sick of all this fucking DEI in japan, a country with like 9 black people
DEI in japan would probably include white people too I guess but that wouldn't be a problem for them.
Trying to convince chuds that it was DEI when they let James Turner design the cringe woke Vanillite line (it's just ice cream, we hate object design pokemon now for some reason)
The largest racial minority in Japan is US troops (idk if that's true but I read it somewhere and it sounds provocative and interesting so I repeat it a lot) so really the DEI is every time an anime character is white or American.
"what happened to pokemon designs" is you're 40 years old now, you are no longer the target audience
Honestly the Pokedex does need a thorough purge. Get rid of all of the fap bait, the "humans in a costume", and the gimmickmon (that includes all mega evolutions).
I blame the decline of Digimon, which lead to the Digimonfication of Pokemon design.
fap bait
Look at the original design. Angewomamon from Digimon this critter ain't
If someone wants to fuck this thing it says more about them than Game Freak. I don't think it's Game Freak's fault weird nerds oversexualise anything even vaguely girl-shaped
Also that Wikipedia article is fucking hilarious
I don't think the humanoids are so bad, just overrepresented and maybe a little too human (contrast Mewtwo)
And the gimmicks are fun
I'm a gen oner and I say that every Pokemon should be based on an animal or object!
pay no attention to polywhirl, abra, machop, hitmonlee, hitmonchan, mr mime, jynx, or mewtwo
Sprigatito becoming a humanoid cat is top 10 worst gamefreak decision
I honestly like the final stage's design (mostly the mask), but I do definitely agree that there's a massive over-representation of humanoids in starter lines generally
Dragonite should mega evolve into a straight white man. A normal, relatable, straight white divorced man who likes to knock a couple of beers back every now and then which is perfectly normal and no reason for that b***h Evelyn to take his Mega Dragonite kids.
Hard agree. No penis NO PURCHASE. Bring back the original 151 in their ORIGINAL form, with FULL PENIS.
Pokemon designs have never been good
Even the originals were just semi-random animals and objects turned into "monsters" and they looked weird. They got anime-fied to be cuter later. And they have only gotten increasingly more abstract and dumb. New switch pokemon had ones that turned into motorcycles.
Only Bulbasaur is free of my wrath.
While I know where you're coming from clearly the designs are actually really good in context (of being for children).
The lizard motorcycles are one of the good ones though. Except for the one that looks like a motorcycle but runs on its feet anyway, that's dumb as hell.
The real DEI was when they let some woke artist design dragonite after stealing it right out of the hands of based Atsuko Nishida (who designed dratini and dragonair)
Why does dragonite look like a stupid orange Barney dragon instead of a beautiful blue serpentine dragon? And why does its shiny suck ass? That's right, it's because of woke.
Nintendont is doing DEI by giving megaevolutions to the already good mons like the pseudolegendaries instead of the humble shitmons like magcargo and ledyba
Give Muk a Mega!
Shouldn't these guys be out their trying to boost white birth rates instead of worrying about a kids computer game?
I'm afraid it's connected for them libertarian approaches emoji
I remember being 12 years old, lying down in bed during a midsummer afternoon staring into space after having just woken up. Sunlight entered my room but the shadow of the dresser draped over a contrastingly dark area.
I thought I saw a dog in that dark pit. I swear it was staring back at me. I stared at it for a long time, afraid to get up. What if this was part of a robbery, and the dog’s here to make sure I don’t do any funny business? What if it attacks if I get up?
I know I was hallucinating as a dumb teenager, but this was a formative experience for me, and it’s the reason why I’m a staunch advocate against DEI. I hate minorities.
those disgusting minorities sending their evil brainwaves to make you hallucinate a scary dog, I now hate DEI too
My Pokemon flag only has 151 stars, I'll be dead in the ground before I recognize Chikorita
For real why the fuck gamefreak decided to drop mega evolutions after gen 6 literally the most marketable and exciting "gimmick" and they drop it for ten billion other gimmicks?
Doesnt even make sense from a souless money company perspective reallt.
But what if instead of having this cool new design they can turn into, they just got big? Or had scary red eyes?
why are the wings on his head?
why are the wings on his head DEI?
DEI chin
DEI head-wings
No no, he's on to something; I personally know someone with a PhD in imagining Pokémon monsters who got passed up for someone from a minority who only had like a bachelor's degree....in imagining Pokémon monsters
DEIgonite
What happened here? Curious.
There was a pokemon direct and gamefreak showed the new mega evolution for dragonite from the new pokemon legends game. And chuds cant stop complaining about DEI in everything
That's genuinely pretty funny, I love how broken they are. Thanks for explaining!
But I was making a reference to that tinyman square post we had a while back.
Can we talk about all future paradox pokemon being dumb robots and how this optimism shows an ideological shift compared to gen 1 whose over 30 poison types signified a cynicism towards modernity that is now gone.
These are all the same people in grade school who would call you a loser for liking Pokemon and not Call of Duty.
Can’t the bros just stick to Call of Duty and leave actual gamers alone?
"DEI Dragonite" is funny though lol
So they believe DEI is holding back people with a talent for.....imagining?
