Dialga's cry is a horse getting run over by a tractor so sometimes, cry noises just aren't accurate. :P

I figured it's toadlike from the proportions (though the legs look like a sauropod; Venusaur's hind legs do bend like a frog's) and squat build, but it doesn't push that resemblance enough to make me say, "Oh yeah that's definitely a frog". Which was intentional given the Ken Suigimori interview...

Nah, it's not "warped". There's more than just a few kids and adults that find snakes cute or cool. You CAN make a cute snake, it's certainly been done before. Snake Pass... On the other hand, there's a lot of media geared for kids that stars animals, even on the less humanoid side. The movies...

The plus point about Snivy is that its body indeed stands out. While it's a good idea to strip down components of a character to let players project themselves on it, there's the risk of also homogenizing the designs? I've seen a bit of this with the recent lineups of fully-evolved starters...

Yeah, it just doesn't translate that well for a plush. I think things with very narrow necks just don't translate to plush very well. This one has a clear defined pencil thin neck which just doesn't hold up to gravity. They have to shorten the neck and make it fat just so the head doesn't...

Wait, what? People hate Torterra's design? It's positively badass! It even is suggested to be based from historical folklore of turtles carrying the world on their backs. Its design is pretty damn unique (owing partially to being asymmetrical), the color scheme works well, and its design...

How do they give off an awesome feeling? Just want you to explain? I just like that 3D models are more tangible despite still being digital, and you can do cool tricks with them that 2D cannot, such as lighting and camera settings. People tend to lament that 2D is gone and that 2D has more...

Don't think changes in decorum really matter if you're harassing the developers. Guys, don't harass developers or else I'll spam some Pokemon models made in 5 minutes for you, and they will be good and they will be in industry standard Zbrush and they will be over 2 million poly. Now can I talk...

Most fur and scale texture in video games, detailed ones, owe to additional texture maps as well as those maps working in a rendering engine. The technology for better textures is there, especially on the Switch. They can easily make normal maps, height maps, ambient occlusion maps, metallic...

Sure, my sister is doing a playthrough of ORAS, hasn't done so in a while, but she did say Ralts was almost immediately useful, being able to laugh at Brawly's gym. There might be a falloff period during Kirlia, but it doesn't seem too bad, given the recent updates on it at the other thread. It...

Bump but figure it's worth something. There has been extensive discussion and agreeing back in the original tier list of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald of Ralts moving to S tier. I think Ralts has a really strong case for S tier, given that the babying period for it has been overblown and Kirlia is by...

Ho-Oh, the majestic rainbow bird, has had some pretty... eh... sprites. I don't buy this flapping animation. That's just not how birds fly. I think there's way too much weight at the body of Ho-Oh, and the flapping feels like there's no force. Overall, I'm not getting this "majestic Rainbow...

I always like how people complain about the new designs every generation. I'm more welcoming about each design. I mean, I used to be one of those types, but I realize, you should just give it some time for the stuff to settle in and then see if you are still okay about it. Most accusations that...

oh yeah, I have some catching up to do. but hell if this discussion needs to be forced to stop especially when it's relevant to Smogon and will significantly affect the competitive scene I don't really care for the Dynamax mechanic honestly, it just bores me. It's just fluff.

oh my god this is version exclusives taken to the next level: GENERATION EXCLUSIVES
