Almost 2 months until release, and there's already nitpicking

Holy fucking kek

Can't unsee it now.

worst new alola form next to marowak.

Lmao, it's arm doesn't even look connected to its body.

It honestly doesn't matter as long as it's fixed in the 3d model

You're not the first one to notice this OP. It's pretty obnoxious once you have though, and with it also being Ice/Steel (4x Fire and Fighting weaknesses) and apparently even slower than base Sandslash (who only has base 65 speed to begin with), this fucker is pretty much the most JUST Pokemon in existence.

>>28114420
>>28114426
It looks a bit better but still, shit

>>28114420
>>28114426

I think it's not fixed m8

>>28114426
>>28114420

Kek.

>>28114420
eh, it's intentional then. Guess it's not a big deal for arm movement, it's got noodle arms.

>>28114420
This is just terrible

>>28114348
You mean best, right? Ice Sandslash is fucking awesome.

>>28114493

The idea is cool.

But the execution looks like it's going to be horseshit.

>>28114217
funny you could do the exact samr pic to nitpic Sandshrew's eye

>>28114517
If by 'looks like its going to be' you mean gameplay-wise, then yeah I have no doubt about that. But as a design, I love it and think it looks far superior to the original. They did a good job with it and Ninetales.

The ice grew around its arms

>>28114348
>he doesn't like Coldsteel, the Pokemon

>>28114576
this. That icicle you see is basically its shoulder, imagine the whole thing rotating when it swings its arm.

>>28114697
If they actually animate that. They won't, but you can hope.

>>28114217
>>28114420
>what are shoulders

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE I hate sandslash now REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>28116701
>Being triggered by a pallet change
It's not like you were actually going to use Sandslash

>>28114348
how can someone hate alolan marowak
I don't get it, what kind of horrible taste do you have

>>28116742
>being this stupid

>>28116752
body too skinny, hole in the skull looks stupid

>>28116927
It's not a hole, it's a mark.
Alolan marowaks light up their clubs by rubbing them off their skull, so it leaves a mark.

You should at least read up on the fucking design.

>>28116927
its skinny because its a ghost

>>28116752
The way it holds both its arms behind it like its skydiving all the time is kind of awkward. I understand keeping the burning club at a safe distance from itself, but it still seems like an odd way to handle it.
The pose might grow on me as I see it more.

It's based on pacific island fire dancers, it needs to have the arms like that to have the space to spin it around effectively, make it easier to maneuver and without getting burnt while also giving it speed.
You can see him spinning the club and moving it during the attack/idle/intro animations on the video.

It's a really thought out design.

>>28116752
i used to be a loyal marowak fan, but it didnt survive the transition to 3d

Alolan marowak is evidence of this, as the poor bastards soul burns emaciated in its own personal hell

>>28116965
>>28117011
still looks like fucking shit

should have had a flaming skull

and it's also NOT a ghost, it channels supernatural powers enough to wield the typing though

Never got this meme, plenty of pokemon looked fine, amazing even in 3D, XY were not the first games to portray 3D pokemon.
Blame the awful XY modeling/animation team for fucking up a big number of pokemon, it's not that the design just doesn't works on 3d.

Another example of a pokemon that looks horrid on gen 6 but looked godly before.

>>28117378

they missed a trick and you know it dumb flame shirt poster

>>28117405
I'm not talking about xy specifically, marowak is one of many mons who lose their appeal in 3d

On the topic of 2d sprites (and sugi art) vs animated 3d models, I think one of the biggest challenges is a design that looks good in a few poses might not look so good in a neutral pose. Just look at plenty of the Gen 3 sprites for examples of awkward looking sprites.

>>28114697

Of course the in-game model is the same, that's the intended design. They're like shoulder-pads or something. The ice forms around the arms and into an icicle.

Looks like I'm not buying this game. Screwed yourselves gamefreak

>>28114558
>it looks far superior to the original
Drop dead.

>>28117433

They look identical.

>>28119666
how does he move his arms if they're enclosed in ice

that's now how shoulders work
