Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

I love my nigga father. He's cool, I'm actually happy about him.
So it looks like the starters are also inspired by not just Spain, but two of its biggest colonies it influenced, Mexico & Brazil.
Spain- Sprigattio
Mexico- Fuecoco
Brazil- Quaxly
I think Quaxly will be Brazilian based because it's the dancer pokemon & it's a fighting type? I think it uses capoeria.
 
I get the love for Neighbor Wooper but that Tauros is wearing straight up blackface and I can't un-see it. It even looks like black grease paint and has a red mouth :story:

My brief thoughts on the starters' evos:

Fuecoco's is meh, I actually don't hate Sprigatito's (although, I'm a fan of magicians so I'm biased) and Quaxly is pretty cool.

Quaxly won design wise, if you ask me.

And on a side note:
The rock salt Pokemon:
It's name is literally NaCl and I love that so much.
 
Two more 'mons have leaked:

The 2-headed pepper kappa:

The worm:

My thoughts: the worm is alright, it's a neat take on an earthworm. Fuck the peppermon. I was excited at the prospect of a 2-headed pepper kappa, and that design looks awful to me. Huge disappointment.

A heavily sweating feverish Japanese man bursts into Game Freaks packed conference room "Guys great idea for a new pokemon design, Tyranitar but MORE green"
Dead silence in the room... Head Developer slowly stands up and starts slowly clapping " Takeshi this is why we pay you the big yens"
Takeshi's ancestors look on from Heaven in pride.

Bisharp I'm pretty sure is a new evo.

Kinda disappointed that literally every future paradox pokemon is a robot as opposed to something stranger.

Oops, thanks for the catch, I was in such a rush to upload the picks I didn't realize I had lumped it in with the Paradox forms.

Edit: Really enjoying what they're doing with the Paradox 'mons, hope they release more as dlc (leaks state that Suicune and Virizion will be dlc, hopefully there will be more than just those two). This is a neat gimmick, hope GameFreak expands on it.

Got some more leaks.
...Eh, feel like they could have done more with these. Volcarona and Hydreigon are alright though.

Salamence actually looks cool as hell. It's like a fancier mega.

Toxic Debris already sounds painful to deal with. :(

I don't like the implications of Pokemon becoming robots in the future. At the very least, they could've thought of something more original instead of making them all "Pokemon but made of metal!" (:_(
I think that might be partially to show off the hip new metal effects (which are fairly prominent in a lot of steel types.) I'm also thinking they'll probably benefit from being in motion, where we'll see them clicking and clanking more.

General consensus I'm getting is that Scarlet has higher highs, but Violet's got generally more consistent quality.
Stats and abilities for the Paradox 'mons:
This feels like I'm speaking from some kinda reversal alternate universe but... I'm... scared of Delibird.

Well, presumably, Koraidon and Moraidon both come from the past and future respectively. So all the future Pokémon being robotic was to be expected.

My best for why? The world will likely become less hospitable for pokemon as time goes on and, as a result, most if not all were either mechanized or replaced with a robotic copy to compensate.
