Not sure if this is a hot take, but I'm pretty confident Incineroar would get 99% less hate if Litten and Torracat were bipeds.

People don't like getting hit with the ol' bait & switch with their starters.

 

[TheMightyP]

In the end, it would become 2 legs good 4 legs better.

I read the book. The sheep repeating the same phrase only for it to change at the end is the part I remember the most of the book.

And I just realized I ****ed up the quote. And I watched the cartoon AND read the book.

Oops.

If Icnineroar were a standalone Pokémon like Hawlucha he’d be way more appreciated.

The problem is that the people who would like a design like Litten are not the same people who’d like a design like Incineroar, for the most part. And I don’t think they accounted for that.

I need ideas. Based on what yall know bout me, if i were to make a fakemon, what would it be like. Just throw ideas at me

Something rabbit themed?

Oops.

Now you gave me the idea of a Starter Pokémon starting as a biped evolving into a quad legged final evolution.

Poison/Psychic type rabbit wizard.

Well, there's Oshawott.

And people hated Samurott when he was revealed

 

[ZephyrZ]

Well, there's Oshawott.

And people hated Samurott when he was revealed

Which is funny because I didn't care much for Oshawott but I looove Samurott.

How could I not love a sea lion in samurai armor?

 

[Noipoi]

Well, there's Oshawott.

And people hated Samurott when he was revealed

So it seems what Pokémon fans really want is consistency.

Stay quadrupedal, or bipedal. But don’t switch it up at the last minute.

 

[SneakyLink]

Well, there's Oshawott.

And people hated Samurott when he was revealed

I forgot the Oshawott line exists.

Doesn’t help that I never played Gen 5 or Legends.

Weren't we technically fish before that?

Lazy GameFrEAK does it again!

Don't worry guys. There's gonna be a quadrupedal final evolution for one of the starters.

Hey, can I recommend something?

I didn't think too much of it when people were talking about games for the 3DS and Wii U with the e-Shop closing down for those, but recently, I just remembered a game that is on the 3DS and is very obscure and one that I really want to recommend people to get.

Basically, it's a strategy card game that plays quite like Monopoly/Fortune Street, but with fantasy elements like Magic the Gathering. But despite being a card game, all the cards you get are gotten with only in-game currency. Aside from DLC Avatars, book covers, a DLC Backstory and etc, there is absolutely no monetisation with the cards, in-game money or gameplay. You can take your sweet time getting the cards in the game. Also, the music is frickin' great. Some of the music was done by Kenji Ito, which some of you probably know as the composer for Final Fantasy Adventure/Sword of Mana, Romancing Saga 1 to 3 and Saga Frontier, as well as doing the following tracks in Smash Bros:

• Star Fox's Space Armada
• Mute City for 3DS/Wii U
• Kid Icarus' Title Theme Remix
• Fire Emblem 7 Blazing Sword's Attack/Rise to the Challenge
• Castlevania's Beginning
• Wii Fit's Super Hoop
• And obviously, the Culdcept track that he did for Smash 3DS/Wii U, as well as the two tracks from Culdcept Revolt that appear in Smash Ultimate.

And he's worked with the Culdcept series since the 2nd game. The 2nd game, he composed the entire soundtrack while with Saga and Revolt, he worked alongside some other composers, most of whom only worked on Culdcept Saga, Culdcept for the DS or Culdcept Revolt. I heavily recommend giving the soundtracks, including the first game, a listen. The music does not deserve to go unnoticed or remain in obscurity.
Also the card designs are very cool. All of the cards were designed by artists and there are a whole variety of them, consisting of many fantasy monsters of different elements, like dragons, elves, demons, etc, as well as Mecha monsters, monsters based on mythical gods and creatures, etc, as well as Items and Spell Cards. Some of the Monsters would be pretty cool to see in Smash Bros as Assists, like the Armoured Dragon, the Gearion, etc.
Some of you probably know Culdcept from the random spirits of Culdra, Goligan and Allen, as well as a couple music tracks, but aside from them, Culdcept is a very obscure series in general, especially since only 3 games came out to the West, being the 2nd game(otherwise known as just Culdcept in the West. It was remade for the 3DS as Culdcept 3DS, but it stayed in Japan), Culdcept Saga and this game. But I've personally enjoyed playing this series since playing the 2nd game on the PS2 and I was quite surprised that Culdcept Revolt released in America around the series' 25th Anniversary.

But anyway, it's a game I heavily recommend with the 3DS Shop closing down, especially if you do enjoy Monopoly. It's actually not that expensive. I think in the US, it's only $29.99. Not to mention, Revolt introduced alot of QoL changes that make the game less intrusive, alot less slower and much more quick paced. But it's a game series I enjoy quite a lot and Revolt is also very enjoyable and with the 3DS Shop going down and this game, and series in particular, being very obscure, this is my recommendation for a game that people should get before the 3DS Shop goes down.
And should any of you give it a try and do like it, please recommend it to some other people or players you know who are also looking at 3DS games before the 3DS Shop closes.

Also Rule Number One of Culdcept in general: Get the Kelpie Card.

I’m having fun with Cuphead, though I gotta say I could do without the plane levels. They take me so much longer then any on foot level, be it run and gun or boss. It’s still the same level of “I ****ed up, it’s never the games fault” in the air as it is on the ground, but the plane just doesn’t connect with me that much.

a fakemon that’s Sherlock Holmes. It loves to solve mysteries. Something like mimikyu where you don’t get to see what it actually looks like to tie into the mystery concept.

Well, there's Oshawott.

And people hated Samurott when he was revealed

Samurott would have fared a lot better if it had a more samurai design( more use of the sword, bulkier attire, etc) or if it was at least water fighting like it should have been.

Remember the time a fish evolved into an octopus?

Probably the most rediculous evoltion a pokemon has ever had, even if you consider they're both themed after fire arms. It's actually a little charming in how nonsensical it is.

Edit: Oh right, Clamperl to. That evolution line also makes zero sense for the exact same reasons.

Tbf, evolutions are already wildly inconsistent about which real-life biological processes they are based on.

Small seafood becoming big seafood is not that much of a stretch.

I would love to get a cat but my parents don't want a pet and I don't trust my sister to treat it well.

But once I move out I'm definitely getting one or two cats. Let's just hope none of them becomes bipedal

If you pick one up from Hawaii you’re screwed, we’ll see how the ones from Spain turn out.

Well in addition to it being a gun evolving into a tank or turret, both Pokemon are based on animals with suckers. Octopus are quite well known for them but the remora also has a sucker-like organ atop its head which allows it to attach itself to other animals.

In honor of the demo and The Batman being out, let me ask this thread again; who would win:
Kirby
Or
Batman with 24 hour Prep Time

I mean, what the hell does Batman do against **** like this in general?

Fun fact: These are actual Kirby bosses drawn by the current series director. That explains a lot on how Kirby lore pretty much says Kirby's an eldritch abomination

A Fossil Pokemon that's a Spinosaurus (based of the Jurassic Park version)
(Would be Dragon/Dark or Fighting, pre-evolution could be a Baryonyx)

Interesting stuff. Exactly the kind of art I'd expect to come out of the director of the Kirby series. I especially like his take on Drawcia from Canvas Curse:

Dutch Raikuna Yeah, you were right—Vivy is pretty damn good. Made it to episode 7 after starting it up late last night (I had to put it down for a bit after the complete doozy that was EP6; that **** hit hard) and can't wait to see more.

"AIs turning on humans after a century of coexisting alongside each other" might not be the most original concept in the world but I think it's been executed quite well so far, and the production values as a whole are top notch and really elevate the experience.
