JosephMD Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I basically feel like it just takes away from the classic feel that Pokemon gives. In I mean, I don't want to start a flame war here, but whether you want to admit it or not, Mega Evos are VERY similar to Digimon, and I feel like it takes away some of the individuality that Pokemon had. Also, to me, most of the mega evos ended up looking much worse than their originals to me. Granted, some have decently cool designs, and it's not going to ruin the series for me or anything drastic, but I'd prefer that they'd never been made. (Braces for potential hate wave) Hate wave? Well, you're getting two thumbs up from me. I feel like most of the mega evo designs lacked a lot of creativity. For most of the pokemon, all the designers did was add horns and spikes, sharpness, extra protrusions, wings, or extra features that were already on the pokemon. Added Features that, in my obviously biased opinion, I don't really like b/c of the lack of creativity. Also reasons as to why they have the new features Houndoom: Moar horns and a sharp chest plate. Probably got these changes to make it more demonic-like, but it doesn't look like that to me. Manectric: Shaaarrrrper and lightning bolt style mane.......a BIGGER mane. Probably to emphasize the fact that it's an electric type (LIGHTNINGBOLT). It's as if the designer thought that manectic didn't look like an electric type. Gyarados: A fin and a bigger body. Probably to make it more intimidating. After all it looks much darker and bigger. Alakazam: whiskers turned into a beard and there are moar spoons. Probably to give it an elderly and wise appearance. Pinsir: Bigger protrusions in its horns...and wings...YOu know, to make it more like a bug. Just look at those wings.. Gardevoir: A dress turned into ballroom gown..........eh? (still one of my favorites tho....I REALLY don't like the in-game model, but the actual art looks okay to me (obvious biased gardevoir fan)) Medicham: Headdress-turban like object and wing-looking things.....To give the Meditate pokemon a more meditation focused theme perhaps? Aerodactyl: Rocky spikes...... To make the fossil pokemon look like a Gigalith b/c obviously moar rocks == ancient pokemon Abomasnow: Moar leaves? Forest-like look? Scizor: Popsicle stick-like legs and BIGGER claws..I dunno. They wanted to make scizor look cooler I suppose...but they obviously tried too hard. Tyranitar: moar spikes and spikes that make it look like it has wings. I can't guess why they would want to add spikes to tyranitar. Aggron: MORE SPIKES AGAIN and bulkier. Probably to emphasize mega aggron's super high defenses and overall bulkyness. Gengar: Added features? What featu..oh! Moar spikes! Wow! No seriously, why? Kangaskhan: Kangaskhan evolved int....oh wait the baby just cam out of the pouch. That's all. Reason for why this happened? Because Double power up punch is totally fair. Venusaur: Moar flowers Blastoise: Arm cannons.. self explanatory. Absol: LOST ITS SHARPNESS. First time I actually hate how a mega pokemon got sharper. I know they were pulling off some "angel that was once misunderstood and branded as a disaster causer because of its intimidating appearance and nature" look for absol, but its original form looked much more appealing, in my obviously biased opinion. I hate how absol's badass head scythe turned into a curvy teardrop Ampharos: Super saiyan. Designs with a few added features but were pulled off very well (in my obviously biased opinion) Heragross: BIGGER EVERYTHING and more beetle like appearance. Honestly, I feel like this can pass off as an actual evolution for Heracross. Banette: Arm jaws, moar zippers. Gives it a more frightening look which I love to look for in a ghost pokemon based off of a demented doll. Mawile: Pants and an extra jaw, kind of like what they did with alakazam and the extra spoons. But the overall design look really appealing to me. Annnywaaay.....I'm too lazy to deal with the other pokemon and I just spent 30+ minutes working on this long thing that most people won't read. tl:dr Long and angry rant is a long and angry rant. In my obviously biased opinion, a lot of the mega pokemon's designs lacked creativity and just lost its appeal. But there are other pokemon, despite the addition of a couple extra features, a few pokemon's designs were executed really well that makes them a cut above the rest...IN MY OBVIOUSLY BIASED OPINION Edited November 20, 2013 by JosephMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Flux, why would you get flamed for that? Be content with the knowledge that 99% of the fandom disagrees with you. Everyones entitles to their own opinions, no matter how bizarre they may be. Well, it was mostly in good humor, but it's good to know that that probably won't happen here anyway. I guess I'm just used to harsher forums where opinions that disagree with the majority are attacked... Besides, better to brace myself and have nothing happen than to be unprepared, right? Anyway, back on topic-ish. JosephMD, know that I did actually read that. For the most part I agree with it, although there might be a few more added that I do like the designs of. Also, I personally dislike the design of Mega Heracross. It just seems... weird to me. I think it's mostly because I don't like the thing they added on his face... It always seems like a nose to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
