Why do all the old characters look like shit? The gen 7 cast look fine, even the Oak lookalike looks good.
>>33402995
the new art director cant draw the same way the other guy did
>>33402995
to be fair, Misty always looked like shit.
>>33402995
Could this mean Brock and Misty with Mega Steelix and Mega Gyarados added in the Battle Tree in USUM?
>>33403019
>Serenafags are this mad
>>33403029
>implying
nah, just calling out shit as I see it.
>>33402995
Brock is literally the worst of all here. His face looks warped. WTF
>>33403034
You should check your mirror. There's some there.
>Misty and Brock got Megas before Ash
>>33402995
>didn't actually look closely at the art
>do now
>Misty looks kind of acceptable but holy SHIT does Brock like like ass
WHY?
>>33402995
Does Misty still care more about her bike than human life?
>>33402995
Misty looks cuter here, though.
Also, what happened to Brock becoming a doctor?
>>33403206
Nothing?
>>33403143
>Takeshi:
>Satoshi's friend, whosee goal it is to become a Pokémon Doctor.
>>33403216
Well I'm glad to see they're still keeping that, even if it amounts to absolutely nothing. When I saw the gen 1 outfit I just assumed they were going to act like sinnoh never happened or something.
>>33403235
Why the hell would they do that? You even got the director stating outright in an interview a couple months ago that the entire TV show was one continuity (and the new movie was another) just to hammer this into the heads of that one person that was still screeching about "potential retcon".
>>33403246
>the entire TV show was one continuity
How the hell do they explain ash being ten years old still? A year in the Pokemon world takes like 1500 days?
>>33403282
"It's a cartoon".
How do you explain Calvin in Calvin and Hobbes going on 10 different summer vacations while still being 6 AND always referencing what happened during the previous one during them?
>>33403169
Well they are Gym Leaders.
Does this mean they'll stop the Anti-Mega progaganda in USUM?
>>33403357
>Anti-Mega progaganda
What?
>>33403362
not even a mention to a mega evolutions since sun moon in the anime
>>33403380
They namedropped Mega Gyarados about a month ago.
Misty looks better here
>>33403362
Pokedex Entries about Megas suffering and going berserk.
>>33402995
Am I the only one that is really exited about this?
>>33403511
Yes. You're the only one in the entire world.
>>33402995
well, i prefer how they look now.
misty is fucking cute and brock still looks like a bro .
>>33403216
>"Satoshi, currently on an adventure with a dream of befriending every single pokemon"
TOP LUL
>tfw his goal is now retconned into something that doesn't entail actually winning leagues
>>33403656
To be fair, they can't really write anything about the leagues since there's no league in Alola. It feels more like them struggling to come up with SOMETHING to write that sounds more impressive than "goes to school".
>>33403685
They can easily keep claiming he wants to be a pokemon master like they have for 6 gens now. It's a shitty ambiguous goal that works for everything so why not. They can also easily say Kukui organized a league tournament in Alola (since they really don't use the same concept in the anime as in the games) and Ash can go lose that too
>>33403693
I meant in the magazine.
Misty looks fine, and as long as the ass is still good, it's cool.
>>33402995
>Why do all the old characters look like shit?
Wrong question OP, the correct one is "Why does this artstyle look like cheap garbage?"
The answer is "because it is".
Only cute version of Misty we got was from a flashback in BW.
>>33404177
SM Misty is way better than BW imho
>>33403025
THIS MUST meme CUNTO CONFURMED
>>33404177
They look like chewing gum
>>33404183
nice bait
>>33404177
BW one has dead eyes
>>33403169
And the closest thing he had to Megas was Geninja, which he released.
>>33404177
Original is still the best.
>>33403757
It will be.
>>33402995
Because SM uses a different artstyle. SM characters look fine because were designed for this art style. Others were not so you perceive it as strange because it's not what you're used to.
>>33405624
I mean, the Trial Captains looks like their game counterpart's official art, if a bit simplified. Brock, Ash and Misty have these exaggerated design changes that look pretty different from the rest of the SM cast.
Maybe the magazine just took awkward shots and art, and they look much better in motion.
>>33402995
Everything in SM looks like shit. A shame that Misty and Brock have to come back during the worst season. Hopefully they will fire the one responsible for this terrible season and style change.
>>33405710
It's literally what they did with James. Completely redesigned how his hair looks for absolutely no reason beyond "change for the sake of change". He still looks okay once you get used to it, but it's so horrendously unnecessary.
>>33405841
the ratings in japan are good why they get fired?
gen 1 pandering again, wow, idk why brock and misty would revert back to their original outfits though
>>33402995
Misty looks weird in some of the other pics I saw but she looks cute here. Not sure about Brock...
>>33405865
I thought they changed it for the Mareanie gag
>>33403019
She looks better now
>>33406006
It's possible, but they changed Jessie and Giovanni too, so I dunno.
>>33405872
>the ratings in japan are good why they get fired?
They're already back to the same level XY&Z had in its final year.
Pokemon is still on the same continuity it always was, right? So even though Brock and Misty are back in their OG clothes, these are still the same companions that traveled through several regions with him and went through their own development?
>>33406332
Yes. It's obvious as fuck anyway, and the director confirmed it in an interview last month.
>>33403169
Brock isn't anymore, his brother took the gym and he became a Pokemon doctor
