Hey Dante, when did you first mega evolve, and when did you decide that your mega form was a more comfortable form for you to be in?

gender affirming care is turning yourself into a gargoyle with a cool beard

ask my ocs!

#FUN FACT! one of the pokedex entries for mega aero states that the mega form is actually what it looked like in prehistoric times- #so i think mega aero is probs more comfortable of a mega evo than most others! :> #oc: dante #nayarts #pokemon #aerodactyl #mega aerodactyl #ask game

Lance Week '22 Time-Shifted Crossposting, Day 5 - 'Sygna Suit'! So I've long since stopped playing MastersEX, but this prompt was a juicy opportunity to do some designing, and some stealth crossover - who am I kidding, this is just a blatant Kamen Rider reference!

I narrowed my Sync Pair choices down to four with some suit sketches [Rayquaza, Feraligatr, Mega Aerodactly, Red Gyarados] - Rayquaza nearly clinched it for a combo of simplicity and pizzaz, but I liked how Feraligatr really let me play into the padding and patterns on actual motorbike leathers for a bit of Gen 1 Lance/Showa-era Kamen Rider synergy.

The 'Masked Rider' bit of Kamen Rider kinda went out the window so that the Sygna design was actually recognisable as Lance, but a vigilante/burglar mask was a nice little happy medium. Some more futzing with colours, patterns and details between the sketch and final and Lance and Feraligatr were ready to roll! Now if only DeNA could get around to the same - 0 Sygna Suit designs for Lance still?! Come on! I don't even play the thing and I think that's heinous xD

Random Fact of the Day

Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Aerodactyl!

Did you know that some scholars claim that Mega Aerodactyl is Aerodactyl’s true appearance? Mega Evolution restores some of its dormant genes, bringing back the sharp rocks that once covered this Pokémon’s entire body. The rocks on Mega Aerodactyl’s body are harder than diamonds!

142 MEGA AERODACTYL

#mega aerodactyl #pokemon #daily pokemon #mspaint #my art

[adobe-outdesign]

I was looking through your old asks and I found a Spamton Pokémon Rating and I gotta say, it's a shame that most people only know him through his Deltarune cameo. Kinda like how people only know Ridley from his Metroid cameos rather than his original appearances in Pokémon... speaking of which have you done Aerodactyl yet? That’s the first Pokémon Ridley equivalent that pops to mind lol

Aerodactyl is okay—though I'll admit, it never did all that much for me. I think it's just because I feel like I've seen this kind of wyvern-style pterosaur dozens of times before, and it's just not as interesting as actual proper pterosaurs (though granted, the Japanese word for pterosaurs is "winged dragons", so that might've been intentional). I'll get into this later, but IRL pterosaurs were some of the weirdest prehistoric creatures out there, and I would've loved to see that worked more into this design.

I also feel like the colors hurt it a bit. There's nothing wrong with the purple, but when the entire palette's monotone with no real markings it ends up not really having anything to make it pop. Even just a different color for the wing membranes instead of just a slightly darker purple would've been something.

And just to clarify, what we got isn't bad; I think the head's a bit too big for its own good, but its otherwise serviceable. I'm also always a big fan of correct membrane-style wings (correct in the sense that they're anatomically plausible; IRL pterosaurs had rounder wings and no thumbs), and the arrow tail is a nice touch. It's just that, at the end of the day, it feels less like a unique prehistoric creature and more like Charizard 2.0.

I'll give mega Aerodactyl this: It does at least attempt to fix some of my issues with original Aerodactyl. The colors are slightly improved—using the addition of black to add some much-needed contrast, darkening the wing membranes, and even making the eye color more vibrant. It's also more of a unique design, feeling like it has something to differentiate it from other dragons/dragon-like pterosaurs.

However, I can't say I love the rocks, either. First, they create some visual awkwardness; the ones on the stomach aren't needed (a dark underbelly to match the wing membranes would've worked fine), and the "beard" only makes the head look even more oversized. The ones on the wings, back, tail, and hind claws look fine; if they had just stuck to those ones and maybe the ones on the ears, it would've looked a lot less messy. Also, why is the tail flatter?

But secondly, those rocks bring me to my second point: mega Aerodatyl doesn't really have an interesting direction. It's just regular Aerodactyl, but Pointier(TM). There's almost something interesting going on with these 'dex entries:

None of the fossil Pokemon are properly reconstructed, as emphasized by most of them having rock-typing. The idea of mega evolution restoring a fossil Pokemon to its original prehistoric form is perfect. The problem is that the idea presented here for Aerodactyl's original form is... rocks. Even if we assume Aerodactyl was always rock-type and that wasn't a side-effect of it being resurrected from a fossil, its true appearance just being the same thing With Rocks is just... not that interesting, or at least as interesting as it could be. (Plus it raises some logistical questions. Like, why does it have proper wing-hands it can walk on in the improperly restored version?)

I point this out because, if you didn't know, pterodactyls are extremely weird:

Look at that. Equal parts ridiculous and terrifying.

My point is that I would've liked to see mega Aerodactyl lean more into IRL pterosaurs for inspiration if that's what they were going for. Give it a more elongated face, rounder wings, longer neck, etc. And some pterosaurs were quite colorful. Adding in some red and blue accents and darker stripes would've been a great way to really make the original purple palette pop:

Anyway, overall, original Aerodactyl is fine, but it feels somewhat generic, and the monotone colors make it feel washed out. The mega attempts to fix a few things, but ultimately creates more problems and doesn't really take full advantage of its concept.

Also, final fun fact that I found out while researching this: There is an actual IRL pterosaur genus called Aerodactylus that's named after this Pokemon. Because scientists are as nerdy as the rest of us.
