a man after my own heart

We should all just remember that Team Aqua and Team Magma were fashion disasters from the very beginning. I kind of like the physical variety of them all though...

1) Everyone knew that, and 2) so do I. People aren’t complaining about the designs as such, they’re complaining that they completely redesigned old characters to a degree that’s never been done for anyone else that had an established design already. (So Rocket execs don’t count.) But it’s hardly important in the grand scheme of things.

To be honest, Tabitha and Shelly were hardly all that different from the grunt designs, and Matt and Courtney never even got any art (apart from the manga). They also redesigned the Rocket Execs in HGSS from the ones in the original GSC, don't forget, and their HGSS counterparts each looked a lot different from those designs. I'm not too upset at the redesign even though I think it could have been a bit better than what it turned out as.

I’m not buttmad either, anon–just a bit disappointed. I’m not the “omg childhood ruined!” type by a long shot. Still going to buy both games and play the shit out of both and probably import merch from Japan too. C'est la vie.

Apparently team aqua took their new outfits from a pirate restaurant or something. Maybe a kids show

Old school would be easier but makeover would be more relevant. FOLLOW YOUR HEART MY FRIEND

lies she was hot before too

I figured out what happened to Tabitha! Scott kidnapped him, then dyed his own hair and replaced him.

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT MATT THOUGH

Yes and yes. Welcome to Magmaqua 2.0.

Yeah, I don't care if this makes me unpopular with the rest of the Magma/Aqua fandom, but I LIKE the new designs. Not completely, but more than I did at first. Okay they are radically different but I think after everyone's over the shock of that the new designs will start to grow on people, like when they revealed Mega Mewtwo Y. And I like new Tabitha and will defend him from all the fat jokes already happening.

There’s room in my heart for old and new teams both, and I’m sure I’ll come to love them–heck, I already don’t dislike them, I’m still gonna buy both games. I think a lot of us are just disappointed because we were really looking forward to the old admins getting official art for once, and instead we got complete redesigns with little to no trace of the original. Not really what we were expecting at all!

really disheartened now cause seems like the majority fandom hate the designs but I like them ;_; don't wanna end up having arguments and losing friends in the fandom over this.

if your friends disown you because you have differing opinions of the character designs of the villains in a remake of a children’s video game, you need better friends

a kawaii asshole

Everybody have been saying how only Team Aqua looks good, but they don't get how Team Magma and Maxie style now looks so underground.
