you really are autistic aren't you?

People can hate whatever they want for whatever reasons, pussy

>>27991507

I didn't say they couldn't, but just lazily going "PALLOSAND IS JUST AS BAD AS MUK!" is really retarded if you are too simple minded to actually compare the justifications and reasoning behind Muk.

"BUT THEY'RE KIND OF SIMILAR, SO THEY'RE BOTH BAD. IN FACT MUK IS WORSE!"

No

Name like, 5

Otherwise, sandcastles are not fucking castles. They literally put eyes on a pile of sand.

Personally, I feel like these designs are incredible well developed and are integrated into the storyline for Alola.

Sandygast specifically calls out to me because of the rite of passage aspect involving putting your hand into the soul sucking black hole that is its mouth. It's integrated into the region's culture and has a decent design.

Would I ever use it? Nah, the ability is borked because few pokemon use physical water type moves, but hey, if you look at it without comparing it to other, better pokemon, it's really not bad at all. This gen seems to be one of the best designed gens so far. I'm really excited

I'll at least agree with this.

>One of very few Pokemon whose design actually affects gameplay
Recent footage shows that the beach area has something like a quicksand. This can be assume to be Sandyghast/Palossand. In other words, it also affects gameplay.

> Is there a sandcastle JRPG trope?
No. But the haunted castle is a JRPG trope. Hell, Dracula's Castle in Castlevania is pretty much alive.

>it's an icicle cleverly designed to look like an ice cream cone
Not a Ghost type though. If it is, it'll be a literal ice cream.

Doesn't this goes against your point?

It isn't subjective and other people like it.

>>27991685

And that's fucking fine, go ahead and criticize voltorb for being a bland chest monster, but don't pretend that voltorb and pallossand are on the same level, because one had a justification, and the other was "HAHAHA THERE'S SAND ON HAWAII! LET'S MAKE A SAND CASTLE POKEMON! GOOD IDEA, AND WE'LL MAKE IT GHOST BECAUSE SPOOKY SPIRITS!" "GENIUS! THAT'S ONE POKEMON CHECKED OFF THE QUOTA"

>>27991451
I like the concept but not the execution. A sand monster on a place filled with beaches that shows up in the overworld is cool. It just looks kinda silly.

Prevo has a team spot though. He looks great.

Then Pallosand is a ghost cleverly designed to look like a sand castle.

I like sandygast/pallosand a lot. It's a cute and fun design. They even gave it a thoughtful, unique and relatively unexpected typing and ability. It's literally a spooky sandcastle come to life! How can something so light-hearted and silly cause such aggressive and angry reactions?

Oh of course, here he comes, like a moth to a flame, the contrarian faggot. Nothing makes him hornier than immediately contradicting popular opinion with his fake and irrational tastes.

>OH I LOVE PALLOSSAND!
>WORMADAM IS MY POKEBRO!
>CHIMECHO IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE POKEMON!
>I OWN 1000 DOLLARS WORTH OF CASTFORM MERCH BECAUSE OF HOW AMAZING IT IS!

Said no one ever. Except for the piece of shit whose favorite part of a pokemon's design is how much of a special snowflake it makes him feel like due to how bad it is, and in an alternate universe where shitty designs were popular, the contrarian faggot would be first in line to crusade against the same shitty pokemon they claim to love.

You are the same person who claims that Sonic '06 is art. The same person who thinks Naruto's final arc was the best. The same person who claims that Batman V Superman is better than the Avengers.

This is the kind of drooling idiot that people see you as when you claim to like Palossand. Next time try and have some damn perspective

Usually I make it a point to like every ghost design, but I can't seem to make myself like Pallosand. I don't hate it, I just don't like it much.

I like Sandygast a lot tho.

Lets set the record straight shall we?

I think wormadam is forgettable at best.
Chimecho is one of my favorite gen 3 pokemon.
I own very little merch, but that includes Inkay, Drifloon, Whiscash and Shellos plushies.
I think all of sonic is stupid, and dont understand why it's still around.
I never finished watching Naruto because I got bored.
Both Batman V Superman and the Avengers look like shitty movies and I wouldnt waste the time watching them.

AND I like Palossand! Stay mad, anon!

alternatively, you could learn about subjectivity and how it relates to opinions and personal preferences

>>27992211
anti-Greninjafag had little to say despite his verbosity though, hell he'd have entire tangents that had little to nothing to do with Greninja ifself. I wouldn't classify this as that.

And this is a haunted castle. But a sand castle. Goes with the Hawaii theme. Get over it.

Yes, my favorite childhood memories were movies where ghosts take over lawn mowers.

if you honestly think the "rpg trope slime" is an excuse for muk then you are a retard. just because it's generic and in most rpgs does NOT mean they had to include one and a shitty boring looking one at that. so including a trope is far more

>running out of ideas!!!!

than the sandcastle ghost because it's relying on a standard, rather than looking at things in the world and designing something original based on that.

Pallossand is as close as you can get to a literal cartoon sand castle while still looking like a living animal, and for that it's neat. Plus bonus points for having a style we haven't really seen in Pokemon before.

It's simple as fuck but also unique, what more could you ask for with a sand castle pokemon?

Voltorb and Muk are well designed. Simple does not equal bad.

>>27991451
>don't irrationally hate pokemon

>>27991451
Why are people so triggered by the sandcastle? It isn't even the Pokemon itself that triggers people, it's the fact that people like it. The "stop liking what I don't like" mentality is as pointless as it is stupid and juvenile. Hate if if you want, but don't try to stop other people from liking it.

>>27991451
Holy shit you're so triggered it's great, just like Palossand's design. :^)

being a chest mimic doesn't excuse it from having shit design, much like a simple chest with eyes would be a shit standard mimic design you faggot. it also doesn't explain or excuse it's shitty evo's design.

and since we're talking about shit designs, defend jynx please. a female mr. popo, a nigger, whatever you wanna call it. or dragonite being a yellow barney instead of resembling dragonair in the slightest.

the truth is the only way pokemon designs have evolved in the slightest is in the amount of detail/colors, which is linked to the software and hardware upgrades with new gens of console coming out along the series and the modern tendencies.
we've always had shit designs, inanimate objects, slimes, cartoonish shit, and some good ones in the midst. you just defend gen 1 because of nostalgia but it's the exact same shit as the rest, except bare bones and broken as well in the original games.

>>27991655
