No excuse Lance. You're a fucking Flying-type specialist and a hack and you know it

Lance using Arcanine in Stadium was kino.

It's kind of funny we only really get thematic teams for the elite four when there are actual limitations(though lance is still monotype funny enough). Original Flint really should be the standard but Platinum couldn't even keep him that way.
>>
>>58290522
For all intensive purposes, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and especially Charizard are basically Dragons. What's inexcusable is 3 Dragonite when Altaria, Flygon, Salamence, and Garchomp are RIGHT THERE for him to add to his team.

>>58290635
Fuck before you guys cuss me out, I forgot Kingdra so I'm mentioning it now, although it's kinda Claire's ace.

He does actually use those in his rematch fight. Which is more of an issue with how GF handles remakes. Does make me wonder if there would ever be an idea of actually remaking the gens so that you can backport pokemon, mechanics, and story elements from later gens in ways that would make sense. Probably not since it would require a lot of work to look at the regions and actually think about what changes would work and what would be overreach. Like Gen 1 alone would need to take into account pokemon that are in kanto in Gen 2, the connections to Gen 3 that FRLG set up, and even mega evolutions if you want to go that route and it could balloon to the point it goes too far.

Hoenn's Elite Four was laughed out of the building for all the repeats. There SHOULDN'T be limitations for trainer specialists, just do a different fucking type or balance the dex
>>
>>58290668
>or balance the dex
Really I'm not sure how this was ever an issue, like I gotta wonder how far they got into Sinnoh before they realized the region had two fire types including the starter and they just never decided to correct that despite also choosing to make an elite four member a fire trainer, and have that one specifically show up in the story. There's a lot of layers of mismanagement there.

Gyarados is a dragon by classification like arbok

>>58290634
Agatha was also monotype, poison in her case

the phrase is "for all intents and purposes"

The only thing saving this retard from easy and utter humiliation is Sneaky Pebbles only being available in Kanto

Game Freak always makes a step forward and two back, I was disappointed by how they handled that shitty Altaria kit and how a Flygon or Kingdra would have been better, then they also fucked up his Dragonite in the rematch, 5 PP Draco Meteor making it a sitting duck for the rest of the match, GF staff doesn't seem to play their own games when at least most of Battle Tower late mon kits are somewhat threatening.
Same shit happened with Steven rematch in ORAS, and none his E4 took advantage from their mega evolution passives either. A fucking Carbink and Archeops...

Lance is really a flying type trainer, and Agatha is really a poison type trainer.

E4 teams should be thematic, or at least dual-typed. How the fuck are you considered one of the strongest in the region if your whole team dies to surf or thunderbolt spam?
>>
>>58290565
Aerodactyl isn't a dragon at all!

>>58290747
Yeah, that's right, faggot.

So, not a champion. Thought I wouldn't notice you trying to move the goalposts?
>>
>>58291594
Because you are capable of making a monotype team that steamrolls most opponents despite the shared weakness.
