It is not a cute legendary (pretty sure such a thing doesn't exist, unfortunately ) nor does it make for a good box art: These are cute, and (even if I do say so myself ) make for a much nicer box art too: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 TBH all mainline Pokemon games have utterly rubbish boxart. They definitely suffer from Metroid Box Art Syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you can't be saying that no Metroid game has good box art? I'll agree on the Pokemon box arts but Metroid? I can think of at least two really good boxart examples at least. Although I think a lot of them have a certain amount of charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, I love Metroid and all, but let's be honest; the series isn't exactly known for its stellar boxart... Says literally nothing about the game except that you can shoot things. Gee thanks! Samus on a generic rocky background. Exciting. RIDLEY ISN'T EVEN THE RIGHT SODDING COLOUR!! COME ON!!! Wow! Stock artwork randomly scattered on a blank background with Samus in front of it. Says absolutely nothing about what the game is about. My First Photoshop Job: Complete with standard, out of the box, Outer Glow effect. Exciting. Nothing about this box makes any sense. Where is that explosion even coming from!? Literally looks like a temporary fan mock up. LOOK! It's Samus + Samus + Samus!!! Metroid 3! Geddit!? Hilarious. What the hell happened with Samus' torso!? Also, yet another utterly generic box, with stock art randomly thrown about, that says absolutely nothing about the game! Yeah... I love the Metroid series; but I don't love its box art Edited June 24, 2019 by Dcubed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 *sigh* point taken. Maybe just maybe... Metroid Prime 4 will be the first title in the series to buck the trend? Nah... probably not, just as well to not judge games by their covers I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese box was pretty rad though, no ketchup Ridley either: Anyway, we waaaaay off topic now. Sorry about that. So, Pokémon Sword & Shield... they have rubbish box art, don't they? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I'm starting to think this would be your ideal Metroid cover. As for the topic, Kyogre > Groudon. Also, the legendaries for Sword & Shield don't look that good, and nor do the covers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofiz Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Have to agree with Glen on this one. Groudon is cute, and far better than Kyogre. Cutest Box Legendary award goes to Dialga though. He has a tiny little head on a big body!!!! So cuuuute!!!! 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I win. But mainline Pokémon boxart always looks crap. If you want good Pokémon boxart, you go to Mystery Dungeon. Like most things in Pokémon, really. We don't talk about Gates to Infinity though. 30 minutes ago, Jonnas said: As for the topic, Kyogre > Groudon. My Groudon's 100% win rate against every Kyogre it's fought since Gen 4 begs to differ. Kyogre's a rubbish whale in a game where best Pokémon whale Wailord was introduced. Plus, it ruins every holiday you take it on.

Aperson Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 So, after the constant harassment of Masuda on Twitter and of the Pokemon Company's Twitter account following the decision not to include every Pokemon in the National Dex, the Pokemon Company has finally responded: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what happened with Mario Maker 2's no playing with friends thing. And I guarantee it's a minority of people who go too far. Don't lump people like me with them lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 If they're that unhappy with the game, they shouldn't buy it. Nothing tells a developer they fucked up a game like bad sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
