>the gimmick is... magicthis is retarded, since all Pokemon are magical creatures and use magical powers...this is completely redundant and pointless
>>58760260How many more seething threads are you going to make about this mon?
>the gimmick is a performance artist specialising in slight-of-hand tricks that appear so unbelievable as to be akin to magicYeah Captain Duhpants, of COURSE they seem "magical". But that's more in the "beautiful or delightful in a way that seems removed from everyday life" sense, rather than the "relating to magic" sense, given the basis for all pokémon powers are elemental energies, just as all humans' energy comes from the solar sun charging the shit we eat with ITS energy. the physics of their world operates differently to ours, but that doesn't mean they're practicing magic in their universe. Except Meow, she's a performance magician.
>>58760269How long will it take for humanity to abandon all sense and reason and pick a cold, slimy frog over a warm, furry cat? Because the fact it didn't feel the need to react like this towards any of the other grass starters seems to imply it only got legitimately mad, when the world at large favoured the Grass starter, because it was something that utterly broke the mould for what a Grass starter usually was.
>>58760286>How long will it take for humanity to abandon all sense and reason and pick a cold, slimy frog over a warm, furry cat? Everyone already love greninja
>>58760260Its not magic. Its illusion.
>>58760260It does magic tricks, not literal magic
>>58760289>illusionAlakazam and Gengar family did that before (at least in the anime)>>58760296Mr. Mime did that too
>sceptiles power is just climbing trees>torterra just lugs shit around>serperior slithers around really fast..idk op, most grass are shitters
Post it.
>>58760306old pokemon weren't jobmons, they were just monsters.dumb argument, zoomie
>>58760288Because it was bipedal and edgy as fuck. It also wasn't a grass starter, thus innately more useful in a game playthrough than any grass starter to that point or beyond up to Meow. We're not talking about water frogs, we're talking specifically about the world's reception and reaction to grass starters since the series first launched in general, with a focus on why Meow succeeded while everything before her (a majority plethora of reptiles and dinosaur-related creations) failed abjectly.Almost as if the world's keyed to avoid and reject such things, due to our deep-seated animal instincts which cause us to avoid such things before we fully became the humans we have today.
>>58760333>Because it was bipedal and edgy as fuck. And more beloved than your favorite
>>58760303>at least in the animelol. And Meow's a slight-of-hand type illusionist, not an ACTUAL "i will magically roject an illusitory scene directly into your brain" type shit. Zoroark can actually do THAT in canon (no in-game evidence gengar can, all we've seen it do it hover menacingly invisible).
>>58760314The very first batch had a pokémon based off performance artists, you hilariously obtuse, inept disingenuous little zoomie spastic. Please kindly remove yourself and fuck off back to discord where you clearly and obviously belong.
>>58760336No, it got dexcut, 'Zard hasn't missed a new Gen game since Dexit started (and won't, kek). Nice try though :) And Meow's going to remain the most popular grass starter, until they make another mammalian feminine grass starter to share her spot.
>>58760344>it got dexcut So did charizard in legends arceus
>58760314>all the precious grass starters had powers!>uh no they didn’t, here’s a list of ones that didn’t .:> uhh ok they didn’t but they were jobmons!Anymore goalposts Ivytroon?
>>58760260No,retard -- the gimmick is me (and you, let's not pretend anything otherwise) wanting to fuck it.Quite a good one, I must say.
>>58760333>It also wasn't a grass starter, thus innately more useful in a game playthrough than any grass starter>the world's reception and reaction to grass starters since the series first launchedChanging the main type triangle from Fire/Water/Electric to Fire/Water/Grass was the franchise's biggest mistake. The third starter line should have been the Gorochu line while the Venusaur line should've stayed as the generic grass line for Erika and the midgame routes.The space taken up by the Vileplume and Victreebel lines, who were made to replace the Venusaur line after it got promoted to starter and thus became unavailable in the wild, could've gone towards other Pokemon more deserving to be in the original 151 (Kotora)
It appears her superiority has led to some controversy
What’s the fag ducks power then?
>>58760336>And more beloved than your favoriteIs that why when the plush dolls of the starters first came out Sprigatito instantly sold out while the other two were still sitting on the shelves?
>>58760385gay magical water
>>58760351And so did Greninja. And Venusaur at that, while it got relegated to DLC in SS and outright dexcut in base SV until DLC brought every starter back. 'Zard persists and Meow won this Gen. Two facts that'll perennially piss your peon self off.
>>58760367It never was going to be electric you dense retard and gorochu was cut before they even got to full beta stage. Can you please stop spewing your fanfiction on the internet, there's impressionable kids who don't know any better will parrot it.
>>58760417Being based off a popular real-world animal instead of a slimy amphibian.
why is he obsessed with Greninja so suddenly?
>>58760489mindbroken
>>58760367Electric would be weak to fire because?
>>58760351Plass doesn’t count.
>words words wordsshe won>b-b-b-but gender rat-she won
>>58760510Realised he couldn’t convince anyone the grass toad is more popular so he jumped types
It's not actually "magic". As noted in the Pokedex and shown in the anime, its flower isn't actually floating, the stem is just camouflaged so as to appear invisible.
>>58761589Damn that’s a stiff battle
>>58760260You are confusing mage and magician, retard. It's a trickster or an illusionist. It also has elements of a jester and the gentleman thief trope. It's embarrassing how fucking dumb you are.
>>58761646Still not a power
>>58761589holy shit the animations look abysmalno wonder the anime flopped
>>58761667Okay, and? Why is that relevant or a detriment? Stop acting like a child.
>his meow thread got more attention than the ivysaur onekek
>>58760489Actual fucking retard
>>58760260Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's magic.
>>58762935What’s her power then?
>>58760333>everything before her failed abjectlySceptile is one of the most popular starters in the franchise and has been promoted a lot (one of Ash’s main Pokemon in the anime, got a good-looking mega, got into Pokken, etc.
>>58762942Redpills
>>58760260It's stage magic, you retard. Just because English is a retarded language that doesn't have different words for stage magic and "real" magic doesn't make the gimmick dumb.
>>58763006>English is a retarded language that doesn't have different words for stage magic and "real" magicIllusion. Prestidigitation. Sleight of hand.
>>58763018Those are not the most commonly used words for what a stage magician does on stage.
>>58760385 gay
What’s serperiors and Sceptile as “power?”
>>58762947Yeah, bullshit. It being popular when there were 3 gens total does not make it popular through many years fuckwit. Just means there was fuck all of note to pick from prior. The fact Speed Boost Torchic with Blazikenite was XY's early adopter bonus and not in fact Treeko with Sceptilite kinda neuters your popularity claim. As always, marketing dollars spent hold a greater weight and they didn't spend a penny on sceptile until it was time to shill ORAS and it by proxy.
>>58762928>no counterargumentConcession accepted ya dense retard. Seethe more about your dwagon shitmon rat getting ganked. Hopefully, you'll get yours too soon.
>>58763469you sound mad
Ivymelt lol
>>58760260The gimmick is the appeal to a certain demographic anon they knew exactly what they were doing.
>>58760385Bend gay
Meowsca is all about the legs
>>58760260The gimmick is... thighs, and hips, and smug
