Where does it rank in water starters for you
idk man I never think about it, probably the most boring starter
>>58198881Worse than anything that came before it.Better than anything that came after.
why did it take them four generations to correct its hidden ability
>>58198881#1 easily best water starter with the the only downside being it was trapped in no-fire sinnohthey also didn't know what to do with it at the start >defiantLUL
pretty good, but unfortunately he has to compete with fire monke
>>58198881literally peaked with this design and never matched it againtoo bad they fucked up its playstyle
>>58198881>>58198915it really is the best designed starter, who can even compete with it?
>>58198881Behind Swampert and Feraligatr, ahead of everything else.
>>58198881he’s cool and fun to use, at least top 3
>>58198901Hoenn had a similar problem but Swampert was such a hard mog in Hoenn that people still pick it and just say fuck Fire types altogether>Magcargo>Torkoal>Camerupt>NinetalesWhy use any of these when Swampert has no weakness? (not a single fucking Grass specialist in Hoenn)
>>58198881ThirdBehind Feraligatr and Blastoise
I'm not exaggerating when I say that Sinnoh has my favorite starter for each type, and I say this as a Johtofag
>>58198881
>>58198937>>58198944What kind of shit taste do you need to have to think any of these compare to empoleon?
>>58198881It's good, although I prefer Swampert and Feraligatr.
>>58198881Best of that gen.
>>58198881That’s their best designed starter period they really nailed it with sinnoh >people saying feraligatrThey’re 60 and therefore should be forgotten
>>58198957based chronological fag
>>58198968Oh my goodness, most people still rank it highBe grateful that it isn't Inteleon/Quaquaval tier
>>58198881At first I didn't care much for it, I preferred infernape and torterra but it has recently grown on me. It's much better than most of the water starters we have now but feraligatr, swampert and blastoise rank higher for me imo.
>>58198968damn i love empoleon but you're a cringey fag
>>58198968Not him, but I think the weird armor line in the middle of it makes the design worse.
>>58198991>be grateful this top tier design isn't abortion tierlol ok
>>58198881#2.
what's next for him? mega or regional?
>>58198881I don't like how the bottom details of the white part look too much like real clothes, but it is otherwise my favorite water starter. Awesome design and typing
>>58198881so ugly not even furries like him and his twp
>>58199075How is this supposed to prove he's badly designed?
>>58199075>I only like starters I can goon toMiserable existence
>>58198889Pretty much this.
>>58199075>NOOOO if I can't jerk off to it, it's...le bad! Come on now.
>>58198881Maybe 4th or 5th? It's hard to compete with Feraligatr
>>58199075>Sinnoh starters the overall least popular with furfagsKinnoh wins again!
>>58198881Altohugh I have a slight preference for both Mudkip and Totodile, why didn't Game Freak choose it as the Water starter for ZA?It is literally based on freaking Napoleon Bonaparte. And also Snivy for the Grass Starter.Quite frankly, the Johto starters make zero sense for ZA and could have been easily replaced by these two. Emboar makes no sense either but I don't know what starter could replace it.
>>58199075That’s not his fault.
>>58199075that is a good thing
>ferfagligatrthe johto white bread of all starters>swampertthe down syndrome pokemonempoleon is the best
>>58199079you have to be a pornie to understand
>>58199101the end of pokémon
>>58199101>adventure with your cool starter>pray to the gods>go home and fuck your furry wifeSinnoh be like that
>>58199148>Ferfagligatr>Not Feraligayturd
>>58198881The 2020 vote gave us a rank for Water starters:>Greninja>Swampert>Primarina>Empoleon>Inteleon>Feraligatr>Blastoise>SamurottAnd for the starters themselves:>Mudkip>Piplup>Totodile>Oshawott>Squirtle>Sobble>Popplio>FroakieEmpoleon's line is doing pretty fine, much better than Blastoise's and Feraligatr's, which kinda surprised me. Not even the power of genwun could defeat it. The only line it consistently loses to is Swampert's.
>>58199247The mudshit line is so overrated.
>>58199247this is more worthless than some random poll from reddit because each region is divided https://pastebin.com/rFq663H7>swampert, greninja, blastoise, empoleon, feraligatr, samurott, primarina, inteleon, fag duckin that order
>>58199261>immediate seething about SwampertYou guys are never happy.
>>58199266Agreed this fucking picture has lost it's meaning a long time ago.
>>58198881Like this
>>58199266what is this pastebin exactlyit is named "untitled"
>>58199297https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1bozvz5/results_favourite_pokemon_survey_2024/
>>58199247
>>58199301A Reddit survey is worth less than that Pokemon of the year poll.
>>58199301isn't that the poll people like to ignore because it is from reddit
>>58199261
>>58199311>>58199318funny as fuck you say its worthless than post a fucking cropped image from it lol >>58199301
>>58198881Second after Primarina
>>58198881Top 3, and it didn't deserve to be in games like Unite or Pokken.
>>58199324Wrong person, redditor.
>>58199301>>58199318>Only redditors like mudshit and swampasscase and point
>>58199343>everything i don't like is LEDDIT!are you 12
>>58199359How am I wrong though? You just posted poll results from redditors?
>>58199374then you must hate fucking everything thenbesides, the vote was worldwide, not limited to redditors you dumbass
>>58199389for the vote I meant the 2020 one, not the reddit poll
>>58199374It’s still generally popular according to a non-Reddit. If you still want to whine about it just admit you’re coping and we can all move on.
Why do empoleonfags hate swampert so much?
>>58199402They don’t, it’s just this one autismo.
>>58199402it's just one person, most other people in this thread like both empoleon and swampert
>>58199328He was one of Pokken's only based picks
>>58198968>What kind of shit taste do you need to have to think any of these compare to empoleon?Swampert laughs at electric Pokemon as it's immune to electric moves, Feraligator does massive damage with the Sheer Force and Life Orb combo.
>>58198881#2 right behind samurott
>>58199197keeping the old ways alive
The only reason you care about Empoleon is because of the steel typing attached to it. If it lost the steel typing nobody would treat it nicely. Steel typing is literally a free ticket to first class citizenship in the pokemon world.
>>58199756I like it and also forgot it wasn't an ice type
>>58199756no one gives a shit about its steel type, half the time it’s brought up is because Torterra can earthquake it
>>58198881Unironically 4th for me
>>58199756being a penguin is good enough for me
>>58198881best water starter ever made>empoleon>greninja>swampertin that order
>>58199756>The only reason you care about Feraligatr is because of the alligator theme attached to it. If it lost the alligator theme nobody would treat it nicely. Being an alligator is literally a free ticket to first class citizenship in the pokemon world.>The only reason you care about swampert is because of the ground typing attached to it. If it lost the ground typing nobody would treat it nicely. Ground typing is literally a free ticket to first class citizenship in the pokemon world.what is this argument?
>>58199057Water/Fighting regional based on Nobunaga
>>58199756>Steel typing is literally a free ticket to first class citizenship in the pokemon world.That's ghost type
>>58199895That's fecaloid thougheverbiet >>>58199717
4 > 6 > 2 > 1 > 7 > 8 > 3 > 9 > 5This is an indictment of Water starters desu. Only the first two are really good designs, and there is a steep drop off after Blastoise.
>>58199903
>>58198889Spbp /thread
>>58198881As far as design:1. Empoleon2. Hisuian Samurott3. Swampert4. Greninja5. FeraligatrI dont really care about the other water starters
>>58199914>thinking facts are baiteither this is bait or you're purposefully contrarian
>>58199881....but that's just samurott
>>58199964It'll be cooler as a bird
>>58199974if we're being honest it would have been cooler for tepig
>>58199974for empoleon it should be something like a knight/general or go the opposite of its regal looks and turn it into a water/steel viking
>>58199995water/fighting viking starter would be sick
>>58199979Isn't he getting a Mega based on a Chinese guy?
>>58199914what is there to like about inteleon or quaquavlal?
>>58200007what could have been instead we get pic related
>>58198881Samurott destroyed the streak of having cool water starters.
>>58200024oshawott had so much promise
>>58198889>worse than inteleon or the gay duckget a grip
>>58198881a high B rank all things considered.
>>58200129very unique opinion
>>58200024This
>>58198881It's alright, it's passableEasily the weakest design out of the 3 fully evolved Sinnoh starters, but overall it's nothing I can really complain aboutPiplup is one of the best starters in the series, though
>>58198968Get over it, bitch
>>58200160Work on your reading comprehension
