Yikes

he would look so much better without the cape
hope he takes it off at some point

I think he looks fun

>What were they thinking?
That they need to differentiate from the thousands of original characters already established in gaming? This is common in anime too.

The cape ruins him and charizard as the main pokemon killed him on arrival

if hes not a fucking idiot in game ill be pissed
everything about this deign screams dumb idiot who thinks hes cooler then what he really is

the pants + shorts combo is too much

They have literally never been worse overall. We're reaching levels of shit that shouldn't even be possible.
Doesn't help that all of the Pokémon shown so far have already had their concepts done earlier in the series, some many, many times before.

It's the colours. Too many colours.

Could be Mulatto.

It's the cape, it's God awful.
Remove the cape and he looks like a sports fan ready to brawl.
Much better looking.

Probably not, the leaks say she's a trans lesbian.

I like him, the PC and gym leader also wore a football uniform during their battle. Given the leaks with how you need a sponsor in the Galar region for the gym battles it makes sense to turn the trainers into walking advertisements. The cape just signifies his status as Champion.

This is bait, do not fall for it thx.

He is literally one of the best designs in this new game, including the females.
He actually looks some sort of competitor with that uniform.

How do you fuck up a cape this badly?

>HAVING A LITERAL PAKI CHAMPION
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Think about it, why they revealed the champion already? Something is going to happen to him.

That’s not a cape, it’s a fucking quilt

Looks cool to me, the outfit clashes together but I'm fine with a different look and style. I even think the cape works

Reminder French localization changed their names to reference a brother rap duo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNL_(band)

Original names were Dande and Hop

Figured he's gonna be the antagonist. He has sponsors on the back of his cape. You don't wanna lose those

galar is based on england, so they're pakis

I disagree, he's meant to represent American celebrity athletes and to that extent they've succeeded. The soccer shirt, shorts with leggings, sneakers, wristband, nonwhite, and snapback are all clear references to this. And that cape is pure Conor McGregor energy. The only thing I don't like is the blue hair which clashes with everything else.

Why do all the guys look like faggots In this game?

Conor McGregor would actually make a great gym leader

My biggest problem is that his hair is purple and his facial hair black.
It's really bothering me.

He looks fine retard.
Nah, she's only into women.

it's almost like the dev team goes to the country they're basing the games off every time and they have british people working at the company, it was in your fucking face during the direct you dumbfaggot

Didn't you see the direct? A white guy is the art director for this game. They went to an actual westerner instead of going by what little they knew and making a Harry Potter game.

/britfeel/ actually pal

Brown and purple
Red and gold
Black and white
Red and blue

Color motif is non-existent.

Maybe his fight will get hijacked like Alder.
That would be cool if they did that again.

This straight-up looks like a fan edit

His entire outfit is made up of gaudy mismatched articles of clothing on top of stupid facial hair.

>it's almost like the dev team goes to the country they're basing the games off every time
Just because some studios do it sometimes, doesn't mean every company does it every time you fucking retarded autist, especially if what the other user said was true

lmao that mcspastic got knocked the fuck out by based Mayweather.

the back of his cape has a bunch of sponsors on it, I love it.

Just be glad it's Pakis and not actual britstains

Where is this coming from?

I'm British. I get the design. The facial hair and overload of colours kill it.

they've been doing regional visits for research since the second gen, they did it for new york, france, and hawaii too
common knowledge user

it's a joke

There's a difference between making a holistically good design with meaning that follows principles like color theory, and making a "smart" design that just throws together stuff that reminds Japanese people of England, even when it looks like shit.

This is like when they made an America Gundam with a football helmet, shoulder pads, boxing gloves, and two guns, only worse because that was at least cool.

remove the fucking cape entirely and he looks less like a sped

The cap is the dumbest thing.

I can't wait for porn of him smashing the male trainer, haha

NOW he can mount me

the cap i can SORT OF live with, even if it is monumentally retarded. that cape is what really throws him into KING TARDHOUSE territory.

He looks like a kid that’s about to get in trouble for using his dads expensive Iranian carpet as a cape.

tfw you realize the W on his cap is supposed to look like a crown

Now do one where he still the leggings/tights, but doesn't have the cape

Nah. Just remove the fur down the sides and keep the fur at the collar and bottom of the cape.

wumbo

I saw someone joke saying it was sans in Pokemon and I assumed it was a fake design
I kinda want to kill myself now

PART
AND
PARCEL

Are they gonna stop mid battle to pray to their version of a Pokemon deity?

He looks great though
It's dumb as fuck but hell it's stylish
I love the cape

looks great to me

its literally just a soccer uniform and a cape user...

>Athletic shorts plus leggings

That’s my biggest complaint. Other than that, he looks like a football player with a champions cape on

Take off more clothes

it's the same Abrahamic God.
So they're still praying to Arceus but they're not allowed to show it.

Leon is cute. It the fuckload of colors they thought complimented each other which is the problem.

Not if he’s playing a sport. He’s clearly meant to looks like a soccer player because lolyurop

What's wrong with leggings and shorts?

>painted on facial hair
This is really the only problem I have with him.

The cape could be a bit more subtle, but really the design isn't THAT bad.

He should also have a tall sceptre with a football patterned pokeball at the top
Hire me game freak

Capes are for gay autismos.

Here he is again, with different hair.

Attached: sped-liten.png (487x792, 167K)

It's not supposed to be subtle.
The back is covered with logos from sponsors. He's meant to be gaudy.

Remove shorts

I was talking about the fluffy parts and the clashing colors but I guess you are right.

Get rid of the shorts.

What if the shorts and sleeves are longer.

McGregor is a retarded meathead who thinks boxing is MMA with no kicks or grasbbing. McGregor doesn't have the stamina for boxing. MMA is speedrunning. Boxing is 100%ing the game.

Is it just me or does he remind me of a genderbent Iris?

My biggest complaint are his eyes.

Then might as well get rid of the hat and fuck that. The hat's brim being a crown and cape with sponsors is such a goofy design idea it instantly loops back to great

Fitting.

This will be a meme sooner or later

The idea is fine and it looks better in-game going by the trailer, but yeah it's not executed well at all (as usual with Game Freak)

What a chad, gives no fucks about color contrast conventions and just shows up to battle wearing shorts and a carpet

>the American is the queen of spades
OH NONONONONONONO NONONONO NONO NO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you cant make this shit up

He's a football playing king in space with a shitty beard.

I reckon if he was wearing a crown instead of a cap he'd be a cool design. I get they're going for a soccer motif but they dont have caps in soccer.

What do you think a twist is?

That doesn't mean it won't play out like one in-game. Remember when they spoiled Deoxys for the delta episode months before it came out?

They literally already explicitly mentioned it, and made it part of Hops' motivation.

>Remember when they spoiled Deoxys for the delta episode
No because he's from gen 3 and I was expecting him the moment the remakes were announced.

I may have been wrong about HG/SS but I was right about the game we're actually talking about.

I kinda appreciate it in a 'Look at this fucking asshole' way.

I mean, he's already got the chinstraps and douchebag (exercise)gym outfit. Why not take it to the next level and throw on a fucking cape.

I actually like him. Definitely feels like the sort of shit a champion would wear in that world if pokemon battles were treated more like sports. Hell, I could borderline see some ball tossing nigga wearing this in real life.

I had no choice but to like him when I realized his hair is a hop, didn't think they'd do that in a Pokemon game as dumb as it sounds

Cape is the best part. The fact that it stands out so much gives off the impression that it's a ceremonial thing rather than his own choice. Like he's wearing his outfit and has to throw the champion's cape on too.

He looks like a wigger britbong fratboy, what's the issue OP?

what's racist about it

That's what has been in the back of my mind.

remove dumb mullet / side ahoge, no soccer player looks like that
remove stupid baseballcap(?), again, not soccer themed
remove obnoxious douchebag beard
remove flamboyant faggot royal cape, this is just ridiculous mockery of UK
remove leggings
make shorts almost knee height
add sports socks
optional: make white, y know, like the actual fucking brits
= fixed

doubt anyone will make an edit but this is my take on that design

It accurately portrays the modern Brit as a brown soccer hooligan.

how progressive of Pokemon
