He's cute!
>>
>>58186724
I haven't chosen Tepig as a starter since I was 12 and I've used the other two starters in Silver & Heartgold within the last few years.
>>
I used to hate the pig but if its mega is cool I might go for it since the other two starter megas aren't looking great
>>
>>58186724
I’ll trade it to a friend, but even if I wasn’t they’re a cute guy with a powerful moveset
Unfortunately Delphox is getting a mega so…into the trading box you go!
>>
>>58186724
if I pick the pig it will because I got a 3 or a 6 on a dice roll
>>
>>58186724
>Cute
>He's lot little trunks and a little mask and little gloves like a widdle pwo wesswler
>Eventually turns into a warthog Snorlax with a flaming beard and giant hammer arms
That's a 10/10 monster, pal.
>>
>>58186724
it might not seem that way because Emboar;s famdom has recently ben flooded with secondaries due to it being a shillmon now and Typhlosion's the starter Pedo Freak told them to hate, but Emboar has ALWAY had a small but present fandom who didn't get filtered by stupid shit like a pig being fat, or a starter sharing a type with another starter.

Yeah, pigs are my favorite animal and I never used Blaziken or Infernape so Fire/Fighting was fresh for me
>>
>>58186724
His mega is getting a fire spear and a cool hat. Name another starter that has a fire spear and a cool hat?
>>
He was my pick when playing my first Pokémon game, thirteen years ago, and now Z-A is looking to be my last. Only fitting to go out with the guy that started it all, methinks
>>
>>58186724
grass and water types are usually way more common than fire types in any given game

I never picked Tepig for BW/BW2 so this is gonna be a first

You're a giant queer if you don't pick the pig
>>
>>58186724
because Chikorita is still the single worst starter ever
>>
>>58186724
Totodile is my bro unless I find out how his regional evo is terrible. But Tepig had the best evo in BW compared to the other 2
>>
>>58186724
Because he's haram and I wanna piss off Allah
>>
>>58186724
Emboar is my nigga, I always use him when replaying the unova games and despite how much I love using it, feraligatr is my OG nigga so I'll have to go with the 'gatr.
>>
>>58187105
>regional evo
anon, I...
>>
>>58187107
Keeping a pig as a pet isn't haram, eating it is.
>>
>>58187105
Gatr's mega will probably get mixed reception when it's revealed. Best looking ones will probably be Meganium's or Emboar's.
>>
>>58186724
Because Mega Emboar basically being Lu Bu is sick as fuck
>But Mega Delphox
When XY came out for the first time I had Mega Blaziken, MegaZard Y, Delphox and Bravest Bird on my team and made it work. If I could do it then I can do it again now.

Fucking nice, dude. Always gotta love and appreciate your ever faithful bro.

im working on getting a shiny emboar to transfer to plza
>>
>>58187214
>Mega ZardY might be back
Being able to just flex out a Solar Beam was rad
>>
Gen 5 still the best gen
>>
Infernape should have been mono fire
Emboar should have been fire dark
Incineroar should have been fire fighting
Cinderace should have been fire fighting

There, fire starters are officially fixed
>>
I always pick Fire type, unless there's a clear and compelling reason to not do so (which has only happened in Gen 7 and 9 with Popplio and Spritatito) and L: Z-A similarly offers no clear and compelling reason to pick either grass or water starter, when I'm beelining for Fennekin's spawn and attempting to find a female at the earliest possible opportunity to use as my starter.
>>
>>58187518
Infernape and Embaor were based off Journey to the West characters, Incineroar's heel persona precludes being honourable fighting type (heels' whole shtick is to piss the fans off, fight dirty and cheat) and football is not a martial art, so the football rabbit SHOULDN'T also get an inherent martial discipline affinity. Fix your own retarded assumptions.
>>
>>58187592
Based
I see no reason to pick water when there’s usually an abundance (esp in kanto and hoenn)
And grass is always almost also in plenty supply
Especially in 1-4 where good fire types are rarely found early, It just makes the most sense
>>
>>58186724
I'm not picking Tepig as I'm sentimental to Totodile but I will say that Emboar fans have been so chill on this board that I've went from neutral to a fan of its design

most faithful starter
>>
>>58187016
The coolest!
>>
the fanbase for tepig feel so forced
>>
>>58187787
Why?
>>
>>58187787
Incineroar and Hawlucha boosted Emboar's fanbase. Before he seemed out of place, but now he's part of a small club of pro wrestlers. There's the heel, the high flyer, and the super heavyweight.
>>
>>58187787
they are unovan fans
>>
>>58186724
It’s cute. Pignite and Emboar are cool. I always pick the Fire starter too
>>
>>58187813
even they don’t like the pig. Especially when darmanitan does the physical fire type archetype much better
>>
>>58187820
>I always pick the fire starter
Funny, I almost never pick the fire starter. I go grass or water every time in every Gen except 5 and 7.

Yes, it's cause they're wrestlers.
>>
>>58187824
Nah I go Emboar because he's cooler.

And Unova has ferrothorn and jellicent so there's my water/grass types.

I am going to pick Chesnaught as a second starter and I'm not too bother about Chandelure so Emboar is going to be my fire starter

And just as I type this I realized they are both fighting (and I want to get Barbanacle too) so who the fuck knows
>>
>>58186736
Can you trade? There are not two versions of this
>>
>>58186724
Gotta love how in the teraleak when they were originally pitching megas they said "we want megas for pokemon that people love, like Charizard, not mega Emboar" (or something like that, but yeah, specifically saying people didn't want mega emboar)
>>
>>58188598
Some of the mons with the least amount of tgc cards ever right there. They really need the megas
>>
>>58189394
Right? I never got the hate for his line, do people just hate pigs that much?
>>
>>58189591
I think it was popular to hate gen 5 when it came out + it became fire fighting which almost everyone didn't want for a third time in a row
>>
>>58188598
Painfully adorable
I hope there’s a series of comics with these two getting into shenanigans. I’d pay for that

>>58186742
I don't care about pigs being fat, I just think Emboar is a shit design. The colour scheme is bad and I don't like its belt-thing but by far the biggest issue is the head, if it just had an actual piglike head instead of the weird flat cartoon-character face with a pig nose slapped on it could be a decent design.
>>
>>58187518
You made them all worse.
>>
>>58187228
How old is this comic?
>>
>>58191441
I do like pigs and Tepig was actually my favourite in the BW prerelease days before we say the final forms and I went with Samurott. I don't even mind anthro starter designs either, I quite like a lot of the newer ones like Incineroar and Inteleon. But I just can't get over Emboar's stupid ugly head, if it just had an actual boar's head it could be so good.

I guess I have to hope the hat on the mega will cover up most of its face.
>>
>>58186724
He is cute
He is strong
He is Faithful

You can't go wrong with him.
