I like the design. Not pretty but it looks like a monster that lives in a volcano, exactly like it should.

 

[Nori Chan]

Art doesn't give it justice.

Looks better in motion

 

[kuroneko0509]

Shell Trap seems to be Counter?

oh ya forgot about this move... so fire version of counter then?

 

[dragonflys545]

Jesus... They ran out of ideas?

 

[Dystify]

 

[Regiruler]

oh kinda like this Shell Trap move

So a stronger counter that's affected by stats?

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

That looks awesome! He turns around and looks at you as if to say "You done fucked up now son!"

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Shoulda called it Torturkey.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Also lol @ people thinking "ugly af" is particularly insightful when the design clearly is supposed to look rugged and ugly in the first place.

 

[KingDirk]

Oh hell yes

 

[AlexMeloche]

Just realized his shell is basically this.

 

[Benzychenz]

Everyone calling it ugly, and I like it more than most of the other gen 7 mons.

 

[Boss Doggie]

it looks like a kaijuu that's for sure

 

[Berordn]

I... guess it had to happen eventually, but this is honestly the first Pokemon I've absolutely hated at first sight.

 

[everyday math]

And that's why I don't like it. Looks fucking ugly. Neat ability tho.

 

[KHlover]

That's a nice explosion.

 

[clemenx]

The face literally looks like a real life turtle. I wonder if the ugly as fuck camp also asks for more animal like Pokemon.

 

[KingDirk]

Flamera.

 

[Death Penalty]

I love it. Oh my gosh. This guy is going right into my team.

 

[Neiteio]

Really loving this guy's design

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It's got a nose like a softshell turtle.

 

[Wavebossa]

First thing I thought of was a megaman boss.

This is a hideous creation...

Spoiler

just like all megaman bosses

 

[Charlie0108]

What is it with this gen and Pokemon looking miles better in game than in the official art. Great to get another Fire type and another Dragon. I like the design enough, but I don't see myself using it, mainly because I think it might be single stage.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh crap

Blastoise
Torkoal
Torterra
Carracosta
Turtonator

only 1 more and you can make a turtle-themed set!

Many pokemon nowadays look better in motion because they were designed with movement in mind rather than "still action poses"

 

[Dystify]

That's a nice explosion.

That hit animation on Carracosta is hilarious though.

 

[PreyingShark]

Really loving this guy's design

6'7"? Nice and tall, just how I like my dragons. Perfect!

 

[woopWOOP]

so a fire Kappa

I like it!

 

[Mik317]

yeah first new pokemon that looks bad to me.

but hey not everyone is goin to win beauty pagents I guess

 

[Kinsei]

That hit animation on Carracosta is hilarious though.

Well it is Water/Rock. The explosion probably just tickled it

 

[GiantBreadbug]

And that's why I don't like it. Looks fucking ugly. Neat ability tho.

Well that's cool and fine.

I like it and also recognize that it's ugly. Some of my favorite Pokemon are horrible looking monsters.

 

[Kebiinu]

Ehh, even it's ingame model doesn't do it for me. Maybe it has to grow on me? I hope it's gimmick + stats make it viable, competitively anyway. Typing is cool, provided it isn't a legendary.

 

[Bowlie]

Oh crap

Blastoise
Torkoal
Torterra
Carracosta
Turtonator

only 1 more and you can make a turtle-themed set!

and Shuckle!

----

i don't like this one

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Also, got some elements of a matamata turtle:

 

[Wavebossa]

The face literally looks like a real life turtle. I wonder if the ugly as fuck camp also asks for more animal like Pokemon.

No, we said more good looking animal-like pokemon!!!

 

[Boss Doggie]

and Shuckle!

worm tho

 

[N.Domixis]

Itls like terminator.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Ugly as shit

 

[yoonshik]

 

[Kyzer]

Turtonater is going to be a really strong totem pokemon.

 

[MisterHero]

I can make a team of 4 turtle pokemon and give them names from an old Rennaissance art book!

 

[Garuroh]

I like it, ugly in a good way.

 

[Neiteio]

Jesus... They ran out of ideas?

How is this "running out of ideas?" It doesn't look like any other Pokemon.

Turtonator looks great. I just need to get used to typing that name!

 

[kuroneko0509]

JP name is Bakugamesu バクガメス, but doubt you guys cared
as usual the name is a pun or combination of words that makes sense

 

[KingDirk]

Guy's lore is awesome. He basically fishes with dynamite on land.

Batman did a PSA comic about this guy in the 90s

 

[Banjotanooki]

So are they planning on revealing all the new Pokemon before the game comes out?

I've never seem so many Pokemon revealed this early before the games is even out.

 

[RagnarokX]

Turtle Aligator?
Turtle Terminator?

Which one?

Tortuga Detonator, obviously, based on its description and move.

 

[Ydelnae]

It seems like an Unova dex reject. I don't like it.

 

[Wavebossa]

Jesus... They ran out of ideas?

How?

I cant think of a single pokemon that looks like this guy...

And that's a good thing

 

[Atlas157]

Looks cool.

 

[Boss Doggie]

so what's the difference between the first explosion and the second explosion

I can make a team of 4 turtle pokemon and give them names from an old Rennaissance art book!

wow, and the colors match too! (leeway for Raphael and Michaelangelo)

you just need a good rat mon
