Why does it seem like fan made Megas and Alolan forms are significantly better than what we got?
>inb4 "you just hate Megas and Alolan forms"
No, I think they could have been fucking amazing all around, but a lot of them turned out like shit. Alolan Persian is plain retarded. Imagine it having more of like a cheetah body, with a large rib cage and sleeker head. Anything would have been better than what we got.

Because the fans are adults making designs that appeal to adults.
The Pokémon Company on the other hand make the designs for children, so having silly designs makes total sense.
Plus Alolan Persian's design is based on the backstory for its type change. git gud.

Here's a example of what happens to a pampered deformed pet after its masters are gone(if they don't go extinct,that is).Babylonia 2000-1600 BCE

As you can see,even lore was ignored.They just wanted to make a retard looking Persian.

Or the actual evolution of Meowth.

In the same region as Alolan Raichu gaining Psychic powers because "DUDE PANCAKES LMAO?" Not a chance.

Get fucked. Alola Persian's great. Looks more like Meowth's evo than normal Presian-

How about you post some so we can tell you your taste is shit.

Mega evolutions could have been so much more. Instead of handing them out to solid pokemon like tyranitar, garchomp, salamence, etc. (ones who didn't need one) they could've been given to shitmons or pokemon who weren't quite good enough at their niche.
I could give fuck all about alolan forms/gen 7 though.

Actually that doesn't look half bad.
reminder A-Persian is not fat, but has extremely thick fur
>>33130099
Looks good actually, but not much better than what we got.
>>33130107
Can't say I approve of this one though. Dwebble and Crustle are already hermit crabs. This just looks more boring than the regular ones.

Fanmade Megas and Alola forms are generally for Pokemon that need help some kind of help, or are often neglected or ignored by GF.
GF mostly took popular mons or mons that were already good and gave them Megas. This is why we got two Mega Charizards and two Mega Mewtwos, Mega Garchomp, Mega Metagross, and of course Mega Fug, etc. of course there are exceptions to that, like Glalie and Audino which from what I can tell were neither particularly good nor popular.
They didn't use exclusively good/popular Pokemon for Alola forms which was probably a good move, but limiting themselves to Kanto Pokemon, and not making any major changes stat-wise was probably not the best choice.
Both ideas were just poorly executed by GF, whereas fanmade stuff is being made from the fan's perspective and thus has a better insight to what fans want to see out of Megas or Regional forms.

In case anybody is confused to the breed he's talking about I think I found it

You can't say this and not post any example of what you consider better than original designs.
There are many good fanmade megas but there's plenty of complete garbage ones.
>>33130099
Please, you guys would complain all day every day if this was an official design, it would become the new ice cream/trash shitposting.

Considering how many people want Mega Flygon to be Bug-type, that isn't always a good thing
Because is japan, just look fakemon by japanese people

Oh fuck you, I'd be ecstatic for a non-Kanto Alolan form.

this is /vp/, /vp/ complains about anything and everything, whether it's good or not
