Have you showed them the rotom fan design as an example of what is actually good and us haters like? It incorporates the pokemon itself really well, Miku matches the theme and it's still unique and fun without being a weird mess.

Skeledirge is a croc, a flat fuck on the ground, so they did the obvious thing of making it
checks note awkwardly stand up on its hind legs for a second to "sing". It has to stand up to reach the bird mic - except the bird mic is normally not stretched out and could literally have stayed near the ground to let it sing from the ground?

It's so weird how these people attach their entire personality to a multi billion dollar company and if you point how weird it is that they're obsessively caping for them they immediately go 'N-NO THE ARTIST'

Taking and giving criticism is important and any good artist and designer knows that criticism of their work is not a personal attack by any means, and it is to be expected. To be like "but it will hurt the artists feelings!" is super childish, and frankly mean and unproductive because then you're saying you don't want to be honest with them and help them improve. Pity is not a compliment, it's an insult.
Especially when you're poiting towards their other works saying you like those, you know they're capable of making better designs which you are openly complimenting. That's the opposite of being mean to the artist.
>Seriously though pokemon fans will cape for literally anything and take any criticism of the world's highest grossing franchise as a personal attack on their character, it's kind of amazing.Eh I think it's just that pokemon is SO big that there are a lot of obsessive people.

If the story takes place in a school again I understand tbh, we had gender neutral bathrooms in primary and middle school and I remember being harassed by my male classmates who always tried to force themselves inside to see me and the other girls without our underwear… Anyway it's not like it would be the first Japanese video game company trying to appeal to Western TRAs who don't play video games as opposed to their loyal costumers who don't care about that shit. I remember some Capcom leak a few years ago about that for all their upcoming game (before all the current RE remakes and the Great Ace Attorney remaster got released) and Square Enix always tried too hard to appeal to the West while alienating JRPG fans like with Nier becoming a middle aged albino looking gorilla in the original release of the game instead of staying a bishonen or the fucked up English localizations of the recent FF games.

Found a pic of the bathrooms again, they also made the men one red & women one blue (not that it matters, but I guess it adds to them trying to be progresive).
Though now that I look at it the "gender neutral" room has a double-sized door so it may be a bathroom acomodated to wheelchair users and such, they're 1-for-all over here as well. I wonder what the jp flavor text says.
No. 321324
>>321319>they also made the men one red & women one blue (not that it matters, but I guess it adds to them trying to be progresive).Pretty sure even in japan that is the opposite of the color tradition, usually blue is for men and red for women so it's definitely some intentional gender bs. It wouldn't matter otherwise, like a static door doesn't change anything obviously, but the fact that they proudly present it to you in an effort to seem woke and inclusive is gross and performative. It confirms the "muscle woman" NPC and mannish female NPCs were probably intentionally made to appeal to western gendies and not just "body diversity".
I fear the next gen will be way worse, unless the mass-peakening hits so hard in the next 2 years that they silently remove it before the games have even been released. The only hope is that countries like China would get pissed off and maybe ban the games which would hurt their sales too much.
I wish there was more public outrage of this, not like "reee the gender devil made it, save us jesus" but just like people rightfully rolling their eyes and mocking it openly because it IS dumb, and the designs are ugly.

No. 321389
>>321331Ground is definitely my favorite so far. Personally, I don't really get the issue with these designs not looking like Miku when there's already plenty of song-specific Miku designs that don't look like her. Project Diva has a module where Miku has curly purple hair as an example. Or another example is the Raspberryism Miku. It doesn't look like her but it's still a cute and memorable design.
I'm glad the artists for this collab are trying different things instead of playing it safe.

Miku not looking like Miku in a crossover renders the crossover completely meaningless. There's no point in having Miku there at all if she's not there as Miku.
It's like if McDonalds did a collab with your favourite ice cream place and you couldn't wait to see what wacky burger ice cream flavor they'd come up with, and they're like "we put ice cream on a pizza, enjoy!!" like ok that's cool I guess because pizza is nice, but where is the McD burger theme and why is there a pizza, this is not at all what anyone came for or wanted from this collab this isn't pizza hut

Project Diva works because they use Miku's exact face and bodytype (rounded eyes, no eyelashes and her pupils) so with any design you can still tell it's her. These designs change her entire face, hair shape, hair color, clothes, even skin color like this Ground one.
These are more akin to the Mikusonas DestinyMoon made trend in that they're basically OCs trying to attach themselves to the Miku brand, except not trans, obese and black.

He thinks he's owed something because he was rooting for the bad guy all along (the fact that the bad guy was actually good was purely coincidence, he liked the ogre as a bad guy). But he's clearly set up to be wrong and bad for thinking so, I feel like that's refreshing. Usually this kind of "tortured male" will be presented as just a poor
victim but we see protag + his sister care but him closing himself off and making things worse. I'm assuming in part 2 he'll go nuts but turn around at the very end.

Just got done watching a playthrough of the DLC
Why did they make Kieran’s sister such a humongous cunt? She pretty much is either being a bitch to everyone or rubbing it in her brother’s face that his autistic hyperfixation hates him and likes the only friend he’s ever made more.
The writing legit made it seem like she just hated him having any friends at all and purposefully wanted to fuck with him, left a bad taste in my mouth honestly.

>>322409I actually love Carmine and Kieran's rocky but caring sibling relationsip, they act EXACTLY like (some of) my friends did to their siblings as kids. Siblings fight ALL the time, I'm sick of only seeing moe "onii-san uwu" shit all the time. They're both unnecessarily mean to each other at times while you can still see they care a lot for each other, but often in misguided ways becuase they're dumb kids who don't act perfectly and have their own issues. And still usually the second they stop fighting, they're "friends" again. This is a very normal and realistic sibling dynamic. I'm glad they didn't half-ass it and made her actually quite bitchy because it's more realistic and funnier to watch as a player.
The few people I've seen complain are ones who hate all the mean rivals and love the friendly ones (I see more men hate Carmine though since she's female and females have to be good little girls at all times). Personally I greatly prefer the meaner rivals to the cookie cutter nice ones who are just your friends, so this kind of friendly-but-mean rival middle thing was MUCH better than Nemona and Penny who I find boring as fuck. (Arven gets a pass because at least his relationship to his parent was interesting)
>rubbing it in her brother’s face that his autistic hyperfixation hates him and likes the only friend he’s ever made more.You're exaggerating, she's literally telling him she gets how he feels but that he has to consider ogerpons feelings. And to be fair, his fixation on the villain who attacked the village and killed their heroes IS weird. He's the kind of guy who thinks the Joker is justified and it's the world who's wrong, you know? He said he likes the ogre because it's so powerful it killed the 3 good heroes on its own, he didn't care about the real sweet innocent ogerpon at all - and that's why it didn't like him.

>The few people I've seen complain are ones who hate all the mean rivals and love the friendly onesI guess I mind it less when they're being mean to the player character since the player character doesn't really react? Like in HGSS you get kicked around and forcibly stripped by Silver but the protagonist doesn't really seem to care (due to being silent), meanwhile Kieran basically gets mindbroken which could have been avoided if his sister didn't pull the 'IT WANTS TO GO WITH YOU PROTAGONIST' right in front of him and that Ogerpon was scared of him despite him desperately trying to get it to like him.
> his fixation on the villain who attacked the village and killed their heroes IS weird.He's a kid who gets bullied by his sister and has no friends, so from the start he pretty much considered Ogerpon to be a reflection of himself and wanted to be friends with it because of that, it's pretty normal stuff for kids and I don't think it's on the level of being a Jokerfag teenager.

She wasn't doing it to spite Kieran, she was doing it to uplift the player and ogerpon, while suppressing her own complex emotions about it (she doesn't like outsiders, doesn't want their village legend to go to someone else, is also sad for Kieran because she knows he wants it too etc).
Why should she be mean to the player AND ogerpon and instead insist her little brother's unhealthy obsession with getting the strong murder pokemon means he should take it? Or the other option, not learn from her earlier regret of not telling him and just make you take ogerpon later behind his back instead?
>He's a kid who gets bullied by his sister and has no friends>I don't think it's on the level of being a Jokerfag teenager.Siblings making fun of and annoying each other is not at all the same thing as school kids bullying each other, which I'm not sure someone without siblings get. It absolutely is the same as the joker-stans, Kieran's an outcast "by choice". HE sees himself as weak and weird - but others don't. And ultimately that is what turns him into an actually bad outcast at the end. There are plenty of times Carmine tries to be considerate to him, even right from the start she calls him really strong and HE's the one who denies it. They both point out each others flaws while also revealing how the other is being considerate in secret. They both know how the other acts and that their "bullying" conceals kindness. It's why I love both of them, they're complex and realistic.

And wtf is up with the jacket? Are we supposed to pretend it has protective function at all or that it's just quirky fashion? It's team star level garbage

>>322877I know some people like the idea of sound type but I can't say I'm a fan. We already have "sound inspired" pokemon and they're fine as they are. I just find sound as a type to be a bit boring on its own. I love that they can make toxtricity and obstagoon have obvious ties to music without that being their whole personality/type.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like if you make one group like sound into a new type you kind of have to do it to other groups too and then suddenly you have 25 types to keep track of. Like why should sound get a type when there are plenty of food inspired pokemon like slurpuff and smolive that could get a food type? Or an "enchanted object" type for all the object based pokemon like klefki and magnemite?
I feel this way about most fan made suggestions for new types, the only one I've seen that I can get behind is maybe a space type of some kind (be it cosmic, star or universe type) because space is its own unique environment so it would affect the pokemon living there.
I wouldn't have minded if they had made a "prehistoric" type that included all the fossil pokemon, but since they've been doing them for so long without it they feel fine as they are.

>>323254I found ghost type trainer Miku so interesting because while some of the others generated some fanart this one in particular just flooded my social media with fanart. It just happens to be the one that actually looks like Miku. Because what people wanted from a Miku collab was Miku, not just "random pokemon girl with twin tails".
The only reason I complain about the pokemon franchise is because I love it and want it to do better, and I really think this is just another case where they dropped the ball on what people wanted. As cute as some of them are they should just have given us cute Miku-looking designs from the beginning.
I was complaining about one of the designs on twitter not looking like Miku and some Miku-stan replied with a snarky "she can look any way they want her to because she looks different in all of these things" with 4 pics of unrecognizable Miku designs. And yeah sure they CAN do that, but the trade-off is that it loses all brand-recognition, people who like the standard Miku get disappointed, and no one is interested in general. They could also turn pikachu into a naked molerat but no one would buy that it's pikachu anymore.

Also I totally get you with the wasting time part though, I used to shiny hunt all the time when I was young since I had no responsibilities, but I'm not able to do it as much anymore because of how time-consuming it is (luckily for me in these years I catched pretty much all the shinies I like, so now I only have to hunt for like… 3-5 new pokemon I like in each gen). My usual shiny hunting method is the Masuda one, so I usually do it in the background while working on another thing at the same time, but still….

No. 326615
>>326602>>326613Very long story short
There was this guy who went by mariotehplumber who originally did a larp in the early youtube era where he would break video games and rant about modern sonic, pretty much stuff you would expect. He later came back in the smash 4 era to buy every single Rosalina amiibo in his area because his mariotehplumber character deeply hated her for being 'hentai' or something. He spent about 4000 in amiibos I think?
He was also then well known for the grinch leak which was a leak during christmas for smash bros ultimate which turned out to be fake (I didn't actually know that he did that one until today).
But that leads us to preciousleaf. Preciousleaf is well known for having over 40,000 tweets and uncountable amounts of discord posts and hours spent making MMD videos about his wife Leaf, his videos and tweets are often bizarrely worded to the point where it's hard to tell what he's saying and he's best known for starting fights with people for the shitty gacha pokemon masters and hating Lillie for taking attention away from Leaf. He has a shit ton of Leaf merch, some of it incredibly rare like magazine scans and had spent at least a couple of grand on pokemon masters.
It turned out that Mariotehplumber and preciousleaf were the same troll and he had been keeping up the PL act on 4chan, discord, twitter, youtube, etc for at over 4 years.

>>326598Holy shit I didn't expect to find this autist on here. Tbh I was debating myself on posting him in the autism thread because his was off the charts kek. But apparently Leaf is meant to be his girlfriend's self-insert (he has a girlfriend I think, ther's a pic of them together on Twitter)? If so, that's honestly kinda sweet. Unless of course he only got a girlfriend to make her RP as Leaf which would be straight up deranged.
I didn't know about the Twitter or Discord, jesus christ that's insane. I only ever knew about his Youtube channel which I stumbled upon by accident.
>routinely recorded himself screaming and crying and posted images of fake medical records and damage he did to his living spaceok I think I'll take back what I said, that man is clearly insane. I don't care if he faked it all, for what purpose though? I mean he even used a mod for Pokemon RBGY (probably Yellow) to have Leaf follow Red around, it's in his Youtube channel

Not unpopular on lc, but in general: no more gender ideology shit in the games please, no more "gender neutral" (aka no female options) clothes, no more non-binary characters or meaningless pandering with bathrooms
Most controversial opinion though: In general old and new pokemon designs are equally good/bad. I don't care for most of the paldea mons, but I also wouldn't mind yeeting a ton of gen 1 pokemon out of the games so it's pretty equal over all.

>>331245I think it comes down to two factors, first one being the fact that you "waste" way less resources, because in most cases if a weak pokemon faints, you don't really bother reviving it and healing it. Additionally, if you put weak pokemon in the gym it incentivizes more people to take over it, which may be a good or a bad thing depending on how popular pokego is in your area.
I used to defend gyms with stronger pokemons but then they would take days to be knocked out of the gym (because people were feeding them berries) and I would usually not get my 50 coins on a daily basis. Ever since I switched to weak pokemon, not only do I get my 50 daily coins more consistently but also don't have to worry about running out of revives or healing potions.

What's your dream pokemon region (like what country/place should it be based on)?
I think a south asian island region would be cool, but it would have to be like Hoenn rather than Alola, so that you can actually explore all the water inbetween islands. You'd also have dive to explore under water. Maybe there's even an atlantis kind of underwater city or something. I'd want it to not be fully open world like gen 9, but to have open routes/areas instead so I guess more like PLA but without a "town hub". I still want it to be an "open" map you can travel on. The water graphics would have to be way better than what gen 9 had though lol I like the snap graphics more so maybe something like that

Looks like it's unpopular opinion here but I absolutely hate Lyra's design in HGSS and wish they put in a revamped Kris instead. I hate her stupid hat worst of all. Usually I only like to play the girl character 100% of the time but I wiped my original Soulsilver save file just because I hate her design so much even the overworld sprite looks bad to me. Now I'm just going to rebuild my save file up again as Ethan pretending I'm playing a really boyish/androgynous girl who everyone mistakes for a boy.

>>335691Hard disagree, Lyra is one of my favorite female protag designs and I especially adore the cute hat lol and Kris is one of the ugliest dressed ones imo. I like the thought of the two of them being friends tho. And one thing I do like about Kris is that she has blue* hair, I wish they'd go back and give protags more fun hair again. It's so boring that npcs can have batshit insane hair like Ryuki, but we're stuck with basic black/brown hair. I know we've got character customization now but it still bores me that all the artworks and merch etc uses the basic designs.
*it pisses me off that (just like with hatsune miku) people's brains malfunctions as soon as something is blue-teal-green and they literally can't make up their mind what color her hair is. She straight up has green hair in some official artworks and blue in others.

>>335906You know what, I actually hate the current trend of keeping the Japanese names for characters in English dubs. They ALWAYS butcher their own names and it's so cringe to me. Just use a localized name, it's fine! Call her Hannah or something. "My name is Ha-ruew" suuuure it is. I don't think Americans realize that it sounds just like when a Japanese anime goes "herro i amu furomu amerika, my nameu is Bobu Fureedomu". If you have even minimal knowledge about English you can tell it sounds wrong, just like the butchered Japanese names sound wrong. Besides I always think it's fun to see what cute names different langauges chose for a character and how they relate to it. For example since Haru means spring you could go with Flora or April.
The show looks cute tho.

>>338038>>338045In my eurofag country those kinds of racist caricatures only ever existed in (old) comic books with equally ugly, steretypical caricatures of every race, including the majority of characters who were white people. To have people point to one single character and say that one is not ok while the rest are fine when you have literally no context as to why that is, is very confusing to say the least! I think Japan is similar. Even if there were American racist caricatures around that they directly copied to make jynx, I honestly don't think they would have known the context of it. To them it would just have been a silly cartoon drawing, like it was to us eurofags too. I don't think that takes away from Americans being offended though, cultural differences exist and that's fine.
My own personal take on jynx (when I was a kid) was that it was the "fat singing opera viking lady", because she was a blonde fat "woman" who was ice type with breast plates, and who sings. So in my child self's eyes it was a stereotype of the whitest white people, rather than black people. But in reality yuki-onna and ganguro style, both very tied to Japanese culture, are the (alleged) real inspirations for jynx. Cultural differences really change how you see it!
No. 338193
>>338136Ayrt I didn't mean to say you implied Japan made it racist "on purpose", that's just a common thing I've heard surrounding the jynx debate (from Americans) so I was talking broadly and speculating on how it might have gone down. I think the issue
>>337714 had was Americans/people explaining it poorly because it went similarly for me and my siblings as kids. It's worth mentioning that the people who explained it to us were also kids so in hindsight I don't think they really grasped it either. They really said something very similar to "jynx is ugly… and umm that's like racist because it looks black". They were kids trying their best to be righteous but they for sure didn't word it in ways that would hold up to scrutiny. As kids we'd just go "oh ok" and move on without follow-up questions because we basically didn't understand what racism even was lol

>>339019Glad you're enjoying it! I loved the game too but I actually missed trainer battles, to me it felt kind of pointless to train up my pokemon to battle - only to not have anyone to battle! I'd be more fine with it if they had made trainer battles in SV more interesting, but they instead made the NPCs ugly mfs standing alone in a huge field waiting for you to approach them or they wouldn't even talk to you. But I digress lol.
Legends arceus actually had some challenges I didn't beat on the first try, which is refreshing since main games can be beaten easily by over leveling almost any pokemon team.

The only trainers in the main games that made me sweat were the ones on Victory Road and then some Gym Leaders and all that. Aside from that, it's not like they were memorable to me, sometimes they were even annoying because of having to stop every two steps in order to battle.
Plus, I'm already used to spin-offs with no trainer battle mechanics, like Pokémon Ranger or Mystery Dungeon.

I met a strange specimen irl once. This guy in my uni class overheard me express knowledge of Pokémon to another guy and just barged in on the conversation. He pulled up a list of all the new s/v Pokémon on his phone and rattled off what he thought about each one completely unprompted, most of the opinions being "it's bad it looks weird I mean idk what they were thinking." While he was pulling it up I saw that he had a whole bunch of notes he wrote about fakemon he made up and fanfiction and other stuff that indicates that he thinks a lot about Pokemon. I asked him if he played the new games and he said he doesn't play Pokemon games, lmao.
What's the deal this these types? This isn't the first time I've met an autist who was heavily invested in a game he'd never played either, in the same room I talked to a guy who was obsessed with Halo but admitted to literally never touching a game when I started talking about playing.

I really wonder how the workforce distribution looks, they could have stellar teams not working on gen 9, but instead on an as of yet unannounced new legends game, while a third team worked on gen 10 since that's a big anniversary number of a generation. Ok gen 10 is a stretch, but at least another legends game being worked on seems like a fair bet to me.

It makes it seem like a cultural thing, so if a character with 2-colored hair shows up in gen 10 or other gen remakes you know they're most likely from Paldea.

Legendaries stoped being special long ago, ever since they made them your friends and/or have a super high catch rate. At least no other gen has topped gen 4 on number of legendaries, they went crazy on that one, but you're right the are too many now. I think box legendaries & cutesy event legendary are enough for each gen, maybe 1-2 more hidden in post-game.

And they're allowed to be stronger and have wacky abilities so it adds to the competitive meta, which is one of the largest parts of post-game players.
What do they need to feel "special" to you guys? They get cut scenes and story around them, there's only 1 per playthrough. I see legendary pokemon as ones that just happen to be so powerful humans made up l legends surrounding them… they're not literally gods just because some humans worship them as if they were.

>making them unique, very strong pokemon that aren't mandatory at all so once you actually look for themThey're kinda doing that now, but mostly for the post-game ones. It's just the cover legendaries (+ third one) that get the story treatment. What else would be the center if not rare powerful pokemon when that's the only unique thing about the francaise?
You didn't need to catch the galarian birds, or regis, or returning ones like keldeo. And the 4 ruins pokemon in Paldea aren't part of the story at all. They're just hidden away and you'll have to seek them out yourself just like you wanted.
Yet despite all that I kinda agree with you. I think my personal problem is that I miss "dungeons". Maybe it's just nostalgia, but it just feels so much cooler to find a hidden cave and have to go through some puzzles (especially when you half way through realize you didn't bring the right HM so you have to go back lol) and at the end deep into the cave or at the top of the tower you finally find it. This is its domain, an area just for this pokemon to reign over. If kids these days are too lazy to go through a light challenge then honestly fuck em, let them play another game. They can play pokemon GO or cafe remix.

I liked them in theory but when I look at them I actually find about half of them uglier than the regular form, and the ones I do like I'd want to stay in that form for longer so I could play with them outside of battle.
I was also put off by reading their dex entries, most of them would say things like "the pokemon is in pain during this form, it hates mega evolving" so I could never bring myself to do it to my poor pokemon.
I actually love that they started doing different gimmicks for each region, it allows them to make infinite forms for each pokemon (mega, gmax, tera, regional and so on) without even increasing the total dex number while also keeping the meta fresh. They can choose to focus on another pokemon that needed some love and attention. But I wish they overlapped just a tiny bit more, I would love it if in the post game of scarlet and violet you suddenly got visited by trainers from Kalos who mega evolve their pokemon. It worked perfectly when we got remakes in the same generation with XY-ORAS, but they haven't done that in a while so sadly we might never get that synergy again. I really miss having 2 games/regions each gen. Even with the DLC letting you visit new places it's just not the same.

The future/past gimmick was interesting and seeing some of the older mons' adaptations to it was quite funny (Scream Tail is my favorite). I grew attached to the characters and will be waiting for them to appear in the anime some day, the amount of series that came out during this time was a surprise, it's being a long while since I watched the pokemon anime so all the different animations for this gen was pleasent. Ogerpon became my favorite legendary, she is just a loveable little creature. Overall I'm content with this experience, some great moments for me.

Sad to say I agree. Game freak thinks that little kids prefer humanoid designs for their first partner pokemon so they started leaning into it more and more. It's insane to me that they think kids actually prefer a sexually dancing big-butt bird over a mighty dragon like charizard. Even little kids who didn't grow up with gen 1 at all STILL prefer charizard.
GF have deluded themselves into thinking people who were into incineroar were 1 kids, and 2 liked it because it's a beefy man with a tiger face. In reality teens/adults liked it only because it was really good in the competitive meta. And kids didn't care about it, all they wanted was to pick the cool/cute little black kitten as their partner and it just happend to grow into a human man. And even back then the whole internet was memeing how badly they wanted litten to NOT grow up bipedal. Then they did it again with sprigatito, but made it a coomer waifu instead of a beefy man. It's like a furry designed both specifically to make edgy cat-furry porn of the two of them.

My friend once put it as the problem is that they kinda went from designing starters to be "a loyal pet" to instead trying to make them be a kids "best friend". Best friend as in human who does human things like play with toys and sit at the table and eat with you and wear human clothes. That's why they now have patterns that look like they wear clothes, they eat our human sandwhich and curry instead of pokeblocks and pokepuffs, and their designs are based on human professions.
I'd actually be curious to take the fake incineroar design and the real one and do a survey on which people like better, and do it across all ages. And then take incineroar and compare it to charizard asking which they prefer of those.

She was my badass female representation, but the moids will never cease.

>>350744>what's a pokemon you like despite it being abused by coomers?Every pokemon mentioned so far lol salazzle, gardevoir, lopunny… love them all. I'm a sucker for feminine pokemon in general so tsareena, hatterene, gothitelle… they all get coomer memed to various degrees. I am also a big fan of zeraora, I think it's a humaoid cartoon cat done right but of course that one gets claimed by coomer furries…
I hate that just mentioning liking any of the pokemon above to a male makes them go "here's a porn meme of them lololol isn't this funny" when it's really not and just feels like sexual harassment every fucking time. I even avoid mentioning mr mime to males because they all go "mr mime fucked Ash's mom!!!1!" every time.

It also looks more like a playboy bunny than a cat, if I didn't know it evolved from a cat I wouldn't have known it was one. You're right that males will and do sexualize anything, but this one seems to be designed by/for a coomer male. Compare it to roserade who has nearly the exact same inspiration (feminine grass type with a face mask and smug expression) but still manages to not look coomery because the proportions and features are less human.
They had the option of making it less human or less coomery but they chose to make it this way. Especially paired with quaquaval being a literal festival dancer shaking its big butt to look sexy, and including an actual fucking loli character in the game, it's clear they just went for it with the coomer department. They KNOW.

Then mega lopunny happened, and it having litteral ripped tights made it so obvious that it was actually intended to be coomer bait all along and that made me sooo heartbroken. It's not a new thing, they've been making coomer bait pokemon all along and I hate it. I still like lopunny but I can't bring myself to use it or say it in public.
>GF in general has issues not listening to fans.I can't decide which it is. Somehow obscure animals that were memed hard with "omg this should be a pokemon!!!!" turned into a real pokemon soon after, like the picrel bee fly post was going around hard for a few years before Alola came out and had cutiefly in it (sorry for shit quality, im not gonna find the og post). And a few years before Alola, regional variants of pokemon were HUGE on social media. Everyone was doing fanart of it. Gen 4 remakes happened even though game freak didn't want to do them anymore, so they outsourced. They ARE clearly listening on some level.
But then they make shit designs that the entire internet scream at them not to! I think they just know coomer designs make them a lot of money and attention, as well as some designers being coomers themselves (let's be real if they're an artist in japan, they've seen it all…).

A part of me truly thinks the original design was made to appeal to girls anyway. Moids just ruined it like they ruin everything else. Especially if it's female coded.

I think IF they tried to make one they'd try hard to make something fanartists haven't made before, so ones like what you posted that are obviously inspired by Haku are all out. And I think for them to make one it would likely have to reflect some new feature, umbreon/espeon was to represent the new day/night feature, glaceon/leafeon was kind of to show off environmental changes in pokemon (I think it was a precursor to seasons which they did the next gen, as one is summer and one winter), and then sylveon showed off the new fairy type.
I think if they make a new eeveelution, it will be to use it in "advertizing" something new, and thus fit that theme.

Picrel are her credited pokemon, lots of them are favorites of mine.

>>359662>Aw, why don't you like Leafeon? "Leaf for ears/tail" is a pretty basic concept, but I think it works pretty well for it.Compared to the others it lacks cute "fluffy" qualities because the tail and ears are flat and have vein-like folds. The onion-hairstyle somewhat makes up for it, but I just don't like what it does for the head shape.
I think the pale yellow that takes up 90% of the body is kind of… off. It's not exactly "ugly", but I think it makes it look like dried out grass rather than a vibrant lush grass type (and we already had a yellow electric type, we didn't need another yellow one).
Then the green leafy parts look so off to me… like they've been randomly glued on. Especially the one on the chest looks kind of gross to me, they come across as sharp thorns. I just want to cut them off and make the fur look nice and even!
It's impossible to find exact fanart of what I think would have been better but picrel is a fusion of leafon and glaceon that fixes most of my problems with it. It's a bit overdesigned and looks like it might be ai(?), but it gets the point across.

>Sylveon is overdesigned but I still love it tbh. I hate when trannies try to claim her cause she's pink and blue.GOD same. I hate them so much for trying to claim a cute color combo in general, even more so when it's a pokemon that clearly had NOTHING to do with them because their stupid ass ideology didn't even exist to most people yet, except for a few degenerates online. To say a pokemon stands for mutilation of children is so disgusting!

That's how I feel about the mons I don't like too. I don't mind hearing the reasoning people dislike it. It's interesting to see what appeals to others and what doesn't. A lot of people like Glaceon but the thing on top its head always bugged me and made me more ambivalent about it. I don't think it's bad, just meh. She's still cute tho.
>there's surprisingly little fanart for leafeon considering it is an eeveelution… sadly I think that might prove that more people agree it's one of the weakest eeveelution designsIve seen a lot of fanart for Leafeon but I do think it's one of the less popular ones. I feel kinda cringe saying this cause I'm a grown woman kek but when I order plushies from Japan (better quality) Leafeon seems to always be priced lower than the others. Vaporeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Sylveon all seem like the more popular ones based off resale plushie prices. I can see that based on amount of fanart too. I honestly think all the eeveelutions are good, the ones I care less for still look nice to me. Their arent any I look at and utterly despise.

>>358775Not sure if anyone else felt this, but in Pokemon's transition to 3D and especially on the Switch lots of the open world style cities felt so flat and boring to be in, spending more time endlessly running around than engaging with anything. The worst offenders were the ones in SwSh like picrel. It improved in PLA with Jubilife, but then I was disappointed again in SV where some shops didn't even have interiors.
So for ZA I feel excited it's set only in the city, so it kind of has to be rich and engaging. Well you'd hope anyway kek

The problem with SWSH routes for me though was that they felt small and narrow. Like you go in a straight line and then it's all over. Nothing to actually explore or get lost in. I was also a bit disappointed in SWSH that there were so few places to go into in the big cities… give me a pokeball store, give every town a clothes store, give me little daily events… I mean if you show us a shop then let us buy from it, even if it's like 1-2 mostly useless items. I feel like they just keep making towns more superficial every generation and SV hit the lowest peak yet.

I won't mind if npcs are around. I actually think this might bring me the urban big city pokemon experience I've been lacking in other games! I admit I still prefer wild nature over a city kek but this feels like such a fresh idea that we haven't gotten before.

I don't know how many of you are into pokétubers but I like to watch them from time to time. I used to watch a female called trickywii who had a cute sylveon avatar, I fell off for a while only to find her again and was shocked to see she's now just a big-titty v-tuber instead as seen in picrel.
It's just so heartbreaking that it seems every single female content creator decides to go down the coom route. It's already annoying enough to be a female fan, when we have the few visible women turn to sexy coom material it's like they're telling the males "this is what women really are like and what you should expect from us" when we're already being treated like sexual objects. I hate the message it sends.

Nonnies what are your favorite generations depending on the context?
For me, Gen 1 to 3 are my favorite when it comes to the anime, Gen 1 is quite cozy and gives me japanese 90s nostalgia.
But when it comes to the games, I really feel like in terms of quality Gen 5 was the peak and Gen 6 was very hype as well. How about you nonnas?

>>360938I have nostalgia for gen 3 anime, but my favorite anime is gen 6. It was peak adventure and Ash was more mature and cool than in any other season. I hated the new slice of life direction it took after that.
For the games I think gen 5 had the best story and world (seasons and all that) but I'm not a fan of the dex. Peak pokemon designs are gen 6-7 for me.

>>360938I never played gen 5 when it first came out, but I have a copy I bought a few years ago just never got around to playing it. I've only heard huge praise for it. And really liked some of the mon designs from that game and also like the trainer designs too. But at the time I was a teenager and even though I still loved pokemon and played heartgold at its release secretly, it was considered uncool unlike now thanks to pokemon go it's ok to like it outwardly again (still a little bitter about getting bullied kek).
I can't pick a favorite Gen of games tbh. I guess gen 1 and 3 anime I have most nostalgia for, but the new one, Pokemon Horizons is actually really good. I like it has a female lead and no Ash. All the characters are super respectful to each other. Just seems like a cute and wholesome show with all interesting side characters and stories.

Either way it's not true, everyone watched it here growing up and we were perfectly able to understand the snappy and sassy humor, it was very much the comedy style for kids at the time. Watching Misty scream at Ash over a broken bike didn't make girls scream at boys, even kids get that's exaggerated and funny. Shows these days are just lame af because otherwise parents will write angry letters to the creators. It used to be a fun adventure for kids, now it's an informative class on friendship (with adult characters around to keep an eye on the kids) for parents, so they'll let their kids watch it.

I think the villains are all really fun and I like their designs a lot. I love that they didn't go with team star, they're so ugly and boring. I expect Amethio to turn around and eventually become a good boy in the end kek
I think Liko kinda sucks tho. It's dumb that her name isn't Riko in English when that's her "real" name. I'm also deadass tired off main female characters who are lame as fuck boring insecure girls who barely even like/deal with pokemon, while the boy(s) are all adventurous and fun. We had Lillie (arguably the most central anime girl in the plot of Alola), followed by Chloe (worst one), and now Liko. And that's excluding the mini series where they also have a main girl whose shtick was being unsure of what she wanted to do.
It's like insecure girls in anime/cartoons are the new "token pink girl", they're there because the creators cannot imagine females not being a stereotype. I'm ranting a bit now, but I was a very insecure kid and the last thing I wanted was to identify with the lame insecure female characters… all that did was reinforce my internalized misogyny that girls (like me) were lame, and it made me want to be the fun confident boy instead. Imo it sends the opposite message of what the creators probably intended. A young kid isn't going to grasp that her multiple season character arc takes her from insecure to confident 2 years into the anime.
No. 362089
>>362068>Misty and May and Dawn weren't like thisMost other female characters have had bouts of feeling insecure but they overcame it within the same or just a few episodes. That's literally exactly how you do it and get the message out to kids! And if you're aiming at insecure overthinking teens… they're just not going to identify with the 10 year old cartoon kid who is younger than them because they've simply aged out of her. They're going to simp for someone like Amethio, who is a troubled misunderstood edgy villain teen.
So far I've only seen (a few) adult women (around 30+) say they relate to Liko's overthinking, and yeah of course you do because you're a boring adult with adult anxieties who also thinks it's great when you get to skip those violent battles in the games, that game freak might as well get rid of the story because it's so weak anyway, and you were thrilled SV was finally set in a school so that those kids finally get an education and that the main character not going to school was a bad influence on kids playing the games, that pokemon should just be converted into nintendogs pet caring games. These people honestly just do not like pokemon very much other than on a VERY superficial surface level. Pokemon concierge was already made for these people, they should just watch that instead.
>No little girl who likes pokemon is going to self insert on the pathetic retard who can barely interact with them.Exactly this! Whoever is in charge of the anime is someone who thinks girls aren't actually into pokemon, but simply watch it sort of by accident because their brothers and boy classmates are into it. They think all girls only have surface level (dis)interest, like the women mentioned above.

>A young kid isn't going to grasp that her multiple season character arc takes her from insecure to confident 2 years into the anime.I mean if you start watching when you're 8 years old you're not gonna remember all those details 2 years later when you're 10 because it's such a massive potion of your short life. There's a reason kids shows are typically following a "character/story of the episode" formula. And personally as an adult watching it's boring as fuck to watch a kid be insecure for that long, like get over it already lol
Ash wasn't seen as an idiot where I live, he was like any other cartoon protag where they sometimes fuck up for comedic value, but who pulled through when needed. I think the difference is his fucks up were framed as silly and funny, where today Liko's problems are framed as serious and dramatic. Yet it doesn't come off as a more serious show, it just comes off as if they've ditched the funny comedic parts. I actually think it's doing a disservice to kids to portray their mild insecurities as if they are actual real serious problems, it's teaching them to keep ruminating in their problems which leads to poor mental health.

I have a theory that in the early days real animals were meant to exist in the pokemon world, and these monsters were kind of special versions of them. So seaking was the "king" of normal goldfish. I feel like that fits in with japanese yokai lore where you have stuff like normal foxes, but if it lives long enough it beomes a kitsune, a magical yokai being. So the names then reflected that, while in later gens pokemon are instead the "animals" of the world.

>>363858Probably the original May design. Something about the way she looks just makes her seem like the most believable as an animal trainer and hiker of all the female game protagonists to me, and the idea of her camping out with her Pokémon is very cozy. I'll admit that her hair is silly, though. She would look so nice with a more standard shorter hairstyle, rather than the boomerang cut.

Oh how I wish we'd be able to have cute hairstyles like Hilda and Rosa again, the customization options are always too "natural" and don't let you create a cute fun anime character despite the entire franchise being full of NPCs with funky hair and clothes.

>>364481>And how does the customizability keep getting worse?LC is the only place I can admit this openly but I honestly think it's because they put a male in charge of customization instead of a female, or someone who at least talks to females. The reason XY had more customization options for the female characters is because they know overall females are a lot more likely to care and find options to dress up fun. There are dress up sections on every "girl game" site yet never any on "boy" sites. Of course it's not EVERY female and males like it too etc etc… but it's been true for all my friends, all the females are the ones changing their character up for fun now and then and the males pick a basic black shirt and then never care for the rest of the game, unless they're meme-ing and want to wear the dumbest hat of the game.
It's not just that Paldea has a lack of options, they're also distinctly ugly and unfeminine. There is no way someone who has even a basic understanding or interest in Japanese fashion wouldn't make more feminine-typical options - be it just for the female character or unisex options. At least I hope so, because otherwise they just went woke on purpose thinking along the lines of "it's sexist to think females want cute fashion in games and not just gray socks".

>>366193What I love about legends is that you're incentivized to catch many of the same pokemon to fill out the dex pages. It feels like you're doing actual realistic research on each species!
I also LOVE quests. I've always wanted them in the main games. They don't even have to be called quests, to me it just makes the world feel more alive when a character asks me to help them or find something for them. It lets random villagers show their personalities too.
I really missed trainer battles though. It makes sense for the story since pokemon trainers didn't really exist yet and there are still a few of course. And it felt WAY worse in the let's go games where battling wild pokemon didn't even exist, you could literally only throw balls at them. I think it would have been ideal for me if through the story of the game more humans became trainers following you, and you'd then sporadically find them out in the wild to battle them if you wanted to.
I also missed abilities! I'm ok with them not existing in battle (since there are so few battles anyway), but so many of them are fun and quirky and tied to the pokemons design. Like imagine a komala that isn't asleep, or a kecleon that can't change type - it ruins the fun. In fact I think it would be great if they incorporated features of the rangers games and pokemon with different abilities made it so you could interact with the environment in different ways. Imagine if having a luxray on your team made it so you could see through rocks and find special items (since it has x-ray vision), or if a cherubi could help you find berries near trees and bushes. Or make it more basic, so that every fire type is able to burn old twigs for you to find items, or every water type lets you surf on it.

Side games, which includes legends are all unique (unless they're in the same subcategory series) and do not compare to the main games, Legends is not similar to S/V.
On that note, really hope they make an explorers of sky remake.

>>366272>Side games, which includes legendsIncorrect actually. Legends is a main game too, it's just different than most other mainline games. The Let's Go games are also mainline and yes this has been confirmed by the creators.
It seems if it's a "remake" it's still mainline even if gameplay differs (let's go, legends) or even if not made by game freak (BDSP).
I think broadly if you play as a regular pokemon trainer who catches and battles with pokemon they consider it a main game. I don't think it's true for all the oldest side games/spin offs, but it's been true for about 20 years.

>>366395>hopefully and it does look like it, it means they're gonna treat it with more respect because side games don't get enough.True, I'm a big fan of PMD and I wish so badly they'd do more with it. I think it could do well as an "animal crossing" mix, where you'd build up and decorate a town slowly (similar to gates of infinity having paradise) and to do so you find resources on your missions/get them as rewards. That would make great post-game PMD content. But GTI had the weakest story and least amount of pokemon so it's always seen as the worst PMD game so they might never do anything like that one again… In general I really think pokemon should make something in the same ballpark as animal crossing (but not too close so they're not direct competitors) to capture that part of the gaming market.
And speaking of side games, I'd love to see them develop a new style of ranger games, I always found those very charming. I get that the whole gimmick of spinning the stylus to catch pokemon isn't gonna work on switch (despite it also being a touch screen) but surely they could just make up a new method for the new rangers? Button combos or something?

Does the TPC hate Pokemon Colosseum and XD? I don't think there is a single spin-off that has as much demand for a remake, sequel, or at least being ported on the Switch as the Orre games.
I also find it weird how much other gen 3-4 spin-offs got shilled in comparison. 3 of Rangers protagonists (Solana, Kellyn, Ben) show up in the main anime, and the Manaphy movie was also about the Rangers. PMD had anime shorts.

>>366634Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon XD and Pokemon Battle Revolution barely sold over 3,3 Million copies worldwide all combined.
Why would TPC try to revive a "dead" video game series if it doesn't make any money?
The first Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game almost sold double as much as the 3 games named above.
No. 366679
>>366644NAYRT Pokemon Colosseum didn't sell that poorly looking at context, it's in the top 10 best-selling games for its console kek. Looking outside of Pokemon, it did better than The Thousand Year Door which is similarly beloved and spawned further installments from Nintendo down the line. It's not really fair to compare it to the sales of handheld spinoffs as Pokemon has always fared much better there. It'd be better to compare to Snap for the 64, which wasn't in the top 10 for the N64 (although it sold more units as the 64 generally had better sales), and DID get a modern installment.
I wouldn't go as far as to allege TPC hates the game or anything the way that first nonna is implying as it's easy to see why the ranger and PMD games got more installments, but you're getting way too pressed and being unfair lol. In present day where the split between home and handheld consoles no longer exists for Nintendo, it wouldn't be insane to give the Orre games another shot.

>>367445>>367637I think every pokemon species that is female-only is automatically terfs. All male is automatically GC. All genderless pokemon fully reject gender ideology.
I'm surprised more weeb troons haven't argued pokemons "gender" should be renamed "sex" since they argue they're "not the same thing" (which they are). Just kidding, I'm not surprised, they still conflate the two whenever they feel it benefits their agenda.
It's actually pretty fun to look at pokemon gender differences. Like female venusaur is the one with a big seed aka "the one with the large gamete" which sex is based on even in plants. Rattata has shorter whiskers as if it has "less facial hair".

>>368340Seems excessive imo. One of my long time pokemon fan friends is a man who loves making jokes about troons with me, nearly everyone else around us is woke af.

Nonas I started playing legends arceus for the first time after beating scarlet and violet and I'm just shook at how much better and more finished LA is. I haven't beat it to be fair, but so far I'm amazed at how fresh and new they made the series feel. I actually was engaged with the story. The controls are intuitive, it's easy to navigate the menus. The damn pokedex is better than s/v. The game isn't glitchy, the environment is beautiful. Everything about it feels like the old pokemon I loved as a kid but with new life.
Don't get me wrong, I still want mainline mechanics and stuff. I like the auto battle and having your mon out with you. Tera battle raids are interesting too. I just think LA did so many things right while SV did so many things wrong. I get the switch has limitations and it affects their attempts at making a fully open world. But damn man, SV has ugly ass npcs, ugly ass environments, stupid ass story, glitchy ass fuck, and most of the future/past pokemon are so damn stupid looking.LA the hisuian versions look cool. And the game actually has some challenge to it. Not to mention the outfit you get at the start looks cool too.

Bulbapedia considers her two different characters because they need an official source proving that Leaf and Green are one and the same. The proof is that both are paired up with Red and Blue.

I really loved HMs, I miss them to this day! They made the overworld seem more intractable and made me appreciate pokemon who could use the HM I needed in the moment.

To me it was the opposite and you had an extra powerful partner who could clear the way for you and you'd literally be stuck without it.

I used to think a lot of fanart didn't look "pokemon" enough, but now I honestly think the new starters don't look pokemon enough! These 3 could easily have been the new style direction for gen 9 instead of the bad one we got.
I'm worried game freak is gonna think the success of having an open world game means the pokemon design direction was good, that they won't realize that has no correlation and people had just been wanting open world since forever and they could have put digimon in instead and people still would have bought it.

>>371733This is by far going to be the most retarded take I'm sure, but as someone who grew up as a fat kid this would have made me feel like shit. And every time someone looked at my skinny avatar (because I don't wanna look like a fat blob in game too) I would have to worry if they are thinking or even saying "oh she isn't using the fat one? Does this fat bitch think she's skinny? Why do fat chicks always think they're the hottest shit…".
I really wonder how many fat people actually want this feature? Any fat nonas in here who like it?

Do you guys watch the current anime? Opinions on Liko as the new Ash?
I think there's a reason main characters are often overexcited and cocky, they're simply more fun to watch so I find Liko to be a bit of a snooze. I don't like watching insecure girls as main characters, they just make girls look lame tbh. I think her design is cute though, except for that I hate her bag.

>>372628>I doubt this was made for troon pandering, idk why everyone took that and ran.The game has had a troon team leader since day 1 and has been praised for it a lot, it's even standard these days for (american) games to pander to troons, idk why you think it's so farfetched that they choose to keep pandering. No game is just adding "they/them" options, transflags and the ability to put boobs on a male body by accident or to NOT pander.
>And when you adjust the model that way it does look as “female” as the previousSee for example
>>371850 nobody is saying "they need to have BBL levels or have huge breasts and hips" women are just pissed off they now have to adjust a male body to make it look like a female, and unlike what you claim they can't even make it look as female as before.

>>372643I’m just speaking on all the criticism that’s “omg she has no boobs or ass” or “my character is male for not having the right hip waist ratio” and when I see ragebaits purposefully made to show the worst comparison. I redownloaded the game just to check it out because I saw all this controversy and it was shockingly fine. It sucks if people got used to the previous proportions and design but it’s not more bad to me than only having one overall option for a female character that limits your appearance to strictly female style and poses.

>>372506It was definitely not made because of troons lol That's trying a little hard to project.
>>372643Yes they are, Baulder's Gate. The models are there just for a bunch of customizations, you don't have to make silly avatars if you don't want to, but some people will make ones for their troonery, some won't. Some will just want boobs on a male body because they think it's hilarious like
>>371851 these idiots.
>>372664I understand what you mean anon and I agree, I think it's overblown tbh. They will probably still keep tweaking or updating the avatar system too. It's a mobile game made by pokemon, what I'm wondering is why they don't just do the same type of 3D characters you can customize that they have in the games currently. They are cuter and people probably prefer those ones. They also already have all the assets, they just need to implement it. They can even gatekeep costs with more of the fancy type hair and stuff if they want, it just would be cuter overall. Especially because the Pokemon are still cartoony looking and you don't even see other trainers in 3D using the AR, so who cares what they look like outside of profiles or standing in a gym?

>>372680I'm more into GO than most people, and I know social media people who are affiliated with pokemon GO in person (think people who get paid to travel all over the world for GO events). One of their number 1 feedback points directly talking to niantic employees has been "more trans representation" for years. These people are really huge on social justice, and the big names all know of each other (in a "professional" way) and discuss community feedback together so the same talking points get echoed a lot.
And like it's already been said this is a game that prided itself on having troon characters "so everyone can feel included" already. Idk why you try to deny it's a factor when troon pandering is done in every big game, at schools, in politics, all over social media… it's not a new thing at all.
