Yeah, I get what you mean, and I was kind of expecting the same thing as you, but I was pleasantly surprised with this design because it was something new, unexpected, and I like the interpretation of underhanded tricks being the dark type staple. I was kinda worried it's just become a cat version of Houndoom, the hellhound. So to me, it's a nice surprise.
Enjoy your trip then. Yeah we should do another FF Talk when you get back. I feel my issue with Litten was that while I was suspecting more of "big cat" design, I wanted something that showed off his Dark attribute better because wrestler scream fighting type to me. I imagined he would be bigger but more sleeker with an almost shadow quality to it's silhouette. Kind of like the Shadow beasts from Devil May Cry 1.
Btw, I'll be on vacation until the 16th, but I was thinking we could do another FF Talk after I get back? Psy mentioned doing stuff that's more general than just news, and I figured it was fun last time and there's tons of FF and SE-related stuff we could talk about anyway. What do you think?
yeah, I really don't get the hate the humanoid designs get. Especially compared to the fan evolutions people make before all the evolutions are officially revealed. Everyone seems to call them awesome, when I'm just baffled by how simple and uninspired they are. Usually the fan evos are just bigger, with maybe an additional beard or somethign, which is way off base, since even in gen 1 starter evolutions were not that simple. I mean, look at these gen 6 fan evolutions. I mean, those are really nothing compared to Delphox, Greninja and Chesnaught, which I think all are awesome.And then I see things like these for the gen 7 starters and part of me kinda understands why they feel disappointed with the wrestling tiger because it's something completely different, but it's also just way more awesome than simply a bigger cat. I mean, I guess Bulbasaur just got bigger with each evolution, but both Blastoise and Charizard look very different from their initial forms. I find it hilarious how people are complaining that Game Freak are unoriginal with Pokemon designs when the things they make up themselves are way less inspired.
Same here, her design is really cool looking and its not like we haven't had humanoid Pokemon since the first gen.
Yeah, it was pretty cool! Again, a lot of fans took issue with her being so anthropomorphic, but I really thought the witch theme was a cool and original design choice.
I'll see how I feel when I get to that Gen. I do really like Fenneck and her evolved designs.
I mean, I was surprised too, but there's just something about its design that just makes me love it! Oh well. I'm fine being in the minority again. No one liked Emboar either, but he's still my fav starter to date.
I think it's partly because he looks like another Fighter/Fire type, though I was also thrown off since his early forms look more sleek and finesse, so feral man-tiger was not really what I was expecting for it's final form.
I'm upset the tiger wrestler is getting so much hate
