Toxapex looks great, he just needed a chunkier core and he would've been perfect

>>31788749
Toxapex looks cooler and more intimidating while still retaining some cuteness. Shit taste.

Dartrix is alright though.

>>31788795
it's just so fucking random

like how do you go from a boxing crab to a fucking four legged yeti

>>31788807
>>31788815
It's a reference to the yeti crab, which look freaky as fuck.

>>31788871
Yeah but even still, if they're going to do that at least make the first form hint at it

>>31788888
It's Pokedex entry actually foreshadowed it when it was revealed.

Also I honestly really like Crabominable but I do have to agree the transition is huge. It would have done some favors both design wise and from a single player perspective if the line had a mid-evo. Plus then you'd get a middle ground between the two.

>>31789134
but that'd mean that Cravominable might be good which GF seemed intent on making sure that would not happen.

>>31788749
Why does Mareanie look like an old woman?

>>31789085
That's probably the worst taste I've ever seen

Primarina is a god tier design, what is the Brionne is better than Primarina bullshit I'm seeing

Crobats buck teeth are pretty damn impractical for a vampire bat

>>31789134
>>31789145
>>31789290
While I agree that the jump from Crabrawler to Crabominable is pretty big, however I think the whole concept of trying to get to the top and getting lost and combining that with a species of crab is pretty cool. Also for a yeti crab, Crabominables design fits very well.

>>31790671
Yeah the concept is incredible.

I'm just saying they could have blended it together more neatly with a mid-evo.

>>31790635
Lol, please enlighten me how Crabominable could have been designed better, considering its a mashup of a crab and a yeti. Yetis are called abominable snowmen for a reason.

>>31790713
Remove hillbilly aspect. Some anon did a redesign that did and it looked amazing while still preserving the crab and the yeti

But not for sucking blood, which is what Golbat actually feeds on. All I'm saying is that Crobats teeth don't make sense considering his diet.

>>31790754
No, it wasn't that. I wish I could find it.

>>31790723
>>31790754
That one is just a white fuzzball, i would agree, that ones quite shit compared to Crabominable

>>31790761
Everyone always points to this as a reason crobat is ugly, but its design in every game that matters (2D and 3D mainline games) looks normal, it just has a mouth full of teeth like Gengar, not hideous rotting buckteeth like in Colosseum and PBR

Every starter in the past 3 gens except Oshawott

One stage lower, waifufag-kun.

>>31790776
Thats how its teeth look, it just doesn't open its mouth in mainline to reveal them (not even in amie/refresh). They even were depicted in official anime reference art if I remember correctly.

>>31790799
I like how the hooded jacket, blackened eyes, and nose strip evokes a boxer, but it doesn't scream "yeti crab" to me. Still, better than what we got, I guess.

Fuck you, Croconaw is garbage.

>>31790799
this is good

proportions are still way off, but the design is great

>>31790869
Still just a coconut crab in a hoodie, and not a yeti crab. How are fucking up the concept this much?

Whenever people argue that Gen 1 is the best I stop them in their tracks by showing them how poor Growlithe got ruined by evolving into something you'd want to put out of its misery.

>>31790890
Agreed. While not perfect (>>31790857 >>31790853 >>31790869) it IS a fantastic design.

We need some more good redesigns in here.

>>31790914
this sounds very subjective. i love arcanine a lot more than growlithe

>>31790869
>>31790890
>>31790919
i'm the one who posted hoodie redesign here

i'm starting to actually dislike this one's face after getting so used to crabominable's. my idea of fixing crabominable's face would be replacing the dumb hair with the pompadour bending down, giving it the black eye back and instead of buckteeth giving it regular teeth with a missing tooth or two

>>31790945
It is a subjective opinion, however, yours is too.

charjabug and vikavolt were literally revealed at the same time
