Confusing. The sprite is a bit off-looking, but I think once the Sugimori art is released I'll like them a bit more.

I'm interested in the Pokemon but never used it for obvious reasons (and not into hacking stuff)... the change of forme and typing is intriguing, and I wonder if it has an ingame event for it?

 

[Momo(th)]

Boring and ugly.

Agreed

Boring and ugly.

Agreed

Well, that's only the sprite :P

Also, found some unofficial but awesome looking drawings.

You know, it's not too dissimilar in design to Kirlia (something I thought a while ago in fact), a Pokemon who also likes to dance about. (And at a stretch knows the like of Sing from XD, but it's not really known for singing). Compare the above to:

 

[sv_01]

Kirlia is... not a legendary.
But we're supposed to discuss her, aren't we?

You know how some people say Gardevoir should be female-only? Well, then it should branch at Ralts.

Also a weird association from the anime: Meowth sometimes disguises as a Kirlia and says "Koylia".

And... You know... The Gallade/Gardevoir romantic stuff also comes up my mind.

Kirlia is cute. :3

I think Meloetta's boring at first glance, but there's a few things that are interesting. I really like how her design uses a music scale for hair; it's something I'd never think to do. Also, I like how the form changes work! Both color schemes, however, aren't very interesting and I can't figure out what the gem does for the design, either. The head phones remind me of rabbit ears and make me giggle. Also, Meloetta doesn't really seem all that legendary-esque. Overall, I think the idea of a muse based Pokémon is cool, but I feel like it could have been pulled off better.

Meloetta is certainly very creative. Like what Spoon said, there are music bars in her hair. Her hands also resemble quarter notes and that thingy in her hair seems like a mini microphone. When she transforms though, the thingy becomes a hairpiece. That said, creative does not always equal good, and I think they tried a bit /too/ hard with incorporating musical elements into the design, so it looks a bit odd and creepy. But overall Meloetta isn't bad at all.

I just realised that
Aria Forme is a singer, while Pirouette Forme is a dancer.

Another day, Another Pokemon.

I'll just pick today's Pokemon, which is

Miltank has a good defense, is able to have the ability Scrappy (Very helpful ability), and can heal itself with Milk Drink.

 

[Noctowl]

Aw, I love miltank. ^^

Hated Whitney though.

 

[Dar]

Although I never used it, it seems like a helpful pokemon.

 

[sv_01]

Tauros and Miltank are the only duo of gender counterparts that weren't introduced in the same generation.

Whitney is a hard Gym Leader indeed, mainly because of her Miltank. (Also, I didn't know what type Rollout was.)

The Scrappy ability seems like a protective mother thing, Nidoqueen just doesn't need it.

And one more thing about Tauros and Miltank: Pink and brown... It's not like both of the colors are stereotypical gender symbols, but brown surely has a tough-guy thing going on... Which means: Wow, colors that symbolize my least favorite Contest cathegories, and corresponding with their genders.
Both of the colors can symbolize the Normal type as well, but while brown is like "it doesn't have any weird powers, so let's make its fur a realistic color", pink Normal-types tend to have Cute Charm or learn healing moves.

Ovaltine! +1 internet points if anyone gets the reference.


Truly not fond of the cow though...

 

[Superbird]

Don't really like it much. Moomoo milk, however, is the best thing ever.

 

[Momo(th)]

Ovaltine! +1 internet points if anyone gets the reference.

1 point to me!

But yeah, to me Milktank's just a watered-down version of Blissey. The only reason I hate it is because it kept killing my Lv. 27 Quilava in Gold.

 

[bobandbill]

Ovaltine

I know that!

I think many people who played GSC (or even HGSS) remembers Miltank from the third gym, haha. I didn't take much of an interest to it however, although during a monotype run of HG I found a shiny one and caught it. ^^

 

[DarkAura]

Ovaltine! +1 internet points if anyone gets the reference.

Unfortunately, Papaya thinks that a cow isn't good against dragons. Oh wait, +1 internet point to me!



Whitney's Miltank is so annoying, but if the player uses it, it's pretty good in battle. :3

 

[Spatz]

I loved watching Morty get his shiny ass kicked by the cow, that was just pure awesome!
