all games are for kids

>Gives him horrible base stats and nothing good enough to compensate for it

Why does GF keep doing bad Pokemon on purpose? I wanted to use Hobo-cat in competitive.

Wait, they gave Meowth ANOTHER variant?

Whoa, pokemon die and become ghost. As a 30 year old, this really speaks to me...

The Diglette/Dugtrio one is actually clever and good. Look up Pele's Hair.
Cordyceps, Ghosts, and skulls are hardly exclusively adult things.

you forgot gigantakingler

I'm still upset about Vikavolt. I get they wanted to do something about the speed creep, but you don't really solve that by letting old pokemon keep their speed stat and just give new pokemon abysmal speed.

Especially when everything in the pokedex and design and typing screams speed.

>dex entry mentions how fucking fast it zips around through dense forest
>43 base speed

Absolutely retarded

meowth is basically a second mascot at this point

we longcat now

>cordyceps are hardly exclusively adult things
yeah children's media is totally ridden with parasitic fungus

It's hardly just a skull, it's the story of an orphan animal who's mother was murdered by the yakuza

Funny you didnt even mention the shinto priestess craving blood under demonic possession

blame James Turner

He made Aegislash, so he's fine.

Not a good look. Golurk and Trevenant are alright I guess

Why do so many get a mustache?

The meowth is cute
Dugtrio is goofy enough to be appealing like alolan exeggutor
Everything else is a goddamn abomination, especially golem.
>weird stubby hands
>gross beard on a reptilian face
what the fuck were they thinking

I think the idea was to force you to use agility like a speed upgrade in gradius but it’s too slow to sweep even after that and it’s other stats don’t justify it at all. Maybe if it had no guard to hit 100% zap cannons

Golurk, Trevenant, and Buzzswole are cool though.

because its an epic for the win meme

Alolan Dugtrio is fucking kino. Grow up.

why are whito piggus designing pokeymans?

Ok Zig Forums let's play a game, I'll give you 15 minutes. Open paint and design a better pokemon in that time

James Turner is based.

But this list isn't even fucking right. Sugimori made most of those. James Turner did make Golett/Golurk who is not shown here.

>James Turner is based.
you do know that he was the art director for gen 8 and that pic related is his artstyle right? it says a lot

this is how kids get their future fetishes

Alolan Golem is based on a railgun, aka a weapon that uses electromagnetism to shoot projectiles. The "beard" is just iron shavings.
It's the same reason Probopass has facial "hair" as well. Japs like quirky designs.

>Go back and play older Pokémon games
>They're still pretty good
What now?

>somehow not based even though he made birthday cake Ditto

Hello fail department?

I mean...
