Yeah, obviously. They're Pokemon fans.

Salamence ugly and gay as shit. Literally worst designed pseudo
Ttar clears all three
>>
>>59018822
salamence, on top of being low tier as far as pseudo designs go (only goodra and bad are worse) also has to share its gen with metagross who is easily the best pseudo design. not surprised it gets a lot of hate.

Hating salamence is a sigh of low T

>>
>>59018822
Salamence is certainly the best option here but that's not saying much. Every fucking dragon design in pokemon sucks ass, with the exceptions of Fug and Haxorus who are sick as fuck. But the latter is more of a dinosaur rather than a dragon.
It's unfortunate that mons aren't allowed to just be cool and instead have to factor in how easy it is to make merchandise. Dragons with proper proportions look awesome, but a fat jobber with comically undersized wings makes it easier to make plushies I guess.
>>
Anti-Salamencery is anti-Whitery btw.
>Salamence seems to be based on the archetypal European dragon.
>>
>>59019227
Give it wings that don't look like flat sheets of paper and I might reconsider
>>
>>59019237

No.
>>
>it says while showing her terminally shit taste
>>
>>59019246
>looking awful is like, the art style, bro
A generic dragon would mog the shit out of every dragon in pokemon and it's not even close.
Fat fucks with bad proportions might be a consistent "art style" but that doesn't make it good. A bit more realism would go a long way to make lots of mons look better. Just look at Monster Hunter. Rathalos is a "generic" dragon and yet he's still memorable and shits all over pokemon's attempts at dragons, while being believable enough.

Charizard is another example of a fat fuck who would look infinitely better if slimmed down and given larger wings, but that would go against le art style wouldn't it?

I like Mence, but people have always found him bland.

Only one of those has actual wings instead of flat shapes made to function as such.

Genwunners run this franchise. I still don't know why they pretend that these games are for children at all.

>>59018822
Menace has such a bad design. The wings look like cardboard cutouts and he doesn't look aerodynamic at all, the mega is also cringe with the backpack straps lmfao

Salamence looks like it can't move anything but its neck and ankles

Salamence is more popular than aggron, latias, altaria, kyogre, groudon, mawile, breloom and deoxys and torchic. Sorry losers.

Charizard outranking them after a couple years pushed them down, not a major upset but a return to the mean nonetheless. Nobody would claim greninja or lucario are still more popular than charizard nowadays right?
>>
>>59022947
Behold, a man!
>>
>>59022938
But where is your point going? They won't be able to just make a new eevee and not as a starter. Maybe if you put the favorite starters among gens together it will be more clear to you why it's in their interest to keep making humanoid mons.

the level of brazen disingenuity on 4chan in 2026 has reached intolerable levels

>>
>>59023088

I'm pretty sure it's just two trolls spamming the anti-Salamence posts.

>>59022974

>>
>>59023091
how is what I said there a lie? If you show me a popularity poll and 80% of the ones in the top 10 look like x and 20% look like y, that means that x is a very popular look to have. This isn't disingenuous.
>>
Personally I just find the love for any of the Unova dragons weird. They are all retarded. Yes, including your precious Haxorus. Fuck that edgy shit, attacking with axeblades attached to the sides of its mouth is grossly inefficient, and look at those pathetic looking arms and claws.
