Konril Posted October 17 Posted October 17 We could've gotten a peanut Pokémon. Probably scrapped because it is conceptually like the Breloom line. But I want it. 5
Konril Posted October 17 Posted October 17 This would've boosted from the blandness and the lack of post-game content for X and Y. GameFreak, when I catch you. 3 1
Ohno Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Killing myself in front of Masuda and Ohmori to avenge the künty flamingo with heels on 4 4
FOCK Posted October 17 Posted October 17 (edited) 4 hours ago, Ohno said: Why??? When you put them side by side like this it's easy to fall into the "why did we get ugly" line of thinking - but in this essay, I will demonstrate why that isn't really the case. Firstly, I doubt very much that the heel flamingo has anything to do with Aromatisse - she's not a flamingo, she's a can-can dancer, plague doctor, perfume bottle Pom-Pom puff - & is a counterpart to Slurpuff. The only similarity here is the color scheme. Second, we know that Gamefreak doesn't cycle through its concepts in a consecutive or orderly fashion - they've revisited generations old concepts for new mon inspo. A fairer comparison in this instance, would be to compare heel flamingo to Espartha - in which case, Espartha is the stronger design concept & theme. Finally, there is beauty & creativity in simplicity - Flamigo is not a bad design. It's like a yarn ball, neck looping, fighting, stretchy, camp, comical Flamingo. There are so many creative applications and touches packed into its multi-faceted features, combined into a simple & instantly familiar creature design - and has irl iconic plastic porch motifs to boot for sweet sweet merch opportunities. To pull all that off successfully is not by any means an easy feat & is something Pokemon very much excels at. Flamigo looks like a FRIEND. Heel Flamingo looks like a different, uninspired eff werd. She lacks that je ne sais quoi. Somebody lied to her and told her that she was fly, hot, sexy and beautiful, and she's nothing like that. She's nothing of the sort. Edited October 17 by FOCK 1 4 1

They couldve reused them for gen 8 instead of the ugly fusion fossils but they are lost forever most likely Also, concept of LIGHT YEARS better than the florges we got: 1
Magickarp Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I blame the FURRY ******* AGENDA. I can't believe Florges was an actual SEAHORSE fairy, & Aroma was an actual Flamingo, but no. They had to give them more human elements 1 1
FOCK Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Yeah Florges was much better. I despise the Florges we got. The original concepts for mega Blastoise >>> Maybe the complexity of animating these designs limited them. 3

Sprawl Posted October 17 Posted October 17 How did that cool skull bird get scrapped also Beta Florges looks miles better than what we got

Ewan Chaos Posted October 17 Posted October 17 The Beta Florges line oh my God the most robbed we've been so far based on all the leaks up until now.

UnusualBoy Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Some of these betas look insanely better than what we ended up with
Katamari Posted October 17 Posted October 17 yall would stan that high femme flamingo ot: jynx legend jynx icon jynx queen!
Konril Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Ice type robbed so hard. Bug doesn't need another weakness, Fire doesn't need another super effectiveness and Poison really needs that super effectiveness against Fairy though. 2
Magickarp Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Naurr I've always said should be immune to (too cold for fairy magic to activate etc), not a resistance actually being considered. should be SE on tho, cuz **** are scared of bugs x. 1 1

mathekr Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Apparently Mega Jynx went as far as a completed 3D model before being cut
