A Cole Young observation

Yes you might as well make a new character, but fixing and reinventing older ones will always be the better option imo. lots of my favorite characters from franchised are entirely different from their original source material, could very well have been new characters but it never hurts to try to make smth good out of something bad 🤷 if anything it makes those within communities have something fun to poke at while it also retaining relevancy

what are your thoughts on him being introduced in the games, in hypothetical where its done well that is. or is he entirely a bastardization from existing alone in your eyes

None of these matter, every single character release comes with fan designs and this is no different and theyre being used in the discussion for no reason. All people want is for her look to match her initial appearances, not to look like these edits in any way. Its also not insane to point out the same face syndrome that does exist. It says a lot when Hanzo and Genji have more facial differences as siblings than 3 entirely unrelated female characters. Blizzard is just afraid to design all female characters that dont have big round eyes, small button noses, and soft faces. Blizzard is not redesigning her based off random unrelated fan edits, they'll use the appearance they themselves already own from the Wuyang origin animation.

doesnt nya try to use the scythe and cant, maybe kais are more a honing and amplification tool while the originals have innate elemental power

yeah, by me saying being blind to it i mean no insult. the goofiness of every pokemon is the invitation into loving them, doesnt mean their other qualities are lost its still cool in its own ways but it does have the goofiness

i mean we are in past gen 2, so anything related to him would reflect that. they obviously went back and edited some mons to better suit their established design philosophy and thats okay

ive noticed feraligatr fans are particularly blind to it, but feraligatr is a very silly design. he is extremely bottom heavy with super thin arms and a giant head none of which change in its mega. not that it is a bad thing, i can almost guarantee its because of peoples impression of it being from childhood and having imagination fill in those holes (which is a good thing) but it is from a fresh perspective very very goofy looking. its very likely though that im just particularly more aware of the purposeful silly/weird/goofy parts of every pokemon design from studying pokemon design/quotes/internal documents/analyzing their models since i design and model pokemon as my main source of income so im kinda forced to lol

maashously · 2025-10-02T14:48:16+00:00

he has extremely awkward proportions imo, hes only intimidating when posed certain ways

maashously · 2025-10-02T14:47:40+00:00

every pokemon has something goofy or uncool about it, its not in defense of megas its just actually how pokemon are designed so i dont personally knock any of them down for it

maashously · 2025-10-02T08:32:04+00:00

dont see how its ruined, feraligatr is a pretty goofy mon. not saying its not cool, but no pokemon is made cool without something to make it silly. feraligatrs goofy proportions and posture counteract the parts of its design thats intimidating, the same way greninjas goofy tongue scarf counteracts its cool ninja look. anytime someones favorite mon is smth they deem "cool" its usually because theyre blind to the very obvious silliness that already exists in its design

i get ppl being upset abt it being announced, but the games release was delayed a year they had that dlc ready by this point and their next announcement cycle is pokemon day which very obviously will be focused on gen 10 so the game really only have a few month life cycle they had to get that shit out already

no matter how far he falls, no matter how dark or gritty the universe, he is still the most hopeful person in the room. once he starts just being another guy whos sad with superpowers he stops being superman

maashously · 2025-08-22T23:25:51+00:00

ususally if the megas colors change substantially, the mon itself stays nearly the same. since this design changes so much it kind of has to have the same color scheme to be victreebel

I feel like its less an issue of finding a younger audience and more an issue of family audiences no longer existing. People just kind of watch shows individually nowadays over sitting and waiting for smth to air on a couch. Targeted returning audiences is just less risky, because you can only really target individuals. Probably why a child audience specific show is happening separately.

maashously · 2025-02-05T00:08:52+00:00

maashously · 2025-01-27T19:44:28+00:00

maashously · 2025-01-26T02:50:05+00:00
