What happened to Pokémon?

I HATE MONDAYS

>>33150561
Instead of copying more real life animals or objects, originality actually hit them.

Every Pokemon game after 3rd gen went to shit.

Too far asshole.

HOW DID THEY GET AWAY?

>>33150561
It proves that Genwun designs age like milk. You cannot improve turds into something appealing.

>>33150565
The owl and the tiger are pretty cool.

>>33150570
From hardboiled kid explorers to trendy hipsters.

Think the biggest issue is they dropped that cool oilpainted pastel art style in favor of generic anime.

Huh?

>>33150576
Gen IV went too far. V came back to curve and then VI and VII went off a cliff

>>33150577
No, they are fucking shit.

>>33150582
Well, thanks for sharing your opinion.

>>33150561
Gamefreak lost all their sense of design. The people who designed the original pokemon may still be there, but they've clearly developed senility, as evidenced by majorityl of the mega evolutions and majority of the alolah forms.

>>33150579
The current pokemon have issues that are far worst than the artstyle. I'm not even talking about the creature designs, I mean the actual games.

>>33150565
Why did you use extremely low quality and outdated art for the Alola Starters? Primarina and Decidueye look way worse than they should.

Hell naw
The designs went to shit after the franchise finally made the jump to 3d
They fucked up the looks of old pokemon and use basic ass designs for new ones so they aren't a pain to model in-game

>>33150563
>>33150575
>having stripes, spikes, and fifty colours is a better design philosophy than the charming simplicity of Gens 1 & 2
Underage get out.

>>33150581
Gen IV was better than V in literally every way, and the designs are no exception to this (barring Lucario and Palkia).

>>33150584

So with the tremendous success of Pokemon GO and Sun and Moon underperforming, it's safe to assume the upcoming pokemon game on the Nintendo Switch will be Kanto again right?

>>33150593
The upcoming Switch Pokémon RPG being a semi-Colosseum-like semi-open world game set in Kanto would be pretty great.

>>33150594
Suprisingly they're starting to make more money again despite that fuck up

>>33150594

>Implying GO failed

Did you miss 2016? Even if the game had 0 current players starting right now it would still have made a billion dollars and been a gigantic success.

I actually like Aloan Persian. Golem and the rest of it's line look like fucking shit in Aloan mode

>>33150595
I get what they were trying to do here, but it just comes off as lazy thanks to every other mistake they've implemented with these games. Like doing nothing more than making vulpix white.

Persfield >>>>> Kanto Persian

Only a faggot would disagree. The only gen with noticably worse designs than gen 1 is gen 2, and that's because gen 2 was made in a rush and was mostly just designs that were rejected for gen 1 but were hastily fished out of the trash when they realized they needed a sequel.

>>33150610
But gen 3 starters were better than gen 2.

This. /vp/'s response to the last 2 gens alone proves that the support for NuPokemon is hemmorhaging. There's little defenders for the travesty that our series became. It's dead Jon.

Oh, I almost forgot that genwunners are the worst.
Thanks for the reminder OP.

>>33150633
Oh, I almost forgot that nex-genners are the worst.
Thanks for the reminder anon.

I-I liked SuMo.

>>33150634
Case in point

There are people who weren't even alive when gen 1 came out and they think they get to have an opinion on Pokemon.

>>33150635
So did I, anon.
Wanna cuddle?

>>33150637
That's nex-genners in a nutshell. A bunch of Generation Z idiots sucking all the fun out of bantering against the new age cancer that is leeching from our childhoods.

I actually like Alolan Persian's design more than original Persian

Persian was always missing the charm that Meowth had

>>33150605
Definitely. Some Alolan forms look stupid. All Megas look fucking retarded.

Hi, Anons. The last Pokemon game I owned was Silver. I emulated one of the later gens that uses wifi and found that I was disappointed I could not take part in the multiplayer stuff, even the weird mini-game type things like the underground tunnels.

Which games have fun multiplayer aspects, both with regards to pokemon trading/battle and also the weird minigame stuff?

>>33150687
>forced out of their /v/ safespace
Wait, did something happen on /v/? Did the mods finally ban all pokemon discussion /mlp/ style?

If only they'd known they were going to be the last good set of starters.

Gen 4 starters suck, but their final evolutions are all great, second only to Gen 1.

After that it was just rapidly downhill.
