Remember when pokemon didn't look like plastic children's toys?

Weren't Clefairy and Poliwag poised as the mascots before the anime strapped a rocket on Pikachu? I remember Poliwag was on a ton of material prior to release on the west.

Absolutely retarded

If you can't see the difference between these and the OP, you are lying.

It's legitimately one of the worst Pokémon designs I've ever seen. It straight up looks like a fake plucked from DeviantArt.

Poliwhirl does appear many times in the early marketing and got to be front and center when the series was covered by Time back in '99

Has there ever been a good grass starter? They all end up lackluster or straight up bad.

Poliwhirl is Tajiri's favorite Pokemon

why are you fags still bitching about pokemon you're going to evolve 1 hour into the game

these are the best set of starters out of the past few gens imo. I'll have to see their evolutions to fully decide though.

You say that every gen.

Nice argument, bud, but GF could get away with wild designs back then because of the limitations of the Game Boy

Also >defending gen 1 designs when that gen had literally "the same Pokemon but 3 of them" as evolutions - absolutely shit generation

Gen 1 had "soft designs" when they fit the context of the design and even then those "soft designs" aren't close to as ridiculous as some of these starters

Do you see Pikachu and Clefairy with a fucking hugeass round head, huge eyes, a tiny body, and no digits on their limbs?

Those really are worst starters ever.

So which one of these is going to evolve into the token sexy lady pokemon?

remember all the times you shat over gen 4 and 5 for being "over designed"?
now be a good goy and sleep in the grave you dug with all your plushie mons

Charmander/Bulbasaur/Squirtle are cute without looking fucking retarded

gen 1 also had puke pile and bigger puke pile and don't forget the classic, pokeball and larger upside down pokeball

2 > 4 > 3 > 6 > 5 > 1 = 7

The smaller head looks better, but it looks boring without the yellow crest and light blue patter on it's face

If patterns are to be believed then it'll be the monkey

Poliwhirl was the Pikachu of the manga series

They cleared it up when they revealed Gorochu during an interview. Clefairy was the first cute pokemon made for the game. Ken Sugimori said he struggled to make cutesy monsters. And then they got Atsuko Nashida just for that job and her Pikachu design naturally rose in popularity.

It was never meant to be the "Face" of Pokemon. Same with poliwhirl, that's just people connecting dots from old merch and Tajiri saying its his favorite.

>it's a Sinnohfetus episode

It's so easy to spot you kids who think Johtomons are good simply because HGSS were the first games you played that weren't absolute diarrhea (even though they're noticeably worse than Crystal)

Honestly these are the best looking starters since gen 4. They actually feel and look like Pokemon from the original series and fit into the same aesthetic. Anything is better than gen 7 though.

It varies.

Nowhere near as many as before. They're a minority in the fanbase now.

Circles are the most cute shapes

there is no spelling mistake in that post what are you talking about

>Fire starter is always an animal from the zodiac
No it isn't.

porcupine and badger ain't in the zoadiac mate

imagine playing any pokemon game after gen 3

keep being in denial bro

The point isn't that there are tons of fire rabbit designs, the point is that the official one doesn't stand out in any way whatsoever.

Gen 4 introduces the phys/spec split which was probably the most impactful and overall best changes to the formula that they've ever done, and it had one of the most fun competitive meta of any generation because of it

It was all down hill from there though

You do realize even it isn't, that won't change that many people would think they are and therefore would try to design ones to fill the remaining animals?

remember when you didn't find pokemon arousing?

I like the top left.

As far as I know, Pokémon Go meet ups are mostly filled with 20 year olds and parents with their kids (haven't played that shit since it came out but from the looks of it the game seems to run better than at launch).

And while LGP sold quite a lot of copies, I'm guessing most of those sales came from the same demographic. And even then most people's acknowledgement of the games is restricted to the GBA.

Gen 1 had bad designs among the great because it took RISKS, big risks.

The problem with these designs is theyre so fucking generic and mass produced feeling. All three have the same eyes, head shape, and head to body proportions so they artifically seem cute while having no actual features an animal could use for fighting that could ruin that cuteness.

I think thats the main difference between these designs and older designs. Older Pokemon actually seemed capable of defending themselves. These things are just heads with noodly appendages.

It's jusy a cat with a red ball on its forehead

IIRC we got Incineroar's design leaked before we knew its type and the natural conclusion was fighting.

NO NO NO HOW DARE GENWUN BEST

I hope the grass starter turns into grass/fire
I hope the fire type turns into fire/fairy
I hope the water type turns into water/bug

There, I destroyed every argument in this thread. Now fill me with reaction pics

I did, they have DP in their meme "I hate everything after when I started playing the game" instead of just "replaced by subsequent versions"
LGPE is the only game on that list that you should avoid if you want to play pokemon.

I told you user it's the unovabortion cabal. I don't know what happened in the past few years but something made them think anyone cares about their garbage opinions.

If this is the real deal, then finneon is the perfect pokémon counterpart to it. I don't get the criticism these autists bring up, really.

Looks even worse.

I wasn't complaining about finneon (or even really ducklett) I was just saying that there are indeed "literally just real world animal" pokemon, which isn't even inherently a bad thing. I just think ducklett is kind of boring, along with a lot of other gen 5 mons.

And I thought Grookey looked boring before. These fixed posts really make you appreciate the companies more, don't they?

Animals of Farthing Wood did exactly what you were talking about with the blue foxes and it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. I don't see why not all pokemon being exact duplicates of animals would detract from anyone's enjoyment either.

>looks more like an actual mouse
Lmao retard. Mice have body definiton.

>tfw no more UB
though i didn't really like any of the ones in USM so maybe it was for the best

>I don't see why not all pokemon being exact duplicates of animals would detract from anyone's enjoyment either.
Then why some pokémon being closer to the animal they're based on only with very minor changes and stylized make you sperg out so much?

Stak was a good boy. I think that even gens tend to be the ones with "safer" looking designs. Odds tend to be where they step a bit outside of it, or take risks like the UBs.

That's what I said though.
Unless I fucked that up somehow, which is possible since I'm really lightheaded at the moment.

I don't even know what you're talking about.

How would you fit onix and steelix in one little plaform?

>Mouse and Rat: both rodents (even though Cynaquil is closer to an Echidna)
>Cat and Tiger: both felines
>Fox and Dog: both canines

Its almost as if its more the order or genus of animals rather than the exact species. So the horse could be represented by any equine species such as a horse, a deer, an elk, a moose, a gazelle, zebra, donkey, etc.

>Avoid Let's Go games
Nigga whaaaaaaat?

I had no idea poipole was supposd to be a UB but I thought there were more.
I did think brick shithouse was ok, I just didn't really care for clown so that's 33% I guess

Good, I'm tired of mammalian or soft-furred/feathered/leafed starters as of late. An amphibious chameleon has potential.

Make a bigger platform, they did it for lapras.
And they're snakes, you can twist and scrunch them into whatever position you need them to be in so they don't take up too much space.

I'm glad I got off the Pokemon train years ago. Makes it easier to just ignore both the Genwunners and the zoomers defending plastic garbage.

You can say shit about some gen 5 mons, just not the bug types. Ever.

The only part of the chart that's even vaguely off-kilter is delphox and even then foxes and dogs are pretty similar and both canines.

These are real? Goddamn they're worse than most fake-mons
Once again I regret feeling any semblance of hype for a new Pokemon game

I liked the fake ones with the fire sheep, I thought they were cute.
Real ones are decent though.

*yawn* they look boring as fuck

There was just Poipole, Naganadel, Blacephalon, and Stakataka. The card game counts Ultra Necrozma as one for some reason, as well as the mascot Necrozma forms (not not vanilla necrozma).

Yea I thought that was retarded too but that's actually what nintendo puts on their sheets.
It's dumb as fuck but it's legitimate, so I guess that's why people put it on there.

Twitter is FAKE NEWS

It's more because Ultra Beasts are their own little decktype with specific support cards, and it's hard to make it work with only the regular UBs.

There's so much they could do with it.

now this is grasping at straws
