Can we have a genswap thread please?
No gen-based bullying around, just fun what-ifs please
I'll start with Gen I Crabrawler

I fucking want this so bad my god
>>31596467
better than the actual Crabrawler
>>31596567
IT ACTUALLY LOOKS WAY BETTER.
There is never enough art of this. The fixed Electivire always gets posted and then someone posts an old style version of Mega Zard X, then the thread dies.
>>31596841
Make some then
>>31596563
I didn't make it. you fix it.
>>31596504

>>31596491
Those are both improvements if you ask me.
>>31596504
This blows me away every time I see it.

???
>>31596858
Stufful is a STUFFED animal retards. It even has the tag on its ass. Bewear is just a bigger plush doll
Literally the only good ones ITT are Pidgey and Blastoise from >>31596518 and >>31597406
>>31597499 is good too but it's literally Valerie
>>31596467
This thing would look retarded in Gen I, because we had no idea what a "Pokemon" was really supposed to look like. Gen 1 was a free-for-all, and this thing being the basis for a Pokemon would be disgusting.
>>31596467
>>31597406
Gen 5 and 6 are the same. Cubchoo has less shit on it than normal Teddiursa.
>>31597367
Fuck i need this in my life.
>>31597118
Holy fucking shit my sides
I need a reaction pic out of this
>>31597726
Sorry for the quality
>>31597499
Eeveelutions in general would have literally no changes save for Sylveon's eyes. They're the most consistent of all the crossgen evos.
>>31596518
I think I have a new appreciation of Gen 1 designs now. I thought they looked generic, but fucking hell, they could've been much fucking worse. Though I do think Wartortle looked better.
>>31597758
Perfect. Can you make one for Meditite too?
>>31597832
do you not have mpaint or something
>>31597367
you know this makes me think how much better some newer pokemon would look with gen 1-2's design principles
>>31597832
Here you go
>>31597934
i love you
>>31596491
>Make everything Umbreon if its not Gen I
>>31598216
Explain how the fuck does that look like Umbreon faggot.
>>31596540
They're a bit too cluttered (red eye markings and leg lines are unnecessary) but I'd definitely like the Squirtle line more if Wartortle had a single cannon added and Blastoise had fluffy parts added.
>>31597367
I like OG Hydreigon wings desu

>>31597512

>>31597588
considering this I feel that some newer mons should stay in the gens they came from
Aw shit it's that fag that replies to all the images in the thread

>>31596550
neat idea
>>31596567
hefty improvement, but normal electivire is pretty fine
>>31596858
neat, but not what I'd call "good"
>>31597302
Stop defending shit designs with "you just don't get it"
>>31597367
I love this one a LOT, and I already like real dreigon
>>31597499
still trash
>>31597588
too simple
>>31597499
Needs the collar fluff if it's supposed to be gen 1.
>>31596540
replace squirtle and wartortles with there originals
keep blastoise but remove arm wings
Red the lines cream lines on its arms and legs then its perfect
>>31597406
That's more gen 4 ain't it?
>>31596518
That Pidgey and the Kanto starters are dank as fuck
>>31596504
>genies of healthy meta still copypasting
>>31596504
Some of these are better than these that we have right now.
I like gengar and emboar line way more
>>31599149
>Stop defending shit designs with "you just don't get it"
It's hard not to when no one on this board seems to understand what a teddy bear is.
>>31599922
You do realize that's what the gengar line looked like in gen 1 right
>>31596477
FUCKING PIDGEOT
feel free to redraw
>>31599032
You say that as if the first Pokemon of the series and its evolution don't have random geometry splashed on their body that also gets completely removed on its last evolution.
>>31596504
/r/ Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and/or Sylveon with something around their neck
It always bugged me how Eevee and all of the gen 1 Eeveelutions had some sort of collar fluff, but everything afterward was a colored sleek-fur cat

Every time
>>31597231
Please no. They're so much more stylized and inorganic.
>>31601427
>Early gen pokemon drawn in a late-gen style given an obnoxiously overdesigned look
That's how a ton of late gen pokemon look though. It's either simplified shapes or cluttered as hell stuff tacked on to the simplified shapes.

thanks
yeah i'll see if i can do a gen1 nosepass
>"gen 1" versions of designs just remove all of the inessential shapes and make the whole thing ~3 colors max
Do you people not remember gen 1?
In the simplest terms, gen 1 designs stand out as being more organic, for the most part. There was detail in the art but it it wasn't through the addition of shapes and lines.

And even the basic form 'mons had a degree of detail to them, unlike many of the gen 6 and 7 designs which tend to be bobble heads

I made an attempt while the other anon was trying.
My imagination has seen better days.
>>31601859
here is gen1 nosepass. i originally did it without legs but it was too similar to geodude.
>>31601381
Wow. I never noticed how small the Gen6 lineup was.
>>31602407
It looks a bit better if you put mega evos into the mix aswell, but yeah, gen 6 and 7 didn't add many new pokes.
>>31601844
this just looks plain wrong
it's like poor snek is naked
>>31601877
That's disturbing.
>>31601877
You... you do know what a chinchilla looks like, right?
>>31601953

This works. I'm a fan of Bogleech's Lucario redesign personally.

>>31596567
>removing the wires
Congrats, you ruined it.
>>31596858
This is uncanny as fuck, awful attempt.
>>31597406
This is gen 4. Gen 6 would be fluffy.
>>31597499
Barely changed, I honestly don't see the point.
>>31597588
kek
>>31597660
Only good one in the thread desu
>>31601791
Man if anything go for the weird arm wheels. You've completely fucked up the already fucked up head.
>>31601800
Please don't bother in the future.
>>31601821
Hilarious. Barbaracle is better but I can dig it, it does its own thing.
>>31601844
>>31601877
why
>>31605078
Stick some Dialga/Palkia elements on there and you've got the Gen 4 Elemental.
>>31597772
But that's wrong.
>Gen I Eeveelutions
>Baseline is Eevee, but manipulated to different degrees (Vaporeon fairly extreme ranging to Flareon at little change) based on the elements.
>Gen II Eeveelutions
>Baseline is cats, looks basically nothing like Eevee. Much more simple designs, but weirder.
>Gen IV Eeveelutions
>Baseline is a generic mammal, they have basically the same silhouette but with different elemental features tacked on and a different coat of paint.
>>31597367
Terrible. Looks like a grumpy dragon in a sweater
>>31601235
This one is fucking rad. The mouth is kinda weird tho
>>31596504
>that whirlpede
I sometimes cry with how bad the newer generations are designed in comparison to the first three gens. Fuck you, gen 4. You screwed everything up
>>31605078
I'd train that.
All I wanted.
>"b-but it's ugly"
It's a fucking slug monster.
>>31605678
>Gen II
>well designed
what
>>31596518
Golisopod destroys your argument
>>31605678
VI > VII > V > I > III > IV > II
>>31605894
... ok but it's not a Pokemon...
>>31605984
It should've been. Goodra ruined what could've been the greatest line in all of pokemon.
>>31605940
Nah
VII > I > V > III > II > VI > IV
>>31605937
When people talk about "new Pokemon designs" they mean gen III and gen IV and the starters from the rest of the gens.
A lot of recent Pokemon are actually as detailed as gen I
>>31596467
the other day i had done a "classic" infernape. I took away all the details that made it look like something out of a gift calendar from a chinese restaurant and made it look more like an actual baboon, while at the same time trying to keep that sun-wukong feel to it. i did it in like 5 minutes or something so excuse the poor quality in the lineart and shit
>>31606021
I agree Goodra was a mistake, but what you posted doesn't look like a Pokemon.
>>31606026
>trying to keep that sun-wukong feel to it
You failed
>>31596540
People are getting desperate to show their point
HURR DURR EXTRA LINES
Look at fucking popplio and sandyghast
HURR TOO SIMPLE
There's a shitpost on both sides
Newer gens can't win
>>31606023
>A lot of recent Pokemon are actually as detailed as gen I
Yeah but here's not the problem. Gen I mons looks more realistic, while new gens mons have a more cartoonish side (though the word may be wrong).
Both can be detailled designs.
>>31606062
you are correct. because they suck :^)
>>31597367
Eyes don't work
It needs to be pseudo blind lookzing, that was the point of the line
They are blind
>>31606096
Deino and Zweilous are blind, Hydreigon isn't.
>>31606034
Fair enough, seems fine to me though.
>>31606062
But they're the same point.
Gen I have detail which makes them look believable (ie detailed feathers) but their overall designs are simple.
Gen IV Pokemon look like they're made of plastic, with no detail added to create realism. Instead it's pointless, extraneous details like lines and spikes for no reason
>>31606185
Oh no, not every single pokemon is to my own personal taste and standards. Whatever shall I do?
>>31605908
Fucking love the pointy eyes a good amount of pokemon get in Gen 1
>>31606131
The entire line is a pun on "Blind anger"
Hydriegon assumes anything that moves is a threat because of his barely new eyes still being pure black and purple
those eyes just don't fucking match
You can't just shove angry gen 1 eyes and assumes it fits
>>31606185
>Muk
>Clefable
>Realistic
>Having feathers means it's okay to have a IT LITERALLY GETS BIGGER
>>31606155
That thing is rad, way better than Goodra
>>31606304
>it's okay to have a IT LITERALLY GETS BIGGER
There was never any problem with that in the first place.
>>31606703
This
New Gen Meowth
>>31607367
such an improvement, holy shit
>>31606155
why couldn't we have that instead of this goofy looking motherfucker
>>31597588
l-lewd...
>>31605894
I too was hoping for something like this, but not this although i do like it
this seems way more at home in stuff like bloodborne
remove alot of the eyes and the legs then it will feel more at home in pokemon land
>>31607417
that's a baked as fuck meowth dude
>>31605342
your opinions are terrible and by replying to everything in the thread in one comment you ensure that everybody knows your opinions are worthless. Leave this board.
>>31605940

>>31607664
>implying you dont
>>31607377
Just add the drum things, and we will get a nice Raijin-mon.
>>31607675
6 and 7 were the worst gens in terms of design, only 4 even comes close
>>31606324
>>31607486
That one is pretty cool and definitely an acceptable design but I adore this one. The lack of legs and giant goo shell is beautiful, would shoot up to my favorites instantly.
>>31607353
Damn, quite like this. Keeos the goofy bird aspects of magby and magmar. The cannon arms are pretty cool but this is much better.
>>31607693
stop posting any time
>>31607693
>alola
>not having god tier designs
Fuck off.
>>31597813
Gen 1 designs had a world-class artist constrained by technology, so he had to get creative and make the best designs possible knowing that he couldn't go balls-to-the-wall. It truly was the perfect storm
>>31607353
I WANT TO USE YOU
>>31607762
They were lazy. Any hole in a design was filled in by "add dinosaur bits" and ideas were repeated to flesh out the dex (how many fat pink generic mammal things do you need?"
>>31607762
Sugimori's designs for gen 1 are mostly meh though. It was based Atsuko Nishida who designed most of the classics.
>>31607796
These too
>>31607346
Could totally see this being some 1990's beta art for Pokemon.
>>31607367
wtf I love Rhyperior now
>>31607417
Literally my mom's Yokai.
>>31607850
They're just monsters though. Pocket monsters.
I don't see what's so bad about well rounded and organic, yet basic designs.
>>31607881
They're literally the same concept (bipedal rhino-dinosaur thing) repeated three times
>>31607881
The point is they recycled "rhino evolves into kaiju" 3 times
>>31607850
>>31607903
>>31607905
That's an awful example considering 2 of them are purposefully similar for a gender gimmick
>>31607850
Nidorino and Nidoking are basically venomous Rhydon line, and Nidoqueen is a feminine version of that. Not THAT bad, and given Rhydon was the first pokemon to be designed it's possible another artist based Nidoking off Rhydon
>>31607944
A gimmick that's pointless now that gender differences are a thing, and we have Pokemon like Meowstic with drastic gender differences that are still considered one Pokemon
A lot of gen based bullying around here
>>31600650
Yu-gi-oh reference, muh nigga
>>31607798
>Designed the Pokemon that would help launch the series into an international sensation
>And she was cute to boot

>>31607353
Holy shit I want one. I actually like this better as a revised Magmar. Imagine what magmortar would look like if it evolved from this thing.
>>31608067
>designed great lines like the weedles line, oddish line, poliwag line, pikachu and raichu, and dratini and dragonair
>went on to only design the eeveeulutions
>>31601791
Any redesign that removes Lucario's shorts is an improvement.
>>31605894
I remember someone did a Goodra redesign that was still cute without being disgusting barney fetish fag bait.
>>31608108
That does explain the consistency and why Eeveelutions feel like they're from the same Gen.
Did she design Sylveon?

Eh....Really? Wow. The rest are great but I never liked Zoroark
>>31608174
Yes everyone.
>>31608189
Also credited for work on gen 3 but it is unknown for what.
>>31608197
I agree but that is still a impressive list.
>>31608197
How can you dislike Zoroark?
I know it's a humanoid fox but it's done well. It's not furbait or retarded lucairo shit, it's got a great colour scheme, an interesting ability and a solid design with cool kabuki hints.
>>31608108
>dratini and dragonair only of the line
no wonder Dragonite's fucked up.
>>31601953
Gen 1 was before I was born.
>>31606047
>>31606026
Agreed. You definitely failed at keeping the Sun Wukong feeling.
>>31608220
It looks over designed and everything kind of flows weird. Cluttered is the word I would use

That Bulba line is based af.
>>31605574
Its meant to look like a Zippo lighter
>>31601791
Lucario is just a shit design, you'd have to completely re synthesize the concept in a completely new form
>>31597406
I made a Teddiursa too. I don't know what Gen it'd be, but I'm posting it anyway.
>>31611047
At least Wartortle -> Blastoise makes more sense. Gamefreak really should've given Wartortle a small cannon and retained its ears and tail during evolution.
