Mega Evolution No. 13: Ampharos

this will never not be hilarious

I mean, not a single bit of it makes a single bit of sense

Ampharos, of all Pokemon
gets a Mega Evolution
where it gains a Dragon sub-type
and grows luxurious flowing hair and nothing else

I guess it's sort of trying to make up for Amphy being all sheered, like I complained about iirc. making it wooly again. But with THAT hair? that Limozeen-brand hair? and the tail that looks like a whipped cream topping with cherries in it?

I want to give it points for being ridiculous, but, that awkward hair on top of that skinny neck, and how it just looks so frigging tacked on, like a bad sprite edit - I'm sorry, I just can't take it remotely seriously, or think it looks good on any objective level. Like Steven Tyler.

and this was one of the first ones they showed, too. Like they were so damn proud of this concept, THIS is what they wanted to represent this new idea of "Mega Evolution".

I don't know if I'll ever stop laughing.


Overall: 1/10

    1. Agreed. Who could hate Ampahabulous?

  3. I guess Mega-Ampharos gains a dragon subtype because it's japanese name is Denryu. Ryu is translated with dragon, so that would make sense. But I agree with you, it doesn't look like a dragon.

  4. I love his expression. He looks so unimpressed with the mess that he has become.

  8. Hey, I've been wanting to make a fangame that fixes a lot of the problems with the series, including balance, Pokemon designs, and competitive issues. I liked your hack and was wondering if you'd be interested in a quality control position. I'm going to begin programming soon.

    1. No lie, I enjoy his music. But Steven Tyler looks like a caricature of Steven Tyler.
