Wait whose side are you on? A tiny insignificant change is enough of a change to refresh a 20 year old design but a middle ground between two brand new designs with more change isn't enough?

Or are you illiterate and somehow thought I was shitting on Diglettx3 being the evolution of Diglett?

Alolan Diglett also comes with surfer bois Alolan Dugtrio, and was a single weak entry in several well designed alolan forms. Not to mention it came in an entirely new game with it's own new mons.

USUM is already being derided as a lazy rehash, and the first mon they decide to show is... a lazy rehash. It's not a good look, and it's a little upsetting GF thinks it can (and probably will) get away with 10 minutes in photoshop level effort.

Also, I already shouldn't buy the game because of financial reasons, and this only backs up my decision. I know I'm just one person, but I'm also not the only person on a budget

A completely valid point. If we weren't cherrypicking ONE thing. The Lycanroc form was revealed for the ANIME, not the games.

Once again, the point we're debating is "10 minutes in photoshop"
For a middle form. That's meant to be between two things. There are plenty shitty little changes that nobody bawls their balls off about. There are plenty of shittier forms.

Except somehow THIS time, it's the end of the world and EVERYTHING in USUM (The amount of which we know is nothing) is trash because YOU don't like this particular small change.

It's literally the midday model with a modified mane and a color change. They could have at least changed the stance or the face texture but they didn't do that.

I get that they only revealed it because it's going to appear in the anime, but that doesn't excuse the fact that very little effort went into the design. It's also the first thing we've seen about the game since the E3 reveal, and it does nothing to shake the "lol lazy rehash" judgment everyone's had of it thus far. It's game footage, it's marketing for the game. And it's marketing very poorly. Unless I see something better, I probably will not buy this game.

Once again you're missing the point.
The change is IN NO WAY the least amount of effort to go into a FORM CHANGE. It's not even the least amount of effort put into a mid-generation form.
Not by a million fucking miles. We have 800 Pikachu with hat for god sake

We aren't discussing the marketing of USUM, that's objectively irredeemable fucking garbage, but somehow to call a perfectly normal and acceptable FORM CHANGE the fucking proof Pokémon is dead is retarded beyond belief

You're ignoring context. Pikachu isn't supposed to change form, it's supposed to be literally Pikachu with a hat and that's what it is. Dusk form is supposed to be an intermediate between the two forms, when it has nothing from night besides its mane. It fails to deliver on its premise.

What do you mean this much attention? One tweet is all non-Japanese followers got. From /vp/? Not avoiding the point, just genuinely not sure what you mean

>>33229591
Actually I'm not, I just strongly disagree. If all it comes down to is you don't think it's a good enough mid-point that's a completely valid opinion, though we got here from having to dismiss multiple other complaints, and that's the thing that's annoying about this.
People (Maybe not you in particular, but you have a little during this conversation) keep guarding an opinion with psuedo-facts that have nothing to do with it's design.

Personally I like it and assuming Midday is the "proper" form and the Midnight form is a change upon that, I think it has enough changes. It gets the fur and fringe, the colour starts to go red, the eyes glow red when it's angry. It reminds me of the usually grotesque half-way point of a werewolf transformation which is sort of the point.

I'd struggle to name a Pokémon that got LESS attention, the anon I replied to in the first case implied that it got the most of anything other than Ash-Greninja

Maybe I'm being cruel to someone who ACTUALLY doesn't speak English as a first language. See, "Most Pokémon" when we're talking about specifically form changes, as pretty much everyone in the thread except you seems to realise, means "most pokémon" from the ones valid to talk about.
Again, you still haven't given me any examples of others, so I don't know how to give you an answer.

Also the only time I've said marketing in this entire thread is to say "We aren't discussing the marketing of USUM" and disregarding USUM because you dislike Dawn-Lycanroc is retarded.

When did I ask you for marketing and imply or claim that Pokenchi didn't count?

That's not advertising or hype anon, that's the description of a form post-reveal.#
Protip: If it's meant to be advertising or hyping up a big reveal, it would have to be before it

Haha ok I stopped reading at the first sentence. You're literally putting words in my mouth now. 7/10 you had me going for a while, and condolences if you're genuinely this retarded.

If you really need clarification, "This much attention paid to an embarassment of a "form" that's less creative and well designed than fucking sonichu" is what I meant.

Not even going to touch the pokenchi shit anymore, >>33229770 is literally a nonsense post now

>When claiming "You asked for marketing" and that mentioning something japanese in response to "All that non-japanese people got was a tweet" isn't brainmelting stupid

Anon please, try to understand this language you're learning. I do not need clarification, I asked for an EXAMPLE.

This really proves just how retarded people using "I dislike this design" to say anything except that are.
