What does /vp/ think of the Tapus from a purely aesthetic viewpoint (aka what do you think about their designs)?
>>
>>29953195
Lele > Fini > Koko > Bulu
>>
I want to fuck Lele and Fini.
>>
i think they're better designs than most or maybe all of the other legendary trios and comparable legendaries.
>>
All except Bullu are 10/10, which is a shame cause bullu will probably be the only one I use.
>>
>>29953224
This. They need more porn.
>>
Tapu koko and Lele are great. Fini and bulu don't appeal to me as much. Their totem forms look more like a door unlike unlike koko and Lele.
>>
I like all of them actually, favourites being Dolphin and Bull. Lightningdude is the worst imo

>>29953195
If Fini is kuudere, Lele is genki, Bulu is tsundere, what's Koko?
>>
>>29953195
Design, is it?

Overall, their design is quite well done. They have that tribal-like feeling to them, what with the markings and the wooden (maybe) totem.
Unlike most legendaries, which feels like they can exist anywhere regardless of region, the Tapus look like they belong to Alola. That they can claim Alola as theirs. Which in turns make their existence more "Alolan legends" than just "a legend".

Now, if we're talking one by one, that'd be:
>Koko = Fini
The former gives that "cool guy" vibe and the latter the "mature lady".
>Lele
The "genki girl".
>Bulu
The "macho man", which unfortunately is not a favorite character archetype of mine.
>>
Top Bull = Top Jar = Top Kek = Top Fish
>>
>>29953360
I'm sorry I haven't slept in some time. I meant their totem forms joins somewhere. Think like it's a door, or a puppet's mouth. Koko and Lele don't have that problem.

This. They're some of my favorite legendary designs and group by far. I really enjoy that these are our equivalent of "tiki-inspired" pokemon. Because they seem much more interesting than just animated tikis by being nature spirits with animal shells.

Its funny that people look down on Bulu allot, when Bulu is allot more versatile and splashable than Fini and Koko.
>>
Koko is one of the worst looking Pokemon in the entire franchise, it'd probably take that title if Cryogonal didn't exist.
The others are fine thankfully
>>
>>29953972
Koko seems like the most versatile, although I wouldn't say best. It has U-turn, Volt Switch and Roost on top of high speed so it can do cool things. I don't think it'll compare to the power of Bulu Wood Hammer or how ridiculous Lele is overall.

>>29953195
Lele and Fini look good. Bulu's shell on his horns looks wrong. If they were like shields on his arms he'd look great, but alas. I hate Koko's guts.
>>
>>29953195
Koko > Fini > Lele > Bulu, but I actually love all of them. Everyone's complaining that they'll be the next genies, but I welcome that. The genies were ugly as fuck, these tiki fellas are cool.
>>
>>29954067
Do we even know what they look like?
>>
>>29954046
Garish color scheme
Ugly mohawk and snibbity snab hands
White tattoo things looked cluttered on him, somehow the others don't have this problem
Lack of a personality overall, Bulu is 'tough', Lele is 'cute', Fini is 'pretty', Koko is what, ""cool""? He looks like a fucking dork
>>
Why is lele so fucking fat?
>>
I don't care for any of them, then.

I only like Bulu because he's the only actually righteous Tapu according to his lore.

>>29953584

>>
>>29954223
I don't see how Koko is in any way Garish, the colour is rather mellow actually. As for the Mohawk and hands, how else would they make him look like a rooster's head when closed? Personally I think it's rather clever what they did there. I don't see how Koko is cluttered with the white markings, they don't really interrupt the flow of the design. Also Koko is a hothead.
Now this is just my opinion as is your opinion yours and I thank you for giving an actual answer.
>>
>>29953195
I don't like that bulu and koko share a similar color scheme.

Other than that, it's pretty gud.

I personally love Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini, and I'll most likely use the former. I could see the aesthetic appeal of the others, my wife loves and will probably use Tapu Bulu.

Lele was never a designed to look like a Nautilus. The Nautilus inspiration was nothing but fan speculation if anything. Under Lele's shell is clearly a tail that portrays the proboscis of a butterfly.

You're being daft, anon. Lele poking out of her shell with her hair resembles a nautilus. This is pretty obvious. Nobody is disputing that the totem looks like a butterflies head. I said that in my post.
>>
>>29956797
But Lele only has curly hair because butterflies have curly antennae. They were never intended to be based on tentacles. It was never a Nautilus in the first place.

That was in a falsified leak, which I do not know whether but I suspect was simply someone theorising for the sake of creativity that got carried away out of context (also potentially mistaking "totem" → "totem pole"); it's funny (irritating), as I could have sworn I'd saved that image, but I cannot find it, not even with a Google search anymore.

Fini is beautiful and a really cool design. I like merfolk and sirens a lot though.

Lele is adorable. I want to pay its head and give it a cookie.

Koko is kind of cool, very unique, but sort of ugly. It works for me, though.

Bulu is awkward, ugly, and boring. Hate that the colors are just Koko's colors and it looks nothing like a Grass type.

I'm really quite pleased with their appearance. We saw Tapu Koko first and it was aight. Then they revealed the others and it was nice to see the designs of the other 3 were better imo. It was a nice surprise.

I'm slightly disappointed though that they don't stack together to make a totem pole... Little let down, but whatever.
>>
>>29953233
Same.
I'm not super keen on Lele, but Bulu is pretty ugly. I get what it's meant to convey, I just don't like the look of it.

But I'm gonna be running a Grass-centric team in VGC next year, so I guess I have to use it.
