>>58590246When will retards get that the problem is that different pokémon have different appeals?
Chimecho is not the same kind of design as Feraligatr. The former is cute, small and adorable. Meanwhile, the latter is cool, edgy, badass, and has a powerful, intimidating design.
Chimecho's fans won't mind a slightly silly mega concept, as long as it's still characteristically adorable.
Feraligatr fans will want an appropriately cool, badass and intimidating mega form. They don't want their awesome favorite starter being turned into a fucking meme for Shitter normies. I think this is how Starmie fans feel as well. It's incredibly disrespectful to the original pokémon and its loyal fanbase.
It's obvious that the ones who forgive Game Freak for shitting on these pokémon, just because the end result is "le funny" and "le meme-worthy", tend to be people who aren't fans of said pokémon. Of course they wouldn't care; they've never given a shit about those pokémon.
>UR JUST A TOXIC HAYDURR!!! THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOFY MEGAS LIKE MEGA SLOWBRO!!!1Mega Slowbro was retarded but to be fair, Slowbro has been a silly, goofy pokémon from the start (although the Mega's execution could've been handled better). It's NOT the same thing as GF deliberatly taking badass monsters with huge diehard fanbases and turning them into memebait for social media engagement.
The only Gen 6 mega concept that could be said to have been significantly dumber than its original form is Mega Manectric, the giant rhombus.
Apparently, Mega Garchomp was also disliked by many, but that seems to have been mostly due to its weird chin; the core concept itself didn't feel like a gigantic slap on the face like Mega Feraligatr, it was just small design choices gone wrong. It clearly wasn't intentional.
Although there have always been silly pokémon and cool pokémon, it's a problem when TOO MANY OF THEM are retarded memebait, and pokémon that were supposed to be cool are deliberately turned into jokes.
