Holy shit anon is onto something! Surely, surely if they have designed the 'queen of fruits' they can't miss the opportunity to design the king? Seeing as how Tsareena is an ass kicker, the king can be more laid back and weaker: they can be chess counterparts too o_o
This is what a durian looks like, notice the similar lobes of flesh like the mangosteen o_0
Inb4 ferrothorn, thats only partly based on this and same concepts haven't stopped them before.
I buy this theory

Tell me more, anon-chan. Tell me more. First theory here on /vp/ that's interesting.
>>29152179
I want!
Bounsweet could work as the base form even but it could split from there.
Also notice how Tsareena's ability is specifically 'Queenly Majesty' rather than say, royal majesty.... (checks other localizations)... yeah this is just on the English translators :L that they just called it queenly actually makes it less likely of a counterpart :(
>>29152129
The problem anon, is that we don't have any other pokemon based on fruit in this gen, so unless they pull outta nowhere a 2/3 stage pokemon based on a duran, this ain't gonna happen, you're better of asking what will be the totem counterpart to what i think is sure to say the tsareena totem
>>29152219
The theory kind of fulfils itself. That the mangosteen is commonly known as the queen of fruits and that they have integrated this into its design, means gamefreak must surely be aware there is a just as prominent 'king of fruits' in the durian which has a similar fleshy structure inside whilst having different colouring and texture.
>>29152319
We know that Lurantis is the Grass Totem though?
Another thread seems to indicate that Drampa and Turtonator are counterparts and they were released very far apart. Its not unheard of.
>>29152369
>Drampa and Turtonator are counterparts
Please show me the mental gymnastics you had to come up with to get to this conclusion.
>>29152414
not that anon, but he's saying that because someone got to take pics of a preorder case that had both of those pokemons in the back and notice they are single stage pokemon, so another anon said that they may be version exclusives, thus he believe because they may be version exclusives they may as well be totems
>>29152414
Wasn't so much gymnastics as geography:
Go look at current active thread with Milanese anon posting back cover art with turtonator and drampa on sun and moon respectively.
Likely version exclusive counterparts, cuck.
>>29152482
>all version exclusive will be totems
>alolan raticate and gumshoos are totems
>"They may as well be version exclusives!"
Fuck off, retard.

Maybe Kingly Majesty has a different effect
>>29152129
I thought we already had a durian like Pokemon with Ferothorn. So, we might be getting another one? Maybe an evo for it?
>tfw Eviolite Ferothorn
>>29152513
Nice twisting of my words asshole
i also think it's a huge stretch, but at least it would make for some interesting fights

>Turtonator activates his trap
>>29152624
Queenly majesty isn't localized in all region specifically as queenly it seems, (anyone speak french that can verify this? All other languages do seem to be feminine in nature still however) that does hurt this theory a little desu, though its original name in Japanese is 'Queen's majesty too.
>>29152721
Royal Presence in french and spanish.
>>29152668
Like fuck this would ever happen ever stop talking shit.
>>29152755
Are they specifically feminine gendered though anon?
>>29152795
Nope. Neutral.
>>29152795
Regia is feminine for of Regio, but Presencia is already a feminine word, so Regia was used.
>>29152813
>>29152850
In spanish, they are neutral, sorry for the french mess up.
>>29152850
Thank you :)
>>29152813
And thank you :(
So most but not all localized forms do in effect indicate specifically feminine. This leaves clear room for a counterpart still :D
>>29152871
Ah :( s'okay anon
>>29152924
Further explanation, in spanish almost every word is either male or female, but that does not determine where it's used.
In Regia Presencia both words are female, but anyone can have Regia Presencia, because it's not tied to the subject's gender.
>>29152998
I see :) good to know. I haven't studied Spanish in a good 9 years :(
The important part though is that it is the original Japanese which also includes 'Queen' in its name. Kingly presence could become royal majesty or something instead of royal presence in the languages that don't use queen.
>>29152200
Fuck yourselfwith a durian.
OP here,
I am not all an artist but here is a rough mock up of what a potential 'Tsarian' could look like. I really fucked the crown up xompletely and I can't draw spikes so yeah. Also hes supposed to be wearing one long durian leaf as a cape.
Another stab at his head. Man I am so into this now o_0
Looks like gamefaqs had the same idea. This has so got to be a thing, come on Gamefreak!!!
Tsareena is kick based, what if a counterpart is Punch based?
>>29154234
>gamefaqs
>>29152129
>another Steel/Grass
I dig
Well, Steenie does gain a tomboy like personality. Maybe it could go either way depending on gender.
>>29155263
>it's made of steel
>covered on spikes
>pure grass
Fuck you gf
>>29155775
I wouldn't put it past Gamefreak XD
The thing is durians are also renowned for their horrible smell which could work for a Grass/Poison type. It would be a bit a bit of a *trop* kick in the teeth if Tsareena's counterpart was dual typed but not her. Then again Grass/Steel and Grass/Poison are both arguably better suited for a defensive pokemon in terms of resistances etc. Grass/Fighting is more of a glass cannon typing (though Tsareena looks to be precisely one of these) that has a fairly hefty trade off for Fighting type STAB: additional weaknesses to Fairy and Psychic and a x4 weakness to Flying can be a very bad time but resisting Rock and Dark in return for becoming neutral to Bug is reasonably decent.

Waz rong wit gaymfags?
>>29156888
You should know by now that if it's not /vp/ it's shit, even if it isn't it still is shit and gay for us
>>29157739
Well I did call it gaymfags...
>>29155476
>>29155476
I always KNEW Tsareena was the Gardevoir and Steenie was so fucking Kirlia-3.0 it fucking hurtsToo bad Kirlia 2.0 bombed miserably. Just like another Gen5 black-colored rehash furbait...
>>29158110
Tbh that is a possiblity but kirlia only retroactively became the bridge to Gallade. In this case, they wouldn't need to that and can branch from Bounsweet if they wish, OR have a totally parallel line.
>>29157949
Just stop.
THE KING HAS ARRIVED
