that specifically pretends to be a viper?
>>27129164
If it looked more like and actual Red Panda, then it would be the best cute mon ever. But that bootleg assatry we got is unacceptable.
>>27130063
These aren't even remotely similar.
If it were a ghost that looked like a mimic pikachu, that would be one thing. This pokemon specifically uses man-made merchandise made twenty years ago. And nothing else.
>>27129034
One of the reasons why I like the bear is because now people can't say anything about current gen pokemon being "overdesigned" and shit. I just want to see how both of these pokemon are animated.
>>27129963
>An entire species of pokemon that specifically use pikachu merchandise?
Shuppet is the same doll every time. All those pokemon wearing the exact same clothes. And besides Pikachu merch is the teddy bear of the pokemon world, even the real world has enough to make this shit feasible.
As for the red panda, it is supposed to be based on a theme park mascot that you want to hug. Acquire taste, or at least basic design sense.
>>27130104
>This pokemon specifically uses man-made merchandise made twenty years ago
Which means one of two things: it's an actual new pokemon or an old pokemon that adapted to the new age.
Either way it's a nice reference to actual irl evolution
>>27130104
>This pokemon specifically uses man-made merchandise made twenty years ago
1. That's plenty realistic.
2. It actually makes the cloth based on the merchandise. Even uses a wooden stick for a tail.
Pikarag is great but that bear is definitely a shit design
>>27129750
look at it again from the side view and coloring scheme. if you still dont see it you might need to check your eyesight...
>>27129963
It's almost like there are a plethora of creatures in real life that look like/mimic other creatures.
Who knew that fiction could imitate life?
Who knew that a fictional creature could disguise itself as something else, in a world where said creatures live in close proximity to humans?
Not to mention that who knew a ghost could do this kind of stuff? Impersonating objects and other things like that.
>>27130093
Because it's based on a Red Panda
and this guy
>>27130104
You realize that Pokemon have been region specific since the age of time but by the time we played red and blue only 150 had been discovered. We all know that was horse shit by now. There's probably thousands of others that currently exist but "lol no one knows except for the people in the regions they exist in."
>>27129034
The bear is amazing. It's literally my mom's red panda but pink instead of orange. It's the epitome of what people have been fucking asking for since gen 1; looks almost exactly like the animal it's based on, no unnecessary/stupid random shapes or spikes. You'll grow the fuck up and love it like you should when you see it in action.
>>27129034
You are telling me that a pokemon that looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old looks great? What a shit taste.
>>27129417
That's not its front, that's its tummy.
>>27130246
Stop using words you don't know the meaning of.
You guys had terrible taste. Both mons looks fine
>>27129503
Yeah, and tomatoes are vegetables because you put them in salads. Fuck off.
>>27130282
What word in that entire post could you possibly think requires more than a first grade level of knowledge to understand?
>>27130104
>This pokemon specifically uses man-made merchandise made twenty years ago
Hermit crabs will use beer cans and other man made products.
It's only like making a pokemon species based off that.
It's the lack of a visible mouth/muzzle that gets me.
>>27130301
There are fruit salads though and you also put croutons in salads.
Give some other examples of non-bear bears.
Failure to communicate on the bears design. You need to know its extremely dangerous as it treis to hug everything to death to understand it.
it's first mistake was not looking as adorable as pabu.
>>27130207
Less it more those sorts of mascots period.
>>27129034
hugbear is good.
autists are just triggered because the bear is not edgy, and it's cute but it's not a gardevoir clone, so it can't be waifued as easily
>>27130207
>cartoon bear
"it's based on a cartoon bear"
no it's not. that's like saying daffy duck is based on donald duck. they are both just cartoon versions of ducks.
Can't you guys keep it to one thread?
>>27130246
>It's literally my mom's red panda but pink instead of orange
t. never seen a red panda
This thing has nothing in common with a red panda bare the color scheme
>>27129963
I kind of agree with the bear, despite that being part of its intentional design.
I'm glad the pikachu merch mon exists though. It's the first ever meta pokemon, its design literally says the pikachu merch was popular "20 years ago." The best part is it was still given a description that justifies it as an actual pokemon instead of just being a meta reference mon.
>>27129164
My thoughts exactly.
plus, it seems to ve wearing a mask.
>>27130452
What DOESN'T it have in common with a red panda?
the bear is an example of how cute some animals may look but are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided. think of monkeys and they're brute strength.
>>27130450
No.
Welcome to /vp/, GO player. Where any new hint of possible information floods the otherwise dead catalog.

A red panda is not a bear.
>>27130505
Size, hears, shape, colors, face...
>>27130539
Pandas were actually recently reclassified as genuine bears.
It's a common misconception that they aren't.
>>27130537
I don't even own a smartphone.
>>27130565
Red pandas are not pandas.
>>27130506
Strong monkeys (Chimps, Oran-Utangs, Gorillas..) are not cute, they're among the ugliest creature on earth
I guess people aren't big fans of bear mascots these days
>>27129034
Because James turner designed the ghost type and John Gamefreaks 3 year old son the bear.

James Turner hasn't designed anything half as good as Pikaboo.
>>27130676
Red pandas belong to their own family, but they're closer to raccoons than bears.
A red panda is not a panda.
A red panda is not a bear.
>>27130625
>mascot
seriously why do people keep saying this
it's like calling grumpig a pig mascot. it's not a mascot. it's just a pig,
>>27130595
what i'm trying to get at is that some people think it's a good idea to mess with these animals because they peak their interest on some level and look harmless.
>>27130676
You're an actual retard.

all bears in japan are mascots?
>>27129034
In my case, it's the weird headband thing and how sudden the cut off with the pink is - It's like Monokuma had a very special sibling who wandered off onto Gamefreak's computers
>>27130863
Are you retarded? They say mascot not because its a bear but because it looks like a mascot of an amusement park. Get out from your basement some time for your own good, dude.
>>27129963
Eh, the Pokemon itself is the black shadowy thing that we can't see. The stuff it wears is more like, say, a hermit crab. Makes it much more excuseable
Still not sure what the fuck is up with the bear, though. People saying it's supposed to be a mascot seems more like they are going, "Oh! Yeah! It's INTENTIONALLY bad looking because it's clearly a mascot!"
We don't know enough yet to even tell if the mascot thing is intentional or if people are just deluding themselves completely
>>27130935
dragonite kind of looks like a mascot too
>mascot
You people don't need to reach so hard to justify its design, it looks fine.
>>27129034
Both are the shittiest designs ever made in Pokemon.
>>27131030
Can't argue with that, at least you get the point
>>27129963
I agree with you anon but it seems everyone would eat any designs up
This is the first time I'm hating pokemon designs.
I even like Garbodor and Vanilluxe.
>>27131048
Not when the entirety of the Unova dex exists.
>>27131104
the point that pokemon and mascots are both cartoony versions of real things? i thought that was the opposite of your point.
>>27130577
Neither do I baby.
Neither do I.
>>27131108
EVERY POKEMON TO 1G TO 6G ARE BETTER DESIGNS THAN THOSE TWO.
the bear is supposed to look uncanny, I think. it's apparently incredibly dangerous and known for tearing shit in half.
the design itself is shit, but I think it fits the lore quite nicely.
>>27131173
>it's apparently incredibly dangerous and known for tearing shit in half.
It's not "violent". It just wants to hug people but it ends up killing people via hugs.
>>27131472
holy shit, that's even better
>>27131837
>People in Alola are scared of Kiteruguma to the point of having warning signs about it. It is really strong and can break anything in two. It likes to hug its trainers but is strong. Raising one puts your life in danger.
