Pokemon is a japanese media franchise consisting of video games, animated series and films, a trading card game, and other related media. The franchise takes place in a shared universe in which humans co-exist with creatures known as Pokemon, a large variety of species endowed with special powers.

Post your least favorite human designs from pokemon!
I'll go first, this ugly mf… Burgh was designed to appeal to the female gaze, yet he is one of the ugliest males in the entire series.
I think what happened is that this male designer took all the points the women gave him "tall and slim, longer hair, scarves are fashionable" and through his maleness implemented it in a terrible way because he fundamentally didn't understand what about those things were appealing to women.

But no, gotta make it so expensive I end up actively telling my friends not to give them money out of spite.

>>404302I used to be really into it during the 3DS/gen 7 era but the national dex cuts made it lose its appeal to me and I haven't really been invested in it since. I liked the Random, Ubers, and Anything Goes tiers on Showdown and did a lot of RNG manipulation and egg hatching for good mons on 3DS and did some online battles on there too. The Random battles on PS are the easiest to get into and are a fun time waster. There was always the occasional bitter and retarded moid/moidlet on there back when I still played but grey-rocking and trolling them was funny especially since I pretty much always won against them. I never really got into playing the VGC/doubles format though. Smogon is your best friend and False Swipe Gaming does a lot of interesting videos you might want to watch about the competitive history of many different pokes.

>>404302I feel I'm too dumb for it. I've been playing pokémon my whole life but I still forget that certain type combos or abilities make certain attacks useless… and honestly because I know most players are sweaty moids I know they'd judge me not just for being bad at competitive, but they'd say it's because I'm female and I'd give all female players a bad rep that way.
If there was an all female battle league where everyone is just chill I'd be so into it. But I also know if anyone attempted to make a league like that troons would demand access, so the options are then to play with degenerate male troons or be shunned by the rest of the fandom as part of the evil transphobe league. There is no winning.

Slight blog but I had no idea how Japanese names worked back then and I was so overjoyed when I like a deacade later grew up to find out not only was she female, she was also the actual designer behind a ton of the most iconic pokémon! At that point I thought Ken Sugimori had designed every early gen pokémon (as did all the other kids around me) so to find out a woman did it made me so happy. Bear in mind this is also after me being told "pokémon is for BOYS" a lot as a kid. Charizard was made by a woman suckers! Go play with sticks and stones boys, pokémon is for GIRLS!

How do you card collecting anons go about collecting? Do you buy singles of the cards you like or just take what you get from booster packs? Do you deal with trading/selling? How often do you purchase new cards and do you have a budget for it at all?
And how do you organize your collections? I've been putting mine in a binder in order of pokedex number but keeping evolution lines together but it's a pain in the ass when adding new cards so I don't think this is the best system so I'm curious what other anons do.
No. 404965
>>404934I have bulk sorted in piles in a box and only put my favorites into binders. I sort them by pokemon and sometimes group them in ways that make sense to me, for example I like to collect all starters and eeveelutions. I also have collections that are like "pretty grass types" or "cards (I personally think are) related to team rocket". So I'll put both actual team Rocket cards and zubats and poochyena there. I do not care about dex order at all.
I also put all legendaries and full arts in a binder since they're more rare.
I generally do not buy singles, however I make an exception around my birthday every year and buy up to 20 cards of my absolute favorite pokemon that I can't pull in packs anymore anyway. Luckily my faves aren't super popular pokemon so the cards are cheap kek

I find SV ok, I just beat the main game and I started the DLC. It would have been a lot better if not for all these annoying technical issues that made me not even try to play online. But unlike gen 6, 7 and 8 I don't feel like trying to complete the pokedex. It's not because I lack free time or find it difficult and annoying, I just didn't like the game enough to feel like it's worth it. Did anyone manage to complete the pokedex, at least for the main region and not for the pokedex from the DLC? How long did it take?
>>403989I'd find her character design so much better if it weren't for her bicolor hair. I really dislike how a lot of characters have bicolor hair in SV in general, it looks dumb or ugly. Except for Larry because it just looks like some older guy who's starting to have white hair little by little.

it took 80 or so hours which is not that much comapred to older games. i havent tried the dlc or picked it back up at all since i finished the dex bc it's a pretty boring game overall. i usually clock 300-400 hours in pokémon games easily, it's the first timd i get bored this fast with a main series game.

>>405072>Did anyone manage to complete the pokedex, at least for the main region and not for the pokedex from the DLC? How long did it take?Idk how long it took but I found it WAY easier than in pretty much all previous games. You don't have to go out of your way to look for pokemon in the same way since you can see them in the overworld, and there are now high level wild pokemon and fully evolved ones that used to be hard to get walking around or in easy raids.
>>405122>i usually clock 300-400 hours in pokémon games easily, it's the first timd i get bored this fast with a main series game.Same! The DLC made the game a lot better tho in my opinion, but SV still has a glaring lack of "dailies". There's no reason to check in every day like older games had with timed or daily events for ribbons, berries or a lottery and so on. I don't like plain battles that much, so I don't like doing raids which is the only thing in daily rotation and I find outbreak shiny hunting boring… I wish there was a game corner, battle frontier or contests… or something new and fun. Absolutely insane that they don't have a racing minigame in some capacity when your mount is a bike and the outfits are all biker outfits. The only main series game I played less of is LGPE.

>>406499TPC only acknowledges the anime (kid's money) and phone games (gatcha addict's money). The manga is just made for another aducience, and considering for how long it has been running for, it seems TPC still sees it as profitable even if they don't rehash it.
I think its better that way to be honest, doing its own thing and being free of having to appeal to the mainstream demographic (though sadly the pace Gamefreak has been releasing games is getting to the manga as well, as it progressed the main characters had less original changes when it came to their personality/backstory because it's hard to catch up with the games so they got less time to make up stuff)

You still want your characters to stand on their own, you don't get customized version of the merch. I know plenty of girls who happily get Dawn or Serena figurines and posters because they love them as "characters" or just the design but I can't imagine anyone feels that way for Juliana. I frankly haven't seen a single person who loves her design, at best I get "aw it's not that bad, I kinda like it" as a reaction.
It's also ridiculous that we don't even get the option to look like a main character when npcs like Brassius gets to have thorns in his hair and Iono gets split hair colors. There's not even a long hair option in the game! There's no option not to look plain!

Maybe it's because I don't follow the anime, but aside from the player and their friends most characters don't look like kids. When I first played Sun/Moon I thought the plant and water leaders where young adults as well, but apparently they're kids according to the anime…?
Anime art can make it difficult to distinguish between ages since it aims to make everyone pretty, so I can see why some people will think they look like kids and/or adults to their point of view, unless they're very obvious.

That said, the US store has worse quality than the JP one (for example I remember the halloween plushes were missing the hanging pieces, or if they have them, they're made of felt) and many collections are exclusive to JP since they're collabs with japanese brands/stores, so I prefer getting stuff off Sugura-ya/Mercari JP.

To bring them back they'd have to completely rethink the entire game play system and at that point is it even a ranger game?

Even some connecting to real life like the Ruins of Alph being inspired by the archaeological sites in Asuka or the controversial theory of the Regi trio being connected to the WWII bombing.>also people mentioning about scrapped content or inaccessible areas in the games the like the locked power plant doors, Kalos mythicals, scrapped Rhyhorn race in XY, scrapped golf course in SUMO, etc. Just imagine what they could've been like if Game Freak gave more time in fleshing out the games. Maybe they were orginally supposed to have more exploration, future mythical events or more minigames. It's more of a disappointment but it's interesting to talk about.>Legends Arceus has some really nice areas like the Cottonsedge Prairie or the Fabled Spring but I don't see much people complimenting them besides towns and cities in other main line games even though I like them too.

Been a bit trying to come up with a reason of why everyone looks so bad, but I really can't.

>>422155>What's their goal here? This is a very serious question because they don't need to make extra efforts to cater to Western markets.I really do not fucking get it at all.

The only people who don't like it are 60+ year olds art teachers who think it's not "real" art, and guess what, pokemon GO now have their wallet in a death grip anyway. People who are in their 30s now more often than not literally grew up watching anime in their childhood, and the younger they are the more anime they've grown up with.
>>422193>Either the tinfoil anon from some time ago about Japan/GF being racist is rightI legit can't tell if game freak/japan is casually racist as fuck (they are), or if they're now partly run by westaboos who're desperately trying to emulate the tumblr troon art style and they're convinced that's what the "progressive west" loves.

The ugly faces really started to creep up with 3D models being used in game, I remember thinking just a few characters in Alola looked a little bit too cartoony. Then in Galar, even more of them looked ugly and very noticeably potato-nosed. Paldea comes around and 90% of them look fucking disfigured. So over all I'm inclined to think it's just a bad style change and not racism. Well that is until I remember legends arceus exists which is again set in Japan and they all look normal and not western cartoony at all.

>>422241>Then in Galar, even more of them looked ugly and very noticeably potato-nosed. At least SWSH has a reason for the weird art style change, James Turner was the art director for that gen and his personal art is very cartoony.
It is kind of weird though since he's clearly capable of designing cooler things (Shadow Lugia) but maybe his tastes changed
On that note the only explanation I have for is that someone else was calling the shots because I don't want to believe Mana Ibe's human art is ugly (only see drawing pokemon)
No. 422515
>>422369Even though they're the art director it doesn't seem like they're responsible for all the human designs. In swsh Take designed all the gym leaders and imo they look nice and like regular anime, except for Opal and her giant witch nose but at least the witchy intentions were clear then. So I wonder how many humans in general were James design/direction, or if he just trusted a certain artist to do the job. And that artist in turn happened to have a certain style. Also James Turner actually designed the 2 professors in SV, and imo they're some of the very few good designs in those games. So I don't think it was really his fault either…?
So Mana Ibe could have trusted the designs to some artist with shitty taste, even if she herself wouldn't have drawn it like that. She would still have to sign off on it though.
Honestly if I was the art director of the region with the ugliest characters (by a lot too) I'd be so embarrassed.

Now that these designs have been exposed, they're forever unusable to game freak as they're no longer new to the public. It's like someone came in a licked all the cupcakes, on the surface they look the same but you can't ever sell those now.
I fully believe this is the main reason they don't do those cool concept art books, because to them all the designs and ideas still have potential so they don't want to give them up. But now they've all been made useless. So if you see a cool leak, congratulations, you just ruined the chances of it ever becoming real.

>>423934To be fair, there have always been some female trainers that aren't designed like this. Agatha in Gen 1, and Bertha and Cynthia in Gen 4, for example.
Although Pokémon Masters is really shitting on what little dignity the younger characters had, like giving Cynthia this retarded fantasy RPG hooker outfit and having her show her shoulders and armpits as much as possible in typical gashit game fashion, even though her original outfit has her all covered up. Predictably, male characters are rarely given revealing outfits, the only good example was probably Leon's Sygna Suit. The Arc Suit recolors for Steven and Lance have them all covered up, from neck to toe, as in their original designs, while Cynthia's design was modified to, of course, show her shoulders and armpits for no reason other than she's female. It's a lot of subtle differences bewteen the way male and female characters are treated, I'm so sick of it.
One thing that really pissed me off, as a meganefag, was that nobody gave a fuck about the Scientist class until female Scientists became a thing in Gen 5. Male scientists = old, ugly, obscured eyes… Female scientists = young, cute, visible eyes. Give me a break.
>>424075I don't mind the ethnicities being listed and examples of celebrities given to give artists an idea of what the character should look like (it makes sense and it's kinda cool tbh), but stereotyping groups of people like Latina women does bother me a little.

The average young 3rd gen north african in France is muslim but good luck finding women under the age of 40 who wears the hijab, so that's why the rival girl can wear shorts and sandals and not look out of place compared to other characters. In the context of pokemon it wouldn't make sense for islam to exist, witchcraft is haram but there are a shit ton of creatures every where with super powers in that setting. Same for other abrahamic religions. And even from a strictly marketing point of view it's better to not aknowledge these religions, if you remember the pokemania era there were a shit ton of christians, jews and muslims who thought the series were satanic. It's obvious Game Freak was inspired by minorities you can often find in French cities to create NPCs for Kalos so that's why I talked about it, just like there are a lot of latinos in the US.

Whenever my mom would drag me to Morocco to visit relative it was the only thing on TV that I could understand, except for the news, no clue why they aired the French dub on TV for little kids, so I'm only assuming. I wonder if now some of them grew up to not mind it as long as they can play a fun video game.

>>424097>Although Pokémon Masters is really shitting on what little dignity the younger characters had, like giving Cynthia this retarded fantasy RPG hooker outfit and having her show her shoulders and armpits as much as possible in typical gashit game fashionTo be fair, pokemon is honestly one of the least sexualized games/anime overall from Japan. Sure there are miniskirts but it's never been as coomery as other franchises even though I'm sure they could sell a lot to coomers putting them all in tiny bikinis. And Skyla being depicted as having a "large chest" still visually ended up meaning a pretty normal sized chest rather than the balloon sized boobs you get in regular anime. Nami from One Piece actually looks retarded and coomery for example.

>>423777Since early development, Gen 4/DPP was made with the relationship between humans and nature in mind, so the devs wrote a bunch of myths akin to old japanese myths to explore these themes. There is also a good chunk of "beginning of the world" types of mythos in these text files and they're all similar to japanese folktales which had plenty of animals turning into humans or even zoophilia to explain things they couldn't comprehend.
You can see a remnant of this pokémon×human love myth idea in the japanese verison of DPP where a book about legends in the game mentioned that humans and pokémon used to marry in ancient times.

>>424648It could quite simply be that they made blaziken, thought it looked cool and had the idea to make it into a legendary duo before then going on to redesign blaziken. Given that there is also a blue and yellow grovyle paired with a pokemon that looks nothing like treecko it could also be that they go "but what if it was used for this instead" a lot and put less though into evolution lines than we give them credit for.
I'm interested in other possibly implied things here, such as trapinch not being designed for the flygon line but later getting shoehorned in there as they are separate and the flyon line already has 3 pokemon in it. But we don't know the design process, it's possible they had the flygon line, didn't vibe with it and asked someone else to try their hand at the smallest evolution and they then created trapinch. Shuppet and banette are also separate.
also kek at gyarubi being another gyaru mamba inspired pokemon with brown skin that would have get them cancelled for racism like jynx nearly did

I have also remembered Oricorio, a flamenco-themed bird released the generation after

I really like these beta Zekrom and Reshiram designs, though I also like the uniformity in their final designs. Whatever the version, I think these two pokémon are very well-designed and they feel like an improvement over Dialga and Palkia.
>>425146I almost want to publicly shame this moid on Twitter. I used to watch him many years ago when his videos were actually interesting and not just clickbait. He also didn't use to show his face.
>>425417NTA, I don't like her design for those reasons, but I respect your guys' opinion. I just think it's so tiring when people can't tell that a very specific design has coomer origins because it's too subtle for them, or they just can't identify the influences so they call you paranoid or a coomer for noticing. I like most "feminine" pokémon designs, like Florges, which I adore, it's just that Tsareena is one that has that clear fetish influence (dominatrix) so she's an exception. Plus, I don't like her long-ass legs and tiny body, it just doesn't look good to me, kek.

sus (at least potentially so) because while I can't see it I know it could still be there! But I can for example see that Poppy is obvious pedo/loli bait because I've seen what lolicons are into and that she is exactly it, but I know there are still other anons here who argue against that and says she's just a child character. If I was still a child I would have thought she's just another child character too, I had to learn about lolis to find out. I like to think most people aren't terminally online to know about lolis and that most people really do see her innocently, same with potential coomer pokemon.
I never thought of tsareena as having dominatrix traits, but maybe you're right. I don't mind the design but I think steenee is 100 times better so I never evolved mine anyway.

>>425868Yeah don't worry, I wasn't saying that because of you.
>PoppyHonestly, I'm not sure about that one, I only know her a little from Pokémon Masters and I think she might have a certain vibe, but I couldn't say for sure, she does remind me of Tezuka-style characters, though. I think I'm just weirded out by child characters that act too old for their age in general, especially "genius"-type little girls, but I don't think this necessarily means they're bait. Ultimately, in cases like those, we won't know until we see actual behind-the-scenes proof, otherwise it's hard to believe, since the implications would be so fucked up that it seems unlikely.
But Tsareena was always obvious to me because of the legs that resemble those boots dominatrixes wear, and her signature move being Trop Kick. And I just found out that she evolves when Steenee (which btw is definitely cuter) levels up while knowing Stomp, kek. There's too much emphasis on it stomping and kicking with its massive legs that resemble BDSM boots for it to not be a direct reference.
>its moveset includes moves such as Punishment and Power WhipUhh yeah. WTF Game Freak.

>>425880I get what you're saying, but that's more the fault of people in western fandom caring way too much about "racial accuracy" when people just want to cosplay characters they like. This didn't use to be such a huge issue in the past, people could cosplay any character of any race without the whole fandom trying to bully them off the internet, for the most part.
I don't think they use real nationality names in a literal sense. It's more like "this character probably comes from a Pokémon region that's the equivalent of this real-life country", and they leave it ambiguous so the character isn't locked into a specific real nationality. I remember how people used to think Brock from the anime was black because he had darker skin, lol. The nationalities are only there as reference for the character's design, I think, and shouldn't be taken at face value because whatever cultural traits they have will be Pokémonified, anyway.

>>425911Not sure why they won't release art like what you posted, but for character/pokémon concepts, the answer is that they might reuse unused concepts, even really old ones, in newer games, so they can't go around showing people that. It's actually a shame that these pokémon designs were leaked, because I would've loved seeing them recycled later.
>went to /vp/ the first day of leaks nd never againKek, same. I do admit that I missed the stupid (non-coomer) memes, though.
>What else you want people to call black characters, if they have black skin they're black.NTAYRT, but no one has literal black skin, we have different shades of brown, from dark to light. "Black" refers specifically to people of African descent that have certain physical features, on top of being dark-skinned, such as kinky hair, so having dark skin doesn't automatically make you a black person. But yeah, you can be any nationality. However, Brock lives in a Pokémon equivalent of Japan, so he's very unlikely to be black, and more likely to just be a darker-skinned pseudo-Asian person.

What's weird to me is that, even at this point, there are still some newly added characters (namely Lenora, and maybe some others) that have co-op-focused abilities and moves. I like the idea of co-op, it just wasn't executed well, so I hope they're planning to improve it and make it more engaging.

That goes for other minor details too
idk I never quite got the backlash for some characters ages in the documents either way, having lots of teens in higher career positions than the characters make sense since the player NPC is usually younger (XY being the exception) and it's a kids game so it's still kinda weird to be drawing porn of them regardless

No. 427267
>>427227If everyone in the pokemon games, manga and anime actually acted their ages the show would suck so hard. None of them come across as realistic for their supposed age. I think that just like how previously pokemon sizes meant that some pokemon like charizard were actually way too small for a human to ride on, they retconned it so that in the anime and now the games the pokemon have a lot of different sizes (and alphas) making it possible to ride it "officially".
The ages don't matter, even if they write an age on paper they instead are what they act since they aren't real people. Same with those 100 year old loli characters; that's a kid. Liking it for coom makes you a pedo and not an old person fetishizer. If Roxanne looks like an adult, and runs a school as her adult job, and all the kids at the school look younger than her… then she's an adult character.
And idk if this is controversial, but if it's just on a paper and not in the games it's not official to begin with, just like how the beta mons aren't official pokemon.

>>427267I don't think ages matter when talking about fictional characters at all, unless the character is obivoulsy a child. Literally there's no difference in apperance between a 16yo Roxanne and a 19yo Roxanne, so people shouldn't feel bad for feeling attracted to a character who would be a minor according to some documents that shouldn't have been leaked.

This is gonna sound retarded but is anyone else struggling with seemingly being the only one "just" liking characters? I love pokemon characters a lot but never have any of them been a husbando/waifu or coom material for me.
It just feels so awkward when I go "I really love N" and someone goes "me too!" and I think we're going to bond but what she meant was "N is my husbando and I regularly commission self-insert porn of us together as a couple" or "he's my favorite uke, I enjoy him being fucked by Alder the most". It feels like I'm the only one stuck in a child's brain unable to see pokemon as a source of coom (not that I want to, I just feel left out) idk it just feels weird and alienating

>>428039I think many think a character is hot but don't like them
as a character at least, enough to talk about them on that alone. Maybe being specific like that might help.
No. 428051
>>428039You're part of the majority, it's just that huge fans of specific characters will obviously talk or post about them a lot more than the average pokemon fan who just enjoy seeing these characters on screen. If you have a casual conversation irl or online with other pokemon fans they're more likely to just tell you "I love N too, he's my favorite character in the games, I like his design/battles against him/development in the story/etc." but how likely is it that this topic will even come up in the first place? Compared to when a huge fangirl will create fan accounts online just for him, will cosplay him during anime conventions, tag her posts about him, and will be easier to find.
This is making me think about how popular the franchise is, and how that makes finding normal fans a lot easier than with other video games I like. All I do online is like cute pictures of girls putting their pokemon plushies next to their food and drinks and fanart the humans and pokemon doing normal things on social media. I don't even play online anymore because SV is a broken piece of shit and Game Freak can't code to save their life.

I also like the pokémon themselves.
You'd probably have more luck finding normal non-coomer non-husbandofag fans if you looked for people who talk about the games in general and not just the character.
Also, the internet now is incredibly pornsick, so older fans are more prone to talk about coom than anything else.

>>428509I think the most well-known tokusatsu reference is that Tyranitar is based on Godzilla. Duraludon and Hydreigon in turn reference MechaGodzilla and King Ghidorah. Nidoran line is based on Baragon. Gigantomax Butterfree is Mothra.
Staryu line = Ultraman is covered in the post above.
The Lokix line references the Kamen Rider franchise, particularly Kamen Rider Black RX, which is why it has a robot-grasshopper appearance while performing martial arts. I believe its Pokedex entry number also calls back to Kamen Rider, although I can't recall how off the top of my head.
There are more tenuous connections that could be made elsewhere, but those are the concrete and generally agreed upon as specificially referential ones.
An additional fun fact for you is that the original concept for Pokemon was called Capumon (short for capsule monsters), which was scrapped for trademarking reasons. The trademarking issue in question here is actually that Ultraseven (an early season of Ultraman) already had capsule monsters, and the name was therefore unlikely to fly with TsubuPro.

>>429131>writting exercises that mimic actual japanese folklore (they replaced the characters for pokemon and added some details about them).I thought that one was based on a Native American myth. Anyway, with these stories and the Arceus creation myths drafts, it's clear they wanted to write edgy and mysterious things to put in DP and make pokélore deeper and more realistic, mimicking real-life mythology from a vareity of cultures. In the end, they kept a lot of the lore vague, they didn't even distribute the Azure Flute, and the only reference to human-pokémon relationships in the final games is an old story that said "humans and pokémon used to be so similar that they got married sometimes", or something along those lines, suggesting that people evolved from pokémon.
>>429133Funny because it seems that Palkia was going to be a feminine deity in the original concepts. But yeah, I've also noticed its vague similarity to a penis, but that might be because I saw people only making the comparison and joking about it when I was little.

I've always thought Cradily's appendages looked kinda weird because of the pink (bad design choice tbh), but it never occured to me that they looked like dicks until now. I still absolutely love it, though. Maybe they realized their mistake with Cradily and wanted to avoid the same thing with Tsareena? lol

Apologies for the gachasperg.
Last week (update week) I pulled Zerena on my first x11 scout, so I knew I'd be able to pull for Ingo/Emmet! Well, guess what? I got Ingo on the third x11 scout. And then Emmet on the second x11 lmaoooo, this may be my luckiest pull streak ever, it almost makes up for the fact that I wasn't able to get SSA Cynthia last time because I fell short of the 400 points for pity by ONE point at the last fucking second, worst fucking experience I've had with this game and I still seethe hard just thinking about it. But I'm so happy that I'll be able to get Irida at the end of the month! With a bit of luck, and if no new December units interest me, I might even be able to get Adaman as well.
By the way, Ingo and Emmet are cute as fuck. I don't mean that in a husbandofag way, but just their personality and voice and autism are very endearing. I was never a huge fan of them, personally, but this game is making me love them, although that could be said of 99% of the characters in Masters. I'm also happy that I got Eelektross, one of my favorite pokémon, even if I already have more than enough powerful Electric-types. In fact, just a year ago I also pulled both Sygna Suit Roxie and Piers, it's rare for me to pull both Poké Fair units debuting in an event. And not only do I need more powerful Dragon-types, but Zygarde is also a favorite of mine, so I'm double happy with having pulled Zerena.

terf queen azumarill is still my #1 but i like playing different roles so i don't get bored. I also play with a friend most of the time so it's more fun that way.
i agree the menus kinda suck especially since there's a bunch of different events hoing in at any guven rime. but overall i still like the game enough to splurge on holowear ince in a while. i just mimikyu's battle pass outfit bc she's one of my faves and her jiangshi outfit is just too cute, especially since you can match your trainer outfit with hers.

Why did BW have the best Pokemoids? ITT we already can see so much love for the Submas twins, and N mogged every male out of oblivion in character polls. Personally I also like Cheren because I'm a meganefag who loves majime characters and he was my crush as a kid. Also he's low-key the funniest Pokemon rival for calling Team Plasma wastes of oxygen, other rivals tend to be absolute pussies who don't say anything about evil teams while Cheren just straight up wanted Team Plasma to die.

Currently I'm playing Mastersex and it's just the nth (heh) proof of that, it makes me want to pull all the Unova cuties and get them all to EX level…
The story is nice too so far: as minor Cherenfag I love how he is characterized as a mature teacher in it… it feels like the writers of the game totally get Pokémon and its characters. I love/hate how much this game panders to my current woes and gives me so much cute content with all these husbandos I loved years ago.
>>431373>She's hideous and Hilbert is the canon protagonist in pokemas which gets the most shipbait. Fujos win yet again.Who cares, in the original game they're effectively the same character anyway.
I never liked Hilda until recently… somehow I'm taking a liking to all the self-insert shippy art she gets with all the sexy and cute guys of Gen 5. So yeah I can't hate her anymore, she's a Stacey in my eyes now KEK.
Plus personally I prefer her ship art with N because she looks more mature than Hilbert. Hilbert is a cool design but he looks either like a tomboy or too young for my taste.

>N mogged every male out of oblivion in character polls. Good for him, but I never cared about N that much.
>CherenI also liked him because of his personality and glasses, but I always thought his haircut was kinda ugly. Still, it's a cuter design (>>430238) than his B2W2 look. I was browsing through the early pages in BW character tags for N, Hilda and Cheren the other day on Danbooru, and it seems that Cheren x Hilda was a popular ship when the games came out, as well as the N x Hilda x Cheren triangle. But it appears that his (or the ship's) popularity waned after B2W2. I attribute this to his friendship with Bianca becoming more important and his uglier design, lol.
Speaking of which, I hate that he's clearly shown with a perpetual blush in his Masters model sheet (pic related), the same as in his official B2W2 artwork, but in the final game, he never blushes, while Rosa and Skyla do it constantly. Fuck DeNA, bunch of cowards. I wish I could find the docs where they explain why they pussied out of giving boys blushing expressions.
>other rivals tend to be absolute pussies who don't say anything about evil teamsI think that's because most rivals are not that personally involved with the villain team. Also, BW had a bigger focus on story. Remember how the gym leaders show up in the final act to stop Team Plasma? That never happened before.
IIRC, Silver (my childhood crush) hates Team Rocket and calls them weak, since he's Giovanni's son.

Not to mention how most of the PCs who are currently in the Lodge roster are female, while the only male PC so far is Calem. I hate that they see our (basically) self-inserts as waifus, and they don't make the most minimal effort to portray the boys in a similar way. And… maybe I'm just being nitpicky, but in the English version at least, there are some characters whose dialogue doesn't match their original version from the actual games. It's very subtle, but if you're autistically obsessed with said characters in their original games, you'll notice it.
Aside from that, I do appreciate how fun and charming everyone is in Masters, this game has made me like characters I never thought I'd give a fuck about (even ones I hated). Although the way most trainers keep repeating their catchphrases again and again in any context because they didn't have a lot of dialogue originally is kind of obnoxious, kek.
Anyway, Pokémon Masters is a clusterfuck that only exists for the sake of dumb fanservice.
>in the original game they're effectively the same character anyway. This. Maybe the yaoi ship wouldn't have been so popular if Hilbert hadn't been accidentally given cute hair. I see a lot of the fanart is focused on him instead of N.
>>431434OMG this cosplay is so cute! I always wanted to cosplay Hilda when I was a teenager. I love love love Hilda because of her big brown ponytail, the hat, the black vest, and especially her boots and the pose she has in her official artwork where she looks so ready to kick ass, I always thought she was the single coolest of all the female player characters. Although to be fair, her design
is kinda coomer. AFAIK she and Hilbert are supposed to be older than previous protagonists, but still… She'd be so perfect if they hadn't given her those goddamn booty shorts. It feels perverted, pic related (an actual leaked pic).
I'm so sick of the girl character always having to wear either booty shorts or a miniskirt while the boy always wears long, wide shorts or baggy pants, even in regions that are not based in Japan (so this
>>431526 is not always an excuse). This is why I don't care that they gave the SV protagonists the same unsexualized uniform, despite complaints that it's "not cute enough" or even "ugly" (??). I do think they should've balanced that out with more customization options, though.

>>431834Why? Hau is a perfect easy-going islander, while still bearing the burden of his grandfather being a Kahuna and feeling frustrated when he loses. His easy-going personality is also explained by Hala once scaring him as a child (being a raging moid) and going too soft on him since. He's the kind of person who is just floating by until the main character comes along and gives him the motivation to try harder and be serious. It's a realistic friendly rivalship, which I feel pokemon had failed at portraying until that point. Hau also serves as a direct contrast to the strictly raised but now rebelling against his mom Gladion (who I also love kek). They both clash with each other which makes it fun to watch.
Hau singlehandedly made me want to try malasadas too kek I'm actually super happy Hau isn't that popular because it means there's very little coom made of him.

>does anyone here actually play PME?
Yes, I posted my pulls earlier and you even replied to it. I'm having a lot of trouble beating these stages in Ingo & Emmet's Extreme Battle Event, especially with the required sync pairs (Johto, Alola and Paldea for Part 3, which is a Fighting/Ghost stage). I guess they really want us to roll for Eri, who's the newest Fighting-type and Paldea unit. I could get her, but I'm saving up for Adaman and Irida in the next update.
But honestly, at this point, I only keep playing this crap because I have hope that my husbando is going to get an alt and get added to the Trainer Lodge one day, and I don't wanna miss that. I already missed his introduction to the game because my phone wasn't supported. Pokémon Masters is the one gacha game I focus on the most and I don't want to play any more, that's why I don't get into that new TCG game or other Pokémon mobage.
>is it worth getting into?
Only if you're a trainerfag. So, yes.
Jokes aside, the gameplay is fun enough to keep one invested, it's an extremely simplified version of battles in the main series, and instead of being fully turn-based, it's real-time turn-based, but if you played mainline Pokémon you'll get the gist of the gameplay here pretty quickly. I love the concept of 3 vs. 3, in a way it's like a mix between multi battles and triple battles.
I've seen people say that Masters is one of the most generous gacha games, and even though I've only ever played two such games, I think I agree, even with the shitty anniversary we got this year. Although it sounds like it used to be way better 3 years ago. The key is to only go for the one unit you want each month, completely ignore FOMO (you'll get better chances to get those units in reruns), and save up for next month, as well as looking at the datamines to plan accordingly. If you're going to spend any money on this game, get the Daily Gem Bundle(s). Gem sales during the Anniversary and mid-Anniversary are also very good value. Support units are perhaps the most crucial, so you'll want good supports and to invest resources in them, preferably Master Fairs like Neo Champion Blue or Sygna Suit Aura Cynthia (regular Ingo is a Ground-type support). Depending on what your goal in the game is, you can either focus more on pulling your faves or pulling the strongest units. Now that I've got my faves, I'm collecting the Master sync pairs that rerun every month. And if you want, you can hatch pokémon eggs and form sync pairs with them.
The devs' focus clearly shifted from their original vision in the first year to a waifu/husbando popularity contest, though. So you'll see a lot more love for Cynthia/Steven/Paldea, etc. than for more obscure characters in more recent content. For example, Malva had been a story-relevant NPC in the game for at least a year but she didn't get introduced as a playable character until this year. And despite all my complaining about subtle gender bias in the fanservice (there are more missing male characters than female, the blushing thing, etc.), I think Pokémon Masters is one of the best mixed waifu/husbando gacha games in terms of pandering to both male and female players.

GFDocs.7z, at least according to the Rentry and the /vp/ general. It contains various documents related to many projects (main games, spin-offs, anime, TCG, websites, PWC promo art, etc.), I think up to Gen 7. There's a lot of concept art in that one that wasn't in any of the previous leaked folders.

>>433191This gives me a fun idea. Burger anons, if you could choose a Pokémon to represent your state, what would you pick? I'd choose either Aurorus or Gogoat to represent Colorado. A lot of fossils have been found here, and the ice type is appropriate for the climate. Gogoat is because of its resemblance to bighorn sheep and it's grass type, so cannabis.
Alternatively, non-Burgers, what Pokémon would you pick to represent your country, province, or city?

I tried playing Sword for the first time after saying I'll never ever play another mainline game again. It's somehow both extremely fast and slow paced. I hate being shoehorned into walking in literal Hallways. At least Gen 5 has some degree of exploration even with the game forcing you to progress with the story. The only positive I can say is the Wild Area is fun. But at that point I'd rather replay PLA instead.
