lmao
>>58304840>grey hair brendonopinion discard, muslim delcatty was better
There was a version of this made that goes to gen 8 but I can't find it.
>>58304840>well, these are pretty cool tooconsidering how much people hate the ZA starters I don’t think soWhat a throwback to when kantoniggers were the most obnoxious fans. Young zoomers today will never understand, maybe the old ones do but genwunners were the worst group until very recently
I do wonder what reality the maker of this was living in where the gen 3 starters aren't considered some of the most popular.
>>58304865>Literally a subhuman complaining about Kanto.Pokemon is KANTO, if you don't like it you can play Digimon with the other girls.
>>58304869It's pretty well known that each generation gets dumber and learns to settle for modern shit while attacking the past, for example this nigger over here: >>58304865
>>58304872>>58304874ywnbaw
>>58304879Dilate
>>58304869The "4th Gen was new and 3 was reeling from Pokemania being over" one.Yes, it's that old. You can tell cause it is a mspaint comic without trollface or Wojacks.
No one’s ever looked at the Johtoshit starters and thought “yeah these are cool”
>>58304887>>58304870brutal trvkes
>>58304840>well, these are pretty cool tooKeektoparoo
>>58304840lol tods unironically think they're part of the team.
>>58304869>POPULAR... GOOD???Retard.

>>58305067>looks like a turd attached and hanging from an assholeyep, that sure sums up johturd’s relationship with Kanto
>>58305070>looks like (massive stretch)

>>58305067lol

>>58305097>no argument>20 second replySo, so desperate.
>>58305110>>no argument this entire thread has been non-arguments kek
>>58304840Is there any punchline or point in this comic other than "I don't like new pokemon"?
>>58304840I cannot imagine a 10 year old boy seeing the girly lima bean and thinking "this is pretty cool too!" unless they are in the closet.
>>58305120>straight men aren't allowed to like cute thingsi saw chikorita for the first time when i was 7 and picked it in a heartbeatchikorita is my favorite pokemon to this day and im straighti dont see how liking a cute pokemon is linked to being attracted to those of the same sex
>>58305138what's wrong with a pokemon being cute? that's like a pretty big appeal of the franchise for a lot of people
>>58304840Funny because the Hoenn trio is the objective best trio
>>58305142There's nothing inherently wrong with it. Gen 2 took a noticeable turn in design philosophy to make everything cuter. This wouldn't be a problem if retards 20 years ago didn't lump themselves with gen 1 to make shit like OP's comic.
>>58305152i suppose.johto does have its fair share of coolmons though (feraligatr, scizor, skarmory, donphan, tyranitar, typhlosion, legendary beasts, and so on)
>>58304840>uh... i don't particulary want ANY of those..If I'm not wrong, I recall mudkip being rather popular back then
>>58305171I don't think the comic is a representation of the average player, just the author growing older and more jaded over time
>>58304840Did people really like the Kanto starters as a whole? People already shat on Venusaur and Blastoise at the time.And quite frankly, this is the most obese starter trio. Disgusting. Not even the other gens with an obese starter can compete (Torterra, Emboar, etc...)
>>58305214people loved blastoise what
>>58305214>People already shat on Venusaur and Blastoise at the time.Nice revisionist fanfiction, Charitard. >muh obese pokemon is...LE BADFrogs, Tortoises, Dinosaurs and Pigs aren't anorexic twigs, anon.
>>58305174It was a bad take back then and it’s even worse now
>>58304840>hating sinnoh starterswhoever this bitch is, i'm glad he got filtered by the series
>>58305063Yes, popular is good you dumb mongrel. Gen 3 OWNS you.
>>58305067>being a tumor add-on full of shitmons is…superior Lol
>>58305272>i cant clear johto with johtomons and that means they're shitsimply get good

>>58304855I think i've seen up to gen 5 once and never seen it again
>>58305324nobody likes Wartortle
>>58304855Because the punchline stops being funny when you repeat it for seven panels
>>58305281There aren't many options I'm afraid. You either have to overlevel, which is incredibly gay, or use items in battle, which this board thinks is cheating.Reminds me of the time some /vr/fag beat the E4 with Azumarill to claim it was good, but froze the first Pokemon in every battle and didn't elaborate.
>>58304855Does anyone has this version?
>>58306264Search the archive Timmy
>>58304840The games didn't change, you did.
>>58306463the games have objectively gotted easier, uglier, lessed content, worst designs, more cutscene etc...
>>58306610What is your native language so I can butcher it as much as you did mine?
>>58304840But the gen 4 starters are leagues better than gen 3. It isnt even close
>>58305118The punchline is how it expressed exactly how everyone felt at the time
Haven't used this board in over a year, why are we supposed to hate Johto now?
>>58305306Based Meganiumbro
>>58306646me when I live in an alternate reality
>>58306646They are good but I definitely wouldn't say better than Gen 3. But I would still rank them higher than most other gens.
>>58306124The punchline changes to how out there some starters got. And Karl Pilkington in gen 8.
>>58304840:DDD
>>58304869This comic is older than you>>58304885Not just that, but back then, Gen 2 was considered the best generation by a wide margin.
>>58304885You can also tell because Brendan has white hair.
>>58304865>I do wonder what reality the maker of this was living It was the reality called "2008", and everyone at the time agreed, because no one was young (or unfortunate - depending on your viewpoint) enough to have started with Gen 3 or 4, or had any nostalgia for them. The GBA games had just come out few years back and Gen 4 was basically brand new.Then by the time Gen 5 rolled the internet had turned to shit and picrel was somehow considered a funny take on the original.
>>58304840Reminder to everyone getting mad at this comic from nearly 20 years ago, this is what complaining about newer starters today sounds like
>>58307057Meant to reply to >>58304869 but whatever.
>>58305171because of memes
Someone post the recent rankings of video games in japan and show sinnoh's placement

>>58307078he's right, sceptile is pretty bland designwise, swampert isn't really a peak design when you look at him closely and blaziken sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the other 2, they're good but overrated
>>58307101you can literally say the same things about the Gen 4 startersEmpoleon is just a penguin, Torterra is just a turtle with a tree on its back and Infernape is an atrociously ugly uninspired design that relies solely on "muh wukong"
>>58304840>>58307057>Panel 1: Gens 1 - 3>Panel 2: Gens 4 - 7>Panel 3: Gen 8>Panel 4: Gen 9>Panel 5: Gen 10?

>>58307972You must be 18 or older to post here
>>58307931>>58307935there's also an altaria and bidoof and greedent in there btw
>>58307975go ahead and post the proof proving otherwise
>>58306930
>>58307060not remotely comparable
>>58304840Out of all of these, there really isn't any stinker. Even Chikorita, which is the one I like the least, is decent, not bad. I don't care if you call me kantyke, johturd, hoennbaby or even sinnohfetus, none of these are bad. And I really don't give a shit if you cry "b-but I HATE THIS SHITMON".If you truly want to look at horrible stuff, just take Gen 8.
>>58306117Wartortle is the only member of its line that *is* actually admired by the general fanbase.
>>58307418>buys it anyway for 7 generationsGay Freak won
>>58307921Cute derpy design, great evolution, evolutions have great typing with only 1 weakness, strong move pool, great usability, final form has good stats.
>>58307996I agree. The first bad starter line is the Tepig line, at least to my tastes. And I don't even mean the meme le fire/fighting starter. It's just ugly and... well, I guess everything that could be said about Emboar and Pignite has been said, so you guys know what Im talking about
>>58307996the eclair beanie baby, pear chia pet, and cartoon alligator aren't exceptional designs
>>58305324>Ugly morbidly obese roided up frog with a tree glued on it's back that nobody likesall lies detectedit's the most "Pokemon" Pokemon, as stated by the devs and execs
>>58305292
>>58307987Pretty easy to explainJohto set a high standard, shills are mad that modern kusogemon can't live up to it, so they put it down to make recent slop look betterFans of other gens have always been jealous of Johto's objective superiority, so they used this as an opportunity to spread this narrativeThe reason there isn't a more vocal hatebase than Johto's is pretty simple, and it's rooted in jealousy.It's not just /vp/, you can't mention liking Johto anywhere without a swarm of drones telling you that their favorite Poketuber said it sucks actually. Johto lives in everyone's head rent free.
>>58305224>people loved blastoisewe don't have reason to believe that considering contemporary data
>>58308041>current day poll discarded
>>58308040>Johto set a high standard>Johto's objective superiority>you can't mention liking Johto anywhere without a swarm of drones telling you that their favorite Poketuber said it sucks actuallypost proofalso there are just as many if not more poketubers posting johto apologetics, so that's an invalid argument
>>58308053>lower levels... le bad!cope
>>58308053You're righthttps://youtube.com/watch?v=v7yV8Cxspnc
>>58308057So like I said, you leave out the poketubers saying it's good.
>>58308074yeah, saying that good game is good isn't an interesting take so those videos don't go anywhereit's not hard to explain
>>58307418Sad it was never updated for gen 9.
>>58307418I'm the one who drew the gen 5 panel back in the day. Although someone else immediately edited the memes onto it a few minutes later.Sad that /vp/ has lost the tradition of updating it with stupid kneejerk reactions every time new starters are revealed.
>>58307418Gen 9 is the just professor, no trainer, going "please come back. I swear, only two of these turn furry!"
>>58308269everything after the original starting with your alleged panel was shit and missed the pointit's like those cringe additions to the growing anime girl panels that circulates on /v/, post-adulthood

>>58308433>everything after the original starting with your alleged panel was shit and missed the pointthis is why we don't get OC anymore, just wojaks repeated infinitely.
>>58308013They are and you know it. If anything, the only problem with the trio is that Cyndaquil feels out of place.

>58305292>>Bootleg charizard except he's a badger and a ped-shitty comment disregarded, not even reading the rest.
>>58304865>considering how much people hate the ZA startersYeah, because the people talking about ZA are largely Gen 3-6 zoomers. The only way to generate more rage about the starters with this group would be to replace Tepig with Charmander.
>>58306930Any online discourse about a franchise is always controlled by the mid to late 20s demographic. They'll be nostalgic for whatever was their thing when they were a kid and lash out against whatever was popular before they got control. Star Wars is a good example. About 5 years ago Prequel and Clone Wars was dominant in the discourse because all the kids that grew up watching the Clone Wars had finally reached that age where there was enough of them online to dominate forums. Kids are too dumb and to easily distracted to do it, and by the 30s most people have too many responsibilities (leaving only the smaller number of dedicated autists).
>>58312767Litten as garfield when persian exists?
>>583128591. Persian is not a starter.2. The point is that litten looks annoyed.

>>58304840>graphic representation of normie aging out of childhood franchise
>>58313193Well-adjusted normies would have dropped the series by G/S. If you kept engaging with the series while hating every single game, you were mentally ill.
>>58308534No, reality.
>>58312700OC like The Virgin Walk was one-off shit made to illustrate a point, which generated enough buzz to be expanded such as with Virgin vs Chad, which then gets blown up even more past its original point of making fun of autistic walking to all sorts of autistic vs "hyper-normal" behaviors, and then gets picked up outside its community (/r9k/) and applied to all manner of different "thing I like vs thing I don't like" scenarios, which eventually degenerates into merely that, its ultimate purpose now completely divorced from the original intention and incapable of evolving organically any longer.
>>58308433>everything after the original starting with your alleged panel was shit and missed the pointNo. You missed the point. Back in the old days of /vp/, this was go-to shitpost image. Like, it was posted 10+ times a day with the 2010 equivalent of 'wow, really makes you think'. Everyone was really fucking sick of this comic.The later panels are making fun of the first four.
