ITT: Minor alterations to improve a Pokemons design. What small changes would you make to a Pokemons design that you think would make it more appealing? Looking for a decent discussion (or as close as you can get on 4chan) without retard memes, etc.
I'll go first:
Personally I'd change Kommo-O by taking off those superfluous scales jutting down and from its back, there's too many scales on it. Otherwise it's think it's a good design.
Another Pokémon I'd change is Salamence. It has a conventional dragon design which I think is good considering a lot of dragon in Pokemkn aren't quite what you'd expect. But Salamence's wings weren't well designed IMO, they look like they were cut out from a plastic tuppaware container and glued onto a typical dragons back. They need some bone structure in there with maybe a slight change in colour to look like a membrane.
Gallade's hip bubble thing needs to go as well. I'd change it to a kilt looking type of thing (think Gardevoir's 'dress' but shorter). It links up better with the parallel to Gardevoir and helps sell the warrior motif it has.
What small alterations would you guys make to a Pokémon to improve its design? No huge overhauls or trash talking a Pokémon overall.
Pic unrelated.

Give Flygon toes whether clawed or not. Then maybe I would find him sexy

This thread is for the growth of artists and those who draw for fun. If you’re going to give critique, please do it constructively. Rude or blunt critiques won’t help anybody. Artists please feel free to post anything you have created and want to share, even it is isn't requested, we love to see what you are all working on!
Requesters are free to request what they wish, but avoid bumping your request every half hour as it’s only going to put people off; try giving it a few hours or more. Please provide references in ONE image, especially when requesting something outside of the Pokémon universe. And if you request something from the old Drawthread or a separate thread, COPY & PASTE the actual request instead of posting a link.
New artists are welcome to join in the fun! If you need any help, some artists are very keen to help, so don’t be afraid to ask.

Is lillie's vulpix going to be Canon?
A real Alolan Ice-expert would be nice. I mean, Psychic also has Faba next to Dexio but Ice only has Sina.
>>32156597
Yes, though in the gameverse, it will be a gift from Professor Kukui, the child of his female Alolan Ninetales and his male Midday Lycanroc
>"hurr durr ur da ees spoocialest" retards absolutely eternally BTFO by the fact Lillie will return in whatever games are next and be an ice specialist

you are both wrong, especially OP
How will the UB numbers be handled in future games? Will Buzzwole/Pheromosa and Celesteela/Kartana stay version-exclusive, or will they rework the numbers like this:
UB-01 Symbiont (Nihilego)
UB-02 Absorption (Buzzwole)
UB-02 Beauty ---> UB-03 Beauty (Pheromosa)
UB-03 Lighting ---> UB-04 Lighting (Xurkitree)
UB-04 Blaster ---> UB-05 Blaster (Celesteela)
UB-04 Blade ---> UB-06 Blade (Kartana)
UB-05 Glutton ---> UB-07 Glutton (Guzzlord)
Or they never mention the numbers ever again.
>yfw next gen is UB8-150
>>32156564
This would be a better way to do it.
Just go with UB (Word). For example, if a future Ultra Beast is a statue, its classification will simply be UB Statue. No numbers.
Are Sneasel/Weavile partially based on cats? Their English names suggest that they're based on weasels (which they are), but one of Sneasel's TCG cards has a move called "Nyan Roll", they learn Assist (Cat's Paw in Japanese), and I often see Pixiv artists drawing them alongside other cat-based Pokemon.
do they have to be based on cats at all if someone down the line decided they're cat-like enough regardless?
>>32156509
also that card is impressively useless
>>32156471
Yeah, it...seems so
When's that Diance mega stone getting released?

Shaymin thread
>>32156063
this is porn, isn't it
I'm so fucking done with this site, I can't even go into a thread like this and try to post something nice because of you fucking degenerate pices of trash. I hate you, I really fucking hate you. I wrote a regular, nice post prior to this, one because I like shaymin, to get the thread going and even attached a nice image. But then it hit me, this image's art style, the expresion in the shaymin's face. This is fucking porn. Just trash, awful, time and talent-wasting trash. I weep for whomever was comisione to do this trite, and pray one day all of you degenerates get some kind of incurable and extremely painful disease that can make you feel the same pain that you cause onto this board daily with your repulsive prescence.
I'm done, just fucking done.

Does China like Pokemon?
口袋怪物 (Pokemon is translated in Mandarin.)
I dunno, did the games sell good in the Middle Kingdom?
Didn't China use to not allow video games?
Anyways on another I SM will be the first pokemon games to be released there. If SM sales go through the roof, then it's a pretty good guess that China could be the reason
OH SHIT HE DABBIN
Don't know if any of you remember but a little while back I put up a thread asking for advice on how best to breed for specific pokemon I wanted - In this case a female Serperior with Contrary and HP fire - and the respond was well, less than optimistic.
This was one case where I wanted to do it legit instead of just injecting it and I'm happy to say that after a shit ton of eggs I finally got it.
Really happy to have pulled it off.
I named her Robust :v
With blazing spirit
What are you planning to use her for? But well done.
You know the drill, post em edits, request, etc.

Hrm..

I don't know shit about tcg but I'm pretty sure that Crawdaunt doesn't count as a "Basic Pokemon"
Hi, I got these XY-evolutions codes last year. I don't know if they're of worth to any of you but they're worth nothing to me. Redeem at www.pokemon.com/tcgo
JH9-LQXN-7XV-NYL
LBT-PKPC-VKV-N9T
CBV-ZHJL-C6M-RNW
Just redeemed these codes. Standard etiquette is 1 per person, but given that these have gone unclaimed for almost 3 hours, I figured they were fair game.
Pulls incoming.
>>32156102
>Farfetch'd is a rare
Reverse holo Machamp is kinda cool though.
>>32156122
Is a real shame that most of Evolutions is unplayable at high level, almost as if executives only wanted money with all the push in sales from the GO customers...
Do you love Hoenn?
>>32154707
yes
>>32154707
RS Meteor Falls had such an ugly color pallette.
>>32154707
Yes, could've done with less Tentacool and Wingull though.
Stingulor lol
