Has there ever been a fakemon like ballio? what i mean is, has

>>28910325
No, delete your thread.

>>28910325
>do you think by this time next year, people will still remember ballio?
Outside of /vp/? Definitely not.
On /vp/? Maybe the 5 or 6 people who post in Pinnister threads

>>28910325

There have been many that have been far more notable. Ballio isn't even close to the top, and I suspect that it'll be forgotten within a month after the games come out.

>>28910344
People still remember Sadfish, not sure if thats the same thing

>>28910362
any examples?

>>28910374
oh i totally forgot about sadfish! that guy was cool, i miss him.

Good point. I'd say there's a bit of a difference since Sadfish was "leaked" in CoroCoro while ballio/pinnister was just a run of the mill leak with decent art.

plus most newfags and anyone who doesn't frequent /vp/ wouldn't recognize sadfish so there's that

luchalitten, robinroot, poppmaid

>>28910591
I kinda wish it was real just because it'd be hilarious.

get a load of this one
>those hands

Ballio's popularity is due to
>being a genuinely nice fake evo that doesn't just get bigger
>initial Roothoot treatment (people acting like it was real)
>denialfags/people who dislike poppmaid who herald it as "what Popplio should have been"

Lanturn is real cute but I do wonder what I'd be like if it's eyes also were weird plus things.

>>28910789
oh, I agree, lanturn is a top tier comfymon, but chinchou's design is cool as fuck

I want to see a rendition of lanturn with those eyes

I dont remember how it got retconned exactly. Is it replaced by Bassculine?

>>28910994
basically yeah

>>28911006
Oh wow. I dont even browse /vp/ or follow any pokemon related news Gen 3 onwards. That was purely a random guess.

>>28910994
For Gen V there were some eyewitness leaks describing an "unhappy fish", among others. Sadfish is probably based on that description. The real unhappy fish turned out to be Basculin.

I say probably because my memory could be off.

>>28910594

You see a lot more Ballio around. Tentaquil basically died a year ago as a meme and nobody noticed.

>not posting the full version

Perhaps Mewthree although that's more of a concept rather than a single design, I dunno maybe some really simple Fakemon or a Starter/Legendary

Oh wow I actually remember that one.

I like that balliofags are so afraid of finally becoming completely irrelevant that they will spam the catalog with new threads whenever the old one dies.

No-one will care about or even remember you after nov 18

HA! so true

>>28910667
I thought people liked it because that is authentically a creepy design for a Pokemon game and it would be totally different from any starter ever.

>>28910379
Sadfish, Tentaquil and the sylver Furret thing.

Maybe one day ;-; They did Sableye, maybe we will get Mothman as a pokemon some day.

>>28912953

Well, yeah, mostly that.

That and before the D.I artist came, people were presuming he'd be a gentle pokemon despite its appearance and when the artist came to confirm Pinnister as fake, he posted a flavor kind of pokedex entry text of him which had

>More good willed and playful than its looks suggest, Pinnister has amazing upper body strength and is able to support itself on land with ease. It has mastered many acrobatic stunts and with the large water balloon it has tethered itself to, it can chain a flurry of attacks that gives off a great performance of tricks.

>More good willed and playful than its looks suggest

which pretty much confirmed many people's suspicions of him being a nice pokemon, he just so happens to have a threatening look to him and also had the luck of scaring people away who are frightened of anything clown related

>>28910325
Honestly I think is only one guy that really likes balio posting way too many times

Nobody outside of /vp/ cares for it tbqh

>>28910686
>Was the first to have a fake in-game shot
>Also had accurate art
>Looks great

Never again will I let a leak break my heart

>>28911324
And Ballio will die in a few months.

I still remember acorn duck and sadfish.

Gen 5 Japan time was one hell of a drug
