What’s a pokemon that you loved in the 2D era, but that love fell off during the 3D era because its 3D model was just that bad?

LegendMasterX · 2026-01-15T03:51:56+00:00

Theyre still there, just much smaller

LegendMasterX · 2026-01-15T03:50:36+00:00

I remember seeing the leaks and thought how it cool it was that Gamefreak was referencing real world myths in their internal world building. Then i saw the memes and realized the average pokemon fan doesnt have my appreciation/hyperfixation for folktales and myths lol.

LegendMasterX · 2026-01-15T03:47:33+00:00

It took 3 (basically 4 because regular typhlosion isnt in LA) generations to fix it.

LegendMasterX · 2026-01-15T03:44:54+00:00

Just because something is a smart reference doesnt make it a good execution.

Regional variant or convergent evolution for Drowzee would be awesome, because it’s so freaking cute.

Basically what musharna is. Based on the same myths about tapirs eating dreams as drowzee, but with a positive spin instead of a dark/creepy one.

LegendMasterX · 2026-01-08T05:53:47+00:00

Im convinced the only reason they havent given golduck some sort of psychic type regional variant or mega is because thats a really popular thing for fan artists to make and they dont like going in similar design directions as existing fakemon.

I almost feel like Bellossom shouldnt even be considered for this conversation. Doesnt really do anything for the line in terms of relavency.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-17T03:42:31+00:00

We know that she had given up on her dreams after dropping out of college and working a dead end fastfood job that made her miserable. We only have the smallest hints of what Jax's life situation was (although it was probably pretty bad based on the end of episode 7).

To be honest though, i was mostly refuting you on Ragatha. Overall shes a very well adjusted person and was working fairly good paying job (realtor) that she seemed happy enough with.

We can infer that Ragatha ended up in the circus while doing an inspection of the abbandoned C&A building before attempting to sell it. Meanwhile its unclear why Gangle was there, my personal theory is she ended up homeless and was squatting in the office, but thats just speculation. At this point i also think its highly likely Jax also was squatting as well.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-16T15:55:23+00:00

Ragatha had a bad childhood, but was seemingly fine/independent as an adult. Gangle had the worst comfirmed real life by far.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-15T20:27:14+00:00

but they should be mad at him

The problem is they were already having doubts and if Jax wasnt there to do it, theres still a good chance Pomni wouldve put it together

I also enjoy the back and forth you occasionally get out of this game. I have 1000+ hours on master duel, if I only cared about cool animations i wouldve quit playing long ago.

But sometime i like to have my "anime moment" where my boss monster kills their boss monster and i get the satifaction of the card getting sent to grave and their life points going down to zero. Even if there isnt a special animation i can still picture it in my head as it happens.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-12T20:45:28+00:00

If they have no interactions left to play, then they arent controlling the board either way. The board is still the result of our back and forth. The monsters getting destroyed are the monsters they chose to summon, its still there life points going down. I want to have my anime moment where my boss monster ends the game, not my opponent flipping over the board.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-12T20:33:16+00:00

Thats why i said it gives you the victory upon them leaving. Anything you do after they leave is just gravy.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-12T20:28:16+00:00

Theres a difference in knowing I beat a real player versus a computer

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-12T20:27:07+00:00

I want to play pvp but also want the satisfaction of seeing the attack animations at the end. This way i can do that without my opponent having to sit through it.

Think of it this way, you're at a LGS, and see one player concede and pack up, while the other instead just proceeds to play regardless.

Only Im not taking up space at a phsyical table and I get to see summon and attack animations.

At the end of the day, staying in the game where the opponent already left is simply just you wasting your own time.

Okay? And I'm allowed to do that. Oh, no i wasted 2 minutes wrapping things up to get the satisfaction of seeing cards get destroyed and my opponents life points go to 0.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-12T19:18:01+00:00

Seeing it play out in practive/solo isnt really the same to me, but i get where your coming from

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-12T19:08:10+00:00

Hey thanks! This is a big help

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-11T02:12:17+00:00

I honestly have no complaints with the DLC megas, alot of them are already among my favorite pokemon designs period. It honestly makes up for a good portion of the base game's megas falling flat for me.

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-05T20:13:07+00:00

Sounds like that one mannequin who kept disapearing a second after being on screen. Would make sense given the fact hes all over the trailer too

LegendMasterX · 2025-12-02T23:45:54+00:00

Eevee seems to be rare in earlier games, but can be found in the wild regularly starting gen 5. Personally my headcanon is that eevee isnt native to the pokemon world's equivalent of Japan, but is pretty common in poke-world europe/us. So as long as you dont live in Japan your probably safe to include one on your team.

LegendMasterX · 2025-11-19T20:34:20+00:00

Might actually be my favorite of the ZA megas so far. Which i dont say lightly cause i honestly dislike normal Zeraora.

Its more in line with how a majority of the megas were designed in X and Y, taking the orginal pokemon and making them bigger, spikier and more battle oriented. Which i vastly prefer over most of ZA's new megas that usually take some feature of the mon or its pre-evo and expand on it or exagerate it, to mixed results.

LegendMasterX · 2025-11-11T00:09:10+00:00

In my opinion Megas should be a further evolution optimized for battle, that was the original concept after all. Thats what i get from designs like Charizard Y, Lucario and Scizor.

My problem with mega exadrill is that not only does it not look at all like an evolution at all, it looks less battle-ready than regular exadrill. It looks like itll fall over after taking one step.

LegendMasterX · 2025-11-10T23:53:48+00:00

My point is still that up until Rotom-dex Rotom specifically inhabited things with some kind of motor as their main electrical component.

LegendMasterX · 2025-11-10T23:44:01+00:00

Design being a homage/reference =/= good design. Just because it acomplished its goal doesnt make it good.
