>>27043247>it doesn't use the tongue enough to justify its existenceYou know, it might seem small, but this is actually the only gripe i have against Greninja. Idea-wise, it is great and creative, but Whether it be technical limitations or sheer laziness, the peeps at Gamefreak didn't particularly do much to make it seem useful, which is strange because of all the times we've had some of those "where did THAT come from?" accesories on pokemon like pants, belts, gloves and the like, this is the rare occasion in which it actually makes sense, after all frogs have long tongues.
The problem is that it's so stiff and motionless that it doesn't even feel like a tongue. It doesn't even surprise me that there's still people that don't know it's his tongue even 3 years after he was revealed, and i'm sure it's because it was handled poorly. I've always said that it would've been perfect if it were simply shown not having the scarf out all the time even if it would affect consistency marketing-wise. Yes, it makes sense that a ninja would hide its identity from the enemy, but why even keep doing it to your trainer and the like? They should've made a scarfless model that works outside of battle and make it switch to scarfmode when it's in battle.
If there's any 3d programmers out there, how hard would it be to make a 3D Greninja that can go from having its neutral look to wrapping its tongue around itself to cloak it in real time?
