ITT cool pokemon with shitty evolutions
this guy. what a waste
I honestly like Dusclops and Dusknoir more than Duskull. What's the appeal to this thing ?
On topic : Dewott and pic related
>>26372562
I agree with everything in this post
6 years later, Samurott is still a mistake.
>>26372544
It exist for Pokémon lore.
Pokémon is not a fighting game.
>>26372544
I wish it had a better final evo than Dusknoir.
Hell even a mega evo to make it match Banette.
>>26372593
Shit taste alert
>>26372544
Dusclops is fine. Dusknoir is too much of a departure from the dead thing.
>>26372597
Dewott was a mistake. All we needed was a good connection to Samurott. Angry blue Oshawott doesn't cut it.
>>26372562
Dusclops and Dusknoir are cool, just not as evolutions for this guy. Duskull should have stuck with the grim reaper theme instead of changing into a mummy/cyclops
Also fuck Gengar. Haunter is way better, I have no clue why Gengar is such a meme now. Pokken? Fuck Pokken.
>>26372604
what the fuck are you talking about
>>26372616
Baltoy looks great, its evolution is ugly, its that simple.
>>26372597
6 years later, you still feel the need to have Dewott within the first five posts of every preevolution thread.
>>26372641
Dusknoir does pull it back to the reaper theme with the robes and hood.
>>26372730
What Robe?
That's an odd little tail.
>>26372752
Dusknoir has a kind of cuffed robe thing going on with his arms.Duskull's robe influence should be obvious
>>26372621
this is the only good opinion here
>>26372814
Duskull's is obvious, Dusknoir is a stretch because the only robe like thing is the tail.
Even Dusclops is more reminicient of being wrapped up in a robe with tassles of sorts coming off of the back and heels.
>>26372855
I mean if you want to ignore what I posted about the arms fine but Dusclops is full on mummy. the heel parts are just ripped bandages
Excellent first stage, awkward middle stage, absolutely based final evolution.
I feel the exact same way about Zubat.
Seriously, fuck Gen IV in general.
>>26372912
>I mean if you want to ignore what I posted about the arms
The arms don't even matter.
>>26372989
You never liked this thing.
>>26372696
You are not battle wise.
>>26373004
you know robes have sleeves right?
>>26372989
This guy
>>26372544
So much this
>>26372654
Stop acting like Pokémon is a fighting game.
>>26372562
I don't understand why some people prefer Haunter over Gengar.
It's not like Gengar moves away from the previous evolution, like Dragonite or Samurott.
It's still a spooky ghost.
So what's so special about Haunter that makes Gengar a shit for some people?
>>26373061
enlighten me
>>26373087
The shape and general face I guess. Haunter is a spiky triangular shape with floating claws and that's pretty cool
Gengar is a fat little shit with stubby limbs and a punchable trollface
>>26373128
So because Gengar is supposed to be more silly and a mischievous little shit, you prefer Haunter since it's cooler?
Aight, I get that.
Thanks anon.
>>26373049
You are aware that it doesn't resemble the sleeves of a robe right?
If anything it's a count against Dusknoir.
>>26372544
heh,,,a skull ghost,,,finally something mature,,,gamefreak really ruined it by not giving it a death themed evolution with a robe and a scythe,,,not its line is just a cartoonish garbage for kids,,,
>>26373173
as a different Haunter fan I just want to say that Mega Gengar fixes the problems I had with normal Gengar
>>26373209
Same here. Mega Gengar doesn't look like a fat boring blob. It's actually scary and it looks somewhat threatening, while still bro-able like Haunter.
>>26373180
many robes have that style,ususally plush ones
>>26372639
No, because even in a vacuum without being connected to Dewott or Oshawott Samurott's design doesn't work. It's the single worst designed pokemon in the franchise.
>>26373272
You mean the type of robe not seen on a reaper?
>duskull is a skull ghost with one eye
>dusclops is no longer a ghost and is now some sort of mummy, it also has one eye and a skull motif
>dusknoir is suddenly a ghost again but loses its skull motif
>>26372989
Why did they have to make every pokemon fat? I love Magmar, Electabuzz & Rhydon but their evolutions are disgusting. Luckily evolite is a thing.
>>26375369
The theme of the dusk line is lanterns.
>>26375369
The skull doesn't go away, it becomes Dusknoir's head and collar
All three being chochin-obake is more important than the skeleton->mummy->reaper theme.
>>26372621
I like Vibrava and I like Flygon but I don't like the fact that they're related.
>>26375403
This so much. I love Glameow but...
How did the most unique and interesting ghost type get the most generic ghost type as an evolution?
From a great support/status movepool with perish trapping and pain split to generic special sweeper ghost thats literally just a shittier version of Gengar?
>>26373128
>punchable
Only if you have Scrappy or Foresight.
I remember the unity /vp/ had when they saw Goodra ruin the Goomy line.
>>26375606
>I love Glameow but...
you're a faggot that ends sentences with ellipses?
Obligatory mention
But mostly Spritzee
>>26372544
Dusknoir is far better for me.
The king.
i know elekid came out after electabuzz but to me it looks infinitely cooler and cuter than both electabuzz and electivire

>Swirlix is my favorite gen 6 mon

This one always made me sad.

I feel your pain anon

>disliking cupcake dog
>>26375877
This so much. I don't mind the tongue scarf, but Greninja's head triangles and eyes are ugly.
>>26376008
I hate both the tongue scarf and how darker it is, plus the head is pretty fucking dumb yeah.
>>26372562
>>26375655
>>26375777
>>26375803
All of these. Also Dragonite<Dragonair
>>26376056
>>26376008
I often times can't stand all the circles that shape it's entire body. He's all triangles and circles.
Cute Wooper evolves into failed downs abort
>>26375877
What could've been. One of the few cases when I would've preferred it to "just get bigger".
>>26372706
Uh yeah. As far as im concerned Samurott isnt Canon
Spritzee. It could have been a Fairy/Poison plague doctor flamingo and then that slut Aromatisse decided to try and seduce me.
>>26372544
>>26372641
>>26372730
>>26373202
>>26375369
I can't be the only one that sees Duskull as a hunched old person with arms behind their back and not a damn reaper.
>>26376521
Plague doctor fags still salty I see
>>26375541
And you figured this out by... What?
Not trying to h8 but please explain.
>>26376987
Not that guy, but I guess he came to that conclusion because Duskull is hollow with a light (the eye) inside? It's evos don't have any lantern qualities though.
>>26377052
Dusclops is a Japanese paper lantern. No idea about Dusknoir.
>>26375655
>Ruin
That's wrong tho.
>>26372544
I think the main problem with the Duskull line is that they were different enough from each other to belong in separate evolutions. I mean, Duskull is a Grim Reaper, Dusclops is a mummy, and Dusknoir is a cyclops (come to think about it, all of them are one-eyed).
I mean, all of them are equally awesome, but their designs just don't fit as well together.
Dusclops and Dusknoir should have stayed with the Grim Reaper theme, while Dusclops' original design should have been used in a Ghost/Ground mummy Pokémon. However, I don't know where else could we fit Dusknoir's design.
>>26377186
dusknoir is still fairly grim reaperish, specially if you read the pokedex entries.
dusclops is totally out of place, im glad that with dusknoir we at least regained the flaming eye. wish they had kept the skull though
>>26376630
Don't worry anon, i see it too
>>26377082
Still the same thing, but with the handle of the lantern as the head now. To really get the point across, they kept a face on the lantern part of its body and made Dusknoir glow.
>>26373300
This guy gets it.
>>26377082
Dusknoir is a jack o lantern
>>26373300
Oshawott and Dewott don't work either. What's your point?
Rhydon is a tragedy of a greater magnitude than 9/11
>>26377488
I agree. Good thing Rhyperior saved the Rhyhorn line.
>>26377488
I think you meant rhyperior
>>26373087
Some people didn't have friends to ever get Gengar.
>>26373087
Because it looks like a traditional ghost and not a cheshire cat blob with stubby arms and legs
>>26372544
never ever
