can someone explain why people were so fixated on bidoof back in the day?
>>57184016It’s the silly looking common fodder so wouldn’t be a funny joke if it it was actually some epic strong god killer XD
>>571840162000s meme culture was very different from today's meme culture
>>57184016>Looks stupid>Is bad>But what if it was goodYou just wouldn't get it if you're a zoomer. This is like you trying to explain why metal_pipe.sfx kills you to your grandparents. You just can't.
It was at a time where loldumb random humour and terms like "herp derp" were at their most common, several of the memes at the time are even referenced in Sinnoh's localisationso a silly looking pokemon that literally has "doof" in its name never stood a chance
>>57184016Bidoof was/is the cutest Ratatta expy, it could learn all of the HMs that were weak enough that you didn’t want them on your main bros, and the evo is bulky enough that you could still get some use out of him if you gave him some of the harder hitting hms.
everyone had to have a bidoof/bibarel on their team as an HM slave. ot became a meme due it's forced usage and goofy appearance.
goofy looking shitmon that ends up on every team because as bibarel it can learn cut, surf, strength, rock smash, waterfall, and rock climb
>>57184016just look at him
It's ugly, obnoxious, bad, but a top-tier HM slave so you were probably stuck with one anyway out of convenience. It just has that underdog energy that people either love or hate.
I'm dying squirtle
>>57184016Quintessential HM Slave on everyone's team.
>>57184301Indeed you are.
>>57184052half life... i want to go back
