Aloha Forms, Z-Moves, and Gumshoos Trump's Final Form

Gen 6 was Digimon
We Dragon Ball Z now, motherfucker!
Another generation gimmick that's going to have a much easier way of doing in a future game.
Maybe they'll give new Sp. Atk Ice moves?

We already talked about this yesterday.

The problem with having one off gimmicks and only affect a handful of Pokemon is that it's going to be shoehorned in every game and it will feel out of place. For example just look at Leafeon and Glaceon evolution, you can watch evolve them unless you go to a specific place that has a certain Rock. Why not just make it like the other forms or just use an elemental stone?

I don't like these "alola forms" they look lazy.

This will be the best gen since the 2nd gen.

That specific rock takes no effort to program in though, and it's not like they won't have a forest or cold area somewhere in the game already.

But gen 4 was the best gen.

...

I fucking hated that shit, especially since leaf stone is something that already exists, and adding an icy stone or something like that would just give Ice types a chance to be better than the hairy pieces of shit they are right now.


They're new forms for older Pokemon user, they're lazy by default by not just creating new Pokemon instead. The tripe about giving old Pokemon new life only exists if the new form gives some kind of absurd stat improvement like with Kangaskhan, and even then it fucks with the original's aesthetics.


I haven't been on Holla Forums for a week, I just wanted to jump back in with something.
Any more good fluffy art?

Gen 5 added nothing of value and gen 6 was a huge step back. Gen 4 was the peak and it should be obvious to anyone who's able to evaluate the games from an objective standpoint.

Not as much as I'd like there to be.

Guess what? Kalos region didn't have it. It was impossible to evolve them in-game. That or it was so far off the beaten path that I didn't find it postgame, meaning you have to put in an absurd amount of effort for a one-off Pokemon that doesn't even matter. Not to mention that game had at least 6 empty one-room caves for muh events.

Wow great sense of exploration there

So are these like new pokemon or what?

oh no this has never happened before

There's a video in the op explaining everything.

Except it didn't explain what they were entirely, it just called them alola form, what does that even mean?

w e w
Are we gonna argue about how fucking unbearably slow Sinnoh was, again? What about the changes to experience, or breeding, or the new battles types, or seasons, or dark grass, or infinite use TMs? This is all worthless?
Fuck off.

I really want region based variants to stay at the very least, it can help old pokemon to finally shine compared to the mayor fuck up that was mega evolutions giving already powerful pokemons more broken forms.

but then again they didn't bring back following pokemon so I have low expectations of being back in other games


Mah Nigga


pokemon variants based on region basiclly

In every other game, transferring your Pokemon let you evolve them in the new game. Glaceon and Leafeon literally cannot do that under any circumstances, so if you want to have either for any reason probably shit taste then you have to fucking farm them out back in their original gen.

I like the Exeggutor but the others seem kind of pointless.

Certain gen 1 pokemon were given different typings, abilities and possibly base stats if they're native to the region, but exact details aren't fully known.

The slowness was fixed in platinum and one could argue that infinite TMs actually took a strategic aspect of the game away. Meanwhile, gen 4 had the phys/special split and fucking wifi functionality, buth by far the most important additions to the series.

No other pokemon evolves like eevee. Also I just spent all of 2 seconds looking it up and both rocks exist in kalos along with hoenn in or/as. You're just retarded I guess.

They probably exist primarily because muh unique typing.

>ITT: genwars waged by people who don't even play the games

Nah, reusable TMs probably should have been present from the start. Its one of the changes that felt necessary. Of course this came about because of tourneyfags, but how stupid would it be to play through a 40h game again just to get another copy of a move?

Wars are not fought by the old white men who sign the papers, either.

Autism

ice vulpix is best new polemon

Almost as stupid as not just using pokesav back when it was piss fucking easy to do.

Yeah, one could argue that, but I'd consider that person to be a fucking idiot. Single use TMs were awful and I don't miss them at all. It would take a strategic aspect of the game away if they removed HMs, but I'd be happy to see that shit go, too.

Gen 4 did the physical/special split and added a whole bunch of stupid shitmons and a boring region. It felt like they spent all their effort on the split. Meanwhile, they weren't busting their balls trying to add a groundbreaking feature in gen 5, so they were able to concentrate on making an very solid addition to the series with a ton of new pokemon and abilities.
Gen 5 took most the garbage of the previous generations and refined it.
And then they come up with mega evolutions next gen because they have to add something this time. Swell idea.

...

Threadly reminder that Gen 5 felt fresh and exciting because it 1:1 copied Gen 1's designs

Are you looking for a fight?

...

Which Aloha Forms you want to see?

It had better not just be the fucking gen 1 club getting special treatment again, god damn. Generations 5 and 6 don't even have mega evolutions.

I hope those leaks aren't true and they're not wasting variants on shitmons like Ratata when there are 570 better pokemon who aren't gen 1.

That's a neat way of saying rehash.
Literally the whole of gen 5 was legit rehashing.

Also

>It's based on food? >Exeggcute vs Vanillite

Jesus, I don't remember that shit at all, and I played those games.

==WHERE IS THE VULPIX/ NINETAILS PORN?== yes I know kekitopu was a real nigga nd made some, but my dick requires more

...

...

...

Are you implying that the devs at GameFreak are the masterminds behind gen-wars?

The endgame is 90% tedium with no actual player skill required. Do you want to actually play a game or no?

The one thing gen 5 did right was try to use only new pokemon. A great idea but poorly executed.

He's 100% right you know.

To be fair, a lot of gen 1 pokemon really need a boost or something. Most were just given random stats and the few that are actually good just lucked out.

Just goes to show how shit gen 6 was.

I'm sure it's coming. Honestly kinda surprised there isn't tons already.

Here's your response.

...

...

Of courshe!

kill your self

...

I really do wish that for the new forms they would like have some sort of different way to classify them. Like give them a different name or something. With their new typings and looks they're basically different pokemon already.

You're not worth talking to anymore.

If you could erase any 10 pokemon what ones would they be?

Then people would be complaining about how they're just ripoffs.

Vulpix and Ninetails, especially the ice ones.

Someone's butthurt.

I mean, they could still make it very clear that these are just counterparts to the original pokemon there wouldn't be as much of a problem. People are going to bitch regardless, but I feel like if they had a healthy amount of new pokemon to add the backlash wouldn't be as hard. Judging by this trailer, it seems like they're really putting a lot of new stuff in general in, so I hope that the same level of quality is given to all aspects of the game.

6v6 RANDOMS ONLINE

THAT'S ALL I FUCKING WANT

NOT 3v3

NOT TRIPLES

6v6

Seems like every time a new evolution method comes out, a new Eevee evolution uses it. It feels a bit wrong, doesn't it? It's like they were changed to act as an advertisement or something. I'd rather have Espeon require a Sun Stone, and Umbreon require a Moon Stone.

It's stupid because I didn't even know there were Sun Stones

And yet, they could have used it perfectly well there, but nope! It's used by Grass types and Heliolisk(?!) to evolve. Why not just use a goddamn Leaf Stone?

we are getting battle royale that is basicly 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs1 I guess that's something.

...

...

...

The majority of the new designs are so bad and obviously barrel-scraping, that they had to redesign old pokemon

I kinda hope that instead of churning out 50+ new pokemon every gen, they instead make old pokemon with specific region differences like they did with vulpix, sandshrew and exeggutor here. That's a neat idea and makes sense, and they don't have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for more shit.

And it'll be filled with earthquake spam along with other such moves

>implying Gamefreak will ever touch gen 2 pokemon again

never post a picture from that webcomic again
personally i like the new art for the games, such as the overhead shoot of a part of alola and that has a bunch of kids and pokemon in it

This generation has Detective Columbo and a fucking railgun as the "shitty regional rat and bug" and you seriously want new versions of Weedle?

...

It really wouldn't. Plus, getting a mega last gen almost guarantees no variant this gen.

Gardevoir in a slinky dress.

While I like some of them as individuals, I don't like the concept itself. Older and weaker pokemon don't need a new fancy form with shit abilities. They need new typings(that make sense), moves, abilities and some even need higher BST or new evos. I feel like Aloha Xxecutor could have being a regular evolution.

I like the idea but know GF it will be a move with really high BP and will little. I do hope that important NPCs use it. It will be fun to AWAKEN MY MASTERS mid battle though.

Dead on arrival, unless they buff ice type but I doubt it. Defensive Ice Types will never be good. Just look at Avalugg

If it is fast and with high Sp Atk it could work. Will they give Fairy Type to regular Ninetales


I want this as well.

Mega Charizard-Y is best Mega Charizard

4th gen remakes have a chance of being gud

Oh yeah, I forgot Beedrill got a mega. I didn't really play gen 6, so I try and avoid talking about it.
Some older pokemon desperately need some revisiting of some sort. Preferably new evolutions, but an alternate form might do the trick.
When was the last time Ariados got some love?

...

No, just have old pokemon that aren't shit.

Literally never. And considering it's an early game bug that gf doesn't even intend for you to use past the first half of the game, don't count on it.

Pretty sure that's not what he meant.

I don't think a 4th gen remake will be good. Look at ORAS, if they do it, it will be a remake of the shitty D/P and have nothing of Platinum

...

...

...

...

Congrats on not embarrassing yourself this time.

...

Shit then, shit now, even with Platinum's minor improvements, one of the few good things to come out of Gen 4, Rotom, had his alternate forms locked behind a fucking event, that to my knowledge didn't even get distributed in the states, and stayed that way until HG/SS let everyone use it

only major improvement gameplay wise was sp atk/sp def split from the normal one

Locked behind a physical paywall.

I would archive this link, but archive.is appears to be down for me.
nintendowire.com/blog/2016/08/02/new-details-surface-upcoming-z-ring-accessory-pre-orders-live-gamestop/

You did it champ

Holy shit that's some next level kikery AND autism, Nintendo has finally found their niche

...

user its not behind a pay wall at all what are you talking about, its just a toy for kids to play along with

Upon further reading, you are correct.
It is not required to use the z-move.

disregard me, I suck cocks.

you might be right, I don't want to lose hope that these remakes will be better than oras and might bring battle frontier but knowing how gamefreak is giving less effort in the remakes I might as well give up that idea, I just don't want another fucking delta episode again

It seems to be a bracelet for kids that shines and vibrates when you use a Z-Move
It would be sort of cool if looked less plastic, I remember seeing some Mega Bracelets that looked pretty nice.


I blame Masuda, he wants the mobile audience. Him and the Nips being mobile loving casuals.

I like this ice Sandslash, but I can't stop thinking about how retarded Alola Sandshrew looks with its igloo head

I fucking love most of them, personally. All of the Normal types especially, because they're my favorite type.

i prefer this exeggutor to the original one

So how long until someone gets hospitalized for trying to use it as a sex toy?

everyone does

The article is very poorly worded anyway user, the author doesn't at all distinguish between the toy Z ring and the Z ring in game.
I kinda want one though

...

So what, you mean calling Sandslash Coldsteel or something

It is an adorable little parka to keep him warm and snug

gen 5 is the only one i ever just legit dropped and never went back to. something about it just bored the hell out of me.

...

I don't think it will, I mean, sure pokemon attracts autism like a flame attracts a moth but how retarded people can be?


Drampa is best, I love him. I will surely raise one, I hope that he doesn't end up being a shitmon

Is there any dragon pokemon that's really shitty?

I hope they do more neat things with natural evolution, like Gloom's always evolve into Bellossom in Alola becuase of the sun

Dratini

Now that's just straight up Falcor

Non-Mega Altaria and to a certain extent Druddigon and Flygon


I can sort of see it

A fully evolved one, jackass.

I said shitty, user, not okay.

Goodra.
Dragalge.
Flygon.

Dratini is cute as shit.

Flygon is a treasure, you bite your tongue

I never understood what Dratini and Dragonair were supposed to be and why they evolved into some dragon talls ass looking mother fucker

so much potential for ebins

They're based on some sort of snake or eel or something that turns into a dragon when it holds a special gem in its mouth.
I've probably got that story wrong, but it's mostly like that.

Battle wise Altaria is useless. Drud and Flygon have some uses but there are better choices.

Druddigon.

Sorta
It's like Lopunny in that it's base form is awful but its mega form is extremely powerful

but gen 6 did everything gen 5 tried to do better.

I used to think that way too, but after repeatedly finding examples of people successfully beating my worst expectations I've just come to accept there is always going to be one person dumb enough to actually do it.

Yes, Mega Altaria is pretty good but base form sucks

JYNX

...

what the fuck, it's just a white version of the same pokemon but with a gross fucking jew fro
you fucks have no god damn taste

I found Jynx's Alola form

But let's not forget about EXEGGLENT

After almost 1000 pokemon to date I'd say it's better than having to come up with new ones.

I thought I'd never go back after ORAS, but this game looks like it'll indulge my delicious brown fetish and my inner genwunner. Am I just Game Freak's bitch at this point?

Good man

it's really fucking not
it's a god damn palette swap


romhacks

You wanna elaborate a little sunshine?

really nigga

According a Japanese legend, dragons start life as wurms. When they reach 1000 years old, a gem drops from heaven. If they catch it, they become a dragon. If they miss, they're fucked and have to remain a serpentine trap, taking dragon semen for all eternity.

I know right, fucking palette swaps

here's the thing champ
there's more than one dog pokemon
and that's fine because they're not all exactly the fucking same species design wise
there's still a million fucking animals to make into pokemon and they make blupix

Yeah, that's it.
Generally, if you're asking yourself "what the fuck is this evolution", it's either a legend or actual biology.

For Aloha Ninetales and Sandslash, I would call it a new texture rather than just a re-color. I still don't like the underlying principle behind it even if the results are cute. I think they should let the old Pokemon be and if they want to make them relevant they should just fucking buff them.


You could do what I will do, Pirate it.

yes because the original was actually named redpix

that sounds incredibly lewd

it sounds to me like you just really want everyone to like wormadam 2.0 faggot

It's just a different form, chill out, man.

Eh He's part Steel so you never know

did anyone…just fucking know that you can buy breastmilk online? I know this is random as fuck but who the fuck….WHEN DID THIS BECOME A THING?

You can buy people online.

Those bats are 100% cute


Unless it has super high HP and its prefered defensive stat, it will suck. Its weekness are super common types that are used for coverage not mention it is shit ability, Snow Cloak
Ice is so fucking bad that not even Steel can save it. A good ice pokemon will never be a defensive one.

Personally, I think they should've given Ice/Steel to Kabutops. It's got the stats and the appearance to back it up.

you can only have 1 mega per team and the anim is like 3 seconds long. However these z-moves seem kind of annoying

While we are at it, this reemplaces the Gyms:
pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/the-rite-of-the-island-challenge/
pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/aug-1-captains/
pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/aug-1-kahuna/

IF we are lucky this reemplaces the HMs:
pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/aug-1-ride/

Detailed stuff on the Z-Moves:
pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/z-moves/

New "Gyms" will probably be railroaded segments that you can't fail, but I'm interested to see if the series takes this to other games. Riding was already in Gen 6, and it was trash. Maybe it'll pave way for your party Pokemon being rideable and them actually appearing ingame.

Suiren is pretty cute

pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/character/05.html

Neat.

...

That is the worst fate I can imagine.

There is gonna be so much porn of this installment, it's what I'm looking forward to the most about this game

I highly doubt they are replacing gyms, or at least permanently. They are almost as iconic as pikachu at this point.

And they suck. Gym Leaders and Elite 4 members are forgettable and, with a few exceptions, have nothing going for them. That's not even to mention the fact that just one or two Pokes with a type advantage are all you need.

I will admit that this trials can coexists with Gym but all seems to indicate that the main focus of the story is the Trials. Of Course the Aloha League could be the Post game but this is just wishfull thinking.

Well fuck you too Gamefreak.

I doubt the ones they showed are every variant in the game.

You muh dick faggots are a cancer worse than sjw. Please die.

I wouldn't go that far.
Unless it's NTR or loli

The troll fandom was a mistake

...

Discuss.

for the starts everything but the fucking buff cat shit looks so fucking retarded.

The so far accurate leak said the normal versions of Pokemon with regional variants have to be transfered in.

...

ah crap, i wanted evil clown so bad

Wow, that girl has three tongues! That's neat!

It says starters have 2 different final evos. It's still entirely possible to get your dumb clown.

TWO FORMS
killer clown is still silly
fighting cat is just wrong
owl seems to be the only one that has gotten any decent fake leaks forms

That aside, I refuse to believe in those evos until they are proven right.

After watching that video I can't help but to think that pokemon games are now officially dead.

Every time a new Pokemon game comes out the further away we get from all the qt3.14 Pokegrills and Pokeboys

Well currently all the evidence points to the being real so you better start getting used to them.

Why can't you just fap to pokemon like a normal person?

Until I see an official realease, I will believe nothing
Also, Pokemon are not for sexual.

...

the beef cake fire cat is literally the worst design i've ever seen worst then the pigs


fuck you I'm fucking this insect

...

If they change a few details like the hands being too big, I think EL TIGRE FURIOSO could be a pretty fucking cool design actually.
Hope you like being eaten afterwards.

What's it like having the most pleb tastes on earth?

I hope no one actually tries to believe this autistic spit balling as real.

gardevoir is the best

You don't know what any of those holes actually do.

You know that thing is going to eat your head afterwards, right?

as long as they are holes.

...

Those holes could be gateways to hell for all you know. You really gonna risk losing your dick for something so mediocre?

Leak says Fire/Dark

I finally almost have an entire team of Pokémon that I absolutely love, conceptually.

Gardevoir, Rotom, Lilligant, and now Mimikyuu. Only a few more generations and I’ll be able to fill it out.

You only like 4 pokemon?

When will pokemon just die?

when Islam takes over the west

I hope to god they don't make that creepy ass seal clown the actually final evolution of the starter water type pokemon


Please let quality control actually do it's job for once.

i want to fuck lurantis

The artist that made the clown already came out and said it was fake

Well, its only 20 years old and its already the #1 game franchise in terms of units shipped (Mario doesn't count because most Mario games are bundled with game consoles)

I mean, how old is the Simpsons now? 26 seasons and almost 30 years on the air? We have a long ass road of beating dead horses ahead of us, expect Genwunners to start the Dead Pikachu society to compliment the Dead Homer society

thank god

I want to HUGS ONLY all of them

Same

As in appealing to my basest, childlike “Fuck yeah, these are awesome!” sense, yes. There are plenty others I like. I enjoy the moveset of Sigilyph, Kabutops is cool, Wobuffett is a neat idea, etc.

In terms of absolute favorites, though, I don’t have a team’s worth yet.

...

I pity you, user. One day, I hope you can fill a team out.

So your inner child is a little girl?

I like this, the wild battle theme is bad though

The music isn't too bad actually. I think the problem is the 3DS' shit-tier speakers can never do it justice. I just play with headphones and its an entirely different experience

...

SEXUALIZE THE JYNX


i want to pet her, she looks adorable

Any random faggot from here could make a better pokemon game than gamefreak

What is pokemon clover before the exodus?

This is embarrassing, literal kiddy shit.

did you really forget what pokemon was all about?

...

Bravo, rather then doing something with Amiibos which many people have already bought they'll release their own physical DLC for it.

Amiibos might get something separate but it won't be as fleshed out as this looks to be.

It's just a toy that reacts to z moves, basically kid bait.

...

Sage is way better
8ch.net/pokemon/res/586.html

It was alright at face value but still shame now it's gone into maxim over meme now.

Oh shit I'm retarded never mind I got the 2 mixed up because I thought clover was the one everyone on youtube does when they run out of mainstream rom hacks.

B/W2 added the giant in game tournament with almost every previous elite four member and gym leader.

GEE user, I GUESS WE SHOULD GO BACK AND SCRAP BEARTIC AND PANGORO AND CALL THEM URSARING UNOVA FORM AND URSARING KALOS FORM
TRY USING THE GENWUNNER AND MUK/VOLTORD ARGUMENT NOW YOU CUNT

literal normalfag

...

:^)

Some of those pokemon designs are too kickass for this world, and it's a shame they'll never be in the actual games unless future romhacks really step their game up

...

Pangoro is a panda, user
And beartic fucking sucks

read the thread

I'm not the same user who was arguing with before you if you ever looked at id's.

You clearly need to take a break though if you've gone to all caps already.

In response to you argument? Yes they can be considered palette swaps at a very basic level but there is a bit more work then that done here. They've thought about typing and not just swapped colours but some parts of their design so they'll fit in the new areas they're filling up. Honestly I'm surprised Game Freak didn't do this sooner with the amount of Pokemon that already evolve or change to suit changes in their environment. (Ditto, eeveelutions, Castform, Shaymin) It's part of the games mantra about evolution so from a lore standpoint it actually works quite well.


You can also look at it as giving lesser used or known Pokemon another chance in the spotlight.

and dont forget about fucking arceus who's a literal pallet swap
yes, they did have different forms in the past
does that make crystal onix canon? i mean, did gamefreak took inspiration from that episode? was it the promotional pokemon GSC thing? i have confused feelings about this whole thing, like
can't they add more shiny pallets like that pink butterfry?

didn't know flareon was called eevee hoenn volcano form

i can get an even more retarded analogy now that type variantions of THE SAME POKEMON are canon
clefairy and clefable are hunter and gengar ghost form

So are mega evolutions abandoned now? I haven't heard about any new Gen 7 mega evolutions.

pretty sure they looking who to OP the fuck up so smogon fags get as buttblasted as meleefags are

I want to say no but Game Freak have consistently added shit and removed it by the next gen.

Since XnY and ORAS are so similar to Sun and Moon I have a feeling they'll stay in, for the sake of the meta they've created with them.


Eeveelutions pretty much beat all these new variations to the punch. The only difference is that the baby pokemon is already the new type, these forms don't evolve from one base stage. Not all of them anyway.

...

yah, bellosom and vileplume are the same pokeman variation

Sure if it really matters to you user

Pokemon is dead.

It wasn't dead when HGSS came with the pokewalker, even though we all know none of our fat asses move

Swift Swim tho. S-swift swim tho… ;_;

Why do ice-type pokemon all have to suck so much dick? Why does Weavile have to carry a whole type on his back?

I think Kyurem's okay, though obviously it's legendary
And Abomasnow got a pretty not-vomit-inducing mega evo, for whatever the hell that's worth

ITT: newfags and fucking retards who get triggered by toys as if Pokemon hasnt had fucking toys before

I swear to fuck you fags probably don't even play the games and only come to Pokemon threads to shitpost and jerk off to furry porn that's always posted. This is why Pokemon threads are always cancer: nostalgiafags and secondaries shitposting about games they don't play for 300+ posts.

It's a massive franchise, no shit, we're arguing about the ingame physical dlc not the toys themselves. It's interesting to see them doing their own thing, separate from the amiibos.

There is no physical DLC, that user was just fucking retarded

those bracelets are dlc like the rumble pak for the n64 was dlc

You absolute madman…

Oh I thought Z-moves would be locked unless you had the corresponding gem. Fuck me I wouldn't be surprised if it was the case.


If the amiibos do get a use there will be, depends how much papa Nintendo will push game freak to do it.

Altaria

it's not even a dragon, it's a fucking bird

is pokemon x/y worth the buy?

no

pirate it nigger, the 3ds has homebrew ready for months

No. None of the gen 6 games are worth paying for.

Pirate ORAS and install the romhack

You absolute madman…

what's so bad about it? i haven't really seen any gameplay or anything,

XY: Shit writing, bad difficulty, unfinished (tons of doors and things that look like they should take you somewhere but don't)

ORAS: bad difficulty; you get Latios or Latias for free out of nowhere because the writers were lazy

Easiest games in the series with less content than some of the older games. Once you beat the E4 you've got fucking nothing to do.

Fuck you, that was the best one.

so should i just get gen 4/5 instead then?

Yeah, Platinum, HG/SS, B/W and B2/W2 are all great games.

If you play B2/W2 get the Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 romhacks for them, the make already good games into one of the best games in the series.

Not gen 4 unless you have another DS so you can play something else while the pokemon are slooowly fighting.

This isnt even true

How about you just play all the games and quit letting retards on Holla Forums tell you what to do?

because i want advice from pro NEETs

XnY and ORAS both have little to no post-game content besides the battle mansion and one post game story quest each.

TL:DR Don't buy them

This is mainly because a lot of content from XnY was scrapped to make time to finish ORAS in the year after XnY released. This also meant ORAS was rushed too and both games ended up quite empty because of it. The bastards even hint at the battle mansion in ORAS being developed into something like the battle tower or the battle frontier.

Don't forget that both games are incredibly easy too because of changes to the exp share, so all pokemon in your team get boosted exp. As well none of the gyms in either game pose a challenge with not even either of the eighth gyms having a full team. Only the elite four pose a little bit of a threat and then you're handed a legendary on a silver platter before them which fucks up every opposing force after that.

Groudon and Kryogre are at least a little more difficult to get but they come with primal forms that fuck everyone's shit even more.

Nobody in this thread is a pro NEET

They're objectively easier than a majority of the older games.

You also have to be pretty deluded if you think gen 6 doesn't have less content than some of the older games.

This isn't true in the slightest

Speak for yourself

If the Day/Night form for the starters is true, what if Pennywise was the night-evo?

Seconded.
Not touching the new game until I see reviews.
Yet I also wanted to go sort-of-blind into it.

COPY THAT

oh hey guys, welcome to alola

You realize Pokemon is as hard or as easy as you make it, right? No fucking shit the game is easy if you grind a team of 6 Pokemon over 5 levels past nearby trainers.

It has more content than the entirety of Gen 1, Ruby and Sapphire, Diamond and Pearl, and Black and White. The games that surpass it are all Gen 2 games, their remakes, Emerald, Platinum, BW2, and ORAS. It's practically average in terms of content for Pokémon games.

Going into the games blind is always the best, but gamefreak just can't be trusted anymore
The jump to full 3D and the desperation to come up with new and fresh ideas is clearly fucking them up

user give up, he was faked

How does it feel to be totally wrong?

I don't know, how does it feel to have buyer's remorse?

I think the game is very unfinished, not necessarily to make time for ORAS but there is still content that has been cut out for some reason.

Why the fuck does pokemon threads have the worst drones that blindly eat up everything and argue when they are objectively wrong?
Like seriously every thread there are people like this that defend to the death gen 6's poor design choices and steps backward

You do realize that you can say that for 90 percent of games right?
Thank you for repeating what I've already state multiple times; Gen 6 has less content than SOME of the older games

please tell me they are scrapping mega evolutions, i hate that shit

nope

They haven't announced any new ones or talked about them at all yet.

They'd better not scrap it when there are three entire generations of pokemon that won't have any unless they're completely removing the existing ones from the game too.

user, you're talking about the company that refuses to fix things like Nidoran's gender and evolution lines with baby pokemon because the games that came before had already set those things in stone

I loved the new exp share, grinding is my least favorite thing in pokemon and requires no skill to do just repetition. What was shit was seeing that break the game, Game Freak made no attempt to make the game more challenging in response to this. Wish they had put in difficulty options or something.

That already implied that there was gonna be mega evos awhile back on that pokemon talk show they have in japan. One of the host was begging them to make Mega Weavile


They should have brought back Gen 5's difficulty options, let you pick them at the start and polished them to it goes beyond just fucking with the Trainer/Wild pokemon levels

Kind of amazing to look back at red and blue and seeing how the game was balanced around catching all the pokemon and leveling them as you go without having to stop and grind

By your logic this means all those games were unfinished. user, event areas being implemented into the game only for Game Freak and TCPi to decide to do some other distribution isn't anything new.

That user named a bunch of shit, you only have four examples of event stuff from entirely different gens, and event-only content is cancer in the first place

Don't bother arguing with him, the pokemon company is balls deep in his asshole. Sun & Moon could end up with a system breaking bug, and he would still defend it/say it's a good thing.

Now I like Weavile as much as the next guy but there's a lot of boys in the queue in front of him. What would you even add to Weavile to make him mega anyway? Fabulous hair?

...

It worked for ampharos

No; Boobies

Giant Fuckoff Claws I'm guessing.

No people who actively support series regression as a positive thing is a fanboy.

No battle frontier ever

Prove there's series regression

I wonder if there'll be any alola form legendaries
I kind of want a steel/grass groudon and kyogre to symbolize the struggle between nature and civilization instead of land and sea

Pokemon has a pretty big theme about living in harmony with nature, so I'd be surprised if they went for that sort of conflict. Besides, there are already legendary man-made pokemon to take that angle with.

Hardly worth the argument, they don't play the games, that means their contact with the series generally comes in the form of seeing the new designs. Which are not as good as they once were.
Personally stoked for 4v4 battles.

Then there's this kind of guy who probably does play it, butt fixates on the frontier which is somewhat likely to happen given the teaser in ORAS a feature that's wholly singleplayer and ultimately detracts from the theme of pokemon which is playing with your friends. This is a normalfag series at its core lads get the fuck out.

Exquisite


Those mega bracelets look kind off cool

Except they are, don't be a fag

If the games are all about just grinding up a team to fight in multiplayer, why the fuck should that grinding be boring? Your retarded argument makes it seem like you'd be happy if the single-player portion of the game was nothing but a PC with all the pokemon and items in it, a breeder, a single re-fightable trainer with one pokemon, and a treadmill for you to hatch eggs on

Why does everyone want the battle frontier back when they cheat outrageously?

Everyone knows the PWT was the best postgame anyway.

because battle gimmicks

By which you mean more ways for the RNG to fuck your ass

You could say the same thing about the slot machines and shit in the game corners

Wait, where did they say there were no gyms? And it seems hard to fit 18 of those challenges on 4 islands. Either there's a lot more we haven't seen, or something's up.

This was such an easy edit I'm surprised it wasn't done yet.

they are scrapping mega evolutions, i hate that shit

There, we told you

Planned designs from an old pokemon rom hack that never made it past the first town and never got implemented into the hack. Opinions?

They all pretty much suck
The art style seems like it's from some other series, and all of the designs just sort of blend in with each other in a way that I can't really articulate

Those are completely different they're fully completed events that never got released all the stuff I've mentioned is incomplete and has no way to access it.

Pokemon usually bases it's shit off of the familiar, like animals, mythical creatures and objects (Charizard is a dragon, Mudkip is an Axolotl, Ninetails is based off of the nine tailed fox youkai legend, Parasect is based off of how certain creatures can be enslaved and puppeted by Cordyceps fungus, the various Fossil pokemon are based off of actual fossils dug up, Lucario is based off of furries or Anubis or some shit and so on)

Most of these mons look like monsters for the sake of monsters in that they don't embody some sort of concept, some have clashing colors that repel the eyes(inferlaf line, top right), some are exceedingly cluttered to the point that they look like they're squeezing into an invisible box, and every one of the final evolutions have too much going on with way too much "bedazzling" if you get my drift, which confuses the design and hurts the eyes.

Here's some reference to get started here.

First off, let's use generation 1 as an example. They were starting out and didn't want to go crazy, so they mostly stuck to mono color because that's what the gameboy could handle. Two complimenting body colors, light Orange and yellow (very close on the color wheel) and one contrast color, dark blue.

The wings stand out because of this and make it easy to see.

Second example, skipping ahead to the 6th generation, the Froakie line.

Notice a couple of things here, despite it being 3D, they still use the same general ideal. Two complimenting colors (Blue and light blue) and one contrast (Off-white, slightly yellowed aka warm color)

Now, for one of these colors, you need to reduce saturation. In some of your mons, I see a 3 color scheme deal, In that there's mons that use saturated red, yellow and blue, which hurts the eyes.

You only need two compliment colors and a contrast. No bells and whistles.

by the way, colors on shit like Froakie's eyes and the big ass tounge scarf are what I call "accessory colors", in that you color them how they're expected to be. in this case yellow or white for frog eyes and pink for tongue.

These don't matter in the general design, as long as you don't add a whole bunch of shit next to it with clashing colors, which is a problem in the list I replied to. There is a bit of wiggle room, however, when it comes to this shit.

Give it tits.
