Thoughts on Smogon's CAP-mon?

They have incredibly shitty designs, as expected from those idiots.

>>27067625
Shitty waifumon

What... is it? A pot of goo?

The snek is cool

>>27067625
Every single of them is pure shit in terms of design, concept and execution.

/thread. Smogon is a complete failure.

This one looks nifty.

>>27067895
I like Necturna and Mollux but that's pretty much it.

>>27067865
Please, I would be delighted to see one of your creations. Come on, don't be shy.

They don't work as regular Pokemon/Fakemon because they're designed with the intent to fill/create niches in Smogon's meta. If you don't believe me, just look at their stat builds, abilities and movepools.

I think this is the one that everyone jumped on them about.

>>27068064
So why design a waifumon (looking at you >>27067625) if the goal is to fill niches? Is Waifuability a niche?

>>27068158
The niche-filling comes first, then a design is decided on when they find a project they want to work on.

>>27068158
they plot a concept first (poke who can only learn sketch once, fire/poison rain abuser) and then users submit designs which are voted on. Someone submitted a waifumon and peeple voted it

>>27067924

Are you literally a fourteen years old girl?

Wasn't there someone doing a Change.org petition this to become a real Pokémon?

>>27068432

Fuck it.

I can't fly a helicopter, but if I see a guy crash land into a tree, I would still call him an awful pilot.

You are correct lad, here it is in all of its glory

>>27068523
I'm going to throw up.

>>27067625
Well, it looks nothing like a Pokemon. Looks like a Dragon Quest enemy.

>>27068523
You know what'd be horrible.
Game Freak makes a poison pot mon completely unaware of this. And everyone starts yell about Smogon and Game Freak working together.

Is smogon creating fakemons now? What?

>>27068523
Smogonfags, everyone.

>>27068387
You can actually go back and look at the rejected designs. The designs are chosen based on popularity anyway.

>>27068387
>an amorphous vaguely human-shaped blob is a "waifu"
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it.

>>27068702
This has been a thing for years now. The Create-A-Pokemon project, where smogon designs Pokemon to fill certain niches in their meta. The actual aesthetics comes way later, the niche, stats, and moveset are done first.

>>27067625
>meant to be a frail sweeper
Anyone who looks at its design would think the opposite. I'm not sure if that's the intent or not since it's a mimic, but it's retarded because a stone box shouldn't be lightning fast even with a goo girl in it.

i hate smogon
smogon is dumb
looks like shit
battles like shit
smogon is shit
fuck smogon

>>27068812
maybe /vp/ has corrupted me, but it's too human-shaped with a feminine tinge for me.

>>27068812
Obviously you haven't been on the Internet long enough.

I don't get smogon. It's not unusual for then to ban something because of It's extreme versatility, so why in god's name would they give this things 3 really good boosting moves great coverage, great abilitys and a great support movepool?

>>27069309
The creation of Auramoth was rigged by the poll makers.
Instead of perma-banning them and removing Auramoth from existance they only got a week-long ban and Auramoth was allowed to exist.

>>27069490
How was it rigged? People botted votes or something?

>>27069516
Pretty much, Auramoth is considered a complete failure in CAP because of this.
Now why didn't they remove it and start from scratch? Fuck I don't know.

>>27069602
So people pretty much vote spammed its moveset, typing, design, etc?

That sounds hilarious.

>>27069309
It doesn't justify but I'm sure the logic is that Crawdaunt and Whiscash got it and have no apparent reason for getting Dragon Dance

>>27069635
It started ok.The concept was simply "A psuedo with a shit type that is a powerhouse despite this" or something similar. Like ttar. But then they went full retard and everyone is laughing forever.

Abilities/Movepool were the things that got rigged.

>>27069749
They also got so scared of CAPmon being royally outclassed by Genesect that they made this monstrosity.

Thankfully, it got nerfed some time later but still has some nonsense like Dragon Dance and whatnot.

The artist goes by the nickname of Yilx. He often submits waifumons on CAP Projects, and iirc this this was the first and only of his designs to ever win.

He doesn't submit only waifumons (I think Mollux is his), but it's his preferred style.

>>27070912
>The artist goes by the nickname of Yilx. He often submits waifumons on CAP Projects,
I actually remember this, and I do remember thinking when thsoe posts were made that I often saw blatant waifus go unpicked pretty often. I tried to enter one once or twice but I lost interest for some reason.

honestly it's LITERALLY a Yokai Watch design

don't deny it

>>27068476
>Comparing flying a helicopter to designing a fictional monster.
Sounds to me like you are just a blind hater bro.

>>27070970
It's older than Yokai Watch. Like, a year or two.

they all look like they came from yokai watch. not that I really mind since I like yw but they definitely don't look like pokemon

>>27070664
im pretty sure he meant to comment on

I like Mollux and Krilowatt but everything else is shit

>>27070938

Oh ,I just remembered there was the Grass/Ghost too.

>check out Yilx on dA

quality artists you have there Smogon

>>27068653
Came here to post exactly this, it definitely looks like something that you would find in dragon quest.

>>27071985
H-he wasn't like that back in my time!
