I think Sneasel and Weavile would make great terf mons. So many great traits and they have an air of discernment.

every single female-only species is a terf, of course. Froslass can clock a male Snorunt/Glalie in drag from a mile away. Also - glaLIE. Coincidence? I think not.

As much as I love Terf punk Azumarill, I just remembered there's this glitch where female Azurill has 1/3 chance of changing to male after evolving to Marill because of its gender ratio and personality traits. Gladly it's fixed in later Pokemon games.

I see both sides of the argument. On one hand it's a bit "pink = girls", on the other hand I love how in mythos female creatures that fairies are typically based on often only target men to kill them kek

Though of course if we wanna keep a secret terf symbol it's easier to stick to what is already established, in this case azumarill!

No. 378079

>>377994
I think that's perfect, because contrary to troom belief the way to create terfs faster is to be in contact with troonism, which then gets corrected when you peak. They used to say "listen to trans people" but stopped using the slogan because it backfired on them. It's people who have been listening who realize it's all bullshit!

nonas, what pokemon would/could you keep and care for if you, right now, were a trainer?
What would your dream pokemon or pokemon-related job be?

I'd keep a Budew or a Cherrim. My place gets an ok amount of light and they wouldn't need a lot of space or walks every day. I would take it outside to walk the blocks and get brunch for us on weekends.
My dream pokemon would be a girl Sneasel but I would have to change if I wanted to be a good non-doormat trainer who doesn't spoil her too much.

i'd have a hard time choosing just one. marshadow is my ultimate fave but he's a mythical poke.
i guess it'd yave to be either togekiss or gengar (but i'll never be as cool as picrel).
togekiss is supercute, he can fly and he's supposed to spread joy and happiness. plus he has french flag volours and im a baguettefag. i'd name him concorde
gengar is creepycute and having a pet ghost would be cool. both can kick arse when necessary

i love so many pokemon that would be impractical to live with comfortably. i think in my younger years i would have been traveling around battling and being a tryhard but as i get older i'd be settling down with a butterfree around the house, probably making pokemon medicine and selling it (butterfree could help with my plants) or something like that!

the fact is, she’s a child in a child’s game. if she looks that young it’s more probable that she’s meant to appeal to the ipad babies than lolicons. seeing such a tame design with virtually no freak dog whistles and immediately thinking of them is nuts, that was my point. i don’t know how you got me being a lolicon from my post, or any insinuation that i (or anyone else) is calling the character hot. go play on reading rainbow for a bit you obviously need it kek

Buneary was my favorite Pokémon as a kid. It's such a cute design. Mega Lopunny is still one of my favorites, I like its typing. I'm still pissed they got rid of mega evolution. This is autistic, but I dislike the way regular Lopunny is posed, because you can't tell whether its wool is part of its chest or its arms. It's only apparent if you watch the anime that the wool is on its wrists.

You're the first fan of her I've seen, that's cute nona!

Speaking of legends, I was reading up about Sanqua and it annoys me that even bulbapedia says she has a "striking resemblance to Karen AND Clair" when she doesn't look like Clair, that's just speculation based on a quest where text only says she has "weird clothes and a cape" in her house. Might as well be a hint at Lance (who is the champion of the elite 4 Karen is in)(ai outside of containment threads)

i loved her in legends. in general it was rly fun to see whi each character was related to, even some minor ones like shopkeepers in the village were based on sinnoh characters.

>>387235 I feel like she has a small group of fans. I suppose I should be happy that she didn't get the Rika treatment. I was so excited to see Sanqua! Dont really see the Clair resemblance either. Maybe blue hair? Sanqua even has an Umbreon like Karen, though. Someone put that Irida looked like May in her page and I didn't see that either, though.

That's literally it, but the shade is clearly the same as Karen's and NOT the same as Clairs. It's like saying she looks like Lana and Falkner too just because they have shades of blue hair too.

I don't think Irida was intentionally made to look like May either tbh. It's mostly just the similar color choices. When they make references they make them pretty obvious because they do want you to notice it. Tbh I don't really like Iridas designs purely because they made her noodle limb skinny, even just looking at these two next to each other is weird - May is supposed to be 10-12ish and looks bigger than Iridia who is at least in her late teens, if not older. At least assuming she's meant to match Adaman which is the impression I got, and not that she was a literal kid.

Pokemon knows how to do furbait. Quaquaval is not furbait kek it's just poor concept realization. IMO they jammed too many different bird elements onto one bird. The mix of peacock/duck/whatever lobed foot bird they ripped for those red monstrosities resulted in an overdesigned mess to begin with and then adding in the carnival animations further muddied the waters. I don't really see an element of attempting to appeal to furfags in that though when they know what works historically in that regard and Quaquaval is nothing close to that.

I can forgive designs like meowscarada and lopunny because they are actually fairly cute designs that can be enjoyed by normies, but quaquaval is ugly AND bait.

iirc this pic is from a movie or trailer? melmetal isn't in snap
but new snap is definitely a nice game with a decent amount of content. it takes quite a while if you wnat to finish the dex. it's good if you want a really chill and relaxing game where you just ibserve pokemon in their natural habitats and whatch hiw they react when you interact with them. it doesn't have a deep story or anything but there's a lot of possibilities since you can influence the pokémons' actions, make them interact with each other etc.

Off to a great start. I'm also realizing I'm really not too fond of open worlds but that's subjective. I didn't mind it in PLA because the whole point was to explore the region at your own pace and going to new places would make the maps more detailed little by little but the map in SV is already filled and there are checkmarks everywhere. I'll see if I feel like getting the most out of this game or if I'll just try to do the main quests and nothing else.

When Scarlet and Violet first came out, I beat the game and I didn't pick it back up until a few days before the DLC came out and I tried to replay it on a side account to justify a future purchase of the DLC, but god knows how I was able to beat it the first time when all the issues you mentioned were so blatant. Literally haven't picked it back up since. Pretty much every other Pokemon game on the switch is more entertaining and engaging to play.

The DLC is included in the game in my case so I'll check them out, but if the devs didn't correct all the technical issues in the game to begin with I'm assume the DLC won't be very interesting. Everyone complained about ShSw and often for good or understandable reasons but at least in my case the only real technical issues I had when playing Shield was in the wild area whenever I activated the online features and everything became slower. Which didn't happen nearly as often when playing the DLC even though the areas were bigger so at least there was some improvement at some point.

I kept saying this but other than here in the pokemon thread both irl friends and other anons on lc would accuse me of wanting "generic anime coomer designs" instead. As if the previously established style was coomery by default, and as if the style isn't generally recognisable on its own???

Finally someone who agrees with me, thank god. The first seasons of the anime looked like your average 90s shonen manga and the official artworks for the gen 1 games afew decades ago wouldn't have looked out of place in the shonen jump back then, they're anything but coomery. The human characters and the pokemon actually looked like they belonged in the same franchise. I think anyone accusing us of this must be blind or must be confusing "character design/clothes" and "art style", which is stupid on its own.

I think the style developing is natural, as we see in >>388487 but to me it always felt like pokemon developed with other anime and just adapted to the current standard while still remaining "pokemon", but now all of a sudden they took a left turn towards western cartoons and nobody likes it.
I'm hoping it's just a leftover from the pandemic that made all the models look terrible. I have theories they cut out a lot of things from the games due to the pandemic, but it's all speculation.

yeah i'm not criticizing the style evolution so much (sugimori's new style is polished and more unique, the old style is just nostalgic to me) as the common critique of everyone being overdesigned. the characters of gen 1 and 2 are memorable without having insane clothes and hair. not every random side character has to have "main character" levels of design. hell a lot of them have more crap on their clothes and hair than the protags do.
also this is a pet peeve of mine but i hate when non-adult characters are gym leaders or elite four members. you're telling me this child runs their own gym? where are their parents? do they go to school? i mean yeah obviously your protag isn't going to school in every game and basically wandering around being a pokemon hobo but why should i have any respect for a gym leader or elite 4 member who's my age or younger? these characters were all adults in previous games because they were supposed to be mentors. you were supposed to learn things from them. they aren't leaders just for being "the best" (falkner being one exception but he basically shows you what the gym of a nepo baby looks like and shouldn't be emulated.)

I agree, but ever since gen 5 the devs try to pretend we should all give a fuck about having to read/watch long cutscenes that get in the way of gameplay. Pokemon and Fire Emblem may be JRPGs but I believe having long cutscenes is a net negative in these games. I don't feel like this about other JRPGs I play, just these two series but especially Pokemon because the setting should matter more than the story in these games.

While I do like them because of nostalgia, the ones who stand out as the best and most memorable are Erika, Lance, Falkner, Clair… all the ones that did look a bit "weird" and with odd hair colors. I generally like the newer designs, especially Alola and Galar for having a consistent theme yet making characters destinct from each other. However Paldea for some reason doesn't do it for me at all.
>also this is a pet peeve of mine but i hate when non-adult characters are gym leaders or elite four members. you're telling me this child runs their own gym? where are their parents? do they go to school?
I hate it when they're clearly less than 10 like Poppy (especially since it's franchise lore that 10 year olds start a journey), but other than that my pet peeve is when real life adults insist kids in a magical world where adventuring has been established from the get go still insist they have to go to school (no offense anon, I just find it bizarre that's always where the line is drawn).
>these characters were all adults in previous games

That's only in the anime, it's not that specific in the games. Red and Blue are 11 in gen 1, same with the kids in gen 7, and aside from that iirc it's only implied that the protagonists in XY are at the very least 17 or 18 years old based on the post game scene with one named NPC.

What are you referring to here? I very highly doubt they're meant to be legal adults, I'd bet 16 at most since that's the age Hilda and Hilbert are in BW2 (you only play as them at age 14 in BW) and Emma in XY is 16 too. I think the highest confirmed age you can play as is "around 15" in legends arceus.

That's Emma. She's confirmed to be 16 but I can't see any references of her actually calling the player older other than when you first meet she asks if Looker and player wants to play with them, small child npc then says "no adults allowed" and Emma tells her (and espurr)
>"Oh, put a sock in it! Play nice, both of you! How would you like to get left out just 'cause you're old and stuff?"
Looker is right there and he's the one talking to Emma, later in the story she calls him an old man again. It really doesn't seem like she's saying the player is old.

"looking" like a teen means nothing in pokemon, nor does "acting" like one. most characters act pretty childish despite their age. i mean there's an old man in vermilion who does nothing but talk about how much he loves to hug his rapidash.

Wasn't really arguing against that, it's just always been a thing. In Alola being a teenager is required to be a trial captain, I think that's worse than a couple of kids here and there being a gym leader based on skill. I can buy a skilled teen is the only one who is able and willing to be a gym leader who happens to be the only master of that particular type (since most trainers don't focus on just one type). But having kids in the elite 4 is stupid, I just don't buy someone that young has the experience and skill over adults who have trained for years.

Gym leaders maybe, but it’s a bit of a stretch with the elite four and champion since they’re apparently a group that people train to get into (ie: Koga for the elite four)
I’m not really seeing any reason why a 9 year old shouldn’t be allowed in though since the elite four seems to be skilled based.

I actually played both scarlet and violet and scarlet just hits SO much harder because it's his mom who is cold and distant (and then dead).

It wasn't really implied other than the fact that it was a colleague to the professor who then walked out because the professor was so obsessed with their job. I think if anything that should prove it isn't the other professor, since they're both obsessive about the same field of studies. And if the other professor existed in canon with the other they'd both be famous professors, assuming Sada wasn't like forced to be a stay at home mom who never made it instead. Sada and Turo aren't really different characters, they're different versions of the same character - at least until any kind of new evidence points to something else.

I'm the dragon autist in my friend group and I still don't like most dragon types in pokemon, because they're just not "real" dragons. Charizard is one of a few pokemon that is a dragon, and it's not even a dragon type (except the mega which is in one gen and got tacked on like 20 years after it was made). Gyarados is imo one of the best designed pokemon dragons (eastern, obviously) and it doesn't even get a dragon type mega form!

kek just in case you're trying to infight with me because of >>389634 I just wanted to say I don't think dragon types don't deserve the typing or anything like that. For me it's that I love dragons but pokemon dragons don't flick my dragon-autist switch so I'm not into them "as dragons". I adore altaria as a fluffy bird, tatsugiri is adorable as a fish etc but in my mind it's not a "dragon" just because it happens to have the type in pokemon.

I will never not be upset that they made Rika the most positive and good stereotypical lesbian character and the troons immediately say she's trans.

I've posted about this transbian in other threads but buckle up because this guy is a ride. Spoilering his ugly male face, because ew.
He's very active in local anime conventions, in particular pokemon fandoms (unfortunately for us…) he's infamous online for changing his legal name to his favorite yuri ship. Why? Because he's obsessed with lesbian porn, in particular yuri, he's been running a yuri review blog for years. He cites yuri as a reason he realized he's trans. He's been called out online for making young girls feel uncomfortable (naturally, since he's a straight man). He likes dressing like butch lesbians in particular, and since he looks 100% male you couldn't even tell he's a troon most of the time, he got the chop and boob implants like a month ago tho. He is also an autist with ADHD and has alluded to having addiction problems. Great combo huh?

In case any other nonas are nordic and going to conventions here, please beware of this guy. He WILL be there, and he's creepy as fuck. For balance I would like nonas to post your favorite pokemon cosplays so we can get cleansed from seeing this guys poor version of it.

Ever since the shitty new games, I've been thinking of a perfect Pokemon game. Trying to think up a way to "shake up the system", make the games fun and playable again, while also fixing some (imo) horrid mistakes.
So here's my perfect game:
>Gym and Elite Four system based on colors, not elements
>Gyms use pokemon that are of the same color group, i.e. red gym leader would use Electrode, Delphox, Octillery, etc.
>Start from purple/violet gym and go through ROYGBIV. Elite Four uses black, white, and two other colors that are somehow appealing but I'm too lazy to look up atm
>Shiny Pokemon are fair game to use in gym teams and Elite Four teams, too
>Champion uses a team of various shiny Pokemon, pre-determined randomization of colors picked at the beginning of the game (so you can't soft reset for a diff. team just before you fight them).
>No Gen 8+ pokemon (hated them)
>SHINY COLOR REDESIGNS, for all the ugly/lazy shinies like Chansey, Mismagius, Gengar, Garchomp, Togekiss, etc.

Having gym leaders not be type specialists is boring imo. I'd prefer if they had 1 type but had a few pokemon not of that type but that have moves, mega, or tera form etc etc so they still fit in - they used to do this and I miss it. To me it makes sense that if you're the fire type leader you'd want to also master fire type moves in non-fire type pokemon to prove how your type really is the best. Gyarados with flamethrower for example It also serves as more of a challenge while showing players that gyarados can be taught a move like that.

Alternatively I think they could be specialists in other ways that make sense (imo colors are too arbitrary) like have a bird pokemon only gym regardless of their type, only pokemon that live under water, robot-like pokemon with an electric type thrown in to power them and so on.

Colors are fun, but they're more suited for a side thing that's not gym leaders imo.

That's basically Lance in gen 2 games, since there weren't enoygh dragon type pokemon back then he also had pokemon that are dragons but not dragon type. iirc Pokemon Masters EX references this. iirc there were so few fire type pokemon in Pearl and Diamond that the fire type trainer in the league has pokemon from different types as well but I played Platinum instead so maybe another anon will correct me on that. Raihan has his own gimmick with weather moves which I really liked. Aside from them I think that idea isn't used enough and could work for next games.

def AI just photoshopped to make it less obvious. like how he added the vaporeon to one pic. the lightning is very ai like and the way the pink flowers are just ill-defined blobs that exactly follow the shape of that eevee is suspiscious.
even if it wasn't ai it's pretty trite and unimaginative, most tcg art is better. picrel is much more charming without needing to be elaborate.

I hate that the AI entries likely won't be publicly addressed by TPC and they will just silently not pick those suspected entries due to the backlash for the next round. Granted, my understanding is that they would have been filtered by the later rounds since they require line art and unshaded colouring alongside the finished submission. At least some actual nice art got picked, too. I hope any of the Feraligatr pieces go on.

I miss the Mystery Dungeon series so much. I've always preferred it over the main games, both for the story and because the world always felt so fun and vibrant. I love how it gave a lot of personality to the Pokemon themselves, and focused more on them than the human characters. I really hope the series isn't dead, but considering how rare non-mobile spin-off games have become, I'm not optimistic…

Incredibly boring answer, but I think I would have an eevee, and take care of it as one would a housecat.

I'm surprised bulbapedia doesn't seem to even mention the design obviously being based on the cheese string mascot when it's so obvious and memes where made on day 1 of it being seen.

I'm tinfoiling a tiny bit as I don't think they've said who designed it, but I fully think it was James Turner as I know he drew fanart of it early on so he's clearly attracted to it and it's very much his style. The question is did he rip off the design without telling the rest of game freak so they didn't know it wasn't an original design? It seems odd to me that they'd make a (somewhat) big deal out of the 1000th pokemon when it's a heavily derivative unoriginal design.

And again, why the fuck is bulbapedia pretending the rip off design isn't related to the cheese guy? It's like they're embarrassed to admit the resemblance and that all pokemon aren't totally original

I think it's fine even tho I hate paldea designs. Every generation has its own style and it's not going to appeal to everyone. I saw a guy who hated alola (which is my personal favorite, I think alola has so many banger designs) and he loved paldea saying they have the best designs so far of any game. I think the next gen will have a new style again and it will be fine… I feel like SV designs appeal more to moids than females because the only people I've seen loving it have all been male.

I will forever hate Charizard for stealing the spotlight away from Dragapult. Dragapult should have been Leon's ace Pokemon instead just like how the ace Pokemon of previous champions (and Ghetsis) were the pseudo-legendaries of their respective regions. In Diantha's case, her ace is Gardevoir because no Gen 6 Pokemon were given mega evolution fsr. But in SWSH, Gen 8 Pokemon were able to Giganamax too, so they could have definitely given Dragapult a G-max form. But no, that wasn't possible because Charizard just HAD to be shilled to the death once again.
I don't like G-maxing all that much, but Dragapult is one Pokemon that really should have gotten one. Its stealth bomber design inspiration is just begging for a G-max form.

And they all sucked dick. Fuck, dude, I want pocket MONSTERS. Call me an oldfag "genwunner" but damn, those designs were fucking cool as hell. I like that some of them had claws/fangs, even the cute ones. I like that some of them were based on Japanese mythology (which no American kid in the 90s knew about). I loved that they all had unique silhouettes that weren't just "blob with 4 legs coming out of it". And the whole "genetics/artificial creation" theme of gen 1 was fucking awesome. The Bulbasaur line pulled that off so well. The fact that there were cool fossilized Pokemon you could bring back to life was every kid's dream. They felt more "real", as odd as that sounds. Like they had weight to them, like they could move around and exist as actual, living creatures. The new designs lack that more and more with each new generation.

A lot of people just had a massive hate-boner for (new) pokemon "based on objects" back then. Personally i just thought vanilluxe was gross because it had 2 merged heads/faces, and yes I also hated weezing and exeggutor for the same reason. But I always thought vanillite was cute and clever

In general I love JT's designs, but I really hate the "bad" ones like bruxish and buzzwole. We do have a lot to thank him for when it comes to knowing the process of pokemon creation stuff as he would run his mouth on twitter probably a bit more than game freak liked kek he just straight up told us the pokemon designer sometimes but not always picked the shiny colors too for example.

If you don't count Arceus, SuMo was the last main game I played. Dexit, the removal of megas, and the overall quality issues with the games have ruined new Pokemon installments for me. I only play fangames these days. Arceus was a one-off because it got good reviews.

I like the story when it's lore and worldbuilding, like the journal entries in the ship in Hoenn, or the old man in Alola who wants you to find his old friends who used to battle together. Small interactions with npcs and lore are great. I love the world building and the legends in Sinnoh and how everyone's always talking about the mysteries. I hated the story in Unova, especially the original Black and White, but I loved the little details and conversations the characters have with each other, and the growth we seem them have when we meet up again. It's like Animal Crossing in that sense where there's writing, but not plot.
I like exploring. I like the regions and the unique locations you can visit and the stories that are told from the environments.
I like the pokemon! I love raising them, collecting them, seeing what other characters are doing with them, minigames, etc. I like collecting items. I really just like exploring with my team the most. I liked in the early games how the people were in tandem with the pokemon, the pokemon felt like their own characters. A full, exciting world full of beautiful things to see and things to do is my favorite. As such, I fucking hated Paldea, and its hideous, empty world, and emphasis on human characters, and the pokemon just feel like character ornaments, except for the sad doggo and ugly bike dragon.

Do you nonas have pokemon OCs?

Mini vent, me and my friends make them all the time, but one of them always use her same 10-15ish pokemon over and over (and 9 of those are the eevee line) for literally every trainer and it gets so repetitive to hear about it… they also all have similar sounding names and the same kind of fashion style. I just literally cannot tell any of her OCs apart at all. The rest of us have talked about it but we're afraid to tell her that since she's just having fun. But it's really like a child drawing (she doesn't draw them though) the same thing over and over and every time you have to say "wow that's so nice dear" or she starts to cry. It's been years. And she expects full attention and comments on all her OCs too. Like half of us are on the spectrum and we don't do that, so we can't just blame it on that kek

I know this is fucking random, but over the last 20 years I've heard so many kids say something alone the lines of
>"My fave pokemon is ditto! Because it can transform into ALL pokemon, so I get all of them!"
>"If I could only have one pokemon for real it would be ditto so it can transform into the rest"
And it's now a full on pet peeve for me, because they don't even like ditto! They just want it as a "gotcha" the same way people say they'd ask the 3-wish genie for infinite wishes. A transformed ditto is also not the same as a charizard - it's still just a ditto. And guess what, it can only copy what it sees so if your friends don't have your favorite pokemon it still can't transform into them.

Sorry for the reply to old posts, but do you have any recommendations for fangames? I think SuMo is when I realized the magic had died for me with the main games. I still go back to old games, and I absolutely adore them, so I don't think I outgrew the franchise or anything. I'd prefer if they had pixel graphics, as few fan-mons as possible (personal preference, but I can overlook it if you think the game is really good), and a good sense of humor or story (just like fun dialogue, likable characters, that sort of thing; the story doesn't have to be an epic scale). I really like the actual world of Pokemon and the experience of finding all kinds of fun little details and NPCs, so anything that kind of replicates the experience of Gens 1-5 especially would be very nice. Sorry if this is super non-specific kek.

I'm the opposite, I love that the characters are more fun and not so normie looking nowadays. Though I'm not a fan of the literal thorns in Brassius hair and things like that - it should still be hair. Kris in gen 2 had bright blue/green hair that defies gravity tho so it's not like it's just new characters that have wacky hair.

Right now I'm more upset that all the hair options for the player and trainer classes in SV are so fucking boring and basic when the gym leaders and team star get to have wild anime hair, at least make it consistent within the region… even worse is that after the DLC we found out team stars hair was fake, they just chose to style that way. Eri isn't even blonde ffs!

i like mina's design minus the paint on her face, looks a little sped-y. the paint in the hair and on her arm is fine though, since that looks more like typical paint splatters and less like she dragged a paintbrush across her face on purpose like a tard. she's a good recent normie design, though.

>>398265
it's not regional

No. 398273

Easy to see why they made that decision when the 4 first regions are all based on regions of Japan, they weren't meant to be countries or anything like that.

nation = bigger than region. i guess they could call it "global dex" but they probably don't want to bother changing the name after having it so long.

No. 398279

>>398214
I disagree. I think the paint splatter and overall look of Mina is more whimsical and thus more fairy like, while Ilima's whole thing is a "straight-A student normie". I don't think they were swapped at all, just that they made cute little references to each other on purpose.

Not an attack on you nona, but idk why pokemon fans are so obsessed with the idea that nothing in pokemon is thought out or planned and things just randomly gets swapped around last minute with no changes in designs to reflect it. If they had made Mina the normal type trainer and given her green paint specifically to reflect that she has a normal type smeargle, then WHY would they decide to ditch that whole concept last minute and not even do the bare minimum of changing the green to any other color?
Are you saying their locations are swapped so the popular social school prince lives out in the middle of nowhere, and the "wandering artist" who wants to be alone is stuck in a school?
Or would the types just be swapped so the first trial is the newest most exciting fairy type (introduced just 1 gen prior) despite it being (and Ilima living) around the earliest routes where the regions basic normal types live? And the last island trial is the most boring basic normal type?

It just seems way more likely to me that they'd go "hey wouldn't it be cute if she had green paint like a smeargle since she's a painter? Maybe she even knows Ilima since he's the normal type expert"

No. 398280

>nation = bigger than region.
Yes, exactly what I said? It's called the national dex because all the regions together = a nation. Specifically it was the "nation" of Japan, tho they've obviously expanded since then.

My first was a Barboach I caught in DP, at the lake there's at left of Eterna City.
His story is kinda funny, I realy wanted a Milotic but didnt know about Feebas (I had no internet connection at the time), so I tried to catch and train every fish pokemon avaible to see which one evolved into it & when it was Barboach's turn, the one I fished was shiny!
I had no idea shiny pokemon existed, so I almost turned off my console thinking it was a glitch, but luckly the sparkles made me reconsider kek
I got so dissapointed when I evolved him and found out Whiscash only had darker colors instead of being golden though… (But I still love him)

I got a shiny Budew in Platinum randomly while training a Charmander a friend gifted me, I lost that game a while ago sadly but I still remember how shocked I felt. It was on an R4 tho so at least I didn't lose an actual copy of Platinum.

It's more about exposure. Pikachu clones are usually the mascots of their generation and are used by some notable characters, especially in the anime. Dawn has a Pachirisu, Iris has an Emolga, Bonnie has a Dedenne, Sophocles has a Togedemaru, James and Marnie have Morpeko, and Nemona has a Pawmot.
Not sure if Marill and Mimikyu count, but Tracy and James have them.

>she's really moidgazey
I don't agree on that at all. She seems to be the "crazy girl" stereotype that edgy girls like to think they are. She's similar to Jessie in the anime. The only "sexy" thing about her is wearing shorts and thigh high socks. Even in the same game Nessa is just wearing a sports bikini, Melony is a milf with curves and while I don't agree people itt call Marnie "lolibait" for wearing a cute pink dress.

I like that about her design, despite it looking "bad". She wants to be the poison type gym leader so she wears the uniform despite it not fitting her at all. Yet she tries to do her fake-nice kawaii egirl shit on top of it and it doesn't match. It's reflecting her personality, she's trying to cover her toxic self but failing because we can still see it under the kawaii facade she puts on

ayrt thank you nona! I think they usually put a lot of effort into character design even if it's not clear from the story. At least the newer characters, I think the old ones are more staight forward. For example Lt Surge from gen 1 is pretty much just a tough army guy. He's cool though, and it works!
By gen 6 we have designs like Wulfric, he is the embodiment of a walrus with his fat and facial hair that looks like tusks. His love for cold and ice type makes it so he doesn't even need to wear his jacket in the freezing cold. He wears his jacket around his throat like to mimic a cape, to show just how confident he is, and to create a triangular shape so he looks like an iceberg. He's just an old fat guy, but they still manage to make him look cool and have personality imo.
