New Pokémon: Crabrawler

Palossand controls human adults, making them build a sand castle that provides camouflage and also raises its defensive abilities.

Palossand loves the vitality of Pokémon and drags small Pokémon into its body so it can steal their life force. Its sandy vortex swallows them up in a heartbeat! Pokémon dragged into Palossand leave traces of their ill will behind. It’s thought that this negative energy may be the starting point of new Sandygast...

This is such a fucking dark description....

Sand Castle Pokemon got even cooler by the animation, one of my favourite designs so far. Crabrawler is also pretty cool, surprised it isn't fighting/water though. Hate stufful.
 
Fair enough :)

Oh no not at all trying to come off like a jerk, sorry there

But yeah I'm actually utterly in love with both of them :V

Why isn't Crabrawler Water? I don't think another Water/Fighting would have been unwelcome.

Also I do have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the name Crabrawler. Not because it's too obvious, but because it doesn't roll off the tongue too well imo. Something about how the sounds "crabraw" come out of my mouth.

I think maybe Craboxer would have been better :B
 
You know, I was trying to put my finger on why so many of these new pokemon designs feel off to me. I'm not a genwunner or anything, I'm talking this latest gen specifically. I think it's the fact that they look like they were designed in a way that allows to make low poly 3D models of them. Whenever I see a new pokemon I feel like the design philosophy behind it was "will it look good enough on the 3Ds screen?".

EDIT: Fuck me, post 100.
