>you'll never be hugged by bearguy
whew
>>27229651
That's okay. I'd rather my spine not be snapped in half.
>>27229651
>you will never kill the person who created this cancer before they could
Worst feeling ever.
>>27229697
>actually being pissy over a Pokemon design
>>27229651
I know a lot of people aren't liking its color scheme, but Its actually starting to grow on me
>>27229711
>wow he doesn't like a new pokemon, what a hater! g-genwunner!
It's a shit design and you know it.
>>27229741
It's not the color scheme that's the problem, it's the fact that it's a fucking stupid and ugly design.
>wow don't you know it's a mascot?
So? Just because it has an explanation for its design doesn't make it a good design.
>>27229771
I rather get a hug from a Pangoro
>>27229746
>>27229757
>he doesn't think this would make a cool new mascot suit/cosplay instead of seeing the same shitty eeveelution gijinkas year after year
Not every mon is meant to cater to all parts of the fandom, Kiteruguma is for the side that likes cute and will throw money at cute merchandise. If you don't like it that's probably because it wasn't made with you in mind in the first place.
>>27229757
Wait, people are saying its suppose to be a mascot? Its a fucking red panda. Im still on board with the Neapolitan colors, rather than trying to look realistic though
>>27229807
I want them to have a hugging contest, which half-fighting panda will squeeze the life out of the other one.
>>27229863
>6'10"
>not a mascot
>>27229873
Pangoro, of course!
>>27229863
Explaining it as a red panda mascot makes the design a little bit less utterly revolting, I have to admit. If it's just supposed to be a red panda then that's just fucking sad, honestly.
>>27229854
So? I know they're always gonna have cutesy pokemon just meant to sell merch; hell, look at almost every other pokemon in gen 7. The difference is that this pokemon's design is fundamentally lazy and shitty. Sure, it's cute, and sure, people who just like cute stuff will like it, but something being cute doesn't instantly mean it's a good design for a species of animal in a video game.
>>27229924
Are you certain?
>>27229948
I am!
>>27229930
>animal
It's Pokemon not Pokeani
>>27230002
But is Pangoro The Fighting King of the Forest? Do people make signs warning about Pangoro?
I think you underestimate the power of hugs, friend.
>>27230179
Anon, Pangoro protects the weak from Bullies. He knows self control.
>>27229651
>>27229711
>conceptually brilliant
The fact that it seems to just have a single dead-eyed expression at all times and is fucking huge would definitely seem to lend credence to the idea that it's based on a mascot. I think they probably could have stood to give it some kind of pattern around the neck area evoking a zipper or something just to make it a bit more clear though.
>>27230198
But Kiteruguma is not a bully either, just a lover that doesn't know his own strength.
>>27230004
It's a species that lives in the pokemon world. A monster is still an animal.
>>27230206
If they did that I might actually like the design a little bit, but as it is it's just so fucking lazy and bland.
>>27229746
Oh please, Anon, nowhere did I call them a genwunner. Not only that, I never said anything about 'new Pokemon'. All I'm actually saying is that getting angry over a Pokemon design is really silly.
Are you projecting in any way? Do you need to talk about it? Sit down and tell me what's wrong. Why is it that you think that just because you dislike a design, it means it's a bad design?
>>27229854
>cute
Isn't it supposed to be like scary as shit?
I haven't looked more than once but I swear the flavor text said it pretends to hug things and then crushes them
>>27230272
There's no pretend about it, it likes to hug things but doesn't realize how strong it is.
>>27230225
That is nothing but a flaw
>>27230272
Nah, he's just a big friendly retard with retard strength. The warning signs are put up because, while his heart is in the right place, he can't help but hurt people accidentally.
>>27230309
This post has made me decide that I'm gonna name mine Lenny.
>>27230271
It's just that everyone defends every new pokemon with the fact that it's new, and if you don't like them you're a nostalgiafag.
I will admit to being a hothead, but it's just because this design is literally something a toddler would doodle and I'm being called a nostalgiafag for not being in love with it.
>>27230302
It wouldn't have to be such a bad flaw if he were to have a partner who could withstand his hugs.
>>27230335
This, owning a kiteruguma would be an excellent reason to get swole and become a hugging grand champion.
>>27229651
>wanting this fakemon to smear its design shit on your body
>>27230335
Pangoro can take it, Anon, he is a big guy.
I want to hug Pangoronaked.
>>27230541
>weak to fighting
>>27230694
>>27230849
They're both weak to fighting.
When are we gonna get a trailer and new info for this guy and Mimikkyu?
>>27230541
for you
>>27229746
Not all designs are going to appeal to everyone. That's the point of having almost over 1000 of these critters. Huggy mascotmon is going to be someone's favorite for some reason or another.
I want it to whip out its dick and teach me a lesson.
>>27230541
They are both big pokemon. In fact, they're both about the same height, actually!
All the better for a Kiteruguma to see eye to eye with a Pangoro during some one-on-one training. It's a shame we still don't know much about Kiteruguma's moves, but I'd money that he's gonna be able to know Work Up and probably learn some punches and throws, and maybe even Body Slam.
But of course, even after they're both out of energy and sweaty, it really wouldn't be a true Pangoro match without getting to experience hisParting Shot.
>>27229651
The concept of this Pokemon is Kinda scary when you think about it.
>>27232282
I like that it's so cute, it's scary.
>>27231008
If I take that cape off will you faint?
>>27229863
>>27229930
>retards who think it can't be a mascot AND a red character
I fucking love this thing
I knew it reminded me of another game's creature. It reminded me of this motherfucker from Phantasy Star Online 2.
>Looks cute and harmless
>Walks up to you wanting a hug
>When close, does a backflip and reveals a nightmarish mouth on its backside
>Then tries to grab you and bash you while its backside (now front) stares intently at you
Hugbear is now up there in my favorites of this gen.
I remember back when Gen 6 Pokemon were being revealed and Flabebe first got unveiled, the reaction here was extremely negative. People were saying it was the worst design ever, people were gonna leave the series, etc. Now Gen 7 is coming out and literally nobody gives a fuck either way about Flabebe, more people might actually like the thing than dislike it.
Give it a year or two and you all will get used to this thing.
>>27229863
>Human sized
>Looks simplistic, stuffed, even its tail sticks out unnaturally
>whole design looks emotionless, stiff
>loves to HUG STUFF
It's definitely supposed to look like a person in a red panda suit famalam.
>>27229651
IDK if its just me but it strikes me as that gentle giant archtype. Like it enjoys really simple things and is really nice but can flip your shit if its mad. Really like it
>>27234527
I miss phantasy star online episode 1 - 2 was whatever.
>>27229930
>a species of animal
>>27230240
>It's a species that lives in the pokemon world. A monster is still an animal.
Voltorb and Magnemite says to kill yourself.
>>27234567
This.
Reminder that there gonna be 800+ pokemon plus megas and alternate forms and milions of pokemon fan out there of pretty much any age from little kids to adults, it doesn't Matter Who likes or dislikes what because of the great variety of both designs and audience
>>27230503
>fakemon
Its real anon, so prepare your anus fror the greatest "hug" of your life by second best bear
>>27229746
No one called you a genwunner retard.
>>27233287
>I keep screaming, but god doesn't hear me
>>27234567
Flabebe is a qt. It's overshadowed by its evolutions though. Floette for having (arguably) the best design of the three, and having that nice-looking Eternal Flower form, and Florges for having that God-tier booty.
