A Pokemon Go player returning to the franchise after over a decade has demanded an explanation for what they claim is a “hideous” looking Ultra Beast design.
Part of the draw when playing through any Pokemon game, especiallyPokemon Go, is the incentive to catch’em all and discover new Pokemon. With almost every new main title Pokemon game, the developers add a whole new Generation for players to discover.
With each new generation comes further unique designs, names, and more, something that the communityoften debates.
After all, some of the new Pokemon designs have been called out by longtime fans for being too over the top or distant from the conventional Pokemon look.
In a newReddit thread, user ‘Lucky-puzzle147’ demanded an explanation from the community after coming across what they described as a “hideous” looking Pokemon.
Now over a decade later, Pokemon Go is filled with many Pokemon that have only been added in following the player’s hiatus from the franchise.
In particular, the original poster called one of theUltra Beasts“something you’d make in Minecraft.”
The Ultra in question isStakataka, a dual-type Rock/Steel Ultra Beast that was first introduced during Generation VII, in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Other Pokemon Go players were quick to flood the Reddit thread with their comments. One stated that Stakataka looks more like something out ofThe Legend of Zelda franchiserather than Pokemon.Comparingit to “those damn Guardians” in Breath of the Wild and also the constructs found in Tears of the Kingdom.
