Were these received well in 2014
>>
>>58371853
Nah people fucking hated Mega Swampert and I don't think Sceptile was particularly like either
>>
some haters but overall positive
that said I think the kalos megas might actually be better received overall
>>
>>58371853
extremely, yes.
>>
>>58371853
Blaziken came out in xy with the event. Sceptile was pretty well liked. Swampert was more mixed.
>>
>>58371853
yes
>>
>Swift Swim Swampert
Very good.
>Speedboost Blaziken
Redundant but not bad
>Lightningrod Sceptile
People didn't like this one.
>>
>>58371885
lmao, you weren't there, clearly.
>>
>>58371853
Yes
>>
>>58371853
Sceptile was my childhood favorite and I hated them from day 1 ever since the CoroCoro leak.

Everyone else seemed to like Mega Sceptile though and I never understood why. The design was forgettable, the typing is boring, and it's ability doesn't benefit it already having a x4 resistance to electric moves.
I've been hoping it'd be lost to the aether so Sceptile could get something better later
>>
>>58371885
No one was talking about competitive smogger
>>
>>58371885
Tell us you are a child without telling us
>>
>>58371930
I don't play Smogon. Megas were always discussed for how powerful they were, abilities included. Sorry.
>>
>>58371853
You don't remember?
>>
>>58371853
Of course not, while we're at it I will remind you that /vp/ got renamed to "/vp/ - Childhood Ruined" for a week when Mega Mewtwo got revealed

>best mega design
it's unbelievable how hard us blazikenGODs won
>>
i was on bodybuilding forums at the time lol and the swampart was pretty popular there

i remember peeps sperging out thinking sceptile was stuck standing like that
>>
>>58371853
Mega swampert was BOLO giga massmaxing and all the haters should post a video benching four plates (they won't)

I personally like the three of them, but from what I remember back then, in designs Mega Blaziken was cool for the majority, Mega Swampert got some memes, some poeple like him, specially barafags meanwhile others think it look kinda dumb, and Sceptile got a okay reaction because some people still prefer Grovyle design so they were waiting a mega with more details like leaves in the head just like Grovyle

About power a lot people complain about Mega Blaziken because he was powerful in gen 5, Mega Swampert was pretty nice in some rain teams, and Sceptile wasnt exactly bad but it could have been so much better so it was almost never used

No one cared about Sceptile but no one hated it. Blaziken was liked by everyone. Many hated Swampert at first.
>>
>>58372361
Also during X and Y Mega Blaziken got a lot of hate because he got a mega before Swampert and Sceptile, just like Charizard for getting two megas
>>
>>58371853
Blaziken was 2013.
>>
>>58371853
I like regular Swampert over its mega desu
>>
>>58371853
Only thing I remember is that some thought that mega swampert was funny because he suddenly was jacked.
>>
>>58371853
Blaziken was a tjkn before 2014
>>
I wouldn't say Mega Swampert was super loved but it wasn't as hated as >>58371855 would make people believed. It was mixed, but generally favorable, and people made memes.
Mega Sceptile, from what I remember, was more favorable than Swampert.
>>
All I remember was people not liking Swampert

Mega Sceptile should've had Regenerator considering that's literally its design gimmick with Leaf Storm.
>>58371923
I love its design. Grass/Dragon is cool sounding on paper, but really isn't too great in-game.
And Mega Sceptile's existence doesn't mean that base Sceptile can't receive buffs or other changes.
>>
>>58371853
mega sexy swampert
>>
>>58371853
Pretty much everything has been hated since about DP. Everyone always claims [new game] is the worst yet, and that every new design sucks the most ass ever.
>>
>>58372851
it's almost as if it's been going downhill at a consistent rate
>>
>>58372864
It hasn't, you fucking retard. BW was the best in the franchise, SM was better than XY, and SV was better than SwSh (which was the worst) and SM.

why do people seethe so readily at gen 5?
>>
>>58372883
>gen 5 fag
>>SM glazer
unironically hang yourself, you worthless faggot
The only fags worse than genwunners are gen 5 and alola inbreds
>>
>>58372955
because it's shit
>>
>>58372955
because genfivvers are the new genwunners, just even more obnoxious
Even alolafags arent as annoying as those two other groups

Cry more, you little faggots. I played Red on launch, while you idiots weren't even born.
>SM glazer
Being better than XY isn't a high bar.
>>
>>58372955
Mass idiocy. They think that gen 5 being good means that their favorite (whichever they played first) is bad.
>>
>>58373007
I am old enough to be your father, I was there when every gen came out.
Gen 5 was shit and still is, meanwhile gen 7 was and still is overrated (LGPE is part of your faggot gen btw).
Gen 6 isnt great either, but it is still better than the bort shit that came afterwards.
The shit gens start as of gen 5, 7 or 8, depending on how you define it.
Either way, gens 1-4 are the only proper old gens, 5+ is modern.
>>
>>58373037
*yawn*
>>
>>58371855
And I still hate mega swampert. Ugly ass fucker, literally lost everything that made swampert cool.
>>
>>58371853
Mega swampert is awesome, love that they nailed it on my favorite pokemon.
Praying its in ZA. I’ll just chuck cuckgatr out.

the only controversial thing there was SV > SM

>>58375319
good*
>>
>>58371853
swampert was meme'd like all fat mon get, but once it was found out he's a gigachad in rain most people liked him
sceptile being so shit lost a lot of the hype it goes
>>
>>58372984
>Oly two games with a decent story
Have fun expanding land and sea
>>
>>58371855
Mega Swampert has no weaknesses except grass that it can BTFO of with Ice Beam/Punch. My boy Swampert is the GOAT.
>>
>>58371853
At least they tried Something with these, ZA Megas look so lackluster, like they didn't even try
>>
>>58371853
Here? No, nothing is ever received well here.
>>
>>58372955
Most obnoxious and self-important of all the different gen warriors, collectively pissed off basically everyone with their holier than thou obnoxious nonsense.
>>
>>58371853
Overall I'd say yes, even Swampert.
Mega Swampert is my favorite, and is somewhat a continuation of the line's memes:
>i herd u liek mudkipz
>Marshtomp's ORAS model
>le x4 weak to grass
>steroids
