you just know zoomers would lap it up if it were real. Just imagine if this Sobble were official and the real official one was the redesign.

not really a trend
unless you mean this one specific artists thing, but either way i generally like seeing people revamp/redesign pokemon, and these are no exception

Kantonized sobble looks like trash, it's totally incompatible with the Pokémon's design and feels really out of place, if you don't like it that's okay but don't pull ugly shit and pretend it's better because "MUH CHILDHOOOOOD"

The problem with Kanto-style Sobble is the artist had no idea what actual visual idea they were going for, they just take things from the nu design and then try and make it more oldschool-y despite things like the dumb limbs and really the general shape not fitting at all.

Yeah we get your meme dawg. I'm not against the new designs, I just think people are doing a disservice to both the new designs and the old designs when they try and 'shift' the design over without having any understanding of why they're designed the way they are.

Yeah I always found it weird how Golbat's legs were stuck onto an otherwise quite convincing bat. Very weird design choices in Gen 1.

Both look awful. The originals were designed to look unique within their specific methodology.

The "Kanto Sobble" just looks like it has charmander's head transplanted on its body. "Reboot Vulpix" is designed to have features that only fit the 1st gen with the proportions of newer generation Pokémon.

They're both frankenstein monsters and anybody with any sense would realise a Pokémon made from scratch would never look that way regardless of how they were designed.

>new instagram trend
you want my honest thought? lol. okay. fuck it.
honestly, I feel like people are too hard on themselves nowadays. They’ve been lead to believe that if they don’t become rich or date a model, that they are failures, and they’ve been groomed to believe that the lack of a college education makes their lives not worth living. People need to love themselves for who they are. Life is impossible to predict, and therefore should be treated like a playground. Experiment. Try new things. Decide that you’ll live for yourself, and not anybody else. And maybe, you’ll start to see the world in a whole new light.

The problem is the debt dude, people over inflated the scores by giving everyone an A so now college is a glorified expensive babysitter.

People get in debt to just get A on shitty professors or get crushed of actually facing standards after getting free grades all their lives, that's the problem.

Golbat's design has a completely different feel from that Sobble though. It's more cartoony and simplistic in itself, not as jarring.

thank you. I'm from a very poor household, am just a few months away from becoming a wizard and recently had to quit university despite being one of the better students to focus on working and get the money my two sick parents need. I'm in a rough spot at the moment, but your text really cheered me up. Thank you, anon. Have a nice weekend and life in general!
