Today’s Question:
QotD: You are on the pokemon regional design committee, what pokemon would you change? (This was a suggested question)

Helpful Considerations: Shadow Pokemon? Gamma pokemon? One piece devil fruit themed pokemon?

Scrap the department and create original designs

Regional forms are the worst

As with all experiments, they do come up with a few great ones

Hopefully there’s an Electric/Dragon dark nimbus form of Altaria

Idk just make them new Pokemon and change them a little more. It feels lazy, and nostalgia pandering

Clodsire is a new Pokemon just evolved from a regional.

I do like all of those except Arcanine though.

I’d even argue that Vulpix, Ninetales, Zorua and Zoroark are better than the originals.

As for the thread question, I think Golem would’ve been better suited to Rock/Fire with the lava in between the cracks. I think I saw fan art like that which looked incredible.

H-Growlithe should’ve evolved into a new Pokemon that looks like the Chinese stone lion- and I think there was a beta Pokemon from Gen 1/2 that already had that aesthetic.

I really like them — feels like we explore the pokemon world a bit more when we get variations from newly discovered areas.

The pessimist in me thinks that variations of famous and (often) well-designed Pokemon are better than new crappy designs! :sweat_smile:
