Does anyone miss me. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1471343764369.jpg
Nope, the rampant hugging murder bear is still an enigma to me if I actually want to use one
Also they screwed up where they put the mouth
http://pa1.narvii.com/6175/1e2c0b745f8aaec125e7a5c94c19448bf0e7a764_hq.gif
It should’ve been on the white muzzle not under it
Only just noticed that. That’s kind of upsetting.
I notice everything
He still wearing these kid’s thing on its head…..it didn’t grow up mentally….this i dangerous.
I didn’t know if u can understand me or not put the concept of its mouth is this ….try to feel it. http://images.parents.mdpcdn.com/sites/parents.com/files/styles/scale_1500_1500/public/Pressmaster.jpg
Eww, what an ugly animal.
Kill it with fire!
I don’t have fire
KILL IT WITH EARTH
Rhyperior can learn Flamethrower and Fire Blast.
Yeah but I wouldn’t be get STAB from it
Besides that abysmal Special Attack is a drawback
It shouldn’t even have a mouth imo
It should just be a tiny circle right under its nose
That would be acceptable
Misdreavus is upside down
Hahaha…just its face.
Five Nights at Bewares
As long as I had a weapon, I’d be fine with this.
So many Bewear haters. It is cute af
Soooooo I’m finally back home after a 4 week vacation; 1 week in Spain and 3 weeks in South Africa. I had an amazing journey and I’ve seen more than I could’ve imagined. The trip to South Africa was really exhausting though, because of the long days and the many amazing activities I have done. However, I’m glad I’m home again to join you guys in all of the discussions again and stay tuned for the very last Gym Leader Showdown next week 🙂
Nice to have ya back Haxford a lot has happened here since your descent.
Who are you again
AAAAAARGH! I hate it when the SWTOR servers go offline. Now I’m bored…
We will be getting live game play of Pokemon Sun and Moon Thursday. Hopefully we also get new information.
Hopefully Pikipek Evo., New Alolan form, how a trail works exactly, a new Pokemon or three, City names, town names, more I tell on if split evolution will happen to starters!
Sandcastle and Baby Bewear
Also my freaking Ground/Fighting type
Rugby monkey incoming, watch this space.
And if it’s not Ground/Fighting or Fighting/Ground I will be ticked
I just know they’ll screw me and make it Rock/Fighting
Oh right forgot those
What do you guys think of these Megas for SuMo?
Mega Bellossom – Grass
Mega Venomoth – Bug/Psychic
Mega Lapras – Water/Ice
Mega Lilligant – Grass/Fairy
Mega Rapidash – Fire/Flying
Mega Lumineon – Water/Poison
Mega Weezing – Poison/Fire
Mega Pelipper – Water/Flying
Mega Volcarona – Bug/Fire
Primal Ho-Oh – Fire/Flying
Mega Gothitelle – Psychic/Dark
Mega Musharna – Psychic/Fairy
Mega Delcatty – Normal/Fairy
Mega Mightyena Dark/Fire
Mega Jynx – Ice/Psychic
Mega Noctowl – Psychic/Flying
Mega Chandelure – Ghost/Fire
Mega Clefable – Fairy – ability – Lunar Terrain: boosts the power of Psychic, Fairy and Dark moves for the next 5 turns.
Mega Mismagius – Ghost
Primal Lugia – Psychic/Flying
I don’t know about Primals anymore that is a one time deal
Also the whole Lunar Terrian is redundant since Misty Terrian exists
Maybe along the lines of Fairy Fog which summons Misty Terrian
What you think of this Mega Rhyperior design?
Fat and gross
Dis is my vision
Refresh
But Blaq mis interpreted my idea for the tail, the spikes should’ve been on the club
And the head a little bigger and the two horns pointing forward like a triceratops
Mega Clefable no ability yes the rest no
Some you gave fairy type and its to bland for them it should be changed like Musharna
Primal Lugia should gain Water type knowing lives in Water, main power from water, Guardian of Water
Some typings should change cause a few too many keep its exact type instead of changing to make it badass
It’s good I just thought some of it should change to be better.
Actually that’s not true
Lugia does not have control over the seas, it can create storms from flapping its wings that last I believe 40 days, many assume that because of the whole Guardian of the sea dealie which is also a misconception as well, they choose to dwell in deep underwater trenches because it’s power is so great, a light flutter blows houses away,
So yeah
Oh I still think Water would fit it’s description for something
How could you do dis to Lumineon???
Yeah Why Poison??
I didn’t, it was someone else
Has everyone forgotten about wanting a Mega Milotic????
*Pulls a gun*
*Glares intensely*
Mega Milotic Water/Fairy
*Hurls a cleaver*
*Head gets chopped off*
I’ll get the grill up
Alola Milotic Water/Fairy
Ginger she-beast
No but More towards mega Flygon
so when are we getting news next .-.?
New live gameplay on Thursday 🙂
hallelujah! I thought we would have to wait till next month 😀
Mega Bibarel, Normal/Water and learns Wood Hammer. Flawless design, absolutely love it.
I’d change the eyes
I don’t see it getting Wood Hammer anytime soon
“The user slams its rugged body into the target to attack. The user also sustains serious damage.”
Nothing but fur und fat
I like fur and fat, preferably on the same (male) body. But I’m drifting.
Ehh to each their own
I feel switch to Grass type instead of Normal
Its a beaver…
So Wood Hammer, has a leaf on head, Beavers chew wood, and move wood
Makes some sense
Alola Flygon.Magnificent
Off aquasynchronization’s Mega’s here’s a list I would like to see
Mega Raticate- Normal/Dark
Mega Flygon- Ground/Dragon
Mega Staraptor- Fighting/Flying
Mega Tauros- Normal/Ground
Mega Politoed- Water
Mega Lanturn- Water/Electric
Mega Sunflora- Grass/Fairy
Mega Octillery- Water/Poison
Mega Togekiss- Fairy/Flying
Mega Celebi- Grass/Fairy
OMG MEGA STARRAPTOR! Starraptor is legit my #1 flying type ever
I’m partial to Aerodactyl
Aerodactyl sits in my top 5, but Starraptor is just majestic. Such an intimidating bird imo
It could be most badass Regional bird of all more than it as Fighting/Flying Mega!
Mega Rhyperior
Ground/Rock
Solid Rock
HP: 115
Attack: 170 (+30)
Defense: 150 (+20)
Sp Atk: 30 (-25)
Sp Def: 130 (+75)
Speed: 40
Mega Evolution has supercharged its defensive capabilities so much that not even a speeding train wouldn’t phase it, running on all fours it can demolish anything in its path
This is Terrific!
Needed
So I wonder what part of the game Morimoto will show off on Thursday. I can’t imagine them not showing a new Pokemon. I just wonder what island the demo will be on. I don’t think they’d just show the demo from E3.
Watch them, I don’t put them above it.
Canodrick
Primate Pokemon
Normal/Fighting
Keen Eye/Sand Veil
Stats
HP 102
ATK 115
DEF 90
S.ATK 68
S.DEF 72
SPD 110
I should draw my Fighting/Psychic Shaolin Monk Baboon/mandrill
Mega Ursaring – Normal/Psychic
3/10
Not enough mega Milotic in the comments.
That thing is old news, you should start focusing on your new partner…. Bruxish
How is that in any way related to the article, or anything in general?
Vain attempts to shift appraisal onto his bloody sea whore
As, um, direct as that is, I applaud your writing skills.
Many thanks unto my hostile publications
Alola Arbok – Poison/Dragon
This is one is desperately needed. I can’t even describe how f-ing magnificent this is.
My vote has to go to Clemont only because of his anime counterpart who I relate with on so many levels; especially the unathletic part.
Blonde Nerd, Diggersby One-Shotted his entire Team…. Well two shotted Emolga
So what do you guys hope they show off on thursday :D?
Bewarby and Sandoom
What?
Baby Bewear and the Sandcastle doy
Babywear or Babewear is my prediction.
Guys I’m bored as fuck and want to play video games. I’m wondering if I should restart either Y or AS (I’ve done it lots of times though) or maybe buy one on the nintendo store (if it’s not expensive, or else I’m gonna be broke). What do you think?
Play the old mystery dungeon games if you haven’t.
I even own sky explorers 🙁
The Mega Fairies have come to invade
Mega Florges – Fairy – Triage
Mega Vileplume – Fairy/Poison – Levitate
Mega Granbull – Fairy/Dragon – Defiant
Mega Aromatisse – Fairy – Dazzling
Mega Carbink – Fairy/Rock – Solid Rock
Mega Wigglytuff – Normal/Fairy – Fluffy
Vileplume’s primary type is Grass, so it would be Grass/Poison or Grass/Fairy in that case
I just noticed that no Mega form has its primary typing changed. Damn, Fairy/Poison would’ve been pretty good
Alola Vileplume Fairy/Poison is a possibility tho
but…
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/157/723/887.jpg
Truuu, I’d just settle for that
Not really it’s still a plant
I’ve been saying that for years
why does granbull get a dragon typing?
Because I want it
Well we don’t always get what you want
Cuz just like Gamefreak, I just felt like slapping Dragon typing into a random Pokemon
i mean Exeggutor made sense, since dragon fruit are being found on palm trees in hawaii lately
And then there’s Mega Ampharos.
wasnt it explained why?
It’s name is literally Electric Dragon
And its base form isn’t dual Dragon. Lol @ GF
Because it was a sheep
And don’t forget the Dragon Palm
They are Alola better make a dragon fruit based berry or I’ll be a bit sad!
Fairy/Fighting for Granbull better
Honestly looks more Dark then fighting
All of them… All of them I will kill with Poison and Iron
AND DETERMINATION
Vileplume can’t it can’t lose primary typing during
Carbink I feel deserves Evo based on what stone it holds
BRUHHH I WANT DIS
dat be coool
Kill with fire, kill with fire.
IT WONT WORK
HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT
Guillotine!
-Scrafty’s head was removed!-
That was scary…
I think I need a moment
Wondering Scrafty is one of my favourite Pokemon, I’m gonna have to go with a firm….No.
One Pokémon I would LOVE to see get an Alolan Form is Farfetch’d.
It is such an adorable Pokémon, and has been vastly underrated and forgotten. I even personally know quite a few people who completely forgot that it was from the First Gen.
Multiple Pokédex entries describe the stalk of cane it carries as a weapon/sword, and how it will fight for territory, or to defend it’s nest. Because of that, I could see it becoming a Flying/Fighting type, especially if it was brought to the Alola Region, and had to learn to fight off enemies for nesting space even more often than its home region.
I think this would make it an awesome physical sweeper, and if it’s physical attack in speed were greatly increased, I think it would do really well in competitive, and, depending on the move pool it would gain, maybe could be on par with Hawlucha.
It would also gain that much needed help against Ice and Rock, which maybe could be its natural foes in Alola fighting with it for territory.
Any thoughts? ?❤️
That’s nice, although I don’t think an Alolan form would help Farfetch’d at all. Its BST is only 352 and none of them are higher than 65. That’s just abysmal. It needs a real evo, with perhaps what you are envisioning as its alolan form.
Good point!
I was very bummed when it and Dunsparce didn’t receive Megas, but here’s to hoping it still gets some love this time around.
I mean, THIS SCREAMS FIGHTING TYPE! ?
hm even megas wouldnt help them. they need proper evolutions
That’s definitely something I would be down for. ❤️
We haven’t had good, actual evolutions for older Pokémon for 10 years. >.<
slyveon is the only one we had after gen 4 but i refuse to count eevee as a cross-gen evolution since thats the point of it
Yeah Sylveon is hardly a cross gen evo since it was just added as a fairy type gimmick. They should’ve just added evos instead of alolan forms. I don’t think anyone sensible would’ve been mad.
Alolan forms are cool dont get me wrong! Maybe a alolan dunspace can evolve into drampa lol that be pretty cool if a Alolan form has a completely new evolution
True.
Although, being very technical, it is the first and only Pokémon since DPPt to be an evolution of an older Mon. >.<
I still LOVE Sylveon, though. ❤️
Yea but Eevee you expect that, you know more are coming, cross-gen was nice since YOU NEVER KNOW WHO WAS GETTING ONE
I’m not even sure Megas would be the best way to help them since it only gives them +100 to the BST. We need another Gen 4 where they add amazing and beautiful new evos Dx
yea cross-gen was amazing, but people complained :/
Well people can suck it because all of the designs are gorgeous.
people thought gen 4 had too many. then after that we only had gotten 1 new ( which i still dont count) in the last 2 gens
I’m in the boat that there weren’t enough lol xP
YES
I disagree.
I say Flying/Steel and the spring onion/leek becomes a proper sword 😛
Ugh Final Fantasy XV looks so freakin gorgeous. I really want it, but release date is 29/11/2016? Roughly 10 days after SuMo release. Really not healthy for the wallet.
Get a job you hobo
one paycheck can buy me 3 games
Is it every two weeks or weekly
Lazy, rather sleep and play games.
Nah jk, just graduated so taking a little break.
Sumo?
Sun and moon. Some people are afraid of using the acronym SM.
Pokemon SM SM AND SM
Also I find it more fun to use SuMo lol
I am a Sumo!!!
Well Rhyperior definitely does have the build of one lol
Imagine me sending it out
And after giving a fiery glare it does the trademark Sumo Stomp
has anybody saw this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE3oKQ6WbU
So normally I don’t comment much but I need someone to tell me how I can make this look more like leather :/
Leather? As in tan?
Just add very very faint specks to show a texture
I’ll try that, thank you. I want it to be worn but I guess that wouldn’t really fit with pokemon.
Simple, cheat:
http://i.imgur.com/qiqqcwc.png
Oh god, I’ve misread this replies haha, the Leather in question would be her.. Bra thing, not her skin hahaha
You said ‘this’ XD
I assumed leather because technically leather is cow hide, i.e. skin.
Which bit exactly, the grey or the brown?
The brown. ‘My bad, should have been more specific.
Better?
http://i.imgur.com/RjU7ZmY.png
Yup. Thank you. Now I just have to try and replicate a similar look in a pokemon-ish style.
I’d say do scuff marks (soft medium brush cross hatching) and maybe a few dots of highlight and shade (look at an orange if need be).
Or you could just do what I did 😛
Out of interest, what art program are you using?
Paint tool SAI
Ah, explains the approach you’re taking 😛
Lol what’s that mean?
Very handdrawy, little abuse of textures via alpha.
And presumably the image is ‘set in stone’ rather than being a group of verticies/beziers, but I could be wrong.
Oh Yeah I never use textures / stocks. Imo it just seems lazy.
As for the hand-drawn look, this is just how I sketch. I make actual lineart once I’m happy with it. I still have the body / arms to do before I move on to that though.
Fair enough.
Textures are lazy, but if you were making these things as a job, Laziness = less time for similar results = more profit.
Fair point.
*Projectile Vomit*
Show me a better version and I’ll forget you said that.
Is this like Alolan Jynx or something?
Yeah, A friend wanted me to make them one.
Nice do you have the rest of the body designed yet?
Not yet.
