Hello! We're the designs that single-handedly saved Gen 7!

>>31886459
Bugs in general were treated very well in 7, amazing designs all around for them.

Gen 7 has lots of great designs though.

I use Vikavolt alot on Battle Tree and it does pretty well for itself. Feels like people shit on it way too much.

>>31886571

What do you run?

I just went "modest with 4 attacks" and it is awfully disappointing. It can barely take a single atttack unless it's weak/resisted, and rarely can OHKO unless they are weak to electric. So it just does a good chunk of damage and loses most of the time

It literally an insect version of Gyrarados. Whats not to like?

>>31886623

Depends on my team comp but usually it's either a Timid/Agility lead set with life orb or a bulky modest choice specs set.

>>31886745

Retard alert.

>>31886588

Meanwhile, it actually sees usage in VGC because of its speed and having levitate while being an electric type.

Oh wait I forgot Mudsdale. Looks better than most Alola Forms.

>>31886659
The other guy you replied to is right, though. You exactly said what they just said, which in turn, was trying to mock you.

>>31886485
Gen 7 as the Bug Reinassance after the Golden Age of Bugs that was Gen 5?

>>31886780
>because of its speed

Because trick room?

>>31886768
But its a bug type

>>31886829
As someone who generally prefers bug types, absolutely. I love that they elected to give bug a lot of love this gen.

>>31886459
Uh... No.
Nice try though.

>>31886459
I enjoy that they gave Bug/Water some attention after having only Surskit.

Excellent designs.

Bubble spider king of the tree, jabronies.

>>31886604
only because you can consider tastelessness a taste

gen7 designs are abysmal
the monkeys would be the best imo but i don't want mine to carry a fan around or have a melon on its head

why do i have to have this? what purpose does it serve? it's not part of my pokémon

retarded gimmicks

>>31886459
agreed bubble spider really did save gen7

>>31886877
So are Shelmet, Skorupi, Anorith, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Spinarak, and Araquanid ya dunce.

>>31886931

If only it was a little better in battle. I wish it was a little bulkier or had aqua jet.

>>31886921
machamp wears a belt alakazam holds spoons theres a duck with a leek its not a new thing
we can keep pinpointing all day but that wont change a fucking thing
its a pokemon and you cant do shit about it, dont use it if you dont like it they're just giving you more thingies to choose from in your game about catching thingies

I don't think any type has been utterly neglected this gen, so I can't say for sure. I hope bug doesn't have another drought like gen 6, despite some nice crustaceans.

Have my autism, top 10 of alola.

1. Dhelmise
2. Mimikyu
3. Xurkitree
4. Golisopod
5. Toxapex
6. Minior
7. Pyukumuku
8. Buzzwole
9. Charjabug

Honorable mentions to Shiinotic, Turtonator, Type: Null, and Marshadow, all very close for runners up.

>>31887441
>I was just pretending XddDDDD1!!!!1
pls stop

>>31888917
Well yeah he was posting best, not worst.

I may honestly say that tsareena is the most unappealing pokemon in the entire series in my opinion. I can't think of any reason to like it other then being a beta waifufag. Other it and salazzle alola is near perfect.

>>31888917
>literally slutty lilligant

It's a shame because Bounsweet was cute. I was sad to see it turn into a whore

>>31888917
A great design but not exactly the same kind of great Golisopod and Araquanid are. They're cool, she's pretty. Different types.

>>31886571
It's more how fucked up it is that all the flavor/lore and the design itself implies that it's very fast.

>>31888996
Eh, it's honestly a pretty shit design in my opinion.
>"bangs" look awkward and artificial
>awkward t-rex arms
>legs are way to exaggerated to the point it looks weird
>main theme is it's queen like elegance, only sign of this in its design is a lump on its head
>constantly bitchy look
At salazzle is kind of interesting and not as overly detailed, tsareena is just a mess.

>>31886850
Yes. 43 is good for Trick Room

>>31889012
To be fair 43 speed to a pokemon might be mach speed to a human. Ninjask was said to be so fast it appears invisible to the naked eye and it has 160 speed so 43 might be pretty fast in human terms but slow in pokemon terms.

>>31887397
Too bad the evolved form looks way worse

>>31889039
That argument gets thrown out the window when you compare it to other pokemon, though
Unless we're now saying that pokemon like golem, hippowdon, and octillery are also impossibly fast relative to humans

I see the thing about the arms, and I can't say I like them, but the design would look worse with bigger arms.

Turtonator really is a great design, would be my favorite dragon type but dragalge just barely beats it. It's a cool idea and I love the silliness of the nose but how it still has a coolness to it.

>>31889216

Damn, and I have these two fuckers on my team, they look cool but work for shit, one needs fucking speed and the other is defensive but also Fire Type (and Dragon) not bad but other fuckers can do a better job than it.

I still like it and my team in that game

>Goli
>Turto
>Vika
>Bewear
>Lycan - S
>Decidueye

Maybe I dont' like Decidueye that much, nice design but I'd rather run this team with my man Sceptile, fits this "Hot blooded" team better, except for maybe Bewear but that fucker is the silent tank powerhouse.

>>31889012
Where there's that theory that the "Speed" stat in Pokemon is reaction speed. As in how fast the Pokemon can pull off a Move. That would explain why Electrode is one of the fastest Pokemon. And why Alakazam has a high Speed stat despite having a frail body. Vikavolt can fly at high speeds, but its reaction time is shit.

>>31889292
Decidueye is cool but i think it reflects its ghost type too poor'y. As a huge ghostfag I think it's a little disappointing that our first ghost starter barely has any ghsot like qualities other then its inspiration.

Still, betterthen the oricorio. Now that is a shitty ,boring ass design

>>31889323
Shit taste. Oricorio-S is the best of the 3 fake ghosts. Decidueye is the worst. A-Marowak is OK.

Decidueye,

Seriously if the writers of sun and moon don't give ash a decidueye, then I'm just going to quit the sun and moon anime all together.

>>31889012
>>31889093

Well, that kind of does explain Escavelier

That, or both Vikavolt and Escavelier naturally live in Trick Room-based environments.

>>31889379
Decidueye is a shitty ghost but at least it has a good design.

Sensu oricoris is just boring and barely reflects its ghost typing. The worst thing is I consider sensu the best oricorio too. One of the few alola pokemon I dislike.

>>31889379
Wait hold on
>Decidueye the worst ghost pokemon in sun and moon.

It's clear to me you have no taste, cuz unlike the twitty bird ghost addition. Decidueye was made to appeal to both boys and girls. Not just girls, and can I also mention at least decidueye can learn more then one ghost move. And the ancor, I frankly don't know what it supposed to appeal to. Maybe imo pirates. And are you telling that seaweed talking over a ancor is a good backstory. And if competitive, at least decidueye is faster and can take a shadow ball. For alolan Merrimack, actually I Don't quite hate this Mon it's pretty cool too. I say him and decidueye go neck to neck, but decidueye will have the slite edge cuz we were never expecting a ghost starter, especially from a pokemon like rowlet. It wins slightly by the elements of surprise.

How is this Pokemon so dumb but the design is so satisfying?

>>31887391
Cutiefly and Ribombee need more love. Just hatched a shiny one the other day, I love it.

>>31888922
Pretty good taste, here's my top 10:

1. Golisopod
2. Mimikyu
3. Xurkitree
4. Marshadow
5. Guzzlord
6. Decidueye
7. Turtonator
8. Tapu Koko
9. Araquanid
10. Wishiwashi

>>31890890
I dunno, it just works out. Especially the faint animation which is together with Buzzwole's and Honchkrow's (Battle Revolution) faint animations one of the best.

Gen 6 is the embodiment of "quality over quantity" done wrong. 75% of the new roster ended up being extremely mediocre thanks to mega evolution being the generation's main gimmick.
>>31890875

To be fair, Greninja only gets better praise as Ninjas are more liked compared to Archers. Agreed competitively though. Feels like another Zoroark situation.

I guess the wings are a bit flawed for avian standards. Whereas Grenija's body structure is nearly identical to an actual frog's.

+ Meditite, Medicham, and Darmanitan
And since he said primate, it can be stretched to include things like Jynx and Mr. Mime, too.

>>31886571
Built for trick room :^)
Meming aside, it's a wonder in trick room, fucking it over would be giving it like 55 speed. Too fast for trick room, too slow to live

>>31886544
