New Pokemon Sun and Moon Trailer (shows the leaked Pokémon)
- Thread starter Chase17

This, I thought the same thing after watching the trailer.
This, it's intentional "pretend" ugly, it is supposed to look ugly in the context of pokemon, but it's not even ugly ugly.
Think of how pugs are ugly and cute at the same time.

Or its just ugly. The fish it's based on is also ugly.
Its pretty much just another Feebas. It will probably look beautiful when it evolves.
By the way im getting sick of these games having pikachu clones. We have enough rats/gerbils.
But sonichu just redeemed their existence...

I'm not talking about the people that are acknowledging that Bruxish is ugly, because it's just designed to be that way, because of the animal it's based on. I'm referring to the people that actually say it's a poorly or lazily designed Pokemon, simply because it's ugly.
If there exists a pokemon Gamefreak regrets ever creating is Raichu, they dont want to repeat that same mistake so the pikaclones never evolve
In Pokemon terms, poor/lazy design means "I don't like it" without having to explain their reasoning.

Haha, I wonder when we're gonna get Mega Pikachu...

Somehow everyone is a fucking design critic when it comes to Pokemon they don't like. I just don't get why people don't just say, "I don't like that one". Instead they have to wrangle up a bunch of qualifiers to justify their hate. Weird

Hahaha, I know. For lack of a better term I just say 3rd version. With Black 2 and Alpha Sapphire I bred perfect babies in the previous version and then traded them over within the same generation right away to go on the entire adventure with my favs.
But because you have your dream team and egg moves, the game is just as easy as ever. Doesn't bother me too much though because Pokemon games are never hard anymore ever outside of the battle tower type places.
So right. Bug busses are everywhere these day, everyone knows that cat airplanes are the new creative thing. Get with the time, GameFreak.

In other words, they look like Pokemon.

What animal is Magnemite again?

That green rectangle is my favorite Pokémon now. I will love him always and forever.
You can have your weird simple pokemon, but I expected more of a balance. They all seem to delve into the realm of abstract creatures.

Literally just seen all the new Pokemon lol. 18 to catch up on!
Like:
Rowlet
Yungoos
Vikavolt
Drampa
Tapu Koko
Solgaleo
Lunala
Dislike the rest. Charjabug and Cutiefly are hilariously uninspired.

What in the world is an abstract creature?
Dude you do know there's around 8.7 million of animal species in this planet right? Just because you don't know what a variety of a pacific fish looks like doesn't mean it's not an animal.

Nearly every pokemon from this gen so far have been based on animals.

wait. it's it dragon grampa? Drampa?

I don't see how Vikavolt is anything but a beetle, Togedemaru is clearly a hedgehog, cutiefly is a bee fly, and Bruxish is very clearly a trigger fish (State fish of Hawaii)
I never saw a koala bears so they can't be real.
Actually only common zoo animals, farm animals, and some types of household pets are real.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
I hope cutiefly evolves into a hummingbird moth. It's so cute. Easily my favorite.

Wait Charjabug isn't Grubbin's evo is it?
I thought I'd seen people suggesting it was a cocoon Pokemon but I thought it was a first stager.

It seems like it probably is
I'm pretty confident that Grubbin is the larval form. Grubs turn into beetles after all.

Normal/Dragon is unexpected. Pika the Hedgehog is also Electric/Steel.

Man that is a great design. Reminds me of Madoka Magica's aesthetic, which interestingly reminds me a lot of Yellow Submarine & Monty Python, which the former was mentioned on the first page concerning the fish.
We should all talk about The Beatles more.

Oooooh okay. For some reason I was under the impression that it was really really small (more so than Grubbin) and was its own line.
Well, even better then! I'll definitely be raising one. November needs to hurry up
(((I know I'm using him. Galvantula found it's place on my team in B/W next to Levanny so im down for bug types.

While I don't know if it's actually been officially stated to be the Grubbin evo, I think it's safe to say that it is. Both Grubbin and Charjabug have pincers, they both have little circle patterns on the sides of their bodies, and they both have that... zigzag mouth thing going on
Then again, Game Freak has thrown me for a loop before. I thought Solgaleo would be a Fire type for sure, when it was first revealed lol.
I love this thing. Reminds me of Seltas from MH4/MH4U.
But it was really Vic Viper (from Gradius):
I mean, "Vikavolt" ? C'mon

Grubbin's description also makes it likely that it evolves into Charjabug:
nah gotta go for OCELLLOOOT
There's just something about this one that is very meh to me. I like most of the designs except grubbins line. I know most caccooon Mons aren't the most imaginative, but combined with its basic geometry and ugly colour pallet I really dislike it. Vikavolt is just generic imo, looks like an anime bug. Cutie fly however redeems the bugs, and I'm. Down with everything else. Drampa is weirdly growing in me.

No longer canonical
I hope we get a deep sea fish. Those fish are creepy in real life, would love to see a Pokemon inspired by one.
The Frizz gym leader confirmed?!

All but two of the Pokemon in this latest reveal trailer are directly based off of real animals.

You're just jealous because you aren't nearly as majestic as Drampa. Worry not, however, Drampa is a kind soul, and he's willing to overlook your blatant disrespect.... be grateful.

This looks unbelievably stupid.
It's the cocoon of an electric bug. I think it being a battery charger is really clever.
When I first saw it I thought it was a cool design and thought the idea of the Grubbin line all having a loose vehicle theme was a nice touch.
But there's loads of little details that I missed the first time. It's a charger, which makes perfect fucking sense since it's a cocoon, the little jaws double as a plug and its eyes are actually battery life indicators. Up there with the gen 5 duo as my my favourite early route bugs.
