>>29302981Golem is literally ruined.
I'm serious; before this it was just bland.
Now it's literally shit. It makes no sense. The entire design concept of its design has gone nowhere and actually gone back on.
>>29303108Let me spell it out for you.
Geode + Dude = Geode Pokemon. It's a living rock. Simple.
Graveler = like a snowball effect, it's the result of a geode rolling down a cliff and accumulating mass. Hence it has multiple arms, as if it's rolled into another Geodude.
Golem = it's accumulated so much mass it's made up of multiple (tectonic) plates and becomes a turtle-like creature, referencing both the world turtle and the mythological golem. Its main theme is that it rolls. It's a boulder. It rolls. It explodes because of miners detonating dynamite in mines to get to rare rocks.
Now, what is this new form?
>Geodude gets...sparse hair-like rocks and eyebrows>for some reason>Graveler gets...sideburns, arm hair and little bits of corn like a massive smelly turd>Golem gets some weird Allah Akbar beard that looks absolutely nothing like iron filings, a Jewish skullcap, stubbier arms for some reason and a fucking railgun (a theme another Pokemon this gen already does better) made of shitty rocks and cornIT CAN NO LONGER ROLL
IT ROLLS
ROLLOUT IS ITS THING
EXPLOSION IS ITS THING
WHAT DOES IT DO NOW?
FUCK
It's literally fucking RUINED
Alola forms were clearly made because they couldn't find a way to make new/good Ice or Dark Pokemon in Hawaii, and since cross-gen evos and Megas are finished they thought they'd fix Golem with this.
It'd honestly have been better if they put in Red Machamp as a form; at least that makes sense.
