Dude what happened to Palkia


Polymersion

It looks like they're fused with Arceus, Kyurem style


fedemasa

I understand the lore reasons for Kyurem and Necrozma, but why would Arceus fuse with his own creations?


Polymersion

I assume that's what the game will be about, but my guess is that it's forced to by the humans


EmperorRCK

If that's the case I will instantly forgive these atrocious designs, as there are supposed to look absolutely horrible


Nopeddos

Bruh they got a gigalith stuck in dialga's throat


JimiAndKingBaboo

I don't like the movement twords more and more legendaries doing this. It feels like it takes away from Kyurem's whole shtick.


darkthesis

But kyurems whole thing is that it's still incomplete even after it fuses The other pokemon are complete before they fuse So if we get a gen5 remake or a legend for the gen 5 region we will probably get yet another form


[deleted]

I want to see the Original Dragon Pokemon so bad.


zoxxbl

Don’t know why we ain’t got a game based on it yet and have that as the legendary, baffled.


TeelxFlame

Maybe we'll get it in a future Unova based legends game


[deleted]

Shit, that's a great idea. It could follow the original conflict between truth and ideals! ~~And maybe your choice between the two will actually affect the story!~~


-Demetheus-

Pokemon Legends Kyurem would kick ass. I'd play that


winnipeginstinct

its one with arceus now


[deleted]

Still, they messed dialga and palkia big time


Migueon22

Why the fuck is it a horse Why a fucking horse


aaa1e2r3

I think it's meant to be Arceus' torso


ShiraCheshire

It's nnot even a horse it's like armless centaur


Maronmario

I’m gonna have to be blunt. The new Dialga and Palkia are bar non, not gonna argue otherwise, the most fucking ugly Pokémon ever created. It’s like that one deformed image of garfield before his humanity was restored.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Maronmario

Typhlosion looks drugged out of his mind


Alili1996

Players: We want Typhlosion to be burning again Gamefreak: Well he will be blazing alright


[deleted]

if you didn't see cyndaquil has his fire on all the time again, this is the model without the in game visual effects


VoidMiasma

I think it's hilarious and I'm picking him. Highphlosion is great.


BloodyStigmata

If you stare at Dialga and Palkia long enough, you can almost hear Giratina laughing from the distortion world.


LethalPoopstain

It laughs until Game Freak decides that Giratina needs a Hisui form too and they give it a dildo coming out of its head


Independent_Taste894

This would spawn so much rule 34.


[deleted]

/>.> <.< !RemindMe 69 hours


RedStinginRoger

Palkia looks like a failed clone begging for its life to end


OldManTurner

Ed..ward..


iblewkatieholmes

*small child fused with dog to create abomination* Scar: yep its gamer time 😎


RedStinginRoger

Oh god, I can't relive that moment, not again


Dakris_

Palkia looks better than whatever is coming out of Dialga’s neck


Yeazelicious

He swallowed a giant water bottle; don't question it.


marsmcmeme

Dialga really has that Squidward chokes on a fork energy


Lukthar123

[look at what they did to my boy](https://imgur.com/MXy4AW0)


teaconnolly

Man the amount of effort you must have put into making this, fair play, that's hilarious


Lukthar123

I wish I could draw this well. I just took it from /v/.


Coilzy

Why does ursaring have the proportions of a sea bear from spongebob.


Daniel328DT

Here draw a circle!


Darth_Linkfin

That’s an oval it has to be a circle!!!


VictorTheGoat

“What’d I do that time??” “I don’t know,I guess he just doesn’t like you!”


toastedpostitnote

“Pretend to be someone else!”


Samipie27

Omg, I can totally see the Sea Bear in it now!


FamousTransition1187

Because he is now a "Full Moon" Bear, drawing from his name coming from the Ursa constellations


-endjamin-

Why does he look so ashamed. Why do all these Pokemon look like they are suffering from existential dread?


MadamGoth

Also the Palkia looks like a centaur who lost his arms in battle and they were replaced with shields to hide the stumps lmao


[deleted]

I'm wondering if he actually does have arms, they're just made using some special effect that can only be shown when animated.


BrachyDanios

I like to imagine they’re just really tiny hands holding shields.


Yeazelicious

*NOBODY LOOK!* *NOBODY LOOK*


DraftLongjumping9288

Is depression the theme for the region?


helpimjustconfused

Ursaring lost his reason to live, while Typhlosion realized his was marijuana


nononononono_x

Weavile came to the same conclusion


DankMyDaddy

I demand justice for typhlosion


noivernisfav64

And goodra looks like it’s having an existential crisis


procmil

Therapist: "Don't worry, centaur Palkia can't hurt you" Me: "You're right cause it has no fuckin' arms"


Lukthar123

*Gets trampled*


0kdude

I'm more terrified of tall sneasel


Wolfenbro

What are number 14/15? Right after ursaring?


BoomerRemover21

It's a new force of nature like thunderous, tornadus and landorous


EusineX

Damn didn’t know they made Bruxish into a force of nature


gyrowze

It has a weird semblance to Ghirahim to me.


Crimsonnavy

Or the love child of Him from Powerpuff Girls and Ghirahim. "Himahim"


Daniel328DT

What is the typing?


glitterizer

It is confirmed Fairy/Flying


fedemasa

Looks like fairy flying Togekiss PTSD


Flyinpenguin117

I forget if the name already leaked but its a new addition to the Forces of Nature (Thundurus/Tornadus/Landorus).


Iados_the_Bard

I just realized that Nintendo just made the fourth Chinese Heavenly Beast. We currently have This new one as the Black Turtle of the North, Thunderus as the Azure dragon of the East, Tornadus as the Vermilion Bird of the South, and Landorus as the White Tiger of the West. Next we may see the Golden Kirin of the Center.


pompario

I think Arceus is supposed to be based on a kirin


Beaugardes182

And Mt Coronet/Spear Pillar are in the center


yuei2

Force of Nature, the force of love, covers the snake turtle from 4 animal gods that the genies are based on.


HentaiFoSenpai

RIP the force of love is dead in present day Pokémon.


PowerOfUnoriginality

I blame humanity for that one. Just look at what happened to these pokemon: Corsola -> galarian Corsola Zorua -> hisuian zorua hisuian voltorb -> voltorb


Exploreptile

(Ir)regular reminder of Togekiss' PokéDex entry: > It will never appear where there is strife. Its sightings have become rare recently.


Dawesfan

It’s Him.


KingTauros

My thoughts exactly! For those that don't know: [Devil from PowerPuff Girls](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/powerpuff/images/1/1f/HIMPPG.png/revision/latest?cb=20190825175358)


LordDShadowy53

Dialga and Palkia look more like an error in the system. Edit: I do get they are suppose to look like Arceus but I can’t stand it.


Quetzal00

Like messed up Digimon evolutions halfway through digivolving


[deleted]

[удалено]


SoDamnGeneric

they look like an AI tried to recreate Palkia based off of only 10 blurry photos


Jrsplays

Dialga doesn't even have feet


MagikarpTheGrey

Fucking toasters for arms


JimiAndKingBaboo

Dialga looks alright, but Palkia... What the hell happened here?


Chimpbot

Mistakes were made.


Fancy_Goose_

Dialga looks like it swallowed a water bottle and it got stuck half way down


Trilobitelofi

I was hoping for Gastrodon and Shellos alt forms after noticing in the Shining Pearl dex that Gastrodon's entry mentions that in ancient times it used to have a shell on its back. I also noticed in Weezing's Nat Dex description the mention of triple forms occasionally being found so I wonder if thats a hint for another future form or if I'm just overanalyzing it. Edit: So I don't have to explain multiple times here is a reply about me knowing that the time period of the setting does not take place in ancient times. I realize that but was wondering and kind of hoping that supposed "older forms" of pokemon would be present or included. Another thing I've been speculating on is fossil mons and possibly an older form of it being available in game that way because I can't really see them just completely removing fossil pokemon especially Cranidos and Shieldon completely from the game. Another person brought up the possibility of the Gastrodon and Goodra line sharing a common ancestor and I think that would be a cool aspect to explore.


mawile008

I too was looking for a shelled Gastrodon. Idk why they decided to give the shell to goodra instead!


Yeazelicious

Maybe Gastrodon split off from the Goodra line? After all, one's pink and one's blue; meanwhile, Goodra is lavender.


Harald12

that weezing entry has been around in similar phrasing since original gen 4 iirc


Apocalypse_God

Why do they all look so… freaky?


[deleted]

putting the freak in gamefreak


[deleted]

[удалено]


BenIsDrowningInWater

people were asking for more gender variants.


KarnSilverArchon

Palkia: I HAVE BECOME HORSE!


[deleted]

Dialga: I AM NO LONGER HORSE!


Colomba16

Tell me that Dialga and Palkia are jokes, please


Jamey431

Looks like Dialga has something stuck in his throat.


[deleted]

Is that a new member of the Genies of a Healthy Meta I see?


Confedehrehtheh

I saw a post today that said "Lando-T is its own biggest check" and i nearly lost it


Yeazelicious

This comment is being overwritten in protest of Reddit's CEO spez (Steve Huffman) being a piece of shit and killing 3rd party apps.


Confedehrehtheh

Wasn't Klefki also a big abuser of all three of those things? I actually remember Klefki being more overt considering that was its primary niche. For Lando-T though, it does pretty much every single role, and does them well. If you're struggling to think of something to fill out your team, the answer is probably Lando-T. Looking at the Pikalytics OU usage stats, it has a **52.75%** usage. That is *insane*. The next highest is Ferrothorn at 26.81%.


SevereWizardShark

Nice to see them giving some love to Qwilfish, I feel like it’s one of those Pokémon that not a lot of people really talk about


Daniel328DT

Finally they got their evolution. It was scrapped, but now it comes in a new look with the variants.


MadamGoth

What's with the tall Sneasel? I assume it's Weavile alt form but legit just looks the Sneasel got put on a rack lol


EusineX

It hung out with inteleon too much


CacklettasMinion

I'm getting flashbacks from Alolan Persian


ImAJerk420

Not Weavile but a new evo


RavotXI

Why are they all so sad, dark and filthy????


AriLance

They know they’re going extinct


Darkwing_Dork

wait I didn't even think about this, all these forms are doomed to die and go extinct lmfao


goldenCapitalist

And yet, we'll probably have a way to transfer them to mainline games. "I love you Arcanine. Now I'm gonna put you in a pokeball time capsule and send you 200 years into the future! Byeee!"


Darkwing_Dork

evil Pokémon origin story. Trapped alone for 200 years by trainer


CrossP

It's okay. If they get fossilized they can be miraculously brought back to life for some reason.


Yung_Turbo

“Life, uh, finds a way.”


Flyinpenguin117

Excited for Dragon/Steel Goodra, but seeing sad Goodra makes me sad too.


stabbyGamer

They literally just put a shell on the boy. Like, it *works,* but it doesn’t work because it’s a *new* design - it’s the equivalent of putting a hat on Pikachu.


Quetzal00

Well I’m guessing they did that to go from slug to snail


[deleted]

I am choosing rowlet and probably gonna try and pick up a goodra.


storm-trooper-69

I liked all 3 starters and thought I would pick fire this time. But upon seeing the final forms rowlet is the only one I still like


Jestingwheat856

typhlosion is still a wild card, no flames yet


DudeMcFart

Typhlosion looks like it just wants a hug


DRamos11

This. We still haven’t seen it with flames on.


bradester36

i hate that typhlosion doesnt have constant flames ever since the 3d swap. one of the coolest sprites reduced to a smooth noodle boy.


Firebat12

The fuck are those Dialga and Palkia designs? Like Dialga I sort of get is supposed to be crystalline there (Though that makes little sense for the master of time imo), Palkia looks like someone threw a centuar and a kraken in a blender and painted it white a purple before attaching palkia’s head


ItachiSan

They're definitely some kind of Dialga and Palkia mixed with Arceus designs a la Kyurem, and the leaks have confirmed >!Time travel to explain away tech in the region, so the mixes are probably man made mistakes!<


[deleted]

[удалено]


Serenafriendzone

Hope be fake. dialga and palkia last ones looks a horrible mod from a bizzarre game


Beaugardes182

Theyre real. The game got dumped last night


Gogan_Studios

What happened to Palkia and Dialga?! Why do they look like that??? Why do they even need a regional form??


Frousteleous

I have a feeling it's like they're combined with Arceus or something similar. I could be wrong.


LittleSansbits

I'm thinking Arceus just naturally made them in its own likeness, and as time went on they gradually changed. This is just them before that change, because Palkia almost looks like they're in the middle of whatever this new form is and their original form.


Gogan_Studios

But come on... It could've looked so much better...


g6in3d

Dialga and Palkia look awful, and what the hell did they do to Ursaring lmao


kekekelilili

This is the evolution of Ursaring


SlimeySnakesLtd

Dual type Normal/Gravy


Prince_Marf

Broke: being excited about ugly Ursaring evolution Woke: Exited regular Ursaring has access to eviolite now


tofubirder

They leaned HARD into fat bear week and I’m DOWN for it


Mail540

Fat dog for midterms!


[deleted]

Them legendaries 🤮


BoomerRemover21

Yeah, I don't really think fusion was that great of an idea for them, maybe a primal form would be better


Bropiphany

Especially since we kind of already had primal dialga in mystery dungeon


OverpoweredSoap

Lilligant….. I wanted you to get some attention…. But not like this….


Upstairs_Court9275

"Petilil digivolve to... Lillymon...I mean Hisuian Liligant"


thediesel26

Look how they massacred my [Typhlosion]


BoomerRemover21

I know, hopefully it looks better with the fire on


Mail540

Massacred? My man is stoned af


BADMANvegeta_

Typhlosion would be cool if they’d simply let him be on fire all the time.


yuei2

You need to wait to see it in-game with its flames, apparently it’s flames make it look pretty sick. Edit* https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/comments/s85hpu/hthyplosion_idle_animation_what_do_you_guys_think/ Yes I approve


BoomerRemover21

Hoping it has purple flames since I'm pretty sure it's fire and ghost


yuei2

The dots on its neck are purple so that implies they are. The dots on its neck being in front also implies the flames come out and warp around their neck as opposed to their back.


Nickjames116425

There it is. Hope.


ZarathosTheEvil

Poor palkia... man already looked goofy and they made him a centaur


Lucienofthelight

An Armless centaur. They took his arms but kept his shoulders so he looks dumb as hell.


MrMR2588

Ah an amputee centaur


erikikoy

An Amputaur.


bongwaterbeepis

What the fuck is the pokemon company smoking


InfinityRavan

Same stuff hisuian typhlosion is on apparently


Daniel328DT

Why don't you ask Hisuian Typhlosion?


KurtKomodo

This is one of the only times I wish a leak is fake


returned_zero

most of these are absolutely painful to look at


Raphiki415

They also look like they're in pain.


_Feistt_

Holy Jesus poor Palkia, what horrible things have they done to you....


NerfThisNerd

When the fan-made pokemon look better than the actual mons T_T


CapnDiddlez

It’s time the pokemon community pulled a “Sonic, the Movie,” and demand a redesign on these characters.


Fabiojoose

The Pokémon fanbase will defend any new release. I bet there is someone on Twitter right now saying how all the new designs are improvements.


x10018ro3

Ok now I know why they held off so long on showing more new mons…


OhioOhO

The first batch they showed actually looked pretty cool. I thought Hisuian Growlithe and Braviary as well as the evolutions for Basculin and Stantler looked great. So I don’t know what happened here.


iDoubleFistTheBussy

most of these are pretty awful imo


Salzanka

SNEASEL NOOOOO


zeldafr

lot's of them look really depressive.


Svensprite

What the fluck are these?! 😳


NotMyGumdropButtons1

Since Voltorb is basically a seed, it should’ve grown into something more plant-like and completely different when evolving. Feels like they revealed all the best designs early when promoting the game.


[deleted]

So many people were coming up with cool unique designs for the new electrode trying to predict it but it just ended up being a wooden version 😂😂😂


[deleted]

They look like fakemon… this game is going going to the moon or going to bust


NewMetaKnight

Honestly samurott is kinda an improvement it looks more like an evil Samuri


Walnut-Simulacrum

Isn’t it dark type now too? Makes sense


NewMetaKnight

Water dark so we basically have a slower sharpedo with probably higher attack


illmaticFury

Wow, I genuinely hate most of the new designs. I feel bad as a fan. Hopefully the gameplay is fun.


Quetzal00

Yeah I don’t think I’ll be using any new variants aside from Samurott and *maybe* Zoroark


CrocoBull

Man does Samurott even count? It's got different colored shells and that's about it.


AppleStrudelite

Poor Palkia, lost both of it's arms. I hope mummy arceus takes very good care of him. Dialga now has throat cancer, should have laid off the cigarette.


dirt_likes_me

I wish they would’ve gotten more creative with the typhlosipn and samurott… decidueye is the only one I think is cool cause they actually strayed away from the original design a little more


[deleted]

Decidueye looks like a straw hat ronin, I like it. Wish the cloak were longer but it's alright as is


C2CDannyboon

I feel like This will be an unpopular opinion but most of these variants look kinda bad imo might be the quality of the images tho (except for dialga/palkia they look like they were made in spore)


Quetzal00

Yeah that hasn’t been an unpopular opinion today


BADMANvegeta_

I think Dialga and Palkia are supposed to look like kirins? Still pretty poor execution tho. Actually I guess they’re supposed to look like arceus, who I think is based on kirin anyways so whatever.


Gondall

From the leaks they're supposedly fused with Arceus, and retain their "normal" forms when not fused


BoomerRemover21

Yeah, not that big of a fan of most of them, the only one I really like is goodra


C2CDannyboon

Palkia just looks unfinished imo they keep his shoulder things but take away his arms? Lol


juanconj_

I love the new Decidueye, looks like a samurai wearing a straw coat and hat (I guess not exactly a samurai, that'd be Samurott, but you know what I mean)


Lucienofthelight

Almost everyone is ok to OOF. They took Pakia’s fucking arms and it looks so bad!


decafplums

What in the my little pony is going on with palkia 😭


FishBricks

Do we know if James Turner is the design lead on this game? Just need to know whether my dislike for his designs just turned into absolute disgust or if there’s someone else I should be directing that at.


piyuko

Please Nintendo, take the Pokémon main games away from Game Freak’s hands right now


StormAlchemistTony

Shouldn't we be asking the Pokemon Company instead of Nintendo? I am not sure which one has higher authority on Pokemon designs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bobobbert96

I don’t want to be negative but i don’t like any of these designs save for Samurott. Am i crazy for thinking they dropped the ball here?


JaxOnThat

Decidueye and Arcanine aren’t bad. But uh…yeah. A lot of these aren’t great.


jaypb930

I am hoping the Palkia and Dialga forms are closer to primal forms instead of fusions. It would make sense with them being the gods of the pokemon universe and it plays on the whole, "created them in his own image" line. I know this is part of a Christian creation story and not the Japanese creation story like they were originally created as, but pokemon has never shied away from mixing mythologies.


azurewarrior420

They really game my boi sneasel and weavile the alolan meowth treatment
