It's not to ur childhood

If you still care about this.


This is your manchildhood.

Genwunners are faggots but alolan forms are an inherently retarded concept.

>hey guys, look, regional variations! Like real life speciation and evolution
>except it only happens on this one set of islands even though presumbly all the other regions are just as far away from one another
>and even though we already had regional variations for certain mons and none of them were this drastic

It also is just a giant fuck you to people who like the originals, since almost all aollan forms are objectively better then the originals. At least megas preserved the general idea of pokemon and evolution in that context

>>385532182
Platnimum and HGSS are better then emerald.

>>385535269
Yeh what m8
About half of them are better, the rest are either the same or worse. Unless you mean design wise, but I doubt that.

its being based on the galapagos islands and there are regional pokemon

>>385536274

really?

>>385536274
>its being based on the galapagos islands
Alola is based on Hawaii though, but I don't doubt it had a similar effect to species like Galapagos.
I still think regional variants should have introduced in B/W, it being a another country and all, but to be fair it had a lot of pokemon that mirrored some from first gen.

>>385536618

>>385536672
another county wouldnt have the same effect as an isolated island

>>385535269
>except it only happens on this one set of islands even though presumbly all the other regions are just as far away from one another
The first four regions are based on regions of Japan and Alola is already established to be reasonably close to Kanto

Gen 1 designs are objectively better. Who doesn't love brilliant designs like "pokeball with a face" and its evolution, "upside down pokeball with a face?" Or evolutions that are "the same design, but there are more of them," in the same way a gang is an evolved form of a human. Or the best type of evolution, "exactly the same, but facing a different direction."

Gen 7 is terrible. Everyone shits on me when I say this because they think I'm talking about the game itself, but no. I'm talking about the designs. I hate the new Pokémon. I didn't even finish S&M because of it, and I still lack the motivation to charge my 3DS and play it...

Just look at this shit, doesn't even resemble Pokemon in the slightest.
>B-but muh other dimension
I don't give a shit. This doesn't feel like Pokémon anymore. I started losing interest the second I saw that fucking jellyfish appearing.
Some may argue that Pokémon has had shitty designs since Gen 1 like Ditto or Koffing or Dugtrio and shit, but you'd think that after 20 FUCKING YEARS they'd get actually GOOD at it. Hell, Gen 5 designs started to go downhill and they went right the fuck back at it in Gen 6 which was amazing. Except for Hoopa Unbound.

The point of Pokémon was to make BELIEVABLE fictional ANIMALS. I can totally believe a giant fucking scorpion like Drapion exists in a world like that, and that it was created by fictional nature. But... Fucking... A SAND CASTLE? Don't even try to compare that shit to Muk, it's fucking ridiculous. Then you have little shits like Togedemaru. I don't mind Pikachu clones but at least change the fucking name. I was a cringy Naruto kid back in the day so I know a lot of character names end in -Maru. Don't tell me that's not fucking Japanese. They just left it like that. Gen 7 was a lazy Gen.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I want Digimon to stay the fuck away from Pokémon. GameFreak is taking the franchise I swore blind love to when I was fucking 3 years old, and shits on it every year. It hurts, and I want my childhood back in the form of manchildhood.

I want to fucking kill myself. Thanks for reading my goddamn blog post.

Nah, Gen 7 has some mediocre designs (especially the Ultra Beasts), but it has some of the best Bug Pokemon in the entire series (which along with Ghost are the two best types).

Stop posting anytime.
And gen 7 has had some of the best and most creative designs in years, plus exploration of interesting biological niches and more obscure species that haven't gotten a chance before, gen 6 was forgettable and boring as fuck outside of stuff like Trevenant, they completely squandered the use of a new type.

>>385542252
Yeah that was pretty dumb. You'd think a Pokemon designed to look like a space ship would be pretty speedy.

>>385542396
Bulbasaur is my favorite starter, and Laurantis is the best new non-bug/Mimikyuu Poke, but overall grass can't hold a candle to the best bugs.

Didn't say Koffing was shitty, I said people say Koffing is a shitty design as a defense mechanism when someone insults Gen 7.
Sand castle is retarded though. Please reconsider your life.

Gen 7 has SOME good designs, for example the black lizard that I already forgot the name of. But generally most of them are literally Digimon, something I will never be okay with.

Koffing is the best

Anyway it's a ghost that controls people into building a sandcastle to lure others into a sandtrap. It's essentially a sand wraith, much like how Banette is a possessed doll. Ghost types do possessed object all the time, this is no different save for Pallosand being a direct carnivore that consumes other Pokemon physically rather than draining energy.
Salazzle. Based on real life "lesbian lizards."
You have zero concept of what a digimon's design is and are using that as a catchall for "somewhat more complicated design than normal."

>>385543667
Alola Forms are okay-ish, the problem is all the other designs. Read that one post above.

>>385535269

You gotta be fucking kidding me

>>385543934
>using that as a catchall for "somewhat more complicated design than normal."
Yes. Exactly. That's is precisely my problem with the new gen.

This thread again OP? Hasn't even been a day.

>>385543934
OP's not smart enough to get designs slightly more complex than s purple floating sphere


Thats why Genwunners hate newer designs- their primitive monkey mental matter can't grasp the newer designs so they shriek,rattle bars and throw their own dung at people in hopes they get listened to.

>>385541528
Pokémon were never meant to be animals. It's called Pocket MONSTERS for a reason, but why I should I even expect a Genwunner to understand that?

When you grew up.

>>385544107
Well you're using an improper term then as Digimon are widely ranging and typically focus on small details such as wrinkles or overshaded teeth, sometimes protrusions that branch out with thin wafer style ribbons and such. Others look like the often posted Omnimon Zwart, a massive clusterfuck of belts and torn cloth that's so cluttered it needs closer examination to properly look at.
It's the most shitty way to dismiss something as a design and means that the person in question is just using it as a buzzword without knowing what they're talking about.
It's fine to dislike it for complication if you prefer gen 1's style of traditional JRPG monsters (which are indeed lovely and evocative of the period when they were made), but your dismissal of the new designs shows less that you can articulate a proper analysis or even term for why you do other than using a term that doesn't encompass it at all.

Pokemon's always had a fair balance of choices for both boys and girls as far as variety went, but it wasn't until Gen 6 that your first pick, the starters, gained this "trio of pandering" so each starter could appeal to a demographic.
