So what audience did GF want with Turtonator?

>>27895092
The Pokemon Audience

>>27895092
The Pokemon one.

Kappa

>>27895092
The TMNT audience that likes Fire and Dragon-types

>>27895092
I don't think you fully understand how much japan fucking loves kappas

>>27895092
Furries

>>27895092
The turtle audience

>>27895092
Have you seen his signature move animation? Shit looks like a Z move.
Plus who wouldn't like an explosion kappa

It honestly sorta looks like a Yo-Kai

>>27895092
>"Tired of cute blob-mons like Comfey and Bounsweet? How do you like this?"

Turtonator? More like TURDonator hahahah!!!

>>27895126
>>27895133
It bugs the fuck out of me that we already had a fire type Kappa AND a fire type turtle, and yet they made this guy.

I like it otherwise, but I just feel it fills a niche that was already filled.

Anyone?

They wanted the ALLAHU ACKBAR one.

>>27895304
We had a fire kappa?

>>27895230
>>27895284

Laugh all you want, but this might be the fourth or fifth design this gen "stolen" from Sage. Hmm...

>>27895092
The audience that likes Magmar, Magmortar and Heatmor but might also want something that will make opponents sweat a little.

>>27895324
>not recognising a Hoenn mon

>>27895363
Boober

>>27895363
Nope

>>27895363
Boober

>>27895324

Implying anyone gives a fuck about them, outside of the circle jerk.

The Magmar audience

The kaiju fanboys, and I fucking love it

>>27895092

Did they really not realize that its name would sound like "Turdonator" when said out loud?

>>27895379
I don't even know what you're on about. Of course i recognised Torkoal you fucking goon, i mean how can you not recognise a Sage mon unless you're new?
>>27895365
What were the others?

>>27895365
Wait what did they steal so far? The only thing I know is the Harambe bullshit but that only involves memeing sub humans and will blow over soon.

>>27895092
We want the mistake audience.

Woooowww

>>27895365
garbodor and what are the others?

>>27895092

There wasn't a specific audience

they don't start Pokemon that way, that's just your shitty reason to complain

They took a dragon turtle

And made him in the literal sense

>>27895092
People who can ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE THE MATAMATA

>>27895126
BibleThump

>>27895572
Dude it's just a meme

>>27895092
Whatever audience I am, I fucking love the fire/dragon matamata turtle. I hope it has a prevo or an evolution too.

>tfw Turtonator's debut spotlight gets stolen by Ass getting cucked in the league again

>>27895230
>tfw that actually looks better

>>27895349
First thing I thought of too with the pose

>>27895804
a lot of sagemons does
but /vp/ is too arrogant to admit that.
also, we have this meme
>we must defend any new revealed pokemon

>>27896044
We also have this meme here
>we must shit on every new pokemon reveal
Basically this whole place is retarded

>>27895414
Yes. One of my first thoughts was this think looks like a dang kaiju.

Agreed. Its colour scheme and general Japanese-ness (eg. the rice paddy hat) give it a Yo-Kai sort of look, but that's not a bad thing. I honestly like Turtonator.

Besides, it shows that Yo-Kai Watch has Game Freak worried. YW isn't as popular in Japan as it once was, so it's the perfect opportunity for Game Freak to swoop in and grab all those former fans with similar creatures and gameplay (cough, Rotomdex).

It doesn't look EXACTLY like a Yo-Kai, but there's some definite similarities.

>>27895777
>Turtonator is the balm that eases the pain a little
I love you Turtonator. Hope you beat up Ash's team next season.

>>27896342
>it shows that Yo-Kai Watch has Game Freak worried
No, it shows that GF knows what a Kappa looks like. Good grief.

>>27895092
Druddigon fans

IS THE YELLOW PART THE MOUTH OR THE BIRDO SNOUT?

This. I love it.

Literally my moms matamata/kappa hybrid

>>27895349
Came to post this. They want the Mega Man X6 audience

honestly it doesn't look goofier than magmar.

Is that his nose or his mouth?

>>27895530
>themeless game
I don't know about you, but it's pretty consistent from what I've seen.

>>27895349
Gate did nothing wrong

I was a little iffy when I first saw it on my phone at work, but now that ive had a chance to sit down and look at the trailer, its actually pretty sweet.

>>27897260

I'm choosing to believe he has a Birdo snout. The yellow line being his mouth ruins the design

>>27897298
the line looks like it cuts off before reaching the mouth/nose, it looks more like a mustache than anything else. I'll go with your birdo snout idea

>>27895092
is the mouth a snout or a nose

When i saw the silhouette i thought it would be a shield or a tribal mask that throws disks

like this pic, not a fire dragon turtle

>>27895349
Fuck him and his stage

>>27895414
also its 6'7"

>>27895092
I've been wishing for more Kaiju Pokemon and they gave me Gamera, you can all blame me for this.

>>27897268
Fuck Gate, man
