Thoughts on this dog?
Whether competitively, design-wise, or whatever.

Yes, in ORAS you take your dog to the Slateport Pokemon Fan Club and some woman will style your Furfrou.

The concept is neat and some of the designs are quite good. But vanilla normal typing means I'll probably never ever use one in a playthrough.

The straight Normal typing isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's more like, it has an amazing ability, and certain things that mean it could be awesome, but it just falls short in so many areas it's never really good.

It's got this weird movepool where it has some great shit like T-Wave, Cotton Guard, and Sucker Punch but lacks the stats to make them work by as little as 10-20 points and is so limited in other ways. And it feels like even with its limited movepool it needs five moveslots to be good.

With a small stat buff and some better moves like Iron Head or Extremespeed it would be pretty decent. Like a less good Arcanine.

I like the the wild look the most.
The fact that you needed good style to unlock many of the later cuts was kind of stupid though, made it just about impossible to get some of the cuts if you wanted to use them during the story.

The wild look is the best for the default Furfrou.
For the shiny one the cuts look better.

The hair grows back every couple days too, so you have to keep trimming it.

I wish Pokemon eggs had a different design for the Pokemon they contain like in this picture. Besides having a neat design, it would be useful knowing whether or not you're getting the right egg in trades.

1. No regrowing hair/resetting cut when put in PC.
2. Type changes with cuts. ("Oh, the dye is made up of ground up Fire Stones!")
3. Better stats. It's stat total is 472. An addition +28 points can turn it around.
4. A bigger move pool. C'mon no Body Slam and the trademark "Learn All Moves" Normal Type archetype? No Slack Off for Recovery? And if type changes, each cut can learn certain moves. (Debutante Trim can learn Electric Moves; Kabuki Trim can learn Fire moves etc.)

Yeah, that's tedious but I'm somewhat okay with that. I'd even be okay with the style reverting after a battle.

What I really wanted was a nice line of differently styled Furfrous in my PC. But no dice. A charming idea though, I'll give GF that.

>all this talk about changing types
Honestly, I don't think that would work that well. If types could be changed or added that easily, it would open a whole new can of worms.

What would be cool instead is a custom move - let's call it "trim slam" - that has differing effects depending on the trim. Could be interesting if fleshed out.

That's just a symptom of a larger problem with XY. The whole game is just tedious as fuck. It's like Skyward Sword on steroids. Every single design decision seems to have been made to railroad the player as much as possible.

Fits Kalos like a glove, love the designs.

Fur Coat's also a cool ability, with max investment it virtually reaches 170~ base defense which is pretty cool because things with that level of defense tend to be slow. I think maybe if Furfrou's movepool was a little better or if its offenses were a little better it could be a solid gimmickmon.

I've always liked the design of good ol' Snooty Dog. Never used it on a team, though.

Back when this was leaked, was anyone hoping this was a pre-evo of Absolute?

Having the type change with cuts would suck since it would simply be Dog Rotom or a shit Arceus. Everyone would use like 3 forms, the rest would never be seen at all. Your favorite form could turn out to be a shitmon.

Better to just raise the whole Pokemon up.

Is easy to say now that we have precise artwork, but during the leak we just had the pixelated battle model, people were thinking that it could be a split evo of Absol or something like that.

i love this doggo
i ran one on an all-dog team (arcanine, houndoom, stoutland, granbull, mightyena, and this guy). he was a great surprise wall, what with his ability + cotton guard.

i think most cart battlers forget he exists until they see one?

Easily the best black shiny, because, to me, it isn't "edgy". And I wish more Pokemon could be styled in different ways.

Agreed.
If I could pick any shiny and would base it not on my liking of the pokemon itself but on the shiny alone, Furfrou would be an almost definite pick.
