spring peeper
genuinely baffled by basculin(i think??) tho but like sure ok

STANTLER IS OVER FUCKING DUE, I'M GLAD IT'S GETTING RESPECT
Ash!!1
the basculin is apparently a ghost evo born of its DEAD BRETHREN
Ash!!1
having a normal one i see, pokemon
MOVED
--omg i didn't even realize it was stantler, i somehow thought it was sawsbuck, HELL YEAH STANTLER!!
spring peeper
the more i look at basculin the more i like it, actually
MOVED
i like it's grandpa face
Kyo
Basculin's lore is fucking horrifying
Kyo
like.... thanks Game Freak... I see you haven't lost your knack for fridge horror........
Ash!!1
right
Ash!!1
i also like that stantler looks like santa in a way
Ash!!1
a weird psychic santa
Ash!!1
i dig it
spring peeper
these regionals feel really good honestly
spring peeper
it feels... like
spring peeper
really pre-gen 5
spring peeper
in a good way
Ash!!1
yeah they're also like, really embracing the actual region it feels like?
spring peeper
which i know is partially because of the pokemon they come from but also gen 4 had some wild-ass evos that were ????? so
Ash!!1
YEAH LOL
spring peeper
stares directly at rhyperior
Ash!!1
gen 4 was very hit or miss
dragillionaire
OH NO I LOVE IT
Ash!!1
all the special item evols like--yeah ryperior and magmortar and such
Ash!!1
gawd tho WHY MUST I WORK
spring peeper
MAGNEZONE IS LIKE
Ash!!1
WHEN I COULD BE DRAWING CUTE FUU DOG GROWLITHES
spring peeper
A REALLY GOOD AND WEIRD DESIGN
dragillionaire
is this for the upcoming game.....
spring peeper
BUT RHYPERIOR AND ELECTIVIRE ??????
spring peeper
i think this is for Journeys yeah
spring peeper
or w/e its called
Ash!!1
i like electivire but purely cuz the anime won me over
Ash!!1
it looks so much better in motion, same with magmortar
Ash!!1
but its still fucking weird
spring peeper
valid
plusqueparfait
BASCULIN
spring peeper
i cant get over stantlerevo's minecraft villager face
spring peeper
i know stantler just Looks Like This but.
plusqueparfait
but yeah it feels like the majority of the new pokemon introduced in gen 4 were just direct relatives of some other pokemon who already existed
plusqueparfait
such as roserade the best one (obligatory as long as I have this screenname)
spring peeper
i don't think that's true i just think we remember the evos because they were fuckin weird
Ash!!1
ROSERADE IS V GOOD TO BE FAIR
Ash!!1
this tuxedo mask mcfukkin plant
plusqueparfait
"majority" does seem unlikely mathematically but it's a lot
spring peeper
roserade IS good and is not one of the pkmn that jumps to mind when i think of "weird shit from gen 4"
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
Gen 4 did give us Gliscor though so like!!!!
spring peeper
i think gen 4 had some design weirdness all around honestly
plusqueparfait
wormadam is always the one I think of for some reason
plusqueparfait
of being weird
Ash!!1
wormadam is super weird cuz there's like 4 forms
Ash!!1
3 for the females and then the male is a moth???
Ash!!1
u okay bagworm
spring peeper
WORMADAM IS SO WEIRD
plusqueparfait
god though if you look at the pokedex these are all in a row 
plusqueparfait
there are more in a row these are just illustrative of Weird
spring peeper
god. fuck. i forgot about lickylicki
spring peeper
lickilicky?
spring peeper
fuck that name
Ash!!1
LICKILICKY!!!!
plusqueparfait
Probopass is in this gen too
☆SUGAR☆RIOT☆
Tangrowth is best cryptid
plusqueparfait
yeah there's some cursed uncle energy in a lot of these guys even if there are also cool uncles
spring peeper
GOD THERE REALLY ARE A FUCK TON OF EVOS IN GEN 4
spring peeper
WHY!!! FOR WHAT REASON
plusqueparfait
all the family members that pokemon left behind in the frozen north
𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔬💀𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔶
Something something spacetime wobbles making more evolutions
spring peeper
the one poke that always comes to mind for weird-ass design for me is honestly carnivine
spring peeper
there's nothing even explicitly like, Off about it, it just feels weird to look at
Ash!!1
it looks like a 70s mcdonald's mascot
plusqueparfait
I agree with this statement
plusqueparfait
it does. like it's the salad mascot
plusqueparfait
it looks like fast food salads taste
spring peeper
Ash!!1
: FUCK
Ash!!1
gen 4 in general had a lot of like. weird angular/geometric designs?? that threw me off
spring peeper
ITS JUST A FUCKING ANTHRO HAMBURGER
Ash!!1
i liked a lot of them but they felt less organic than most
Ash!!1
IT REALLY IS
spring peeper
yeah a lot of them were very ??? feelings
spring peeper
like... shinx like good
spring peeper
starly line is on notice
spring peeper
and theyre more organic feeling than most i think
Ash!!1
i'm hugely bias cuz the anime won me over on so many cuz d/p had crazy good animation (for its time)
spring peeper
THAT'S FAIR
Ash!!1
that helped them look way more fluid in motion
Ash!!1
but on paper its like ?????? how does this work
spring peeper
rampardos is my baby tho
plusqueparfait
I think you're right, gen iv is like a transitional phase between old pokemon style and new pokemon style
plusqueparfait
gen iii is the one that I was always like. these are awkward ass teens. but gen iv has it too, and also I'm biased cuz I didn't play gen iii when it came out
spring peeper
gen 3 has some really, really fucking good designs imo
plusqueparfait
so in gen iv I had a lot of weird pokemon all at once
spring peeper
to the point where i will actively choose shitty shitty pokemon because i am so fond of them
spring peeper
gen 4 doesn't have so much of that for me
spring peeper
points directly at delcatty
spring peeper
you fucking suck but i love you
Ash!!1
delcatty is a CRIME
Ash!!1
what a cute fucking useless cat
spring peeper
i used delcatty for so fucking long for no reason
Ash!!1
that said gen 4 has purugly and i love it unironically
spring peeper
OH, NO, I LOVE PURUGLY
Ash!!1
love this horrible fat cat
spring peeper
it didn't improve on glameow's design much which is honestly perfect for a shitty cat but purugly is just SO FUNNY i can't help but love it
Ash!!1
right its concept is so silly i love it
Ash!!1
more bullshit like this
spring peeper
theres a few pokemon i love for reasons like that. just plain stupidity
spring peeper
toucannon? its just a toucan
spring peeper
did i explicitly use it as my main bird? absolutely
Ash!!1
i was so mad at toucannon for the longest time that it's looped around to appreciation
Ash!!1
you're just a toucan
spring peeper
it's just a toucan!
Ash!!1
they realized they coudln't improve on ur absurdity. valid
spring peeper
REAL BIRDS ARE JUST TOO FUCKING RIDICULOUS
Ash!!1
its true
Ash!!1
like in general the only pokemon i really actively dislike are like
Ash!!1
filler fish
Kyo
i unironically love Toucannon
Ash!!1
BUT HERE'S BASCULIN WITH AN EVO NOW SO LIKE
Kyo
just because it's deadass a toucan
Ash!!1
MAYBE THOSE AREN'T FILLER FISH ANYMORE
Kyo
nothing special about it, just a fucking toucan. even the beak thing isn't special. Toucans Are Like That
Kyo
tmw Pokemon realized they didn't need to make this bird any stranger than it already is
Ash!!1
a bird with a REALLY HOT BEAK!!!
vast energies
he's a good boy!!!!
Ash!!1
also okay i just watched the trailer and
Ash!!1
its really silly to say but I LIKE THAT SOME POKEMON ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO FUCK YOU UP
Ash!!1
YES, FINALLY EMPHASIS THAT ACTUALLY, THESE MAGICAL MONSTERS ARE FUCKING DANGEROUS

CLUTCHES CHEST
Kyo
i'm so glad that they're leaning harder into that Yes, Actually, Pokemon Can Be Dangerous
bwutawity
GASPS IT'S BASCULIN I LOVE IT
bwutawity
LOOK AT IT!!
bwutawity
I'm actually really into the Filler Fish Pokemon lol and Basc is a fave
bwutawity
And now look...my child
Levi
the biggest plot twist about Toucannon is that it actually makes sense as a Pikpek evolution because Toucans are part of the woodpecker family 
Ash!!1
bwutawity
: that is ENDEARING and i'm glad every pokemon has someone that loves it sob
Ash!!1
the joy of pokemon...
Levi
but yeah Gen IV was weird, for me it was mainly just unmemorable and I think part of the reason for that was that was that I think there just wasn't enough new mon designs compared to things that were just "a new evolution!" I like literally do not remember 90% of what happens in DP
Ash!!1
Levi
: YEAH POKEMON TAUGHT ME THAT. WILD
Ash!!1
Just like how chickadees are distantly related to crows/corvids. nature is crazy
Levi
the main things I do remember is 1. mauville is cool and 2. why did they create an E4 member specializing in fire when they literally do not have enough fire mons to fill out his team
spring peeper
to cause empoleon pain, specifically, i'm sure
spring peeper
stares at my empoleon being 1-hit ko by flamethrowers
Ash!!1
gawd i really loved infernape but again, anime
Ash!!1
and honestly the anime is probably what saved it from the fire/fighting hate
Ash!!1
that poor emboar got instead
spring peeper
genuinely can't understand why fire/fighting happened three times in a row
Ash!!1
it was REAL WEIRD
Levi
It probably also helped that at the time, Infernape had a cool design and was a very good mom in pvp
