Why do so many people bully Zeraora and treat it like a laughing stock?
>>
Probably because it's supposed to be a mythical Pokemon but it has the design of the final stage of a Starter or early route mon
>>
>>58646543
it's a mythical (a category comprised of rare and unique pokemon) made solely to pander to furfaggots. it has no interesting lore or abilities to speak of. what exactly makes it "mythical"?
>>
>>58646566
Most of the mythical pokemon could easily be regular legendary pokemon or even non-legendary. The mythical status is only because you obtain it via events and to promote movies and game freak gave them “special” lore to make it seem worth the hassle

are people really bullying her?
>>
I only remember "she" exists whenever "she" is featured in something. I like the trans inclusion of "her" mega evo, though.
>>
>>58646543
Bro TPC also treats it as a laughing stock. It has no lore, and is shoehorned into the movie for like 10 mins and barely even in the anime.

Cause you touched yourself at night

Idk. I've always liked her.

>early route mon
I can see some kind of Electric starter-ish Pokemon, or even a Lucario/Zoroark clone, but early route mon is pushing it
>>
>>58646543
It's literally just a furry. Not like, "oh this pokemon is furbait", it's actually JUST a furry. There's nothing interesting or unique about it, they made an anthro cat and slapped generic electric stuff on it and called it a Pokemon.
>>
>>58646566
>or abilities
I mean, in game, sure. Plasma Fists kinda sucks. However, the Pokedex notes that it can control electromagnetism to the point that it acts like a rail gun. That's pretty cool and unique.
>>
>>58646543
Zero Aura lol

It's just a literally who mythical, like I don't even know what the fuck this thing's story is
Plus it looks like a shitty Sonic OC, it tries way too hard to be cool

Because it can’t fucking produce its own electricity.

Because he is

>Physical electric

>Being Mythical means you are not allowed to use it in the Battle Tree. AKA: no fun allowed
>Has a signature. When does he learn it? Lv 90
>Most likely a Digimon that confounded his way to Appmon
>The third furfag, but has nothing cool to back him up
>Barely appeared in his movie. Everyone was focusing on the gyaru or the garterbellt wearing loli
>Had one episode. But instead of being a cool Ultra Arc in the destroyed Ultraverse, Ash leaves the very same episode
>Now his mega is just anthro Luxray

Zeraora was made to be a shillmon. But his approach was so fucking bad, you may add it to the fillermons. Every time he appears, it's an spectacle to see how TPC will fuck his appearance.

Zeraora only had positive reception until the underwhelming mega reveal. I am immune to gaslighting, so nyeh.
>>
>>58647522
>Zeraora only had positive reception
Fucking where? Certainly not here. /vp/ always hated it and most people don't care for it outside of this board either, it's only basic furfags and nip kids that like it.
>>
>>58646584
What's it's special lore, then? It has no presence in any of the game settigns, does it have any actual Lore at all?
>>
>>58647634
Allegedly, he is supposed to be Thunder incarnate. A thunderbolt hit a sacred rock/thing/mc guffin, and Zeraora was created.
After that, his lore is sparce. Some follow the movie. Others the ultra episode. But he doesn't have something settle in stone.
>>
>>58647746
That is damn weak lore. And not very interesting, either

Isn't that Raikou?

Is very basic

>>58647865
No, you see, he was created by lightning, WHEN A VOLCANO ERUPTED. Totally different!
Let's not get into the discussion this is similar to Raikou, only that instead of a volcano it was a giant fenix, that has the power of a volcano.

Unironically produced a lot of better designs than mainline digimon. One of the very few series where I liked all the protagonist mons

why

Man, Zera looks more menacing on all fours. I bet if its mega evolution had it get down, it would be better to look at without having to change anything else.

>Is just a generic bipedal cat thing. Absolutely fucking put in its place when the first good bipedal cat was introduced several gens later (Meowth doesn't count, it was originally a quadruped)

I have nothing nice to say about Zeraora. There is nothing appealing about its design. There is nothing interesting in its moveset. It's just an electric cat thing that stands on two legs. By far, it is the worst mythical Pokemon design, and it's worse than many modern designs that are rightfully shat on.

The only noteworthy appearance it had was in the future world Ash and Pikachu went to where Guzzlord was eating everything, and even then it wasn't even that interesting.
>>
I would have took any other mythical getting a Mega over Zeraora, its by far one of the most boring and judging by its Mega design seems the artist think so too.
>>
>>58647936
Better than the stupid triangle with a sprinkle donut on its back. I don't even need to post an image. You know who I'm referring to.
>>
>>58647899
It seems to get on fine without it. Probably for awesome anime *gets hit with a lightning bolt but throws it back fifty times stronger!!!*
>>
>>58647945
>Gets hit with a lightning bolt but throws it back fifty times stronger!
Zeraora may do cool shit, but he can't pull off the cool looks to back them up. He ain't Zuko.
>>
>>58647936
That's what it is, isn't it? So much 'this thing is powerful and special and you should love it' without any actual reason why. Tryhard energy. The more the Pokemon company tries to go on about how super and special and awesome it is without giving us any actual reason to care, the more everyone seems to hate the damn thing.
>>
>>58646543
He was uglier than Incineroar but got the gay shota furbait up and coming.

I hate Zero aura as much as the next guy but lets not act like Meowscrada is good
>>

>uglier than incineroar
Whoa whoa, hold up there pal
>>
>>58647983
That reminds me. There wasn't a Zeraora comic where he is a bottom, and a female Incineroar buck break his ass? Or was it a gay one? I can't remember.

GameFreak decided to introduce Zeraora in the same generation as Tapu Koko, knowing full well Tapu Koko mogs the shit out of it back then.
Only after nerfing the Tapus and introducing a bunch of Pokemon between both’s speed tiers and giving Zeraora a Mega is Zeraora getting any recognition.

It also has “my nephew’s favorite Pokemon” design too.
>>
>>58647872
>isn't that just zap cannon
Nah, zap cannon is some sort of attack by using electricity itself, and without making contact.
This is using electromagnetism to propel yourself like a railgun projectile at the enemy.
VERY different.

That's a bold assumption.

So, one is a cannon, the other is a slingshot with a twist.

“GUYS what if we make Lucario AGAIN but this time he’s MYTHIC n shit”

>>58646550
Did any leaked docs indicate Zeraora was going to be anything else??
>>
>>58648048
>slingshot with a twist
I guess Zeraora COULD star in a game about Angry Cats with that attitude. But sure.
Doesn't change the fact that zap cannon still isn't a rail gun :P
>>
>>58648097
>Doesn't change the fact that zap cannon still isn't a rail gun :P
But that's what I said.
Zap cannon is basically you going "Kamehameha!", put your hands/extremities together, and shot a large ammount of electricity into a target.
Meanwhile, a railgun is basically using a small electromagnetic, put a small rebar/metal object, and then create a small opening. For some fucking reason, all the magnetic energies shoot out, and the metal object get the american speed limit of "FUCK OFF!", destroying the target.

But a funny fact: turns out that using electricity to charge railguns is still impossible. One prototype for an assault rifle was made, and after shooting the first mag, the battery went from 100 to 69. Railguns are still not a viable choice unless you are using a tank. Basically an overcomplicated catapult.

Event Pokemon used to be special, godlike.
After Gen 4, they became more and more ordinary. Zeraora is just yellow Lucario.
>>
>>58646543
Geniunely? Without movies, mythicals have nothing to their name anymore. Zeraora is pretty much the perfect example. Sure its "popular" with japanese kids but why settle there? If LameFreak cannot bother with making mythicals any different other than weird distribution, just turn the mon into a legendary. Pecharunt was a an okay step in the right direction but its time to just stop making mythicals
>>
A reminder that these are Zeroaura's mythical contemporaries for the same generation. GameFreak went 2 for 3 on good Alola mythicals.

Fuck GF for not making them available outside Go until SWSH, how can they debut in Gen VII while skipping the Gen VII games

I know, I'm just poking fun at other people. Didn't make that clear enough, sorry.
>a funny fact
Technically, the energy is the least of your problems. Man-portable railguns were never really an option, even with China's posturing that they have one. Most militaries wanted to adopt it for the navy, because having something that can engage BVR at supersonic speeds without expensive propellants would be wonderful, and electricity is rather reliable on a ship.
Unfortunately, railguns are very, VERY mechanically violent and have a tendency to tear themselves apart. Early railguns couldn't be fired after a couple dozen shots. Current railguns struggle beyond 1000 without total replacement. For comparison, the notoriously unreliable 14 inch guns that were abandoned from multiple navies because planes were more effective handled around 300 before minor servicing was needed.

They are both so good. Marshadow shouldve gotten a mega instead of zeroshit
