Acacia Sgt Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Ah, finally Gen VIII stuff, huh. Hmm, that's an interesting looking fellow. I'd say, I find the design familiar, but I can't really place what exactly it's reminding me of. Maybe I'll remember eventually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingdom Heart's shadows, Teeny Sanguini's from Dragon Quest, the eponymous Metroid species...I can see why people think it's cute. I'm just more amazed that it's actually a legendary. Yeah, that is true. 56 minutes ago, Glennstavos said: This little guy is Meltin' my heart! Well not really. So is this the new mythical pokemon they promised to have in Let's Go? Twitter video confirms this, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm unreasonably mad at it because I didn't know what it was and burned a Golden Razz on it. That thing looks like something I'd trip over, and isn't my idea of cute. But to each their own, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisobeyedCargo Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I’m... honestly unsure of what I think of it the design overall looks cute, but something about the one tiny eye floating in the center of its head(?) creeps me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 To those who doesn’t find it cute, how can look at this face not call it cute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It's still just odd in that, like...it's a nut stuck in a pile of goop with a cable poking out. Maybe not the strangest thing, but it just...doesn't mesh as well to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverly Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yeah, I don’t care for this thing either. It looks like something that belongs in a Mario game. Gen 8 is kinda off to a bad start with the reveal of its first Pokémon, but there’s still time to show off better ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I actually really like the design but... not as a Mythical. Gen 7 hit us hard with Marshadow, Zeraora and Magearna all being very solid design wise and concept-wise, and every other before then was always a pretty unique Pokemon. This might be taking the "Small Mythical with 100 in every stat" approach a step too far towards lot really looking too special. Hopefully this thing either breaks the trend of Mythicals not evolving with a good evolution or has an alternate form, because I just can't see this design being a Mythical on it's own frankly. Its seemingly molten body makes the possibility of this having some other form, whether it be an ability, evolution, or otherwise, seem pretty likely to me, but who knows.

They did already break the legendarys not evolving mold with cosmog so I could definitely see that as a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, if this thing is actually Dex no. 891 (i forget the exact number, it's around 890 though)... Shit, we're getting sub 100 Pokemon again this gen. Oh well. Hopefully we get some more Regional forms, that'd be cool to see come around every Gen as something new for older mons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefGuevara Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I do not fuck with this design When it started showing up in pokemon go and people starting posting it, I legit thought it was a deformed castform model or something But meh, I didn't really like the Ultra Beasts either, so maybe I'm in the minority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eqstrian819 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Am I the only one here who, upon hearing Meltan’s name, imagines the Pokémon screaming “Mmmmeeeeellltaaaaaaan!” in an extremely annoying voice not unlike SpongeBob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Dayni Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Okay, so a bunch more speculation fodder for Meltan at the end of this video. Also, the method for catching in GO has been confirmed: You have to send a pokemon to Let's Go while having a mystery box, which will cause it to sow up for a half hour.

Dai Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 So Meltan evolves into Melmetal. Meltitan probably would have been a better name, but w/e. Looks swole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Now that's a better design! Not bad. The name though... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I've been playing too much Kingdom Hearts lately. The little nut section in the middle of its body is making me giggle. I feel bad its "eye/face" is kinda...submerged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightchao42 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Melmetal is still a pure Steel-type (making it the seventh pure-Steel type in the series), and it has Double Iron Bash as it's signature move. Meltan is indeed the first Mythical to evolve, but apparently it can only evolve within GO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I love that you can literally only get this thing in Go? That's certainly not going to go (pun not intended) over well with a lot of people. Especially at FOUR-HUNDRED CANDIES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that is too much, I agree. I don't think any of the 400 candy evolutions should've required that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
