The problem with the final stages of the Alola starters is that

I really relate to Stunfisk. It's practically my OC.

>>32203683
The only one I take issue with is Incineroar.
Decidueye doesn't look very human to me. I also remember hearing something about a ghost archer in a forest? Hope someone can back me up on that one.
Primarina is a siren so it makes sense that it would look that way to lure trainers.
Incineroar does not have an excuse.

Treecko is cool, calm, and collected - it never panics under any situation. If a bigger foe were to glare at this Pokémon, it would glare right back without conceding an inch of ground.

>>32203683
No. I think no one likes them. In fact I think the reason starter wars exist is because the people are mad and feel betrayed by Gamefreak for giving us this mess of a starter trio. I can totally related to them. The last time I liked a starter was Swampert and then it ends up not only having the worst mega out of the three but also having a nonesensical design AND being cucked out of distribution.

>>32203683
I feel like they could have been better, they resemble humans a bit too much.

Decidueye and Primarina look like they could exist in nature though. Inceniroar is the one that looks and acts way too humanoid.

>>32203697
Basic defense behaviour.

>>32203683
>not instinct driven means they're fursonas
It's unbelievable how idiotic people can be on this site. Every day some new retard proves we can keep making dumber and dumber statements regardless of how horrible the last one was.

>>32203683
Feraligatr is my all time favorite starter, and I love all three of the Alola starters.

The problem isn't the design process. The problem is that /vp/ is a bunch of autists and falseflaggers who like to bait autists.

Stop overanalyzing things. These dumb wars don't happen anywhere else because /vp/ stagnates whenever there are no leaks or new content on the horizon.

>>32203929
>Stop overanalyzing things
But I'm INTP.

The problem with the final stages of the Alola starters is that can we please ban all Alolan starter threads because holy shit I am fed up with these, enough to not even want to see the starters or their respective fanbases in my sight

>>32203683
>People like them because they feel like they can "relate" to them

As a fan of all three of the Alola starters, I must respectfully say yes______________________________

The problem with the final stages of the Kalos starters is that they're fursonas.

They have distinguishing, human-like personality traits that transcend animal status. When I say that I want a Pokémon to be an animal, I don't mean that they shouldn't be objects (objectmons are fine) but that they should be primarily instinct-driven. Greninja, Chesnaught and Delphox have very clear human characteristics (and appearances) as opposed to this, hence why they are fursonas.

This is the root of the starter wars. People like them because they feel like they can "relate" to them and thus by defending the starter they like they are defending themselves as well.

I fucking hate it when people attribute "relatable" to something and like it because of that. I hope Game Freak goes back to making animalistic starters like Venusaur and never does something like this again.
Look mom, this argument works with this gen also!

>>32204156

But Greninja is asymetric.

>>32204156
>LOOK MOM SYMMETRY
You do realize the only starters that aren't symmetrical are Torterra and Greninja?

>>32203693
Litten draws power from its emotions, which are get boosted through negative reactions of the people around it. Makes sense it would become a Heel, and why not? Pokemon battles are really similar to the format of pro wrestling.

There are no starters wars. Decidueye and Primarina are mostly well-liked (Primarina less so on /vp/ but in other places it has a positive reception), while Incineroar is very divisive and not as popular as the other two.

Nice try, sealfucker. Approval for it only rose 5% after Primarina was revealed. It's just an incredibly loud and obnoxious minority rooting for the ugly tranny.

Everyone probably expected Pooplio to end up as shitty as it did so they weren't as vocal against it as they were with the bara bait.

Don't all Pokemon though?

It's been long established that Pokemon are sapient and far more intelligent than real life animals.

>>32204991
/vp/ loves primarina, it's just the Troll Force pretending otherwise

same cucks as the loli bashers most likely

>>32205179
there is literally nothing wrong with any of these

>>32204991
I don't know, Rowlet (and, by extension Decidueye) and Primarina get hate thread from the same anon over and over but other than that they seem to have a huge following on /vp/

>>32205209
exactly.

>>32205234

If that's actually true, then that's an inhuman level of autism, I don't think it's even possible.

That's funny considering it has the most fanart.

I guess fanart is also not very accurate at measuring popularity, or /vp/ really is a contrarian.

>>32205429
There's no way to measure the number of fan art, all three of the starters this gen get a ton

>>32205434
Pixiv, but it's still not convincing.

>>32205429
Having a lot of fanart just measures popularity among fanartists

>>32205440
Pixiv has like 5% of the total fan art, it really isn't

>>32205999

>>32205979
The hood is probably a plant on symbiosis with the owl. It can possibly grow in a kind of hood-like shape naturally

>>32205368
Seriously, the only one that even comes close to its awfulness is Incineroar.

What a pathetic generation for the starters designs.

I legitimately like corny ass wrestling shit like Lucha Libre, WWE, and Ive even gone to a local murder match in an old warehouse (I live in a pretty redneck part of the country) and I can honestly say I love Incineroar. First time I havent boxed my starter on my first playthrough since gen 4. The dudes also one of the only starters I can honestly say is a bro. Fuck Furfags ruining this monster, they can all eat an oil drum of dicks.

>>32205201
First off, there's the physical aspect. Tauros is not human-like in the slightest. The point is that they're all humanoid this time, not just one (like Blaziken kind of was).

The new Pokemon are for the most part passable or fine. I just have problems with Decidueye's noodle arm anatomy. It really does look like a human in an owl costume more and more; the feathers on the wings act more cape-like and there's no actual bone structure.

Also cannot learn Fly. The wings become nonfunctional for flying purposes. At best, it can only glide.
