Ooo are we talking about my favorite guy from "recent" generations?

man, the designs went downhill after Gen 2. It's baffling, Game Freak basically had an infinite money glitch and they thought nah, let's not pay an artist.

That fuck you talking about "let's not pay an artist"? The number of artists working Pokemon games only increased. Once you hit Gen 3 or 4 you start having a dozen plus people credited with designing Pokemon.
 
I'm just going off the quality of design. The non-legendary Pokemon are ugly lazy trash after Gen 2. If they paid more artists that's actually worse.

Surprising amount of "one-and-done" artists.

They likely designed more, a lot more event, but Game Freak is generally pretty close-lipped about their full internal design process and who exactly did what. Sugimori has even made "it's a collaborative effort" type comments before discouraging people from asking too much about it. We know a lot of who Sugimori, Nishida, and Ohmura designed because they're some of the most prolific Pokemon designers, and Unno is also rather front-facing since he was art director for HGSS and game director for B2W2, but after that you start to get into a lot more artists who don't have much public profile and aren't generally interviewed, so they're kept kind of hidden. James Turner and Hitoshi Ariga are sort of exceptions since they like to proudly talk about which Pokemon they designed on Twitter, so they're also like the only ones we know everyone design they did, but they've also made comments implying they asked higher ups at Game Freak if they're okay with publicly talking about these things. GF can be weirdly secretive, like when the guy who was the main writer for most Pokemon games made a tweet confirming the series timeline between games but then later deleted it as if she wasn't supposed to say that.

Dragapult went from middling to a menace to more fun in 2 rotations.

I'm honestly happy Mega lucario is as strong post rotation because it was already pretty much a 100% complete package at launch, yea it's a very very simple deck to play but those seem to be the type I actually enjoy most to play because it's funny to just shit on someone who has some Terabox with like 500 different counter mons and 5 different type of energies.
But it's also just good that there is like a couple not total shit mega mons, they are making so many of these megas worse on purpose which defeats the 3 prize value of them.

I wish Mega Clefable was a Goldnegro replacement though.

I might be in the minority but I've always loved the butterfree clones. My team will almost always have one of them in a first play through. I used Beautifly in Gen 3 and Mothim in the latest games.

I know a lot of people like the mid to late gamemons and the marketing focuses around them. But bugs are just cool designs to me. They're usually simple and not over designed.

A fellow bugbro. I prefer the rarer bugs to the Route 1 guys, but I always have a Bug-type in any team I make. Scizor, Heracross, Golisopod, Leavanny, Volcarona, Armaldo, Escavalier, Scolipede, and Galvantula have served me well throughout the years. I also especially love any romhack that gives more love to the bug type. Usually by making Flygon or Yanmega Bug/Dragon, or letting Drapion be Bug/Dark, or just adding cool bug-type fakemons.

Cons in my area used to have a Pokemon Gym Leader thing and during the Gen 6 games, I got to be the Bug-type gym leader. I built a competitive mono-Bug team with Mega-Scizor as the ace. Shit was so cash.
 
I ended up getting a Prismatic Evolutions Super-Premium Collection via Best Buy's invite system. Pulled jack from it but I like the plush Eevee deck box and play mat.

I also ordered two POR booster bundles and those should come in about two weeks.

I've been dicking around with Crustle on Live lately, a lot of people don't seem to understand that it's an anti-ex deck and they try to kill my hermit crabs with their 'roided-out dogs or their B-2 dragons.

Maybe we should do a Bug only play through of a decent rom hack? A group play thing.

I open 12 packs of PO and got nothing then open 5 more AH packs and got 2 arts, I've still yet to get a single Mega attack from all the AH I've open, I'm easily up to 140 packs at this point... I preordered way more than I thought but my pulls have been really fucking good and can probably sell off the doubles I've got to make a profit at this point if I want to sell the gold Charizard as well.

The sad part is almost none of the other megas justify the 3 prizes. Like there was an argument for regieleki vmax in the don as a bench warmer support mon, but like none of these megas have anything going for them. There was a tweet by azul talking about this being the slop box era and it’s funny to see.

Man, you couldn’t pay me to touch that set anymore. It’s such a dogwater set as it was with the main chases, but the fact it’s always cleaned off the shelves still is insane.

I’m mostly selling off hits I don’t want anymore to clear out some space for other things. It’s surreal watching people pay a lot of money for some of the ugliest early era cards.

In concept a mega being worth more makes sense but nothing is even mega about them in a meta where Dragonpult has 320 health.

What a great meta though lol.
