Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

I want a Water/Ground elephant that waters the grass with its truck.
Why I want Ground is because elephants can trample on everything.

 

[RileyXY1]

They don't look like Pokémon in my opinion.

Yeah. That is not Ken Sugimori's artstyle.

 

[Freak-Pokemon]

Yeah. That is not Ken Sugimori's artstyle.

My biggest gripe about gen 5 is why the heck is Alomomola not a Luvdic evolution??

 

[a230]

Yeah. That is not Ken Sugimori's artstyle.

Maybe they are James Turner's art?

I think you quoted the wrong person.

Also, your guess is as good as mine, since I also think they should be related.

 

[RileyXY1]

The art style is very old school Disney looking. I don't think that James Turner is the type to copy Walt Disney's art style.

The grass raccoon looks too much like Miko or Wabuu to be a Pokémon.

I personnaly think that this leak is fake. Therefore, the modeling leak of the other starter in the same leak make me thing that it could be real.

The model means nothing.

Anyone that knows how to do a 3d model with Adobe can do it.

 

[Oriden]

Those starters are so laughably Disney, I wouldn't be surprised if the artist has a ton of Disney fan characters in the same style. XD

 

[TechSkylander1518]

Yeah, that racoon is pretty much identical to the Disney one, and the Water starter is so similar I honestly thought it was a recolor until I looked closer. No way this is real.

I get some Pokemon not being someone's cup of tea, but I think hating on Gen 5 because you didn't like a design when other gens use similar ones is just silly. Maybe you don't particularly like object-based Pokemon, so Vanillish isn't your thing. That's fine. But why bring it up in every discussion about Gen 5 Pokemon if you're not gonna rag on the Voltorb line every time Gen 1 is mentioned? (Also, both designs have extra depth to them: the Vanillish line uses natural ice formations to recreate the shape of an ice cream cone, such as icicles and snowdrifts, and Voltorb is based on the mimic creatures found in most RPGs)

 

[PocketMonster]

I doubt they would change the tradotional starters of fire water and grass but this is a game for long time fans so i guess its possible to change.
Not sure it would be good to change though.
Of a change what comes to mind is a new typing of a trio or just keep the traditional and add an electric choice and a ground choice (5choices).

 

[Poke Dragon]

Honestly, I would arguably say that Gen 5 had much better Pokemon than Gen 1 did, Excadrill for example, is much cooler than Dugtrio and even then, Dugtrio tried to mimic Excadrill by typing with its Alolan form, jealous much?

 

[Adelon]

So I lack culture because I dislike Pokemon based on ice-cream cones and garbage bags? Yeah...

Those inanimate object Pokemon are based on ... inanimate objects which in Japanese folklore gain a mind of their own after hundreds of years and start acting like living creatures.

I don't really mind them.

 

[Lufenium]

So I lack culture because I dislike Pokemon based on ice-cream cones and garbage bags? Yeah...

They're two evolution lines in the largest generation of Pokemon. 5 Pokemon, out of 156. Gen V has loads of solid designs apart from those two regularly mentioned examples you gave.

I'm pretty sure Arcanine10 meant people disliking the entirety of the Gen V dex because of a few ones they didn't like.

In Gen V's case I think the most of them are "overdesigned". But I agree with the statement that Gen V Pokemon are better than Gen I, because the first gen Pokemon are mostly either bland as fuck without many details, colorless or has three heads.

Seems pretty fake, what do you think?

Fake, not only is the artstyle majorly different, they aren't even interesting designs. Literally animal painted in different colors. The 3d model is probably just Blender. Somebody goin above and beyond just to troll.

 

[Oriden]

See, it's not specifically the object pokemon that bother me about Gen 5 and I think it's a disservice to list them as the reason that Gen 5 was bad- it's Darmanitan, Conkeldurr, Garbodor, Seismitoad and so many others that made the generation lack appeal. I don't even mind Trubbish on its own, but as a collection, Gen 5 was incredibly unattractive.

 

[Scruffyjay]

I prefer gen 5 designs to gen 4. Gen 4 had a couple of my favorites but also a bunch of ... ugh. One of the reasons I didn't like diamond much.

But every gen has -something- I like, and gen 8 will likely be no exception.

 

[NinjutsuSen]

For people liking them yeah, but designs are purely subjective. I don't even support that whole "Pokemon based on objects like Trubbish are bad" thing.

The thing that rather annoys me with them are that half of them feel to much like altered Gen I Pokemon. Probaly because BW with its new Pokemon only Pokedex tried to emulate that Kanto feeling in it.
