POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Kriven]

It doesn't matter what they're based on. That doesn't make them any better.

And there's a difference between nostalgia and noticing the very apparent style change after the first artist left. While there have been other Pokemon I've liked, every single one of them feels like an unnatural robot. They are all spiked, or have weird semi-circles. I'll use my favourite "Modern" Pokemon as an example:



This is Pachichi. He's an adorable bastard, isn't he? As far as Post-2nd Gen Pokemon go, he's pretty good. Fairly simple, pretty close in concept to the original Pokemon. Still,something isn't right... hm...

Wait... what's with his ears? Are they... are they clipped onto his head? Are they ears at all? I'm not sure at this point. I mean they look like ears, but there's those extra little spikes poking forward. They look like headphones of some kind... what....

And.... what the fuck are those spikes doing on his tail? Is he going to spin around and impale me with them? Why are those even there? Why do they look so wrong?

No seriously. What the fuck is with the spikes.
