Why does Turtonator get no love?

looks kinda stupid

Kinda fugly. Fire/Dragon is a good type and I liked Torkoal with the whole fire turtle gimmick but Turtanator is ugly even if his source creature in nature is ugly.

Single stage.
Stats were guesstimated to be around Turkoal's spread.
Shell Trap is a meme signature move and not very useful.
The design might be too garish and silly looking for some.

I like him, but like Turkoal, I don't really like-like him.

>ugly
>weird
>unfuggable

>>29306857
Stupid blocky design.

Blockemons are the worst and the newer gens keep churning them out.

What did he mean by this?
>>29306921
>It has to be fuggable to be good
Anything is fugable if you try hard enough

>It has the TOOTS
> GAMERA
I love it

It has a bit of a goofy design. That's why I love it, mind you, but it does look a little silly.

>>29306969
>Anything is fugable if you try hard enough
even fug?

>>29307005
especially fug

What on god's green earth do you consider a "blockemon" design

I swear the buzzwords you people concoct get more and more obtuse

I just hate the design.
It looks like something a 5 year old Drew and then some adult interpreted it

gamefreak hates turtles

I love it, it's cool and goofy

>>29306969
>he thinks shell trap has any competitive use

I bet you think Magic Room is viable too

Looks like shit. Looks like a child drew the outline and someone at GF had to do the best they could with that

ok
>>29307046
When did I say it was competitively viable?
>>29307053
Based on pic related, the mata mata turtle

>>29306857
Torkoal did it better.

I like him a lot

>>29306857
He's the ugliest mon from this gen. I mean look at this motherfucker's face, like what the fuck is this shit. He's as awful as Druggidon

>>29307123
Fuck off with your shit taste, the ugliest mon is Alola Golem.

>>29307075
>Based on pic related, the mata mata turtle
I don't care what it's based on, I'm saying it looks like shit. Are you giving the 'it's based on x, so you can't say it's shit!' argument?

>>29307075
There's a reason why all the turtles are garbage.

>>29307168
>Not thinking Mata Mata Turtles are fucking awesome

>>29307168
We don't care that you think it looks like shit.

>>29307026
How is that an "obtuse" concept?

It's an angular mon. Easy to design, very little thought put into its creation. Really think about it: how many Gen 1 pokemon could you describe as angular? Porygon? And he's supposed to be that way because he's a pixellated Pokémon or whatever.

When a Pokémon is just a bunch of squares put together it's a blockemon and it sucks.

>>29306857
I like it. One of my favorite designs this gen.

>>29307231
>having lots of complex angles and shapes makes a mon easier to design than if it was round
Are you retarded?

>>29307231
brain death

He's the new Torkoal

>>29307276
>complex angles

Show me a Pokémon with (((complex angles))). I'll wait.

They're designed to be drawn in seconds by impoverished Japanese animators, you dolt.

>>29306857
Because it looks stupid.

I can probably learn to love it eventually maybe, just like Torkoal.

>>29307168
It's just that you went on about it looking like something a child drew, he probably wanted to make sure you knew it was barely different from an actual mata mata turtle.

>>29306857
I fucking love this thing. If i didn't know what it was based on, I'd probably hate it.

It is based off of a Mata Mata turtle.

It also looks like it can be in the Mario/Luigi bros. Universe.. I'm quite fond of it. It's nintendo-ish

>regular mon with no evo/ pre-evo

RIP.

I like it, but I don't really like repeated primary type in my teams...

Already Litten in Sun
Prefer Salandit in Moon

>>29306857
Turtonator is the living proof that you make goofy AND cool pokemon at the same time. I love it so much, the shell that mimicks an explosion is genius

>>29307157
You are stupid (I am not that guy)

>>29306857
Because he's universally seen as ok. Not bad enough to complain about and not good enough that people feel like complaining just to be contrary.

>>29307157
>Ugliest mon, Alola Golem
no

Persian is the ugliest mon

>>29307508
Still don't follow how something with lots of angles and shapes and colors (like Turtonator) would be easier to draw than a simpler and more round design.
>(((complex angles)))
wut

>>29306857
i honestly think he's the worst pokemon I've ever seen. he has the absolute most ugly, overdesigned, nonsensical design of all time.

and I know he's based on a real animal. But all the sharp edges, the goofy face, the unnecessary tail, the odd feet, it's so terrible

it's a sun exclusive right? I wanted to use one but I already bought moon

>>29306857
He's cool but I'm using Litten and Jangmo-o lines so

Say that to my face in Alola not online see what happens

All my friends were so fucking in love with it but I hated it from day one. I'm glad it's singlestage boxfodder

how can turtonator even compete

I like it, but the silly mustache thing it has kinda ruins it for me.

>>29308067
You can always trade bro!

i love stupid looking mons

the (((word))) thing is a nazi calling type thing, it identifies jews
