I like it, but I also love Golem-esque monsters, and that includes automatons.

With the Zygarde Formes, I just assumed we were waiting on Z, but now I have to wonder if we're looking at Gen 7 coming up here? I mean, ORAS' Megas weren't programmed into XY, so it's entirely possible that Magearna could be locked into a Z version/added via patch.

Either way, something big's definitely coming.

 

[GasProblem]

I think it looks ok. Not the biggest fan. Maybe it'll grow on me when I see it animated. Wonder what its midriff is since it has different colors compared to the rest of its body.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Obviously that's where the Fire Emblem goes, duh.

Bonus: in rolled up form, Rollout does double damage.

I imagine that'll be the case, if that form becomes a thing.

well...

A rolled up Magearna can fit on Volcanion's hole

 

[V-Faction]

Can you tell me Gen V's legendary pokemon?

Off the top of my head

V for Victory, Verizon Wireless, Cobalt Ore, Terraria, Kellogg's Ego, 8-Gigs of Ram, Illegal Roms, Cutie Rem, Twister, Lando Calrissian, Very Very Frightening, and Generation Sex.

Looks like Tim-Tok from Return to Oz.

My question is when Pokemon switched from Legendaries to Mythical Pokemon.

 

[wildfire]

Let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that Gamefreak doesn’t know what it's doing. It knows exactly what it’s doing.

I love that everyone knows exactly what they're doing with this meme.

 

[Theorymon]

My question is when Pokemon switched from Legendaries to Mythical Pokemon.

AFAIK, Legendaries that are obtainable without events such as say, Articuno and Landorus, are still called "Legendary Pokemon".

Additionally, Pokemon like Groudon and Xerneas have an extra "restricted" qualifier on them.

It's the event Pokemon that are now called Mythical Pokemon, stuff like Mew and now Magearna

 

[Cynn]

What does this Digivolve into?

Big image:

looks weird, like maybe is a recent not so ancient mythical pokemon?

Did Ash ever open the GS Ball

Did you read its description?

 

[Crayolan]

Another new artificial pokemon, another day of people complaining about things that have always existed in pokemon as if they are changes.

Pokemon that are based on man-made objects or actually are at least partially man-made:

Wait, how are Gyarados, Meowth, Elekid, and Wobuffet man-made?

 

[Tingle]

Wait, how are Gyarados, Meowth, Elekid, and Wobuffet man-made?

Meowth has a coin attached to his head, which is man-made.

Elekid's head is literally an electrical plug.

Wobbuffet is a punching bag.

This last one is a stretch, but I think Gyarados is based on those Chinese dragons that people walk under. I disagree on the choice of that one.

They aren't man-made, but are all based on man-made objects (which makes no sense in nature) I guess is their argument.

Isnt meowth generating coins? payday was his unique move in gen1.

 

[HiiiLife]

Meowth is a maneki-neko.

 

[JoeM86]

Did Ash ever open the GS Ball

He gave it to Kurt in the Johto League. The original intent was for Celebi to be in it (hence the Celebi event in Crystal) but that never happened.

 

[Tingle]

So then the question is how an animal is forming yen coins. Which is the point they are making.

Meowth is a maneki-neko.
(Pic)

Yeah, I know. The issue is mostly that he has the coin on his head, though.

 

[Orochinagis]

Did you read its description?

Now I did, did pokeball design were like that in the past? I remember those were like rounded berry like eggs

 

[Toxi]

Wait, how are Gyarados, Meowth, Elekid, and Wobuffet man-made?

Wobbuffet is an inflatable punching bag.

Elekid is an electrical plug.

Gyarados is based on a koinobori carp windsock.

 

[RagnarokX]

Gyarados is based on Koinobori; a japanese wind sock designed to look like carp. This is why gyardos is water/flying.
Meowth is based on lucky cat statues.
Elekid is an electrical plug.
Wobbuffet is a punching bag.

I said the list included pokemon based on man-made things. Statues and wind socks count even if they make organic creatures out of them.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

I think this thing is related to Diancie.

 

[tensuke]

A manmade gear pokemon made 500 years ago? wat

 

[DXLelouch153]

that looks horrible

It's funny how one of the most impressive and powerful Pokemon ever is based in on a freaking windsock. I guess it's fitting considering what Gyarados evolves from.

Here we go again, another Thread, another time people try to mask their shitpost as criticism.

Here's the ultimate life-hack:
If you are gonna criticize the new designs, you should remember that almost all of your issues also apply to the older Pokémon. If you don't want to be seen as an unreasonable asshole, you gotta explain in detail why you think the newer ones are bad (Tipp: " They are not interesting to me" is actually a valid reason as long as you don't try to generalize based on that)

 

[ArchedThunder]

A manmade gear pokemon made 500 years ago? wat

This is a universe where 3000 years ago a man made an ultimate weapon that fired into the sky and killed countless Pokémon. Oh and firing the weapon had the side effect of making him immortal. What's wrong with a 500 year old robot. Manmade Pokémon also already exist.
The Pokémon world is not our world.

"Ancient science fashioned this Pokémon from clay. It's been active for thousands of years."

Fun fact: robot is the Czech word for "forced labor" (slave) and was based on the Jewish golems.

Yeah, this post is definitely the right way to look at things. I generally favor the first two generations of Pokemon, but not because I find them superior, its just pure preference. Also, people pretending there are no good designs out of the hundreds of Pokemon added since Gen 1 aren't doing themselves any favors, and pretty clearly are just dismissing the series at that point.

That, and I typically like the man-made Pokemon. Just because you don't one uncommon archtype of Pokemon, it doesn't make the other ~100 Pokemon in that generation any worse.

 

[GasProblem]

It kinda looks like a nurse as well. Maybe it's a Pokemon Center in Pokemon form, stick a pokeball in that hole in it's midriff and it heals the Pokemon inside.

Off topic, but man Gen V has a lot of great designs.

 

[Lanrutcon]

I'm confused.

What qualifies a robot as a Pokemon, since it's not a natural species? Can any machine be a Pokemon? Is it just a matter of age, or functionality, or does the machine need some kind of driving AI to give it the semblance of sentience? Doesn't that mean that corporations could create killing machines and enter them into the Pokemon World Championship?

"Next up, Ash's Pikachu vs Cybertronics Inc's newest mobile weapons platform!"

[Boss Doggie]

Oh yeah, the evil minister's name in the movie is Jarvis.

Lewd.

it fits!

 

[Star Falcon]

Looks pretty bad like most mythicals.

Pikachu would probably win since he can overload the robot.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Look, if this Pokemon were made 15 years ago you all would think it's a great design. Genwunners amiright?

 

[Lanrutcon]

Pikachu would probably win since he can overload the robot.

Not if Ash was at the wheel. Now Red, on the other hand, would kick ass and chew bubblegum.

i haven't seen a pokemon movie since 1999. is ash the main character in all of the movies and tv shows?

This has been a question for a long time. Porygon, one of the original generation of Pokemon, is a computer program. Its evolution, Porygon 2, is an upgrade of the computer program. Porygon 2 has its own evolution, Porygon Z, that's the result of illegal user mods.

I assume sentience would be a big deciding factor.

Pokemon threads in Gaming side are the worst. Someone create a bingo already for all the dumb stuff people tend to say. I think we got at least 2 of them in the first page alone.

Where do you live where nurses wear crinoline ball gowns?

Magearna's gown has scallop patterns on it that look like ruffles or sashes and the bottom part looks like sashes or an under dress.

The shit-posting is so terrible.
I don't even like this design but at least I don't say lazy shit like "lolz only the first 151 were any good".

It also derails any Pokemon topic. /sigh

Porygon is the original Digimon.

Porygon shinkaaaaaaaaa
