[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

I prefer the final form to the beta. I find the beta a bit too silly, and the juxidposition of a western dragon head with THAT body seems a bit too cartoonish for a true Dragon type (excluding Goodra, whose's design was based in part on being cute/friendly) . The final version seems more.....imposing and fiercesome to me, and its the one I grew up with, so I naturally find it 'better' , for a given subjective value.

Ya know what might be interesting, though?

If some of Beta Kingdra's traits were to transition over to an eventual Mega Kingdra.  Pinsir's scrapped evo got that treatment (to a degree), so it'd be interesting if Kingdra ended up taking that route too if it also got one at some point.

Well, perhaps there is very much unlikely to happen. I remember see a statement of Nintendo saying they not gonna make any new Mega Forms. And since the release of Sun/Moon and US/UM, we did not see any new kinda of Mega Evolution. Gen 7 it is what I like to call: "The fanservice generation". His why: Team Rocket coming back, the Alola forms of old pokemon from Kanto, the Ash Greninja, Pikachu/Raichu/Mew/Snorlax receiving exclusive Z-moves (all these pokemon coming from Kanto), the Battle Tree, and of course the battle against Red and Blue. And of course the protagonist be from Kanto. 

In matter of gameplay and new mechanics/competitive, I would not call something "extraordinary" like Gen 6 was who bring a lot of new features: Mega Evolutions, New Legendary pokemons, strong competitive pokemon, along with another few things. Thats at least was my point of view. I not saying Gen 7 is bad, but I would say it was...inferior to other Gens. At least in my opinion. I just hope Gen 8 bring something more cool and awesome. Better than Gen 7 I hope.
