Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet

how we feeling about the last two reveals

 

[Nep Nep]

I'm getting some slight classic art vibes with the first one. Interesting.

I hate Monkeys besides Mankey/Primeape so that second one can burn in hell.

 

[OtherGalaxy]

kinda wish Cyclizard had been the bike pokemon instead of the legendary ngl

feels weird to me when they throw the legendary into the story too much, they don't really feel as special any more

I'm fine with graffiti lemur, not a standout to me but it's a fun retry of Smeargle's gimmick

 

[OtherGalaxy]

Cetitan is the standout design to me so far besides the box legends

Seriously, they need to go back to being secrets for exploring different places.

encounters like mewtwo or even lugia and ho-oh being sparsely mentioned by townspeople before you ever encountered them were really cool. Emerald also handled it well, they really benefit from restraint wrt legends

Regis were a bit much imo. But they never went that nuts again lol.

 

[OtherGalaxy]

they're way too obtuse with the Regis but i respect the ambition. They need to retry it but with something less...ridiculous

 

[Nep Nep]

NONONONNONONONONO YOU GOD DAMN PIECES OF SHIT!

WHAT THE FUCK GAME FREAK?!? No no! You failed AGAIN. You have made another batch of GARBAGE starters. Fire the designer. No. Do it NOW.

Literally this furry teenager did better.

Like are you fucking JOKING game freak?

 

[OtherGalaxy]

lmao


fuecoco gang won as I predicted


though skeledirge is still not like, an all time great design or anything

this gen is really fucking weird though lol from the leaks
the legendary quartet in particular

also we got the worst designed most generic pseudo legendary ever

lmao

 

[Nep Nep]

What even IS this?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

This looks awful! Why does it have a fat ass? Just why whywhywhywhywhyyyyyyyy?

Hire this person. GET rid of the failure that's making these nasty ass evos in the first pic.

 

[Yoshi]

These don't even look like Digimon. They look even worse than that.

 

[Nep Nep]

You know what pisses me off even more? They look fine in 2D.

Fucking Gamefreak just goes, looks fine on paper! Slap it in! GOGOGOGOGO Gotta release a new game every year for no god damned reason!

 

[Nep Nep]

I mean I get to choose the fire type now and I like the fire type more than the other two types... but ffs. Why GF? Why has it been 3 gens with no good starter designs for the final evos?

STOP. THE. FUCKING. HUMANOIDS.

 

[OtherGalaxy]

I am usually such a sucker for dinosaurlike pokemon but man

this is insanely bad, like bottom 10 designs in the franchise for me

i never thought I'd see a pokemon suck for being under designed
the hell are those red claws even for? why does it have no surface detail at all? Even Johto pokemon have more than that and their whole thing is being streamlined

closest thing to a spinosaurus we;ve ever gotten too and they didn't capitalize on that at all, SMH

The problem is their textures. For whatever reason they have this over done gloss shader that they apply to every damn Pokemon over a flat color texture... Calling it a texture is honestly insulting, I should say color swatch.

 

[OtherGalaxy]

even when this one gets the 2d treatment there just....isn't anything there
it looks like a rejected design that would've gotten remade into Aggron or something

and naturally it has maybe the best stats of any pseudo legend

It would help if they bothered to you know, give each Pokemon a unique pose as if it was a 2D sprite? Y'know give it some personality instead of just standing their stupidly in a basic npc pose.

 

[OtherGalaxy]

I am normally all for simplified designs this is one of the first times im just kinda shocked at how there's just nothing to work with there


like why does it have those red wolverine claws? how do they relate to the design in any way?

 

[Ral]

Bro GameFreak should just fire all of its creative designers for the mons and bring in some fresh talent and fresh minds lmao

I played the Scarlet leak, not impressed so far, and the lag is horrendous, though, we'll see of this day 1 patch nonsense.
