That said, I agree that they should've done away with the edgy "going Mega makes pokeymens suffah" shit they started in gen 7.
It really doesn't fit Mega Victreebel either. You see that dumb looking fat fuck Pokemon you laughed at? It's actually SUFFERING every moment you force it to exist, don't you feel bad now?

I can accept a design that's so stupid and weird looking that it's funny. But the edgy lore is complete whiplash for me.
 
Does anyone get the feeling that the design might've originally been for a gigantamax?

Because I'm seriously getting that vibe here.

Edit: This video makes it look much cooler. If anything, it shows that Gamefreak is at least aware of how fucked up the thing looks, and that it belongs more in a Pokemon horror game than a regular mainline one.

Friendly reminder that they did this teaser for announcing ONE Mega, so if they wanted to, they could make an entire game like this. Voice acted, even.:(
 
To be fair part of the monetization problem stems from investorbros being obnoxious douchebags and scalpers buying out entire stores. I've never had a problem with people discussing the values of their collections in the past but I will admit that the recent rise of scalpers has made me less tolerant of that side, especially when they bitch about certain chase cards dropping in price.
The scalpers aren’t the only ones buying out stores, don’t forget about the fomo retards trying to “beat out the scalpers” by also buying out the stores. People want to put all of the blame on scalpers, who are a huge problem and scum, but none of them want to put any blame on the retards waiting outside of a store. There’s also a lot of selective outrage. I don’t want to hear her basically say “think of the children” while also being a part of the problem.

Monetization of the space is bad, full stop. You can’t sit there and shit on pokerev or deeppocket, or any other niggerfaggot like them and then like and retweet some camwhore showing off her PSA 10 SM era grails in slab protectors and go “yaaass queen”.
 
In the end, slapfighting over the definition of a "real fan" (BTW @30+GameOvers check out the no true Scotsman fallacy) doesn't even matter because money is money regardless of whose wallet it came from, and SwSh sold like hotcakes.
I made the definition very clear and expanded on it with later posts, the only reason anyone would argue against it in such a pissy, passive aggressive womanly way would be if they don't fit it, ie casual or a tourist. Either way, the original poster I was referring to is some sort of disingenuous redditor or a low IQ moron and still offered me none of his receipts, so I will treat him and everyone else involved in this little spat accordingly going forward. I can discuss and argue about video games all day if someone is worth my attention, but I have no time to babysit retards. Nobody is paying me for this.

And what do you know, the next big Mega Pokemon reveal is fucking retarded looking, color me shocked. They don't care, you will buy it anyways. You decided to buy that game the moment they announced it, they don't need to put any effort in these designs. It probably wasn't even made by human hands, it was likely designed by AI, but they don't care, you will buy it anyways. Horde of unwashed low IQ impulsive non-fans are going to storm the doors of those stores and trip over themselves to buy this piece of shit day one no matter what they release in previews, at this point this is just Gamefreak mocking everyone who already pre ordered the game. Then, the game will sell big bucks, it will somehow make the formula even worse, the dipshits who bought the game will complain about their purchase, and then some tourist mongoloid is going to blame fans who aren't buying this game for how well it sold. Then, the hype train for the next game will start and all will be forgiven, starting the cycle all over again. This happened for years now, not surprised nobody in this thread can see it if they are active participants in it.

This nigga is still super salty I a) called him a redditor, and b) said Pokémon fans buying the games are more culpable for the series’ quality than the developers.

Mega Victreebel looks great. Well, maybe more as a gigantomax than a mega but I enjoy a good silly design. Forcing all the megas to be cool would be too tryhard (though Mega Dragonite still sucks). As far as megas go, I’m always down for taking a theme and running with it. I’m sure the superfans who are still buying the merch, and still participating competitively, and are still going to buy this game (as arbitrated by @30+GameOvers) will appreciate it even more than I.

You're a dumb moron with zero proof about anything you said and the only people who are impressed by anything you say are tourists(ie non-fans) of the franchise and probably redditors. Your ego was hurt so you're trying to get the last word in like a small child, even when I already made it clear I don't take you, or your posts seriously, so you're just starting shit again. All you're doing is justifying my posts even more, /vp/ has less salty posters than you and select users here, which is funnily enough where I have been discussing Pokemon over the last few days instead(and had a much better time since these people actually know what they're talking about sometimes)
"Forcing all the megas to be cool would be tryhard"
You mean not making them look retarded and putting in the least amount of effort into making them look like the designs we've seen in Gen 6 or prior would be too much effort, so we can't criticize the billion dollar company too much. Oh wow, we got ourselves a real fan here. Go fuck yourself, it's mouth breathing morons like you that ruined this franchise post Gen 5, I will take the opinion of fucking Yawnfag over you anyday of the week(he also argues better, too).

Lol
Lmao, even.
 
My god is mega dragonite a horrible looking piece of shit. As for Victreebel

Mega Dragonite has grown on me - sorta like a fungus - but that's mostly because Regular Dragonite is already such a derpy looking bastard that it honestly tracks that his Mega would also look derpy.

Mega Victreebel, low hanging jokes re: the designers obvious fetish aside, just screams "recycled Gigantamax", but its not like Victreebel's design really had anything to build off for a Mega - it's just your standard Kanto Pandering for a line that hasn't gotten any attention in God only knows how long.
This nigga is still super salty I a) called him a redditor, and b) said Pokémon fans buying the games are more culpable for the series’ quality than the developers.
Just set the dipshit to ignore - he tends to pop into games threads and shit up the place, it's not worth the headache, nor is his schizo posting entertaining enough to offset reading it.
 
Mega meganium has crashed into the twin towers
/vp/ already made a better, stitched-up version of that image:
1755886910312.webp
It looks... fine? I'm worried they'll spin the lack of neck into some bullshit about the flowers overwhelming its ability to move, making its head basically immobile. Sure seems like it, anyways.

This is just them pulling a Venusaur again. "Oh hey, we have this cool flower dinosaur on our hands that needs a new form. What do we do with it?"
"...give it more flowers?"
"BRILLIANT, YOU'RE PROMOTED!"

It's even more girly than the base form, somehow, which is kind of funny to me. Also oddly tropical. I definitely don't mind it.

Then again: near-identical to the leaked design, which already showed this off. It's very safe. In a good way, mind you, if it was another fucking Victreebel I'd have rioted...

...anyways, why is nobody bringing up the Mega Zygarde from that same thread? (It didn't get a better image, this is all we've got, sorry.)
1755887078616.webp
I'm not tempted to believe this one is real, just because it's wildly different from the leaked design. Also, its background is different, and the level of blur isn't similar. There's no blue overlay and the rainbow Mega hue thing isn't consistent across its body. Etc. etc. etc.
Then again, I am a stubborn denialfag, so of course my go-to is "this isn't real." It might well be, someone who might have been connected to Meganium guy posted this. He didn't have a trip, so there's no guarantees that it was anything but an opportunistic shitposter, but I don't particularly care either way. I find it funnier, instead, that they're making "the strongest Pokémon ever" again, except now they can't even wait for gen 10 and are deciding to blow their load on a Legends game. Assuming Zygarde really does get a mega, and it goes off of 100%'s stats, Mega Zygarde's stat total would be 808, which is the largest stat total in the entire series. (Discounting the unusable Eternamax form with 1k-whatever.) Power-creep? What's that? *yawn*

Where there's a will there's a way. They could've taken inspiration from other carnivorous plants, there's plenty of species so no need to worry about stepping on Carnivine's toes, like that deep red one with the fancy hat or the tall one with purple striations.

Some fanmade Megas are decent, even if they're a bit overdesigned. I like the first one's idea of using a Sitrus berry as bait.

It's nice. It still has Gigantamax vibes and I wish the flowers weren't so thick, but it's not bad.

This one matches the description, it's the mockup that is wrong:
Mega Zygarde Description.webpZygarde.webp
The English in the description is hard to parse so who did the mockup mistook the green with the black. What the leaker meant to say is that Zygarde's black part above its chest remains mostly the same, but below it's almost entirely green.

I thiught your comment was about meganium, and I'm gonna name my Pingis. For the carnivorous plant, the pinguicula.
This one matches the description, it's the mockup that is wrong:
Idk the mockup looks spot-on. It looks like a weird 100% Zygarde holding something long and cylindrical over its head.
