I noticed that a lot of people hate Alolan Raichu's design?

>>29203141
personally I hate the new ears

It looks like a pooltoy.

>>29203141
The only thing I dislike are the ears.

>>29203141
the color sceme, ears, tail. ew

>>29203166
>>29203182
Yup, these
I'm fine with it being less angry and aggressive looking but it's too round

now it just looks like a brown pikachu in some weird cosplay

it doesn't say "raichu" to me

I've never really thought about it before, but are Raichu's ears based on Eleking?

>>29203141
That stupid smile and the eyes. Why are the eye highlights yellow? That makes no sense. The eyes are blue as a throwback to that one episode of the anime but imo the color looks kind of awkward. The smile doesn't look "animal" enough. A lot of the animalish Pokemon all have curved mouths.


Can someone photoshop Alolan Raichu to change these?

>>29203141
He looks like a fag. That's it.

>>29203141
I prefere Aroran Raichu

It looks like the art of an artist I really like, but can't fap to him anymore since he only does balloon fetish now

>>29203302
And which would that be?

>>29203141
they tried way too hard to make it look cute. Bright blue eyes, chubby, ears that are similar to Pikachu's (stand straight up, almost a brown tip) rather than Raichu's, tiny almost nonexistent PINK nose

This is basically Alolan Pikachu, not Raichu

>>29203141
I dont like how it will probably overshadow whatever part of the origonal Raichu that wasnt already overshadowed by Pikachu

this one has a curved mouth and darker eyes without the weird yellow highlights. It definitely looks better this way. The pink nose kind of kills it though

>>29203141
It's okay. I just don't care for it's ears. If they were more like regular raichu I'd like it more.

I love him. Favorite Alolan Pokemon so far.

>>29203141
Looks more Fairy type than Psychic

>Raichufags do nothing but cry and cry because their bro is ignored or GF hates it, even though it receives more attention that like 90% of the dex

>get an Alolan forme

>keep playing victim, and claim it's just Alolan Pikachu

You make me wish Pikachu had gotten an exclusive mega-evo that doesn't require mega-stone and can be used with Light Ball

>>29203372

Honestly considering how forgotten Raichu has been over the years im just glad it got thrown a bone for once. I'm just hoping it isnt complete garbage and can get a little usage

>>29203482
I love Raichu just fine and resent the inferiority and victim complex fueled fanbase for it that won't shut up about how Game Freak supposedly hates them, but Alolan Raichu is just shit.

Do we know if Raichu can learn Surf now?

I like it. But I think original Raichu is a piece of shit.

>>29203141
It looks like a balloon

>>29203223

>>29203238
This, Raichu is one of my favorites but Alola Raichu kind of sucks. Also its mouth looks weird.

>>29203141

Well, I didn't even know it was a psychic type until yesterday. I thought it was fairy.

I don't like it because it basically is just a gay looking recolor. I know the recolor insult gets thrown around a lot here, but Muk looks wildly different, Sandslash and Ninetails are completely different types, and nobody has a problem with Executor because he looks wildly different. This is just a gay, retarded looking Raichu. The only signifigant difference is that it flies on its tail and gains psychic type, though its still electric.

Also, its really funny to me that Alolan raichu doesn't have levitate, that's literally its whole gimmick, is flying around.

I personally love the design. Liking all of the alolan variants so far.

Used to hate Exeggcutor but even that has grown on me

Not a sun highlight you dumb nigger, his eyes are just blue and yellow. There is only one highlight.

>>29203141
It looks like a Cocotama character, and the scythe tail that made Raichu cool got turned into a ridiculous rounded surfing board.

>>29203767
If he was a Cocotama character he would be cute, this is just shit.

It's the mouth.

Holy fug (You)'re right!

It looks like Audino and I hate Audino. Its head is too round.

>>29203981
Never noticed it, good job anon

>>29203267
This explains why I like Raichu so much

>>29204095

Not my edit, but when it was first revealed it was the one thing that stuck out to me the most. The new mouth just lacks character.

I like it, reminds me of the gen 1 sprites, since I thought it had fluffy cotton-like ears and bounced on its tail. I remember being kinda disappointed in seeing Raichu's official art.

Also I can never unsee Raichu's RB sprite as having a bobtail instead of a foot.

Y'all complain about the most stupid things sometimes I swear, eye highlights really?

The old one's better, I always thought it was cuter than pikachu too

>>29203657
>using gay as an insult

Time to stop being 12

>>29203981
First meowth now this.

artists need to remember they're drawing animal-like creatures.

>>29203141
I like it but the explanation is stupid
>le pancakes XDD

>>29204554
Go get triggered on tumblr, faggot.

>>29203981
Holy shit you're right! That looks so much better!

>>29203141
>Ears are stupid
>Everything is curved to be more child-friendly
>Stupid smile
>lol its different because it must have eaten too many fluffy pancakes ^_^

I usually like cute things but Raichu looks far better in its original form.

>>29204653
Learn to use a buzzword next time you spout one

>>29204661
Kantonese Raichu IS cuter though.

>>29204653
>the 4chin meme, everyonthing i dont like is gay xD if you arent rasist, go back to tumldit and remember WHERE YOU ARE, yeah !

but I love it

>>29204822
I know you're sarcastic but faggots like you should grow some skin.

Not me, it's better than the regular one which I think is fat and gross.

I love every part of it and want one that's huge and flat so that I can lay on it and cuddle it.

Yes homo.

>>29203141
can't get over the eyes and the sea snail shell like ears, and that shade of brown is a fucking sin

I don't mind the ears at all, the old ones aren't that strong, either desu

I think it's great in the sense that it'll actually promote Raichu instead of the constant Pikachu

>>29205169
I remember a faggot saying that was fake because it didn't say 'game footage not final'.

It doesn't at Raichu's part in the whole trailer, either.

>>29203141

/vp/ is full of angry contrarian autists who think hating everything makes them more mature and edgy.

It's like a fedora atheist on reddit who explain to you he doesn't watch Star Wars because it has mystical mumbo jumbo in it and it's "beneath his intelligence" but his favorite anime series can be compared to high literature.

>>29203141
In my case, I hate pikachu and liked raichu, but the new alolan form is just to round and cuddly.

It looks almost like most of the fairy pokémon, I dislike. It´s tp round and cute.

I liked the edgy raichu more.

>>29206271
Is raichu zapping her so she can't move while it nabs her food?

The mouth isn't colon-three. It's more accurate to a large rodent but it looks like a shit imp.

>>29203981
Nice simple edit.

Although the limbs being shorter and more rounded still triggers me.

Can someone make an edit with its limbs more like regular Raichu's?

>>29208268
But then it won't be whipped cream

Raichu's been my shouldermon since I was a 13 year old genwun babby. Any slight change to his design would trigger my autism

>>29203141

The ears are way too fat and the mouth isn't a :3 anymore.

No problem. In some regions instead of pancakes it says raichu ate lots of malasadas or Hawaiian/Portuguese doughnuts. The bread is fried so that it becomes a deep brown, but a light circle remains on the side. The classic filling is a white custard-like cream that sometimes blobs out from the hole where its been inserted. In restaurants they can be served with toppings like whipped cream, chopped nuts, or fruit slices, but it's not as common as with pancakes. I mean, they're doughnuts, you take them to go.
