Was Sylveon not good enough for these psychos? Or are they just going to declare Pokemon as a whole has always been gay?

Like I said earlier, I stopped keeping up with the animus when Ash and the gang were stuck in the Orange Islands and Brock was replaced with Tracy. Maybe I was disappointed that Ash made it to the big leagues -- literally -- only to lose and then he ends up in the Orange Islands with that wandering around GS Ball plot that did not go anywhere.
So I'm very out of the loop with all of the show after, like Ash traveling with May (where did Misty go?) and her brother (?), Dawn showing up (where did May go?), and then Serena retroactively appearing out of nowhere (and where'd Dawn go?), and of course why Ash keeps parting ways with all his 'mons aside from Pikachu over and over and over.
So to me, the original anime with the original cast is still the pocketmons anime.

to be fair to her, she's been getting a lot of really vapid responses from the usual commentary types
nowhere near harassment, but I can see how a relatively small youtuber with absolutely 0 spine would be rather shocked by this kind of stuff and handle it poorly

I am still catching up to the thread after the Teraleaks, bu there was a recent breakthrough in hacking.
You know that 8 bits, the native Game Boy word length, can count up to 256. This naturally applies to the number of Pokémon. However, 3 of those slots are reserved towards special cases: 0 represents Missingno, 253 represents th Egg, and 255 represents the Cancel function, which means that hackers up to recently only could handle 253 mon.
By supporting 9-bit indices, the count increased to a potential 512 mon, and 509 in practise. Polished Crystal already used that extra space in cluding not only a lot of newer Pokémon, some being from the sam evolutionary line from the ones in the canon Crystal Pokédex, but also many regional and cosmetic variations while still having over 100 slots left over. They are also planning on adding 10-bit indices to moves, which would lead to 1.024 moves, excluding 2 special cases: 0 represents no move, while 255 represent Struggle.
This also means that certain hacks that had been awaiting this developments, notably Ancient Ruby/Sapphire and Pokémon BW3: Genesis, will resume development. (When you look a the mess that was the Pokémon BW3: Genesis code was, the far more highly optimised Polished Crystal code would automatically be a YUUGE improvement.)
This would also mean that my currently hiatused SV demake hack would be able to represen the teams of every importan trainer properly. While I would have to remove all of the Pokémon in the ol Dex and restore only the Pokémon lines that appear in those importan teams, I would actually have plenty of room left over. The problem is that my demakes are based on pokegold, since I want Super Game Boy support, which would also lead to MSU-1 support; pokecrystal is Only for Game Boy Color™ and therefore will not work with Super Game Boy. I have been trying to pu that support in pokegold, but I have been having problems getting things to work, since pokegold RAM has a different structure from pokecrystal RAM even withou the new stuff that pokecrystal added.
In the worst case scenario, I would just move to Polished Crystal, since the benefits of the 9-bit structure and highly optimised, updated code overrides the benefits of Super Game Boy and MSU-1 support.

because this series was one of the very few, especially in anime, that avoided that kind of truly retarded character design and now it is no longer anything special
reminder that the main cast of the series looked like this for the vast majority of the series' run:
even as recently as Journeys, the overwhelming majority of character designs stayed relatively sane with the exception of some strange colors or rather outlandish (but still very grounded) hairstyles:
and now that relatively unique, grounded style is completely gone in favor of whatever the fuck Horizons is doing
even the most normal people in this series have dyed hair, partner-appropriate clothing (notice how Orla, easily the most "normal" design of the entire cast to the point where she sticks out, still has metagross-colored boots), and one or two relatively useless accessories
additionally, some of the most normal-looking people are the fucking protagonists, which is not only a bad idea for memorability in general but also makes the addition of designs like Dot and Ult (green-haired kid) to the cast feel even more ill-fitting. You have Roy and Liko somewhat trying (and failing) to capture the "normal kid" aesthetic of Ash's series right next to Dot and Ult going full balls-to-the-wall stupid with two-toned purple hair, invisible eyes, huge green bangs and a braid...
Dot made a bit of sense since she's a shy emo streamer girl, even if she really does stand out in a bad way, but Ult is... god knows? Apparently Roy knew him from childhood, so presumably he's just some random kid from Kanto... the MOST GROUNDED REGION by far, with gym leader designs that look like this:
in generations 3 and 4, after they were redesigned to be slightly more distinct than "guy in shirt," "girl in shirt," "guy in tank top," and "scientist."
So having some freaky green-haired kid with stupid hair come from a region in which even the powerful eccentrics look relatively normal clashes heavily with the series' history, the anime's history, and creates a lot of dissonance between the Kanto most people know and the Kanto this guy is supposedly from
(even assuming he's from Hoenn due to the Sableye, that is still a lofty fuckin' assumption. Hoenn's designs are way closer to Gen 1 than Gen 9, with even ORAS' stuff being relatively toned-down save for the flamboyant homosexual at the end of the gym leader line-up, so his design still doesn't make sense)
meanwhile every other shounen anime on the block didn't really care about this kind of stuff and just shat out "cool-looking" character designs, leading to protagonists looking like this:
and excess becoming the norm, even (arguably, especially) for teenaged characters
even as recently as Journeys, the overwhelming majority of character designs stayed relatively sane with the exception of some strange colors or rather outlandish (but still very grounded) hairstyles:
The main exceptions often came from game-derived designs, like how Alola's cast was almost entirely comprised of the relatively outlandish Trial Captains (which btw were also heavily lambasted when that series premiered) and Iris + Cilan were in-game designs, where they looked a lot less out of place, lifted for use in Best Wishes.
You can see even in the first picture how the two anime-exclusive characters stick out, they're a lot more grounded than, for instance, Kiawe (black guy with fire hair) or Mallow (teenager with a flower crown and very long green twintails). You could reasonably assume Ash or Go to be normal kids with eccentric barbers, whereas a lot of the Alola cast are walking stereotypes of anime excess

in short: (I think) it makes Pokémon look incredibly generic within its genre, when it previously stood out for refusing to abide by the genre's character design norms

double-posting because what I'm about to say is barely-related schizo nonsense, but were Dot and Liko originally supposed to have each others' partners?
I swear I'm not going insane, look at their designs:
Both of their outfits are tailored to their exact opposite partners.
Dot has:
The main thing making me hesitate on this theory is the fact that their designs don't change too much post-timeskip, but aside from chalking that up to the fact that this timeskip seems relatively minor (probably 3-5 years? Enough for Liko to go through puberty, but not enough to make them all adults) I can't even fully agree with myself here, because the timeskip does bring both Dot and Liko close to their current partners' designs:
Dot gains light blue cables and shoes to compliment Quaxwell's light blue accents (and tones down the green), while Liko gains black sleeves to go with Meowscarada's black much more obvious in the 3D model, but they are in fact black and not dark green accents. Liko also has emphasis taken off her very yellow tote bag and placed onto her neck, which now has a hood surrounding it (like Meowscarada's flower collar).
I seriously think they might've ditched the duck after how badly it flopped and gave Sprigatito to Liko last minute.
It's kind of a stretch, but I'm having a hard time unseeing it. The correlations are so obvious that I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else propose this theory yet. Maybe someone has and I'm just not looking in the right places?
edit even their fucking hair matches up, what the hell? Liko's hair is styled quite similarly to Quaxly's (notable tuft pointing left in the front on the bangs, larger tuft in the back in the shape of a droplet) and Dot has that weird side-tuft thing that Sprigatito has going on with its poorly-drawn fleur-de-lis. Exactly three spikes of hair sticking out near her cheeks, like Sprigatito.
edit 2 I'm losing it
I swear I'm not going insane, look at their designs:
Both of their outfits are tailored to their exact opposite partners.
Dot has:
- two-tone light and dark green in a shade almost identical to Sprigatito
- pink accents (also a very similar shade to Sprigatito)
- a backstory and personality that's very similar to a cat's, being shy and slightly abrasive,
- as well as a tendency to hide herself behind a costume (like Meowscarada does a mask) and has a job explicitly related to trickery in performance (specifically: dressing up in costume) like how Meowscarada is based off of a sort of masked magician
- a majority two-tone blue palette
- with yellow accents
- and a lot of white (main difference is that it's tertiary on Liko but primary on Quaxly, but that's splitting hairs | EDIT: Dot also has Sprigatito's primary palette as her tertiary)
- a rivalry with a fire-type user whom a Quaxly would be useful against
- a more determined personality than Dot (even if she's still pretty naïve and gentle) that would compliment Quaquaval's flamboyance more than it would Meowscarada's general sleaze
The main thing making me hesitate on this theory is the fact that their designs don't change too much post-timeskip, but aside from chalking that up to the fact that this timeskip seems relatively minor (probably 3-5 years?

okay, TRIPLE-posting because this is also completely unrelated, but I think it might be important:
Legends Z-A's director has revealed himself ahead of release.
Haruka Tochigi (this is the only real English source I can find on his identity lol, sorry for the wikia link. if you know Japanese or trust online translators, here's his employee biography and interview (with Ohmori) for more info) has never directed a game before. He's done a lot of art direction, especially in regards to CG and character design (unsure of whether that relates to Pokémon or humans? it's never specified as far as I can tell), and used to make a lot of art for the Professor Layton games at Level-5. This would be the first game he's directing, and given that he's a newer employee (joined in 2013) with roots in the Gear Project he's probably not Team A (like I'd originally expected), but I haven't got very high hopes since I'm not really sure how doing a lot of art would qualify anyone to direct an entire game. I might be missing something though, I don't know enough about the process to comment.
I do find it pretty interesting how he seems to be playing a lot of indie games, and has explicitly stated that he's watching how people play PLA to try and see what he can learn from it, but I'm not sure that has any bearing on how he's actually going to run Z-A. He's also posting a lot about his own game on his Twitter (tagging it with "#indie" so I don't think it's a GameFreak title; rather, just a personal project), so he's at least been trying his hand at game dev for some time now. Notably, he also seems to think that most AAA titles "look too similar" despite their polish, and is actively trying to do things differently (written in his biography; Japanese so it might be mistranslated)... which would explain a lot, lol.

also, given how much he posts about Splatoon, I am 100% blaming him for that "splatoon-like" knockoff that the Teraleak mentioned lmao. Maybe Z-A is a way to prove his worth before getting to direct that title?
