What the FUCK happened here?

t. shigeru ohmori

Can someone explain to me what I should be offended and outraged about? All I see is six cartoony fantasy animals.

>zero indication of anything. Not even a fucking a indie

There's only so many real-world animals you can copy without running out of material. This issue already was evident in 2nd gen.

All of the good starters are reptiles. Prove me wrong.

wtf you're right......

Chestnaught is good.

Infernape and Blaziken though dude

hahha no

I think the issue is that rather than make different kinds of animals they're making toys and calling them animals. Like Scorbunny has a bandage on its nose. Probably to make its design stand out. So do ALL Scorbunny have that bandage? Rowlet has a leaf bow tie. So are ALL Rowlet gentlemen? The more human like qualities they give, the less these seem like wild animals. And yes I get it, Jynx and Machoke exist but it seems like the ratio of these guys is going up especially as the level of detail is going down.

Theres millions of different species of animals in this world. Theyre not even close to running out of material you fucking idiot.

They stopped giving a fuck after gen 3.

I love how "not slavishly copying Gen 1's design philosophy" = "They stopped giving a fuck".

Reminder average age of Yea Forums is 15 (average pokefag prob less) and most newfags here's first game was Black/white 2.

I WANA KISS BLAZIKEN

They made the first ones as creatures for a game.
The rest were made exclusively to sell toys with. That's why they all have simple and plastified shapes, costs less to make toys with that in mind. Notice how the body shapes of the first three are very different while the bottom three are literally identical

Why is gen 7 so awful? Why is gen 8 going to be far worse? What happened?

After Pikachu became the most popular they started pandering to cutefags

Why are you so concerned about a series revolving around catching them all and gym badges?

its been shit sense 4

every japanese game series needs a cute happy mascot
the reason designs got worse is because the newer artists are fucking trash and simple moe blobs are easier to make 3d models for

I love how people keep farting and hooting about this "simple shapes" meme when Pokemon like Solgaleo, Buzzwole, Xerneas, Braviary, Samurott, etc exist.

all of those are garbage except braviary and samurott and they're 9 years old

That seems a stretch. The power creep started with 3 but 4 wasn't that bad. It wasn't until 5 where it became noticeable even to people who don't follow that stuff. Mega evolution, fairies, and Deerfuck made Pokemon lose its fucking mind and Gen 7 is basically Dragonball with critters

You grew up

Nah black and white 1 was the last game you could tell they actually gave a fuck at all. After that they threw thier hands up for the most part.

Fairy types and Megas were the point of no return

This. It's like the retards that bitch about these designs don't realize Game Freak is a company trying to make money and that the target audience for their games is unironically 8-13 year old kids.

Digimon was actually pretty creative for the first few generations. Stuff like Metal Greymon was a result of Greymon dying from fighting too much and being revived through cybernetics.

wow dude so creative

If you think this is creative you may have actual brain damage.

wow a pile of sludge soo creative
also post never was about that it's just they don't have to limit themselves in what they make they just can go batshit with it

Attached: 250px-088Grimer.png (250x250, 45K)

Serperior alone is better than the great majority of the starters

most the starters are over rated

I never claimed Pokemon were creative lmao nice try digicuck

So with this logic you describe gen 1, thus shutting down your own post.

These threads never work because you can just post Meowth-Scorbunny comparison and all the arguments fall down.

Well of course, but that's not going to stop retards from arguing anyway.

Is Pokemon developing its own Zelda-like cycle?
Gen 4 and 5 used to be trashed on when they first released.

Theres no rule that says you cant talk about it here

Post a creative Digimon design then.

genwun has mediocre starters only propped up by nostalgia
gen 3 and 4 and are the true god tier starters

gamefreak are the laziest people in the whole industry

Notice how the 3 top starters don't have anything on their head, their design is just simple and cool. Meanwhile the 3 starters below all have dumb shit on their heads, it's a clear sign of "how the fuck do I make this look interesting... oh I know just add random fucking details lmao"
