I am boxing my starter and really hope this thing has a cool evee-like evolution or better. I really don't want some normal terrier / raticate evo
>>28387713
Same.
The idea of a werewolf sounds pretty rad to me. I know some people sperg out about bipedal pokemon, but no fucking idea why, as long as the design is good, I'm content.
Even if those leaks end up being false, I can see it even getting an Arcanine like evolution, which would be equally as cool. Way better than the shitty starters finals we have now.
>>28387761
People mostly get mad about the bipeds that look super human or like fursonas (Ex: Jynx, Machamp, Delphox, Litten3)
Jynx and Delphox are the only ones I can understand people being mad about, since Phox often looks like a bland devianart furry evolution of Braixen. And Jynx is...Jynx.
>>28387761
>I know some people sperg out about bipedal pokemon, but no fucking idea why
It's because those people are ignorant shits whose reasons make little to no sense at all.
>>28387885
>And Jynx is...Jynx
Nothing wrong with that.
They're called pocket MONSTERS for a reason, they're not always meant to look pretty.
It doesn't feel very rock-like.
>>28387956
Its ruff is very rock-like, hence the name.
>>28387956
I like that. I like the variety. Most Rock Pokemon literally ARE rocks, or have rocks covering them, but Rockruff is more elementally tied to Rock.
That being said, we don't know it's evolution yet. >28381928 is fake as fuck, but I think it does represent a thematically logical way for it's evolution to more strongly tie in with the theme.
>>28387923
>monster
Oh please. It's a blatant reference to Japanese blackface.
Why do you think GF ignores it as much as possible? Even they know the design is a fuckup.
>>28387956
Looks more Rock than Treecko does Grass.
>>28388026
Forgot image, my bad.
>>28387713
I'm just hoping you can get it really early before the first badge.
>>28388056
Treecko's tail is a big leaf.
>>28388056
>green gecko with giant leaf tail
>"gee I wonder what type it is!"
>>28388026
Treecko has leaf tail and is a cartoony version of a lizard that camouflages itself in trees.
Rockruff has rock collar but doesn't seem to be a dog which lives in caves
Nah.
>>28387885
It sometimes feels like people are missing the point in the word "monster" and mistake it for "animals". That is the thing thats unique to pokemon, everything can be made into a pokemon. Even bipedal heel wrestler litten, mage foxes or flying icecream cones.
>>28388054
>Even they know the design is a fuckup.
More like they don't want to bother with over-sensitive Americans
>>28388177
I'm sure all the other countries just adore Jynx
>>28388152
>Rockruff has rock collar but doesn't seem to be a dog which lives in caves
So what? Pokemon can be Rock type for other reasons than just where they live.
Fossil Pokemon are Rock type because theyre from Fossils. Has nothing to do with where they live, with many living in the forests and plains and shit.
Sudowoodo doesn't live in caves, it's a mimick of a tree, so it lives in the forest.
Shuckle is found on beaches
Rhyhorn generally has a habitat of plains.
Typing doesn't directly relate to habitat. Has a tendency, but it's not a rule.
>>28388273
Counterpoint-all those water types that are just that because they live in water.
>>28387761
I like the werewolf idea too but it definitely doesn't have to be bipedal to communicate it.
>>28388332
Something like Mega Swampert?
>>28388316
Palkia and Stunfisk
>>28388316
>Counterpoint-all those water types that are just that because they live in water
No. It's because they have a stronger Water elemental connection.
You realize there's a shit ton of non-Water type aquatic Pokemon, right? Dratini lives in water, but it's not part Water type.
>>28388332
Sure, no doubt. I don't particularly care if it is biped or quadruped myself, I just posed that since biped seems most likely for a werewolf, and people irrationally hate that because of "muh furries" or some shit. People just let a small portion of faggotry ruin shit for them, I guess.
>>28387761
I probably won't like rockruff evo because it's gonna be a bipedal edgy furshitI still hope it ain't so but it do
>>28388357
Yeah that'd actually be pretty cool! The most terrifying werewolves to me are the ones that are more like dire wolves. I mainly don't want it to be bipedal in case Luchalitten (and friends) are real though. Gives more variety.
>>28388082
>>28388116
What the fuck kind of leaf looks like that?
>>28388332
>>28387761
>>28388407
You all know a werewolf Pokemon can be both bipedal and quadrupedal, right?
Pic mostly related
>>28388512
What I've seen from the game it's more bipedal, and I fear rockruff is gonna look similar to this. (not hating on zororak, but I personally don't like its appearance)
>>28388484
It is literally based on a LEAF TAILED GECKO.
This is your last (you) from me
>>28388402
>shit ton
uh what else
>>28388407
>bipedal edgy furshit
See, it's shit like this that I just don't get.
To set it out there firstly, I dont care if you don't like the final evolution, whatever it is. But why is it that fur faggotry is what ruins it for you? Gamefreak doesn't design it with some intensely niche, looked down upon group of weirdos in mind. Theyre just trying to make cool designs. Why does the idea of some faggots acting like faggots with a Pokemon momentarily brought into association affect anything?
You realize that would happen if it was bipedal or not right? No, scratch that, it will happen even if it's completely fucking limbless. It happens to every pokemon. Period. Faggotry knows no bounds.
So why draw that connection so closely to the Pokemon, when it's not inherently there? Hate it all you want, but that reasoning just doesn't cut it.
>>28388258
Yes, there's a lot of Jynx related merch.
>>28388585
>Gamefreak doesn't design it with some intensely niche, looked down upon group of weirdos in mind. Theyre just trying to make cool designs
>>28388619
>tfw M-Lopunny is bro-tier but you get called a furfag for using it
>>28388619
You're just as bad as furfaggots if you honestly, genuinely think that that's supposed to be sexually enticing.
It's vaguely meant to be human like in a "hey look a cute bunny girl", and that's fucking it. It's never shown off sexually. It never does anything sexual. It doesn't even have fucking human related curves, it's body is made up of tubes and shit.
>>28388670
Just use a male one
>>28388685
>>28388703
That's the obvious solution but my autism simply won't let me use a male version of a Pokemon that feminine.
>>28388583
Just off the top of my head:
>Dratini
>Dragonair
>Dragonite
>Lugia
>Inkay
>Malamar
>Dragalge
>Cradily
>Lileep
>Anorith
>Armaldo
>Stunfisk
And then there's shit like Grimer and Muk which are found in water. Shuckle lives on beaches.
>>28388757
Does the Eelektross line live in water?
>>28388685
I'm sorry I'm mostly with you but it's damn mega has ripped stockings. I'm not sure how to rationalize that as non-sexual.
>>28388777
Just checked, and yeah, dex entry states it lives in the ocean as well. So I guess we can add that to the list.
>>28388722
I don't know what this is supposed to mean. I really hope youre not trying to say that thing is sexual either.
>>28388585
You're right, it will happen anyway.
I don't really care much about the bipedal thing, it's more the combination of gamefreak making it edgy instead of cool and then trying to shove it up my asshole throughout half of the storyline.
>>28388685
>It's never shown off sexually
Except for the fur on its wrists that clearly represents handcuffs, the fur on its legs that represents high boots and the fact that bunny girls are the quintessential japanese erotic costume.
>>28388757
You forgot Eelektross.
>>28388703
>implying a male one changes anything
People will just think that you're a gay furfag wishing to ravage his boypussy instead.
>>28388685
>it's body is made up of tubes and shit.
Just like the human body.
>>28388820
I'd say it's sexual in the most far-off kind of way. As in, it's body shape is meant to give off the impression of wide hips and thick thighs but the actual Pokemon itself isn't sexual if you look at it for more than 2 seconds.
>>28388816
I dont see how that even IS expressly sexual. It's a visual play on ripped leggings (which are a pretty common fashion trend), and the spots on a rabbit.
It's just supposed to be "cute bunny girl" and that's it.
>>28388834
Literal furfaggot detected.
Theyre not fucking handcuffs. It's holding it's hands up in a shy manner. You realize it can split them apart, right?
>quintessential japanese erotic costume.
You know nothing of japanese culture.
>>28388890
I'm not even remotely attracted to Lopunny, but unlike you I'm not being purposely oblivious about what it represents.
>You realize it can split them apart, right?
Yes, they still represent handcuffs.
Specifically the type that's used in erotic play.
>You know nothing of japanese culture
Enlighten me.
>>28387713
It evolves into a not-fucked-up Type:Null.
>>28388977
>Yes, they still represent handcuffs.
Specifically the type that's used in erotic play.
Bullshit. That's reaching hard as hell. Because it vaguely looks like something similar, doesn't mean it's MEANT to be that. It's got the same damn type of fur all over the ends of it's body, it's just a visual tie-in. Also, why the hell would it be holding them tied directly together, and up? Handcuffs dont fucking working like that, there's space between them, and they're held behind your back. You may as well say that Reuniclus's ball things in it's arms are anal beads.
>Enlighten me.
Lemme ask you something. Do you think a pizza delivery job is symbolic exclusively of sex, just because it appears in pornos? No? Same thing here.
It's really not some far out idea that "girls like cute things", especially in japan where cute is an intensely strong marketing strategy. Just because bunny girls appear in porn, it doesn't mean that it's exclusively porn related, or that everytime a girl has some sort of bunny related costume that it's meant to be sexually enticing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsIb3BZfIAE
Just some random japanese advert. Nothing sexual about it. Just meant to be cute. That's it.
If Lopunny had giant tits, and an hourglass figure, then yeah, I'd agree. But "fur around it's hands" and a feminine design doesnt make it instantly an intentional sex object, jesus.
>>28388890
I thought the patterns on the legs were to be evoking of clothes being ripped open by its huge fighting-type muscles.
>>28387761
So if the starters ends up bipedal and/or to much humanoid they're shit, but rockruff can pretty much become a lucario/Zorak recolor with the same attention whore role in this gen and it's okay ?
That's one more reason to hate this shitmon, we don't know it's evolution yet but we can be sure it's gonna be the same shit as lucario all over again.
>>28389197
Nah they look more like ripped stockings to me.
>>28389152
It holds them like that to show that its hands are tied together. Of course there's not an actual chain between the tufts of fur, but the reference is clear.
>Do you think a pizza delivery job is symbolic exclusively of sex, just because it appears in pornos?
No, because it's not mainly related to sex, unlike bunny girls.
>>28389365
Nice false dichotomy there.
When and where in that post did I say shit about the starters being bad because theyre bipedal? This might be a crazy fuckin' thought, but I can dislike them for elements unrelated to that.
>>28389390
>It holds them like that to show that its hands are tied together. Of course there's not an actual chain between the tufts of fur, but the reference is clear.
>It holds it's fully detatchable hands incorrectly close and in the wrong position, one that looks very similar to a girl covering her face due to being shy, a trait that's shared with the perception of rabbits, but not, theyre totally handcuffs bro.
>unlike bunny girls
Bunny girls are primarily meant to be cute. That's it.
>>28388585
>gamefreak doesn't know that the pokemon fan base is loaded with furfags
>>28387713
only way I'm not using it is if it goes rock/dark
>>28389494
Spend some time outside of 4chan for once, go outside, talk to people. You'll realize how intensely rare furries really are.
>>28387885
I'm pretty sure Braixen is a bland deviantart furry evolution of Fennekin, anon
Delphox at least looks decent with its mage robes, but Braixen is irredeemable furry garbage
>>28388585
People making porn of it for whatever doesn't ruin it, it's the fact that every time there is a good quadrupedal design they decide to make it bipedal for no reason at all, completely changing the concept and getting rid of everything I like about it. I want a giant quadrupedal stone wolf, not some humanoid-werewolf trash.
>>28389519
>people will say they are furries outside of anonymous image boards, let alone in casual conversation
The only ones that do are a major reason that furries are looked down upon.
>>28389729
Of the many surveys done, estimates for the number of furries range anywhere between 8k-65k.
XY has sold 14.98 million copies.
Hardly a visible fraction, and that's assuming that every single furry plays Pokemon, which is nearly impossible.
