Fire Emblem Character Designer Reveals Pokémon He Created For Scarlet & Violet

failinks Is one of my favorite gen 8 mons, they looks so cute! And battle ready!

It looks weird in my opinion. 😕

Cetoddle is my bab, love them

@Parker55 you could say that about any opinion though

@Parker55 you can have a light negative opinion about something without being hateful 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Anti-Matter Weird isn’t really a negative for me as Pokémon are supposed to delve into monsters with weird/strange features.

@Parker55 it looks weird, calm down. Man is allowed to comment.

Not every opinion is "wow looks great".

I like revavroom but I think the others are still pretty bad designs. Even revavroom's design is weird to me, I like it but I wish it was better because a lot of things about it hardly make sense or are just shy of being really cool. The one eye with the hole below it looks like a weird face while the part above its eye is the mouth, which makes it seem upside down always. The fact it floats is odd too, as they easily could've made it a grounded flintstone car, made it float on poisonous gas like gastly, etc. Why have wheels just to float lol.

Looking back at my comment that sounded extremely hypocritical, I apologize I didn’t mean it to sound rude. I need sleep it’s been a very long day…

With the benefit of hindsight that actually does make sense to me, in that Cetoddle and Cetitan do bare a bit of a superficial resemblance to Aiba's AI-Ball form from AI: The Somnium Files.

I like the paradox Pokemon, they look like fakemon, but have entirely different personalities and typing.

Cetoddle is adorable, the others are some interesting designs. Solid stuff

Nooooot my favorites from this game, to say the least, but--and I say this without sarcasm--good for him. I embrace how weird and fun some Pokémon designs are, even if they're not personally to my taste. 😄

I guess they're fine idk. Sadly in general the new pokemon were pretty lame and ugly this time around, say what you will about Gen 8 games being garbage (cus they were) but that gen had some cool Pokemon.

So does that mean we’re getting a Pokémon/fire emblem crossover game? (I’m joking in case people think I’m serious)

Not a fan of vroom line, but cetoddle is the cutest mon this gen and cetitan is really cool. Mons for different tastes, which is good!

@Greatluigi actually we got a Nobunaga crossover in DS era, so it's not a crazy idea.

Cetoddle and Falinks are some of my favorites from each gen. Varoom is cool, Revavroom is a bit of a let down.

@Olrun Funny enough there WAS a Pokemon / Fire Emblem crossover planned and the Nobunaga's Ambition crossover being in the works is why they didn't do it.

So he's the one to blame for the floating car Pokemon.

What a bunch of weirdo

Oh I really liked Cetoddle and Cetitan.

Varoom and Revaroom are fun concepts but the rock bits on them to make them look more like a full car felt too on the nose, especially for the latter where it has a whole car shaped body. Plus this is a world where everything is Rotom powered already, why would anyone be using the toxic engine Pokemon to power things?

To be fair, Revavroom is such a Kozaki design I recognised it when it was hinted. Its the tongue sticking out that gives it away. You can see it in some of his character art for No More Heroes, Fire Emblem and Toxtricity line.

I like that GameFreak let guests contribute something to the series like Kozaki and Toby Fox (OK, fine Kozaki did the main character designs in GO but you get my point)

@Ogbert To be fair, the dex does state its an unknown poison pokemon that takes over a scrap engine and uses the minerals from the rock wheels to move.
Keeping in mind they're found in rocky places and the Eastern province area, it probably implies that they're scrap engines that have been discarded by the original owners. That might explain how Team Star manage to create those vehicles-through scrapyards. Might also explain why the other vehicle pokemon, the Rolycoly line, appear in similar places - because they are not needed to power things anymore.

Or so I speculate...

@Olrun That reminds me we need a Nobunaga sequel!

@martynstuff yeah I don’t mind the engine part at all, the minerals that look like but aren’t wheels (they float) is what gets me.

That does kind of make sense plot wise. Though I’m fairly sure NPCs talk about using their Carcoals for power. Honestly the Team Star story line felt like it should have been about their abuse of the Varoom and Revaroom Pokemon because the rest really made no sense. They were doing the exact same thing as every other pupil, and the one guy sick of being a prefect and forcing students to wear uniforms etc…Team Star all wore a uniform! Anyway I’m going way off track now!

Well, he's outed himself as having produced the worst designs this generation, in my opinion.

The Cetoddle line looks really bizarre and out of place, though I'm aware it has its diehard fans, and the Revavroom line is just plain ugly (too much going on and also very un-Pokémon-like).

I liked most of the other designs from this gen though.
