>>56107701>open PkHex>change my starter Pokémon to Skitty>don’t forget the perfect IVs :)Now THIS is Pokémon
>>56107701finally the commoners are starting to wake up to the jobmon menace that's been plagueing this series since dp
>>56107701Could only make it ~9 minutes before his Reddit was too much for meAll that just to say the Galar starters are shitYeah, we already knew that
>>56107746he says it started in Kalos
>>56107746There are multiple comments praising recent starters feeling more fleshed out and having themes than being generic animals or beasts.
>>56107701>despite him liking Typhlosion he explicitly admit that typhlosion is downgrade of CHARIZARD due to having the same fucking stats as CHARIZARD but with less moves due to Game Freak hating mono types and that the only reason anyone would like it would be a minuscule percentage of fans who played a Johto game before a Kanto game, or somehow preferring its design over CHARIZARD (keep in mind Typhlosion is wildly criticized for being "bland" or "just bigger cyndaquil" while CHARIZARD is worshipped solely due to being leh epic dwagon which is essentially easy mode for becomeing popular as well as the orange3 start decade of constant shilling. >Next starter shown is Emboar another Fire starter hated for being similar to its predecessors >is surprised that game make every starter afterward minmaxed as fuck with unique overpowered moves avoid being a despised flop like the Johto trio (keep im mind Wingless CHARIZARD is apparently the popular one of the Johto startes, the actaul hated starter is Meganium, which is quite possibly the single most hated pokemon in the franchise) He literally answered his own dawn question
>>56108020"Generic animals or beasts" these are very prominent in newer gens like boltund or Finizen (yeah he turns into a jobmon later). The best type of pokemon design is the ambiguous monster that has several themes going on for them, take blastoise, its a turtle with cannons and cat ears. Venusaur is a toad but the only features that hint to this are the warts and a wide mouth (no jump, aside from the LGPE animation, no tongue), so it was always believed to be inspired in synapsids (the face and ears, the awkward quadruped pose), the plant finishes the design by giving him an extra feature. Jobmons are mostly one dimensional even if they are more fleshed out.On most cases Amiguous monster > jobmon > animal + element.
>>56108077He didn't ask a question retard.
>>56108077>typhlosion is downgrade of CHARIZARD due to having the same fucking stats as CHARIZARD but with less movesTyphlosion is objectively speaking better than Charizard because the Flying typing is bad for it, especially prior to decent special Flying moves existing. The Cyndaquil line's learnset in a Gen 2 playthrough is also a lot better than that of the Charmander line in Gen 1(which will basically never get Flamethrower unless you hold off the evolution to level 42, which you should do but casuals don't know about)
>>56107755So he’s a retarded unovafag like most of these shitty “essayists”? Go figure.
>>56108709no you see the blatant wrestling outfit doesn’t count as the pokemon being a jobmon because it was introduced in a game I likebut chesnaught is a jobmon because….uh….it has armor
>>56108714I honestly never even visually parsed that as a wrestling outfit
>>56108660Also in GSC it had ThunderPunch (still running of its Special Attack), while Charizard had no types of special moves outside of Fire in RBY and didn’t even get Thunder Punch until Gen 4.
