Awful, fine, awesome.
>>58233661chesnaught doesn't become a retarded quadruped for no reason so he doesn't belong
>>58233661Replace Chesnaught with Rillaboomer and you have the contrarian starter trio.
>>58233678Chesnaught is as much of a contrarian pick as rillaboomer literally any baramon that isn't incineroar is the contrarian pick
>>58233661>bort trying to slipped CHADnaught it with his inflated cartoon jobmons nice try
>>58233683Chesnaughtfags keep to themselves instead of always shitting on other starters unlike Rillaboomers who love to shit on the other 2 galar starters. Rillaboomers are the gen 8 version of Owlfags.
>i suddenly like chesnaught now
>>58233661>the only good paldea starter>the only good unova starter>the only good kalos starter
>>58233661What is this, the hair trio?>>58233678Funny calling skeledirge and samurott contrarian starters when both of them have another starter in its trio that are far less popular
>>58233661Ah yes, the trio that makes /vp/ seethe I see.
>>58233691>Chesnaughtfags keep to themselves instead of always shitting on other starterspeak newfag history revisionismchespinfags only piped down and stopped throwing shit at froakiefags and fennkinfags during XY's hype era when quilladin hit their twin towers
>>58233661The based trio
>>58233661two great and one mild designwhat's your thread for OP?
>>58233669what's wrong with a bipedal pokémon evolving into a quadruped
>>58233661Samurott is fine. The other two can go into the trash.
>>58234089I like Skeledirge just wish the body was bigger and it had a fire mohawk on top of its bald head
>>58233661The "build for regional replacement"duo and chesnaught
>>58233683chesbro is getting a mega so you’re objectively wrong
>>58234115>Chesnaught is getting a mega just by association with greninja while still remaining a Grass/Fighting shitmon Sad
>>58234137>copping this hardyour favorite must have gotten a regional form lol
>>58234145>Non argument schizo seething My favorite is mawile
>>58234096"regional replacements" were for the beloved pokemon all along, as it turns out, since chesnaught sticks out as like the least popular starter of all timepatternfags in shambles
>>58233691>Rillaboomers who love to shit on the other 2 galar startersJust because you scream "RILLABOOMER RILLABOOMER" at anybody who says anything negative about Cinderace or Inteleon does not mean this is a thing that happens.
reminder that Skeledirge and Samurott are top tier pokémon and great representatives of what pokémon should be
>>58233669>Pokemon can only be bipedal Retard alert
>>58234172
>>58233661The only good one there is the croc.
>>58234172okay rillaboomer
>>58234085It's literally the reverse of how evolution is supposed to work. You're supposed to become more functional as you evolve, not less.
>>58234385pokémon evolution is not about functionality, it's about power. they're battling creatures. they're clearly much heavier and stronger than previous forms
>>58234385>koalas
>>58234389Dewott had hands that it could use to brandish its sword. Samurott using the sword looks silly and uncanny because it has to lift up its front legs like a dog begging for treats. That is a liability in battle that Dewott does not have.
>>58234400Good thing in practice it’s not a liability, since all it needs is one heavy strike, hence the “power” part.
>>58234400okay but does Dewott have three swords?
>>58234385Huh? There are multiple examples throughout history of bipeds evolving into quadrupeds. One is not more functional than the other, they are differently functional.
>>58234400It's probably due to a theme. Oshawott, foot soldier. Dewott, commanding officer. Samurott, general on horseback (four legged). Also, it can wield the weapon easily underwater I imagine.
>>58233661Add Rillaboom its just as shit
>>58234400>its swordyou mean its little dinky ass shells? i'll take my sword-wielding sea lion, thanks.
>>58234400who gives a fuck about the swordI just imagined it firing a water beam from it's mouth when attackingI can easily imagine it using a sword underwater as it swims though, and sealions are notorious for being agile underwater and sluggish on land, so I guess it does work out
>>58233714>>the only good kalos starteKys cringe faggot Greninja is the best
>>58234149>>58234156All me btwalso I love samurott
>this threadhttps://files.catbox.moe/up2que.mp4
>>58233685Bort?
>>58234531>There are multiple examples throughout history of bipeds evolving into quadrupedsName one that uses handheld tools.
>>58233661kill fuck marry
Delphox, we need your strongest Super Potions
>>58234944>who gives a fuck about the main point of the lineand this is why samurott is a shit design
>Best Paldea starter>Solid Unova starter>Best Kalos starterGood lineup. I'd go with Chespin. Oshawott is nice but I prefer Tepig as far as Unova starters go. Never understood the dislike for the Chespin line, best grass starter alongside Bulbasaur. It's bipedal, but it starts as bipedal so what's the big deal? It's grass/fighting, a unique typing for a starter after all the whining about fire/fighting. It gets Rollout at level 8 so you're never lagging offensive type coverage like you do with other Grass starters. And Quilladin is cute. Like I try to respect opinions but everyone who hates Chesnaught is a fag.
>>58234400I don't think this is a problem in design. I think it's a problem in animation. You can have it fight with a sword without having to rear up, just have it move like Guts.
>>58235089Acceptable taste.
>>58235117>but everyone who hates Chesnaught is a fag. Said the barafaggot
>>58235117damn I guess there are a lot of flags out there
>>58235129>>58235131What'd I say? Look at how they type. You can smell it.
>>58235143I bet your farts sound like nothing cause your asshole's too loose.
>>58235137change your pants
>>58235149Very ironic of a barahomo to tell someone else that he has loose asshole lmao
>>58235149what an ugly motherfuckerwhere are its ears
>>58235156wow what a clever observation good job
>>58235159Thanks :)
>>58235114You do realize it can also be a special attacker right?
>>58235149Fag
>>58235149LOL
>>58235114the main point of the line is being a blue sea lion/otter thingthat's like saying the fire at the tip of the Charmander line's tail is the main point of the line and getting mad if Charizard lost it (or to be even more literal, if he didn't even lose it and it was simply less of a focus than previous forms)
>>58233668Swap the first two
>>58236138Your parents should have used birth control.
>>58235117>but everyone who hates Chesnaught is a fag.Facts
>>58235178You do realize it can also be a physical attacker right?You do realize its signature moves are all physical right?You do realize the main point of the design is its swords right?>>58236000>the main point of the line is being a blue sea lion/otter thingNo it isn't.
>>58236138
>>58236384And swordhorn
>>58236384It’s EV yield is 3 Special Attack points.You lost
samurott should have just stood up. it says he can but hes rarely ever shown doing it for some reason. can you imagine if bisharp evolved into Kingambit and instead of his stupid little chair he just got on all fours for no reason?
>>58236436Its signature move involves using a sword.You lost
>>58233661my 3 favorite starters of the last 5 regions <3
>>58236634And? It doesn’t need the sword to fight.>>58236000 point remains
>>58236706>And? It doesn't need to use the main point of its designAnd that's why the design is trash.
>>58236722How? Samurais used a variety of weapons not just their katanas
>>58236785>How is it bad that the design can't use one of its weapons properly?
>>58236626probably because it doesn't need to, since it moves better on all fours with the sea lion-like form and the weapons are sheathed most of the time anyways
>>58236791It can use its weapons properly though? >>58234499
>>58236626They do look a little goofy with their barrel chest
>>58233661Awesome,awful,awful.
>>58236798It can't use its weapon properly though? >>58235076
>>58236805it's simple, they flex their massive pecs hard enough to hold a sword between their tits
>>58235072Can't tell if newfag... or oldfag making a Simpsons joke.
>>58233668Swap the first and last
>>58236815Anon a quick draw(Iai cut) works the same as a swipe, otherwise there would be more bipeds irl
>dewott can do quick draws and use its swords fucking normally while walking>samurott can'tYep, the design is dogshit.
>>58236825Rope immediately, you homo.
I don't know why people die on the hill of Dewott when its tiny stubby little arms can barely reach its scalchops, never mind swing them around. It's no more "functional" a design than Samurott is while also being infinitely more boring.
>>58236819True
>>58236883>Weaker quickdraws>Weaker range(shorter arms and shells)>Weaker arsenal(no head sword)>Muh movementDewcucks are mentally ill
>>58236825this is correct
>>58236883Dewott looks fucking stupid so anything different is an improvement
>>58236904Pot calling the kettle black, you unabashed faggot
>>58236948>it would be able to do all of this AND move around while using its fucking weapons if it wasn't quadruped for no reasonYep, the design is dogshit.
>>58237072Good thing it doesn’t need movement to use its weapons then
>>58235076That has nothing to do with your original argument which implied evolution shouldn't work that way. "Should" is an ignorant values-assessment. It CAN work like that.
>>58237129>That has nothing to do with your original argument which implied evolution shouldn't work that wayCorrect, animals don't evolve to be LESS effective at tools they use, dumbfuck
>>58233661ok but which one would make the best husband
>>58234400What about the horn?
>>58237165>Change fighting style for powerThis isn’t an alien concept though
>>58237165yet Samurott is still stronger and faster than Dewottand evolved to use a weapon on its head too
>>58236928giwtwmd
Cringe
Based
>>58237241>being worse at using your weapons is powerYep, the design is dogshit.>>58237242It isn't faster than Dewott at moving while using its weapons because the design is dogshit.
>>58233661I like Samurott cause they invented a fake weapon just for it. I glossed over the spelling before thinking it was the regular word, but seamitar is perfect.
>>58239793a fake weapon that it can't correctly use and has to magically extend because the design was incredibly poorly thought out
>>58239729>Has more legs to move >It isn’t faster
Samurott mainly fights by using the horn, case closed
