What went right?

>In other words its difficult for you to draw.
Actually this is one of pokemon's core design philosophies. At least early on, when they were designing mons the design team was given the direct instruction of "if it's too difficult for a kid to draw, then it's no good". That may have changed now, but back then it was smart to have designs even a child could design since they are, you know, the core audience.

Same could be said for most of these Pokemon baring the legends and UBs. A lot of Gen 7 Pokemon use much simpler shapes while still retaining unique silhouettes. This dude was pretty clearly trying to go for something a little more complex and intimidating though.

Normal/Fighting isn't incredible typing (it's basically just a Fighting weakness in exchange for Ghost immunity), but halving damage from all contact moves in exchange for weakness to Fire is pretty damn good, and Normal-types tend to have good movepools.

Please put those goalposts down, friend.
It is cartoony. It has anime eyes, just like Pidgey. It's every bit as cartoony as Octillery, but you're willing to forgive Pidgey and Octillery because they come from gens you're expected to like, though I doubt you grew up with them. If Pikipek3 were a genwun Pokemon you'd be reflexively praising them.
>>
>>29365612
well magnezone turned into a ufo just cause not that there's anything wrong with that, turned out fine

the mininoses are at least a progression of the magnet theme instead of bigger stubs. i would also bring up that when seen from above they represent the cardinal directions, but you've probably read that one a thousand times here.

a shame it has no signature move for them though especially after seeing how awesome the noses were in generations. maybe it and alolan golem can share

I still have my GBC Pikachu Edition. There's a difference between liking something and being a fanboy.
I've enjoyed all gens till 5 (Enjoyed some more than others), But Gen 6 and 7 are fucking terrible, not admitting to it is being a shiteating, fartsmelling, pissdrinking apologizer.

It also makes sense that these gens suck, considering nintendo made a turn for the worse halfway through the wii's success.

I love when anons are blind and can't see simple design motifs even a child could pick out.

By the way, they have the ability Sniper and Remoraid's Japanese name contains a word for "Gun". Also "Octopus Artillery" and in Japan "Octopus Tank".
>>
>>29365644
Why can't people understand that just because other Pokemon have lazy designs (and I wouldn't count Octillery as an example) doesn't mean it's fine for GF to just draw a toucan and call it a Pokemon
>>
>>29365821
There's also the fact that Remoraid's back fins are clearly shaped like the grip and hammer of a revolver.
>>
>>29364626
It is a logical and satisfying progression.

A cool little wimp that becomes a threat upon evolving makes sense and is rewarding.

Really, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ash catch a Wimpod in the ashime and train this thing up.

And it's nice that your big brother (dad?) was gracious enough to give them to you.

But if you were really old enough to have played Yellow on release, let alone Red and Blue, you'd know that gen 6 and almost certain 7 are objectively better than gen 4 and 5. The fact that you so fervently hump the /vp/ bandwagon shows that you fall into the same demographic as the majority of its posters– that is to say, children who grew up gen 4 or 5 and only played the originals after the fact, if at all.

Gen 4 was a disaster from a gameplay standpoint, and gen 5 was so caught up in trying to fix that trainwreck that it didn't actually manage to make any major advancements. We've only just gotten to the point where Pokemon is moving forward again, after two generations of stagnation, and Sinnohfoeti are terrified at being removed from their comfort zone. "This isn't what Pokemon is about!" They lack the perspective to know how things have changed before, to put things like Mega Evolution and Fairy type into context. For them, Hold Items, Abilities and Dark Type always existed, so the franchise has always been what they knew.

I know this is a scary time for you, I think every kid goes through a "not muh Pokemon" phase. Most of us hit that age during gen 3. I just hope you're around to enjoy the series once you grow up a little.

Wimpod is definitely more of a wharf roach than anything. Its appearance definitely takes aspects of a horseshoe crab and trilobite, but the fact that it's skittish, scavenges, and collects garbage leans more toward wharf roach.

The evolution is definitely adding on to this, but it's really just a big scary marine arthropod in general, probably nothing EXACTLY specific.

The /vp/ bandwagon loves gen 4.
Out of the first five, it is my least favorite, and even then it is miles better than Gen 6.

Really, they should've waited and mixed gen VI and VII since the beginning, gen VII looks to be what VI was supposed to be.

Ten years after the release of pokemon, only 3 gens were introduced.
Ten years later, 4 gens were made.

This only shows how much they're rushing shit.

Actually Kalos was one of the best regions to date, in concept and design. The designs, like Alola, were mostly good and received net positive feedback from /vp/.
>>
>>29365993
Can't it be a sand flea AND a wharf roach? Or just a marine arthropod in general?
Not all Pokemon designs are pinpointed.

And what do you mean, "consider my input"? You just did. Are you the boss of me?
>>
>>29366344
I'm not considering any of that because it's still not putting forth a better match. And no, I'm not saying it can't draw on multiple origins, however in this case it's very clear that Wimpod2 strongly resembles a sand flea more than it does any general arthropod or isopod, including wharf roaches. Wharf roaches bear a very casual resemblance, whereas it's plain to see that a sand flea has the same arms as Wimpod2 ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE, something not every general <x>pod has.

So again, let's hear it. I'll wait.

Fight me, turtonator has a great design. Wimpod2 is better but turtonator is cool.

Kalos was bland as fuck. The pokémon in it were usually cool, but the region itself was just stupid.

> I don't think there's even a rare pokemon in the game.
Off the top of my head:
> have to backtrack after you get surf if you want to catch surskit
> dedenne is just so incredibly easy to miss
> slugma is only found by rock smashing on the desert route
> clauncher/skrelp requires you to backtrack after getting the good rod (seriously, this is beyond stupid)
> some mons are just numerically hard to find, like goomy or kangaskhan
I mean, when you have four hundred things to catch, it all blurs together. But there are plenty of 'mons that you're unlikely to catch on your first playthrough.

I don't see the appeal, mang. It's visually noisy, pokey and rough, and it has a weird face. Its shell blocks off half its body, so you can't easily tell which parts of it connect where. It almost makes my eyes hurt if I look at its shell.

It's a Gyarados for a new age. It looks badass and has a humble origin, so it's an underdog-turned-monster. What's not to like? It even has all the theorymoning behind it being Genesect's ancestor. It's awesome.
>>
>>29366968
It has plenty of overexaggerated body parts like its giant forearms. That's part of what makes it cool.

Its shell looks like a simple explosion symbol with some jagged rocks sticking out, as does the head. You can very easily tell what goes where if you actually look at the thing, so I don't really get that complaint, but people like different things, so I guess its whatever.
>>
I like the evolution, but I need to know what it looks like from behind. Is the top shell just ending at the shoulders? Does it have a tail we're not seeing? I NEED PICTURES OF WIMPODMAN, PARKER!

I don't think I've ever encountered a Bagon in X, even when I was trying to find one.

Kalos had some fairly uncommon Pokemon in many different places. The cliffside route, the ice cave, the cave with Kangaskhan, and the tiny patch of grass with Tauros & Miltank comes to mind.

Its appeals to underage retards. The anatomy of this pokemon is beyond retarded, there is no way an athropod would naturally evolve this body plan, nor would something like me capable of moving wiith this body plan either.

It looks like a digimon/yugioh monster. I feel it would be better if it kept Wimpod's eyes rather that those tryhard edgy ones.
>>
>>29373909
The eyes are fine. Its SUPPOSTED to look try hard edgy because its no longer a pussy. Wimpod's eye change showcases a drastic personality shift.
>>
>>29374113
I would rather have it having a permanent smug arrogant look to it. Cowardice to arrogance works better in my opinion that cowardice to edginess. A bored or heroic look is fine too.

I just think it kinda a waste for Wimpod's personality for it to evolve into a rather generic edge mon. It could have a lot more potential.

What were you even expecting from a pokemon designed to have a fearful personality to the point that it will just give up very easily? An edgelord approach would be a consistent progression and wouldn't seem as forced. And I normally hate edgy pokemon but its obvious Wimpod was clearly designed to be a high risk, high reward mon with its evolution looking formidable enough to make opponents wimp out instead. And this was a common expectation people had for it.

There is no problem with looking like a digimon, unless it is one of those digimons that has literal guns and missiles, literal humans in armor, or a creature from alien vs predator.

Also, yugioh creatures changed a lot since the earlier days.Nowadays, a lot of them look like pic related.

Bug is a pretty good type. It only has 3 weaknesses. Game Frick just suck at Pokemon design and give most bug types shitty stats or an awful secondary typing.
Bug/Steel or Bug/Water are very competitive typings.
