No, they've always been that way. Also, how is decidueye furbait? I don't like it but it's clearly just an owl with a coat.

>>31401583
"Humanoid" designs are more marketable these days. They appeal more audiences than people who just want animals with a different coat of paint. I really love this generation's starters though. Not because they're humanoid, but they feel very different when compared(smart/calm,tough/fierce,cute/elegant) whereas all the Gen 1 starters just try to look badass and nothing else.
>>31401840
This, i love them.
>>31401881
disgusting
Blaziken has the best design of all pokémon
>>31401881
Take Venusaur and make it switch spots with Primarina and it's perfect
>>31401583
chesnaught still looks like a monster the shiny is way better
but yeah the rest of gen 6 and 7 is shit
>>31401881
I'd send Incineroar down to shit-tier, move Servine up to great tier (though I hate using him), Empoleon up to high tier, Blaziken down to low tier... wait, is this for their design or how useful they are?

>>31401975
Zard was b8
Typhlosion was b8
Blaziken was b8
Infernape was close to b8
Serperior by being a snake became b8
Delphox b8
Primarina n Incineroar both b8
There's always been b8 m8e

I don't see what's wrong with Typhlosion being that low.

Your argument immediately falls apart. People really just want badass animals.

They didn't start looking humanoid/excessively anthropomorphic until infernape/empoleon in gen 4. In gen 6/7 they went even further by basing them on actual humanoid archetypes before you start gen 1 false flagging. An archer, a mermaid, a wrestler, a warrior, a mage, a ninja, are clearly humanoid. Blastoise is just a turtle. Charizard is just a dragon

>>31401599

Blastoist was just a bipedal turtle with canons on its back
Charizard was just a dragon
I still don't know what Vensaur is
Typhlosion is a hunched over badger with flames on its back
Ferligator is just a bipedal Alligator
Meginum is a flower Dinosaur
No they weren't a fucking type of wrestler, archer or mermaid singer with predetermined personalities like RPG characters. They were poket monsters
Go fuck yourself
>>31403824
Wrong.
>>31401583
not even starters. almost all of gen 6 is waifu bait shit
hence why I'll never get it or any games after
you're completely right though, OP and I'm not sure why people are denying it

Your point is?

You're missing out then. Maybe not gen 6 but SM are great.
Gen 7 has great designs mostly. Yeah you have garbage like brionne and tsareena but there is so many good ones it barely matters.

>Primarina being red
Not humanoid, can't be described as a guy in a suit. If you have an idea for a mermaid design that isn't somehow pandering to porn artists I'd love to see it.
>>31401583
I'd say they're still making them as good as they always have. The two best looking starters, Zard and Ninjafrog, are 5 generations apart.
>>31405167
How are the gen 4 starters not green? They're the most boring starters in the entire series.
>People still having starter wars
All starters stink, there, I said it.They're all cool, honestly. But of all starters' fanbase, Primarina's fanbase feels like the kind of people I shouldn't be talking to, otherwise, the design is only moderately okay and don't have any qualms against it.
>>31405496
Why Primarina's fanbase of all of them? I mean c'mon have you seen Decidueye threads both here and on the Smogon forums? Charizard? Greninja?
>>31405459
All of them except maybe Infernape have just the right amount of change and gets bigger.
>>31403901
>Yeah you have garbage like brionne
Brionnne is the most adorable middle stage starter. Get some taste.
>Froakie had jack and shit to do with being a ninja/rogue and the tongue scarf comes out of nowhere
Frogadier looked pretty rogue-like. That's what literally everyone saw it as before Greninja was revealed.
And a frog having a long tongue isn't "out of nowhere".
>>Primarina being red
Furfag pandering.
>>31405564
>Decidueye thread
every time I come in here, they're non-existent though, I see more frequently Primarina and Incineroar threads as far as the eye can see, although you could blame time zones for that
And I personally don't have anything in particular against Primarina fans, just that some (not all of them) are kind of
frivolous to me at least and pushy
But yeah, besides that, I'm kind of apathetic honestly
>>31405605
>Froakie had jack and shit to do with being a ninja/rogue
It was always a ninja/rogue. Its foam covers it's face like the thieves in japan do.
>>31405564

I don't know, Primarina fags usually care much more about defending their starter, not saying it's the best or shitposting about others so i really don't have a problem with them.
>>31401583
I remember when Gen 1 had the generic SUPER COOL BADASS starter to attract a cancerous fanbase that would be pandered to so hard it is now treated as more powerful than legendaries. So if that's better, sure? I also remember a ferret that someone set on fire and a bipedal chicken.
>>31405854
Still beats cartoony humans in fursuits that are the gen 6 and 7 starters
>>31405710
It's a side effect of the large amounts of hatred Primarina takes, especially in the early stages of the leaks
I see this with Incineroarfags too
With Owlfags not so much, you usually just had people apologizing for the assholes/falseflaggers
>people still unironically believe GF panders to furries
You can't be serious, that makes no sense from a commercial or artistic point of view given this is a children's franchise, and those are GF's only points of view.
>>31403824my nigga
>>31405644
The most I see from sealfags is that they want to fuck ii. Otherwise I don't see them shitting on others much, even if that's partially because they are constantly on the defensive.
>>31405854
There's nothing wrong with cool monsters, that's the whole foundation the franchise is based on. The pandering has nothing to with the starters too, so I don't even know why you brought that up
>>31405870
You have some sort of problem if you really see humans in fursuits there, their proportions and structure are not like that at all. Incineroar is made to be a cartoony villain so his upper body and hand are much bigger than the rest of his body. And there's also nothing wrong with cartoony pokemon, that's also part of the foundation the franchise is based on.
And please, as if GF honestly panders to furries
>>31405870
Yeah, this definitely doesn't look like a human in a fursuit!
>>31405901
Incineroar, Delphox and Blaziken are pretty much humanoids with animal heads, and don't even try to justify Incineroar's awful proportions, pretty sure IRL heels are not proportion freaks and it just looks terrible when comparing it side by side with other similar pokémon that have actual anatomy and not magical rubber limbs
>>31405921
Did you miss the part about being cartoony y villainous? And they don't look like humans with animal heads. You yourself just mentioned how incineroar looks nothing like a person, and the other two have too much of an odd body shape to look human too. Just because it's bipedal doesn't mean it's human.
>>31405081
Switch Typhlosion and Torterra and I'm willing to forgive you.
>>31405928
You can be villanous without looking like a weird rubber toy. The problem is that Pokémon by itself is cartoony, Incineroar is more cartoony than the average, so it clashes with similar designs like Machamp, and looks absolutely terrible
>>31405884
This. Rather than furfag pandering, it's more like:
Incineroar - Homage to the wrestler Tiger Mask, which is popular in Japan and Masuda seems to like him too(judging by his twitter).I admit it did feel a bit furbait-y when I saw that wink in refresh.
Primarina: Pretty much catered to appeal to little girls, not surprising from marketing point of view. Even in official videos, it's only ever shown with the female trainer.
Decidueye- A cool rogeuish archer archetype, probably to capitalize on a few aspects that made greninja popular. I'm kind of unsure on this one though.

>>31406128
They could have at least let Blaziken keep the chicken legs.
>>31403710
It didn't really "start". The anthro starters just gradually increased until we got this mess. Also, Empoleon looks like a penguin. There's nothing humanoid about it.
>>31405081

Are you retarded?
Do you even know the definition of internet rule #34?
"If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions"
Every single starter from every generation has porn of it. Even the ones where you wish there wasn't porn of , there is porn of it.
People have been drawing porn of the starters since gen-fucking-1.
The only reasons you may see more porn of one over another, is because:
One has existed longer than the other.
Some have designs more aesthetically pleasing in general. (doesn't matter how humanoid it is or not, it just has to "look good", which includes your view of "cool")
>But they draw them with human features to make it furry porn
Fuck off. There is also countless porn of all of them completely on-model. There could be no furries on the entire planet and you would still find porn of all of them.
But what's even more pathetic is that you actually let all the porn bother you. Grow the hell up. if you don't like soemthing, ignore it like a normal human being. Shit only bothers you as much as you let it.
Come back when you're actually old enough to post on this board, and your balls have dropped.
