Still have no idea what they were thinking with Popplio. Zero indication that you’ll get such a feminine evolution from looking at Popplio, and that kind of defeats the purpose of choosing your starter based on looks. It’s not an awful design. The implementation is what bothers me.

I’m fine with (You) enjoying the line. Like I said before, I don’t think Primarina is an awful design. There’s a world of difference between your turtle getting bigger + growing cannons and your sea lion coming out as trans (feminine traits out of nowhere).

>T-they’re the same because they both change
You have to realize how dumb this argument is, right? Especially when my point is that you could have NO idea that Popplio would take that turn in aesthetic when playing blind, a turn that is far more dramatic than something like Squirtle -> Blastoise. It’s honestly a problem with most modern starters; the “surprise” evolution trend sucks.

They absolutely are.

If anything Blastoise is worse because Wartortle is very clearly going in a totally different direction expanding Squirtle's curly tail into a wavelike design which Blastoise then completely drops for guns out of nowhere. In comparison there's a much more natural progression from Popplio to Brionne to Primarina.
>There’s a world of difference between your turtle getting bigger + growing cannons and your sea lion coming out as trans (feminine traits out of nowhere).
The only difference here is you arbitrarily decided feminine designs are something that needs to be signposted from the first stage (seemingly because trannies live rent free in your head) but randomly growing guns isn't.

How? The point of Grimmsnarl's (and Hatterene's) line is that they're fairies with magical hair. It makes total sense for that hair to get bigger and more important as they evolve.

??? What the fuck are you talking about? Popplio is nondescript in it's "femininity", starting as completely neutral. Second stage immediately leans more into a feminine design, and then even further with Primarina. It's literally a step by step progression. Squirtle on the other hand takes a 180 between Wartortle and Blastoise ditching the evolving tail/minogame direction for a gamera/shell cannon one.... because they were literally separate designs to begin with.

I like both lines, but you're fuckin reaching hard there. Also, obligatory "rent free".

I still don't see the point in Grumpig existing. I am old enough to remember when Gen 3 was releasing and getting hyped up at how interesting a design and name Spoink was. And then it just becomes... whatever the fuck Grumpig is. If they wanted to do the pearls before swine pun, there were a million better ways to do it and still incorporate the springiness and oddity that is Spoink. I could easily imagine an alternative Grumpig that gains the Steel type, a spring coil around its entire body, and the "pearl" becomes some sort of wrecking ball it launches at full force by coiling up. How much cooler would that have been?

I don't think it's talked about enough how generation 3 is such a weird generation when it comes to Pokémon designs. They were somewhere between coming off Generation 2's more natural designs and then the spikier/tougher designs of Gen 4. I gather they wanted to make the game feel more lived in and so the Pokémon took more inspiration from real world creatures instead of just being amalgamations of different ideas / generic animal but Pokémon. But they still had some of the old ideas in there, because you get crazy shit like Blaziken or Metagross mixed in with Shelgon or Chimecho who feel more like they would fit in with the first two generations. I think the issue is that Spoink kind of more follows the design philosophy of Gens 1 and 2 (it actually looks like something you'd find in the Gen 2 beta) but then it evolves into a Pokémon that uses the newer design philosophy of Gen 3. It starts as a fantastical creature that looks like it came out of a JRPG and turns into a purple pig with "cool" elements. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. It's very indicative of the jump they took going from the earlier generations to the middle, and the line is not cohesive because of it

Spoink has an interesting and unique design going on with the spring, Grumpig in comparison feels very boring and uninspired. It's like if Marowak lost the bone theme and just became some kind of generic dinosaur after Cubone. Yeah it still has the pearls (even then only barely) but that always felt like the least important part of Spoink.

I mean, not really. It still has the orbs. It still has the spring tail. Not sure what else to expect from it outside of it literally just being a bigger Spoink, which would have it's own group of people shitting on it. Idgaf about that line one way or the other, but its pretty inoffensive.

Yeah, that’s how it works. They pulled the exact same thing off fine with the Fennekin line, so my expectations were not even unreasonable by the precedent set by every prior game. The “LOL U NOT MANLY ENOUGH TO USE GIRLY MON?” argument is pure fag logic, and only makes you look like a dumbass. I want to use pokemon that I perceive to be cool, and with starter pokemon, I think it’s best when you can have some reasonable expectation of what the evo line will look like based on the appearance of the base stage, something the Popplio line completely fails at doing.

(You) posting “u mad lel” while edging with an XXL dildo up your ass doesn’t change the fact that Popplio broke conventions in a way that actively works against a blind playthrough. Starters are the one example where “It just gets bigger” is the most reasonable outcome.

not that anon but starters have literally always been designed with "subverting expectations" in mind, even the gen 1 ones have been explicitly confirmed as being done backwards with Nishida stating she wanted to make the base stages in a way that you wouldn't guess the evolutions
whether or not they succeed in that or whether it's a good philosophy is another question entirely but the precedent from the start has always been expect the unexpected

You do realize that "insecurity" means hiding your feelings, right? A guy being blatantly honest about why he doesn't like something is the exact opposite of insecure. Insecure would be hating Primarina, but never voicing that opinion out loud out of fear of backlash.

That’s fair, but I would argue that the “surprises” used to be a bit more subdued / grounded (as funny as it is to say that about a turtle with cannons). The trends started with Gen 7 (arguably Gen 6) have not resonated with me at all. Feels like things got ramped up to a 10, with starters needing to be designed as characters rather than monsters.

yeah that's totally fair
I personally like evolutions that go in wild directions so a lot of my favourite starters are in the 5+ range, but the trend of "character" design isn't one I'm happy with either
like I love Primarina, I enjoy the thematics of going from clownish performer to mature performer with a bit of silly and I can buy it as a design because the mermaid/siren aspect makes its humanoid traits more believable while also being naturally fitting for a sea lion, but I can't say I don't have my problems with all of them sharing the exact same hairstyle/accessories or having tiny necks on a pinniped to appear more human
and then you get things like the gen 8 starters which are literally "rabbit... but football" or "gorilla... but drummer" and you find yourself in the middle of a furry RPG instead of a monster raising sim

I never understood this complaint. Like just because a species is characterized as a singer or footballer or whatever doesn't mean individuals can't still have distinct personalities. The anime for example even shows Ash's Incineroar as being distinct from a stereotypical one, being more of a coward and preferring ranged attacks to melee wrestling moves.

Also it's not like these Pokemon haven't existed since gen 1. Cubone, Hitmonchan, Chansey, Primeape, etc.

excluding Chansey those are among my least favourite gen 1 designs, just because something is legacy shouldn't mean I have to like it or that it's necessarily good
Cubone especially is probably my second least favourite mon behind Mimikyu, I've always hated taking these approaches with a supposed species

Gonna have to disagree. The problem is that the design philosophy has shifted. It’s similar in ways, but it is noticeably different. Not a problem for those who enjoy it or children who have grown up with it. Just isn’t my thing. The Popplio line is the most jarring example, but it’s really something that applies to most modern starters.

Aegishlash always looked pretty ugly to me, the design of the sword is just way worse than Honedge and Doublade, and a sword holding a shield is a worse concept than a sword holding its sheath. I also dislike how the line basically goes "1 sword > 2 sword > 1 sword again lol". At least Doublade is a good eviolite mon so I can just pretend Aegislash doesn't exist.

Honestly, what they should have done was make them a split evo, like Honedge could evolve into either the attack focused Doublade, or the defense focused Aegislash. It would make more sense and it would let them get away with just reusing the sword design again instead of redesigning it for the worse for the final form.

this absolutely, and i'm extremely happy with kleavor because it's the kind of evolution i thought scyther deserved. scizor is fine but it departs way too much from the things that make scyther cool, while kleavor doubles down instead.

I would've been on-board if it still LOOKED like a dolphin instead of a weird fucking anime joke character. He looks like some shit I would see in Shin-Chan's doodle stories, or like a character that the Captain Underpants kids would imagine.

What makes it worse is his fucking gimmick ability where you don't get to use him unless he's switched out. Which means even if you did like this form, you only get to enjoy using it in battle. What a fucking waste.

Grookey was the least worst option to me upon reveal, but then when I saw the final evo I was shocked at how lazy a design Rillaboom was.

In contrast I was hailing Fuecoco as the best starter in ages and then all that potential was shown to have been wasted with these, especially this horridly ugly middle evo (which these assholes keep making, as if I don't already try to forget Grotle exists).

Other than the eyebrows, I think it's a fine design. It's just that the colors suffer from Unova Syndrome- dark gray as a main color, secondary color is way too bright and oversaturated to look natural. No tertiary color to break it all up. It's just an ugly color scheme.
