Thoughts on Oddish?

its cute

>>32641234
I like Bellsprout more, but the Oddish line does have Bellossom so it's a close call

>>32641236
I'm in the same boat but I like Vileplume over Bellossom.

No one ever complains about it.

I mean, you ever hear someone go "Oddish again? What the fuck?"

It's the quintessential grass type. No one remembers its poison type though.

I want to pull on one to hear it scream.

>>32641234
Vileplume is cuter.

>>32641234
Always thought it was pretty sexy

>>32641234
I wonder what Oddish tastes like.

>>32641235
fpbp

I wish more pure plant types existed so bugs are not so shitty

>>32641242
Like an odd radish.

odd-ish

>>32641238
Weren't all the grass pokemon in Gen 1 also poison? Aside from exeggcute/exeggutor.

>>32641247
tangela

>>32641247
Tangela and Paras weren't part poison either.

DUDE

I was oddly obsessed with oddish as a kid, I had a whole team of them

Not trying to start le genwunner war here but why do the old Pokemon look so much more realistic while newer ones look like plastic toys?

I'm not talking about the designs, I'm talking about the art style

>>32641248
>>32641249
Ah gotcha. Was there ever a reason why the Ghastly line was also poison? I felt like they were afraid of pure types in Gen 1.

>>32641234
Paras/Parasect are way cooler.

>>32641252
They went on another art direction...

>>32641253
Not that I know of. Maybe they though ghost would be too powerful without the part poison weighing them down.

That's kind of odd

>>32641256

Making them part-poison is what made psychic too powerful.

>>32641254
Too bad their typing fucks them over.

>>32641255
Yeah and it's shit. Old pokemon actually had shading that made them look sorta like real animals. The new ones look like plastic toys.

>>32641252
Various changes in artstyle tend to reflect the advancement of technology that accompany each generation. Gen III is the first notable shift since the GBA had much brighter colors.

>>32641257
New Pokemon designs are a lot 'rounder' in general. A lot of them look like vinyl toys.

Thoughts on lotad?

>>32641266
Why does it turn into a pineapple?

>>32641266
Maybe because I got it at the rate age, but I love almost every design in Gen 3. I found them so cool, before it went way off the rails.

>>32641261
Spore is still OP.

>>32641268
This. Ruby was my favorite Pokemon game and I've played every single gen.

>>32641268
I skipped from gen 2 to gen 4 and a lot of my favorites still ended up being from gen 3 after the fact. It has a lot of solid designs.

>>32641264
Fuck off

bretty good, but I like seedot line more.

>that feel when you got into Pokemon at the beginning and don't outright hate any new or old designs, and feel as though each gen adds something new that you'd like to train.

>>32641238
In my youth it was considered a dumb pokemon. kids would come up and say I'll trade you 10 oddishes for x rare card. As for the thread I'd imagine they'd be a fucking pest the spray out various powder and spread like a weed. Imagine mowing your yard and running over hundreds of oddish and hoppips screaming and exploding into various status effect powders. What a annoying pokemon.

>>32641266
This isn't about Lotad but Gen 3 in general, did anyone else have a lot of "wait a second these were in Gen 2?" when playing Gen 3? I played Gold and Crystal but Slugma and Swinub specifically I was like "wait these were introduced in Gen 2? I don't remember them at all". But they had a much bigger presence in 3.

>>32641276
Skarmory is the biggest example of that to me. For years I thought it was a Gen 3 mon.

>>32641274
I wish I felt like that but each new gen I feel is getting more and more ridiculous. Pokémon used to look like believable animals, aside from a few wacky designs. Now everything looks like a digimon. And I'm not a genwunner; gens 3 and 4 are my favorites. But gens 6 and 7 have been awful imo

>>32641262
Not arguing with that, gotta love the old art

>>32641276
Both slugma and swinub were fairly rare finds in gen 2, if I'm remembering correctly. Only encountered in one or two areas at a fairly low rate.

Gen 3 is the only gen where I can respect all the designs. Don't really have any favourites from it but none of the designs are bad.

>>32641276
I always thought that skarmory, slugma and corsola were gen 3.

>>32641262
Yeah I miss the old art. It'd be amazing if they did anniversary book and had all 821 Pokémon drawn in the original style.Along with a few background of towns trainers and shit.

>>32641276
>>32641280
It also didn't help that Slugma was a kanto only mon that could only be found in one area and that you never saw another trainer use one.

>>32641253
>Was there ever a reason why the Ghastly line was also poison?
ghastly looks like a flying ball of poison gas and they didn't want to have something that lost a type as it evolved

>>32641277
Right Skarmory too, I thought they were Gen 3 as well. Nope 2. It's weird I remember playing 1 and 3 very clearly but 2 even though I played a lot of it, is a lot hazier.

>>32641277
Same
Pineco too, I never knew it fucking existed until way after Gen 2

>>32641234
Oddish is my favorite pokemon of all time. I've felt this way ever since I was a child and I just haven't found a pokemon yet that could take its place

From a pure aesthetic stand point what is your favorite pokemon? For me it's Dexoys. I don't know why, but it just pushes all my 'tism buttons perfectly and I just love everything about the design. Great theme, too. Second would be Shedinja.

>>32641275
Imagine mowing your yard and running over hundreds of oddish and hoppips screaming and exploding into various status effect powders
This is fucking terrifying and probably why tall grass is everywhere

My mothers favourite pokemon

>>32641286
It had a five percent spawn rate in a single area. And it didn't even exist in the gold version.

talking about pokemon on /v/ is so much less autistic that doing it on /vp/ gotdamn

>>32641289
if it had its attack form head and regular form body then it would be perfect

>>32641284
Same with Houndour iirc.
They made the mistake of only introducing these when you get to Kanto and at that point your team is probably already complete and you don't have any need for them.

>>32641284
And in a grass patch on Cycling Road of all places. I never got the gen2/3 'mon confusion myself(Beckett Pokemon Collector published a full Johto dex around launch), but I can see why so many people thought these species originated in 3.

Slugma's placement kinda creeped me out as a kid.

Machinedramon was a supposed to be a cold and artificial monster devoid of anything that makes the monsters worth caring for other than pure battling. He was the v-pet without any of the necessary tender love and care you put into them. The point was to give Analogman a monster that reflects who he is and how he treats the digital monsters.

On the other hand, digital monsters, even the cute ones, were originally supposed to be truly "monstrous" and vicious.
Overtly dark themes like cybernetic reanimation reviving a battle damaged monster, the implication that battles could have such serious effects on your monsters, and from a design perspective the use of jagged edges, harsh black shadows, defined musculature, popping veins, wrinkly skin, gnarly fangs, etc. Even Agumon looks pretty monstrous, in the original art.
Pocket monsters were always designed to be more soft and huggable even in the later stages of evolution. Some of them looked cool, some of them looked cute, the old art style had a slight edge over the newer one but they were always supposed to be pretty cuddly. So a Pokemon like Machinedramon wouldn't make sense.

>>32641234
Vileplume for some reason is my favorite pokemon and I really don't know why. Oddish is kawaii af family

Got Oddish in a roll in another thread, so I'll post it here.

Good old Oddium Wanderus. Unsurprisingly, its design is rather basic as a first stage pokemon in a three stage line. A cutie whose simplistic design works to its favor, its appeal is an exemplar of and can be compared to that of other round, monocolor grass type first form pokemon with small eyes in Hoppip, Cherubi, and Bounsweet. Oddish feels like it has its own identity compared to these by being based on a weed, a more commonplace and simplistic plant. It also has an evolutionary progression similar to Poliwag, but lacks a bit more detail to work with down the line compared to Poliwag's stomach spiral, tadpole tail, and more expressive eyes and mouth.

The biggest thing I would change design-wise would be to give it some semblance of being a seedling or sprout. Every evolution of this pokemon has flowers involved, yet I see no evidence of this in Oddish. It doesn't even look like the kind of weed that flowers, which would have had a stem or bud by the point of becoming as developed as Oddish's weed looks. Maybe hide a smaller bud than Gloom's in its foliage. Another possibility would be making the bud look like a hat that pushes the foliage down to Oddish like bangs, while not obstructing Oddish's face or below.

Also, as it is, I'd get rid of the poison type as Oddish, since nothing about it really says "poison" to me. Mudkip gets Mud Slap by level up, but it's not water/ground yet, and I feel the same thing works here. Otherwise, he's fine, especially in the context of simpler Gen 1 pokemon.

>>32641234
Dirt clod.

>>32641264
Ape Escape 4 never

Valued member of my gen 1 team. I evolved it to Vileplume and taught it stun spore, Acid, Body Slam, and Mega Drain made it very dependable.

I don't respect you AT ALL and I hope you live all your most pleasing moments in your life remembering that someone somewhere is considering you a pile of shit who doesn't deserve to have good things. At least as long as Gen III is considered by you as a bee's knees material.
