This guy right here. I just don't get the appeal, he's ugly as sin.
Overrated piece of shit
gyarados isn't exactly supposed to be beautiful.
it's a Chinese dragon crossed with the creature from the black lagoon
>>32936043
A giant water serpent isn't supposed to be pretty retard.
>>32936049
I agree with this.
>>32936043
You take that back motherfucker.
It just looks fucking stupid.
>>32936105
Seconded here.
There's absolutely no balance in this design. Chicken feet for hands? Who did this?
obligatory
>>32936131
No one but smogon likes this piece of shit
>>32936043
agreed. it's an asshole as well.
just like the dumb jolt rat aka worst starter ever, that takes no thunder stone and can't even be released. what a trashmon.
This piece of edgy shit
>>32936043
It's just a fucking moth
If a bug type is going to be 'cool', it should be based off of a cool bug like Scizor and Heracross are
>>32936188
agreed
>>32936105
delet this
>>32936062
>>32936069
And he doesn't look cool either.
>>32936105
Hoenn starters look pretty stupid.
>>32936219
Shit taste, Swampert is best
What's the appeal of this
>>32936149
this. Though Pikachu is more loved by casuals and the online fanbase somewhat despises it
>>32936202
>I was born in 2002 and I think of pokemon as generic anime creatures
>>32936219
Sceptile looks good. The others can fuck off
>>32936284
He doesn't look good in any medium. Anime, comic book, movies, tv, nord mythology. Just looks like a goofy serpent/dragon drawn by a 5yo
>>32936105
I don't like the trend it set
>>32936188
Speaking of Heracross, I never got the appeal
>>32936249
Oh wow. This
>>32936188
shit taste detected
>>32936188
>Not liking giant sun moth of doom
Its difficult to make a moth feel "cool" anyway, but it was executed pretty well.
>>32936043
What the fuck nigger, Gyarados is like a quintessential Pokémon. If you want a bad looking serpentine Pokémon, look no further than Rayquaza, with its segmented body, weird inorganic-looking teeth, and painted-on body patterns and eyes that overall make it look more like it was designed to be a toy than a creature.
>>32936188
>>32936202
>all monsters have to be cool xd
Go back to >>>/d/igimon with your seven hundred mechadragons
>>32936188
Volcarona is supposed to be elegant, not cool.
I don't care that it's the best pick and wipes the floor with 90% of Sinnoh.
It's ugly and it's pre-evo looks way better. Same for >>32936105. Yes, le funnee peepee joke chicken looks better than this.
Besides, Gen 4 Empoleon was crazy with all of its resistances and Torterra was just a solid pick overall. They were all good. Chimchar and Infernape just got necked with their designs.
>>32937006
Infernape is a very hit or miss Pokemon. Yo either love him or hate him. I personally really like its design and how it's based it off sun wukong, and I think it pulls it of perfectly.plus he's really fun to use big game and in compbut I can see why you wouldn't like him.
Hated this guy from the moment I saw him, worst starter evo line ever. Worse than Tepig.
At least Chespin looks good in its first stage..
>>32936249
heracrossfag here. It's presence in many regions and its high stats and dual 120bp stabs make it a top tier bro in any game it's in. The design is also great, taking inspiration from japanese beetle fighting.
I don't like Gengar either, but I can see why it's popular. But I can never see the appeal of Haunter. It's ugly as sin and isn't all that great in battles.
Haunterfags, please tell me why this thing is loved by so many people.
>>32936188
now this is bait because volc is like the closest they got to a perfect mon
>design executed extremely well
>strong in battle but has many counters
>unique without feeling special snowflakey
>mothra
no one
It and Petilil are the only Unovamon I don't like. Convince me to like them, without any waifushit.
>>32937419
Contrarian scum detected.
>>32937560
After You.
>>32936105
This. If Blaziken wasn't the first fire/fighting and humanoid starter, it probably would've gotten more hate now.
>>32936610
Since when was this thing popular?
Aerodactyl
>>32937419
Agree 100% Blaziken is pretty close though.
>>32936303
Yes it does and you are wrong. Also a faggot.
>>32936149
Agree.fucking retarded rabbit.
>>32936284
I'm a realismfag and don't like gyarados either.
>>32937419
It would be flawless if its tongue was inside its mouth.
>>32937419
You didn't have to do the tepig line like that
>>32936249
>>32936219
>>32936874
Im gettin upset
>>32936249
fixed
>>32939328
BAD TOUCH
>>32937537
the only people that like haunter are pretentious contrarians that think liking haunter and disliking gengar makes them cool
>>32936043
>>32936149
>>32936185
>>32936188
>>32936219
these are overrated, yeah
adding in heliolisk because its derpy as hell and the animal its based on is also shit and derpy as hell
>>32937537
>>32939364
haunter was my bro in gens 1-3 because i liked ghost and poison types but didnt have friends to trade with. gengar in comparison is also kinda underwhelming (not in gsc though) since its a ball with arms with a lame cry. i dont really mind gengar, i just like haunter better.
This fucking thing. Looks plastic and ugly as hell
>>32936049
This
>>32939431
at least origin form makes up for the altered form nightmare
>>32936043
Gamefreak Exec: Okay, the scope of Gen 3 was the biggest so far, threatening a great deluge or scorching drought that would destroy the ecosystem. What's bigger in scope than land and sea?
Other GF Exec.: What about time and space?
Gamefreak Executive: Sounds good, let's-
That kid whose dad works at Nintendo: GOD'S BIGGER THAN ALL OF THAT! LET'S MAKE GOD! HE CAN BE ALL OF THE TYPES AND HAS THIS SUPER COOL SUPER POWERFUL MOVE THAT DESTROYS EVERYTHING LIKE "BLOOOOOSH!" HE'S STRONG IN EVERY WAY AND IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING AND ALL THE OTHER LEGENDARIES ANSWER TO HIM. OH AND I ALWAYS WANTED A LLAMA OR GOAT POKEMON, SO LET'S MAKE GOD THAT!
Gamefreak Executive.: It's a good thing today was bring your kid to work day. Great idea, son. Let's get to work.
(1 generation later)
GameFreak, designing the next legendaries: Fuck.
Arceus' biggest problem is the kind of expectations it betrays. The creator of the pokemon universe, maybe even multiverse, can be captured by a 10 year old kid and will obey without question if they have 8 little trinkets. It also let them run around with items capable of containing them. It also just created the universe and does basically nothing else, only intervening in cases where they run out of legendaries in the Hoopa movie. Hell, Giratina, who's banished, intervenes in Gen 4 before Arceus does, so that role is already filled. Arceus is a powerhouse among legendaries and certainly can lay a smackdown on cover legendaries, but for, you know, GOD, it's kinda underwhelming. Rampardos and Slaking are
more physically strong than God, Swellow and Electrode are speedier, etc.
Also, I just beat God with a Magikarp thanks to Baton Pass. There's a sentence nobody's going to mind. Arceus fans, please elaborate... It was number 2 behind Greninja in the popularity poll in Japan, so I know it counts as popular.
This smug edgelord fuck
>>32939783
Apart from arguably Giratina and Cresselia, I don't really like ANY of Sinnoh's legendaries. Most of them are just kind of designed in that "what the fuck am I actually looking at" way, there's way too many mythicals, the lake trio look pretty much the same and it took me years to figure out which was Uxie and which was Mesprit, Manaphy looks like ass, Phione is the most pointless mon of all, and Shaymin was pointless.
Also don't like Blaziken at all, looks really weird. I think Infernape, Emboar, and Incineroar all look way better. Blaziken is probably my least favourite evolved starter mon in the entire franchise.
While I don't dislike Gyarados, Nuzlocking games make you really sick of it. Sick of nearly every villain using one, sick of you being guaranteed to have one if you choose, what's the point of having this "hard work "allegory mon if Magikarp is obtainable literally everywhere?
>>32936043
>>32939783
the "popularity poll" was fucked, they advertised that the winner would be distributed via event, and everyone wanted arceus. Very few people actually like it, but that doesn't mean they didn't want one.
>>32936176
anon. he said that everyone loves
there is a singular weavile fag whos been reworking every reaction image into weavile.
he's been dead for a while but really not that many people enjoy it
