A lot of pokemon after gen2 wouldn't look so stupid if their heads weren't so large.
Large heads make pokemon look like they were designed for 3 year olds not 10 yr olds.
>>25837499
that just looks bad
>>25837499
That looks noticeably worse than the original. Great work, OP.
Kill yourself.
>>25837499
For you
>>25837505
It looks worse if you like pokemon looking like they are targeted towards the same age group as teletubbies..
It looks much better and less childish then this.
>>25837532
Honestly, the op pic looks weird and disproportionate.
>>25837499
Holy shit! Thanks for making my day with this hilarious picture OP!
For example look at how much better machamp looked before it's large head.
They keep making the original 2 generations of pokemon worse in new epsodes and games.
For example in XY the anime onix looks short and stubby.
OP you sound like a toddler proclaiming "I'm not a baby anymore!!!!!!!"
>>25837499
That looks so bad, and its not because I'm used to the original art, its because its true. The head is too small, and they just randomly connect which makes it look worse, it woukd look a bit better if it had a neck, or if the body was made just a bit smaller.
But either way, this looks like shit.
>>25837544
Confirmation Bias.
>>25837560
Just because he looks fat like you in that art doesn't mean it's designed any better.
>It looks childish
>All starters
>Pikachu
>Ditto is a blob with a face
>Everything Clefairy and Jigglypuff
>Dragonite literally looks like Barney
>>25837566
Machop never had a neck and it's head wasn't a large bobble head looking thing.
Nobody ever complained about it's design.
Keeping that in mind why can't treecko have a more normal sized head?
>>25837590
Okay gen1 pokemon look retarded (and they do)
What does that have to do with what OP has said?
>>25837606
>A lot of pokemon after gen2 wouldn't look so stupid (OP)
>Shit was always childish
It's time to stop.
>>25837617
So if shit gen 1 and 2 pokemon look shit
That means pokemon after gen 1 and 2 should not be critiqued either.
What is your reason for this thinking? Please explain the logic behind those thoughts.
>>25837647
I'm pointing out that OP is saying "everything after gen 2 looks retarded and childish" and that it was always like that. You can critique anything else you want, but give a good reasoning that isn't "I can't believe this kid's games aren't being made for the kid I used to be".
So what your saying is that it is impossible for newer pokemon to look stupid like gen 1 and 2 but for different reasons.
I am highly confused by what you are trying to say, please explain....
>>25837647
OPs argument is that new pokemon look stupid because they have large heads, that anon is saying that all pokemon had large heads, so OPs statement isn't true.
>>25837499
>>25837560
>shitting on pokemon designs
A reminder to get a load of this and be grateful for what you have
>>25837660
"A lot of pokemon after gen2 wouldn't look so stupid if their heads weren't so large"
is what he said, not
"everything after gen 2 looks retarded and childish"
Those sentences have two different meanings.
OP could think gen 1 and 2 pokemon look retarded while thinking pokemon after gen2 have heads that are too big.
>>25837688
You're incapable of reading comprehesion. I don't know why I bothered answering you earlier.
Kill yourself alongside OP.
>>25837686
Yokai watch is not a historical and ground breaking series that will be remembered forever.
If they have retarded designs it's okay because nobody will really remember in 20 years time..
However pokemon are remembered forever like micky and minnie mouse and all the other original disney characters.
>>25837688
Pokemon before gen 3 had large heads too. It's like complaining that modern grass is green when grass has (sorta) always been green and being green is just an aspect of what grass is.
>>25837532
>childish
It a baby cartoon lizard from a children's game. It's meant to look childish.
>>25837499
>>25837499
Is that the best you can do?
>>25837697
You are the one that can't answer a simple question, so I will make it simpler for you.
Does thinking pokemon after gen 2 have heads that are too large mean that you think pokemon before gen 1 and 2 have perfect designs.
Yes or No?
Perhaps that is easier for you to understand however if you can't answer it again even though I have simplified it, I will just assume you have no critical thinking capacity.
>>25837760
Is charmanders head as large as treeckos?
>>25837740
Nobody is saying that any pokemon are perfect, we are saying OP should reword his argument to "All Pokemon look stupid because they have large heads"
>>25837772
here's the original pic
>>25837781
But do pokemon before gen2 have large heads or do they look stupid for different reasons?
>>25837789
>>25837789
That's probably one of the newer illustrations of charmander then...
>>25837686

END
YOUR
LIFE
>>25837760
Makes me want to throw up and it's disturbing me
>>25837789
Looks slightly too big
>>25837806
Both, and this applies for all gens
>>25837821
still a big head
Example of how charmander used to look.
>>25837760
This doesn't look anywhere near as bad as that treecko.
>>25837821
it is anon
>>25837837
I guarantee if I redid a whole bunch of the new pokemon designs in illustrator and showed people other than /vp/ or people familiar with how they normaly look.. Most would say my edited designs look better.
>>25837835
press like if u miss the old charmander
>>25837883
yeah right
>>25837499
While first stages of starters tend to have big heads, evolutions have the ""right"" proportions that you talk about (look at Chespin then Chesnaught, Oshawott and then Samurott), so why bother?
Also, Pokémon is inherently something geared towards children, try to see the things in a more ample manner instead of being a blind genwunner.
>>25837893
How did you want a sprite to look on a hand held game console in 1998?
You are obviously too young to remember what things were like back then.
>>25837594
I guess there is not reason for him NOT to have a normal sized head, but I feel like that's already normal for him. Its based off of a geeko/lizard, isn't it? Their heads are usually big, and since its based off of one I can see why his head would be that size.
That being said, making his head a bit more smaller would probably make it look more "normal", but then it wouldn't look right either.
>>25837920
Am I a genwunner if I still follow and watch pokeom and think it has went down hill in some regards yet improved in others?
Because that seems to make me a genwunner on here everytime I say the newer designs look stupid.
>>25837920
the yokai watch one should be the free space at this point. it literally gets posted whenever pokemon designs are mentioned, even if it isn't a genwar thread.
it gets posted so fucking much i swear to god it must be a fucking bot doing this shit at this point
Here's your fix OP, evolve your pokémon, first stages are purposely made to be cute.
>>25837928
if sandshrew can look like this then why can't charmander?
also pokemon red&blue were released pretty late during the original game boy's lifetime so there's no excuse for the shitty sprites
>>25837957
I really like sceptile except for his tail.
Does that make me a gen wunner?
I lover garchomps design.
Also Treecko is not cute.
>>25837983
OP here.
I think when the release red and blue they didn't realise how huge the franchise would become so many of the sprites look a bit dodgey however they mostly fixed that in yellow.
See I criticise and gens yet for some reason I am a gen wunner because I think the characters have became worse in the newer series.
>>25837996
I dont see problem with the tail, it's a unique trait.
Also, while you don't see Treecko as something cute, the thousands of people in japan says otherwise.
>>25837996
Doesn't make you a gen wunner because you don't like its tail
not all 720+ pokemon are gonna cater to everyone taste
there's some you hate some you loves
part of what makes pokemon great
>>25838013
hello op
your opinion is shit and you should kill yourself
>>25837499
>>25837760
i dont care what OP and the other people in this thread are fighting for, i just want you guys to make more of these. i find them disturbingly funny for some reason.
>>25837560
That looks like horrible early art, because it is.
>>25837499
Make its hands, feet, tail and limbs smaller, elongate the torso and maybe it could work?
But your edit looks like a guy in a fursuit.
>>25837560
>machamp
OP is an idiot and doesn't understand character design. Within design, characters with larger heads appeal to children and characters with smaller heads appear more mature. (check out editorial illustration and you will notice a lot of smaller heads)
On top of that anyone who claims newer gen designs suck is also an actual retard because how the fuck can you expect someone to design something in a market 20 years later and have the same feel/style/design. That's like a grandfather going to a fashion show and being pissed none of the clothes look like they did in his generation.
>>25837560
Know your pokemon before you criticize
>>25837939
yes and no
genwunner is like "sjw"
it means whatever you want it to mean
>>25839362
FEED ME CHILDREN
I swear, arguing over Pokemon designs has got to be one of the most nitpickish of arguments/debates/discussions I have every seen.
>>25837686
fuck you mandog is great
>>25839362
>>25838013
>I am a gen wunner because I think the characters have became worse in the newer series.
You are because you complain about something in the "newer" series that is also present in the "older" ones.
>>25839362
>characters with larger heads appeal to children
Not necessarily. Characters with larger heads just LOOK like children. They appeal to people who like cute things. Final evos tend to have smaller heads, which look more adult.
Lots of kids like final evos that look powerful rather than cute, because it fits with the notion of growing up.
>>25839753
Yup.
Good ol /vp/
>>25840041
ok yeah I'll agree with that. I didn't mean to imply that mons with small heads can't appeal to children. You bring up a great point though with charizard; charmander's larger head reinforces it's childish/young design which in contrast with Charizard's smaller head really shows the design choice of making Charmander > Charizard be about growth and maturity.
I'm not sure why big heads would be an issue really; that trend exists in every starter.
>>25837499
Pokemon has always been like this.
The first forms have big heads and generally more cartoony proportions, while the later forms usually have more realistic proportions.
>>25837532
>less childish
It's meant to be a juvenile you dip. Do you go around screaming at babies for having heads a quarter of their total length?
>>25837893
>Press Like.
Literal fag.
>>25837686
If you're going to insist on posting the images at least add the names, dude. People start saying X or Y is cool and I have no idea which ones they're talking about.

No it doesn't. I wouldn't train shrunken head Charmander.
>>25837920
Posting this should be the free space
>>25840431
I think the problem is nowadays even final evolutions have relatively larger heads. At least, those are the ones where large heads are usually seen as a problem.
>>25841660
Mind listing them? Just checked every final evo from gen 4 and on and the only ones it applies to are Swoobat, Whimsicott, Scrafty and Vivillon. That's it. Literally 4 out of 335.
>>25841660
>Mind listing them? Just checked every final evo from gen 4 and on and the only ones it applies to are Swoobat, Whimsicott, Scrafty and Vivillon. That's it. Literally 4 out of 335.
even if you were right I don't see how thats a problem. Again the pokemon aren't designed for 20-30 year old losers on 4chan but for kids. and todays kids have different tastes than #90skids
and for what its worth the 90s brought terrible terrible design and most everything from it has aged terribly so I'm not sure why we would even praise something from that era...
>>25841768
>gen
>Swoobat, Whimsicott, Scrafty and Vivillon.
I think you're confused bro
The OP's edit is so bad. I made one that is very good.
Do you know that actual human children have proportionally huge heads in comparison to their torsos? with years the head gets proportionally smaller.
>>25837834
For you
>>25843129
wow OP was right all along this does look better!
>>25843129
Looks like deviant art giant fetish art.
>>25837957
Fixed it
i drew what the op truly wanted all along
>>25837686
I swear half of the monsters in this game are just that one cat with a different color palette

I actually ended up liking this one after I finished.

>>25843752
this is fun
you know i don't think this is limited to just pokemon
>>25843712
That actually looks better

but then i get a gengar woll smoth and i'm giggling my ass off
>>25837499
Charmander has a bigger head than Treecko...
>>25837560
At least use Sugimori art if you want to make a point... TCG art is all over the place.
>>25844035
this whole time i have just been making fetish art
brb killing myself
>>25837835
TCG art is basically licensed fanart. Sugimori art is the official designs.
Otherwise Chansey looked exactly like this at one point then...
