I actually agree. I didn't even thought of it as a Pokémon until the game footage

First Gen 6 blunder

noivern is a piece of shit too

>>12885477 (OP)
I wasn't even a fan of Chandalure or whatever it is. They ran out of animals to make pokemon of.

>>12885477 (OP)
I agree, and I love vanilluxe and Magnezone is one of my fav.

>icicle

They're all in the same fucking boat, there's nothing different about this one. For the record I like all three.

Its a possesed sword that is able to sheath itself with its hand!

>>12885501
They didn't run out of animals. They're just going with the idea that ghosts possess real objects, which I really don't mind at all.

honestly yeah. I usually defend every new pokemon but this is...this is really ridiculous.

The only shit pokemon so far is Talonflame.

But Unown were fancy letters with eyes.

>>12885531
your ridiculous, and should die.

>>12885531
Fuck yeah. It's hideous. The idea is maybe not that bad but the design sucks balls FOR a pokemon. If that was some DQM monsters or other RPGs creatures yes, but this is a fucking pokemon. They ruin my favorite unexploited double type.

>>12885501
No they haven't, why the hell do people always say that just because they make Pokemon based on inanimate objects that they're running out of ideas? Inanimate object Pokemon have been around since Gen 1 and there are tens of thousands of untapped animal inspirations out there, several that are fairly common.

>>12885477 (OP)
Its evolved form might be a little more fleshed out?

also i checked and if it really is Steel/Ghost then it will have a shit ton of immunities (Normal, Fighting, Poison)

I love it unironically.

>>12885540
>aspie bladehugger

How is a sword worse than a bell?

>>12885518
Except the eyes make this one look like a Level-5 Youkai Watch/Dragon Quest monster.

It's a possesed weapon, they're playing around with the fairy tales of western europe, how is this not something you'd expect them to do?

It's literally just reflavoured Bronzong, which is part of a Japanese myth. And this one even has a face.

I give it like a month before you all just forget about it and accept it.

(And this is terribad but Rotom formes were A-OK? Realllly?)

>>12885477 (OP)
He's going to evolve into a Haunted Armor Pokemon, it will be a faceless knight holding a bigger version of Monorpale and the Armor will just be that, armor, the actual Pokemon will be the sword, who is controlling the suit of armor with its ghostly powers.

>>12885551
because sword is a fucking weapon. 7g will introduce Guns and Gatlings on this way.

I really can't even tell that it's a Pokemon.

>>12885562
10/10

They could've made a gibbet

but nooooooo

>>12885563
And a bell is an instrument. 7g will introduce guitars and pianos.

Also, we already have a gun. Or you another idiot who doesn't get why Remoraid evolves like it does?

Smogon's Kitsunoh was a cooler Steel/Ghost

>>12885501
Do you even realize how many fucking species of animals are on this planet, you goddamn autist?

Holy fuck I hate summer.

I like it a lot more than any of rotom's forms, and it draws the same inspiration. I don't understand why so many people are upset about it.

It's a possessed sword. Did anyone think that maybe the spirit possessing it is the Pokemon, and not the physical sword itself? Just food for thought. Dwebble is still Dwebble without its shell. Maybe it changes to a shield Pokemon if you give it a special shield item. Who knows? People should appreciate Pokemon for Pokemon, and not for what they're design is based on.

It looks like something that would be a weapon from Kingdom Hearts, not a Pokemon.

>>12885525
I think they had enough fun with rotom.

>>12885564
this 100000%

>>12885594

Summer is a myth

The same people who browse 4chan year-round use it as an excuse to shitpost

>>12885500
Holy shit you have the absolute worst taste in the universe.

>>12885639
Doesn't change the fact that the children are around 24/7 now. We don't even have the chance for any peace whatsoever while they're at school.

I remember in a thread a few months back people were saying shit like
>hurr if an object pokemon is ghost type that means its OK
And now this happens and everyone fucking complains.

>>12885659
The majority of the board likes it while a few are either on the fence or dislike it. I haven't seen any real HATE for it here anyway.

>>12885594
Yes, there are more species than pokemon created to date.
>calling someone a goddamn autist doesn't prove your argument more

>>12885666
I think some people are just unsure how to feel about it, really. It's certainly different from the norm, but it's not awful.

I don't complain because it's an object, i complain because it doesn't look like a pokemon, exactly like Golurk (yes I'm sorry). I'm 100% sure that's not Sugimori who designed that.
And it's really overdesigned IMO (from a guy that think that Kyurem and Palkia AREN'T).

>>12885670
Exactly. And no where does it say that they absolutely have to follow any rules for every pokemon being based on an animal. They have an ungodly amount of life form to base Pokemon on, yet they choose not to because they have other things in mind.

I think a possessed sword is pretty cool. Also I remember myself trying to think of a concept for a ghost/steel Pokemon, but failing.

>>12885684
I actually though this was from kingdom hearts at first.

>>12885691
Its that the one creator had said that a lot of the pokemon were based on nature, so you would figure they would base more on nature right? No, they go with a flying sword that's gonna rape little children in the ass, and they will love it.

>>12885692
The perfect failed opportunity was Cofagrigus, but they suck.

>>12885703
God forbid they step out of the box and do something new after 5 fucking generations.

>>12885666
I genuinely hate this thing

Why are you guys ignoring the concept? Its a ghost possessing a weapon, more or less whatever Banette is

>>12885722
the same. And this is the first time I hate a new pokemon so much.

Hell, they've done pretty much the same thing and its worked for them. You would think corporates would keep using a strategy if it works.

>>12885684
How is a Pokémon supposed to look?

>>12885744
And yet you can't change the fact that it's a canon Pokemon.

>>12885753
Not like a sword...
Although, if you use a stretch of the imagination, it has 2 eyes closed, a middle third eye open, and then a mouth. Its a stretch though.

>>12885769
But it's not the sword. It's the sheath of the sword.

>>12885769
>not like a sword
Why? Is there any rules I didn't know of?

So a possessed lamp, coffin or kitchen appliance is fine but a possessed sword is just stupid?

If you were a ghost, what would you rather possess? A fridge or a bloody great sword?

Yeah, I'm not digging it. I think because its design is so intricate you just see it as a generic RPG sword rather then a living creature.

>>12885748
Oh yeah, I love games that do the same thing over and over and over and over and over again because "market strategy".
>>12885769
So that's up to you to decide? What a pokemon should and shouldn't look like?

>>12885767
Yes and ? I don' care, i just say I hate this thing.

>>12885784
So living creatures always have simple designs? Please tell me you aren't this stupid.

>>12885783
Cofagrigus is not a possesses coffin. it's a ghost living inside a coffin

>>12885784
I'm laughing at the fact that people assume the sheath is the sword's blade.

>>12885789
COD.
>>12885789
>>12885780
Think of it this way. A lot of the market for Pokemon is ~11 year olds or so. Would you really want an 11 year old to fight using swords, think its alright and do shit with real swords?

It doesn't have the "pokemon" design... Look, when you see Pokemons and even (good) fakemons you say directly "oh it's a pokemon!", but with that shit you are like "KH ? DQM? what is it from ?"

>>12885477 (OP)
Agree, it doesnt have nay design to it, unless when sheathed, but in battle, it looks just like a freaking sword.

>>12885521

I like that idea, hope it's true. I don't mind this being just a floating sword as long as it's ghost, which it is.

Come on guys, we have possessed mummy tomb's and whatever Froslass is, this guy fits in perfectly fine.

Which I fucking love wakfu so this is no skin off me teeth.
But still, maybe it's just a possessed sword?

>>12885807
You're right. I would rather my 11 year-old son went out and tried to make his dog fight my neighbor's dog. Or went out and threw rocks at a bird so that he could "capture" it and make it fight other animals. Did you even think that argument through at all?

COD was to your "I love games that do the same thing over and over and over and over and over again because "market strategy"."

The second part is because of how fucking retarded kids are now. You let them play cod and then give them a gun, they would be less stingy in shooting because they figure that the target/person will just respawn.

>little kids in the anime world literally carrying swords around

inb4 charizard is more dangerous than a weapon. It's the symbolism that's important.

Why can't a sword be a Pokemon?

We dont know yet, because we dont have the pokedex entry or more explanation.

And my point is that, when unsheathed, it looks like just a sword, it doesnt have any extra things on its design that would make it look like a monster. sheathed would look much better, although still shitty.

>>12885974
It can be. People just are mad because even after 5 gens they think all Pokemon have to be based on animals, which is never what the series was about.

>>12885955
Of cours, but even if it just resembles a sword, there's nothing extra on its design, it just looks like a floating sword.
Vannilite and Chandelure are not that way, Ice cream cones and chandeliers do not exactly look like that.
This new mon, on the contrary, just has a circle that's supposed to be its face and doesnt even look like a face.

>>12885477 (OP)
I like the ones you listed, and I'd like this one if it wasn't because what looks like its face when it's sheathed, turns out not to be when it's unsheathed. See >>12885521

>>12885979
