It's the tail. It just looks really, really bad to me in-game and in the Sugimori art.

Treecko I like. Grovyle's design I LOVE. Sceptile...ugh. The damn tail just throws the whole thing off.

why does every pokemon announcement have to be followed with everyone talking about what designs they do and don't like as if it has ever or will ever matter in any meaningful capacity

Which new starter is your favorite, Bleck? :3

I'm interested to see what their final forms look like, but I'll probably go with Froakie because I've always taken the water-type.

Fennekin for life.

Now you know how I feel whenever someone starts a Final Fantasy "discussion".

"No, I don't fucking care that you liked Final Fantasy VII just an iota more than Final Fanatasy V and thought _insert number here_ was the 'death' of the series."

not exactly

final fantasy designs are important to the games themselves. how the pokemon are drawn has absolutely no bearing on how pokemon plays. they could all be 5 pixels and the game would play the same

Yeah, one of my favorites is Cradily, I still have the one I hatched from my Sapphire game back in 2004. "Oh, but it's ugly" everyone said... then after a year, online sim stats showed a sharp increase in Cradly use once people started figuring out that it's stats, movepool and ability let it soak up damage and recover easily, walling most mixed attackers until it could wear them down. Yes, eventually, counters were found and used, but that's not the point; people hated it based upon looks, and ended up using it based upon stats.

Cradily is OP. Nerf Now.

I STILL say that Fennekin is going to be Fire/Psychic. And besides, even if it's another frakking Fire/Fighting type, it CAN'T be worse than Emboar...can it?
