Two bangers and a flop.
Emboarsisters…why did our starter flop twice?
>>58813985>>58813993They all flopped
>>58813993Sweatie stop. Mega Emboar is the best designed of the whole trio.
>>58813994There was a poll where Mega Meganium beat every smega starter except CHARIZARD, it’s an evergreen shillmon now
>>58813996The flames on it's chest and back look fake. The scepter looks retarded and ugly. Should've ditched the bipedal look.
>>58813985They look so fucking stupid holy shit
>>58813993Idk, how. It's pretty clear that people consider it a upgrade design.
>>58813997>it beat a poll with a bleak as fuck competition lol
>>58813997What are you talking about lmaoIn the last poll I saw, Meganium lost to Sceptile and Chesnaught, and was tied with Venusaur for being the worst grass mega>it’s an evergreen shillmon nowIs this whole post satire lmfao
chimecho clears
>>58814002
>>58813985One banger and two flops. Emboar remains one of the most disliked starters ever and people vastly prefer base Feraligatr over its trash mega. This series really needs creative guardrails.
>>58814108Alright, I take it back. The shiny looks badass and now I can see how the flames and bottom tuft of fur make a cool face.
>even with the mass shilling & forced typhlosion cancel campaign they couldn’t surpass the badgers popularity Kwab!
>>58814152OH NO NO NO NO
>>58813985>Megainum’s mega goes further on the base concept(grows extra flowers)>Emboar’s mega goes further on the base concept(looks more like ancient warlord)>Feraligatr’s mega regresses to resemble its baby form because….lol?One is not like the others lol
>>58813985>Two bangers and a flop.Oh I see. Chimecho and Bax in the background are bangers meanwhile the ZA starters as a whole are a flop. I get it!
growin on yagrowin on ya doe
>>58813985Meganium's only Fairy-type move is Dazzling Gleam. If it got Pixelate that would also not even help it since all of its Normal-type moves are Physical. It has absolutely no reason for that secondary typing, it hurts it so bad by introducing a 4x weakness to a common offensive type. It's such a shitmon that it is frustrating. Why did they set it up to fail so hard?
to the fags who dont like mega emboar genuinely whats your issues with it?it seems the most organic and natural out of the 3 on what an "advanced" form of that mon would look like
>>58814266He gets Adapability to boost Dazzling Gleam to 160
>>58814329The only way I can see M-Meganium getting salvaged with its ZA movepool is if it gets Drought so that way it can actually use its fat spa for Solar Beams and Synthesis gets jacked since the fucker is still slow and will end up taking hits
>>58813985Megaynium is a flop
>>58814266Surprised it didn’t get Fleur Cannon, when it’s literally supposed to be a flower cannon
>>58814266In what universe is Poison a common offensive type?
>>58813985Meganium won.
>>58813985Honestly, I'm happy the board schizo is obsessed over feraligatr because meganium is the worst mega of all time. It's boring and retarded and I'm the biggest Chikorita defender... Fuck it's so stupid and lazy too. It ruins Meganium. FUCK I HATE IT SO MUCH!
>>58815180>meganium is the worst mega of all time.Mega Pyroar says hi
>>58815583>He can't take the 炎
>>58814548and Light of Ruin
>>58814002>r word Imagine using slurs in 2026
>>58815697as a retard myself I'm allowed to use it, just like faggot and nigga
>>58813985I will never understand how someone gave Mega Gatr the ok. Even by GF standards, it’s just impossible to conceive it taking place
>>58814082>Twitter pollOh wow
>>58816189GF hates Feraligatr, it's a humiliation ritual
>>58813985
>>58817362emboar somehow looks worse than feraligatr heremeganium looks great though
>>58815697Cry about it retard
>>58817938Hard disagree
>>58817938It’s the tiny head. It looks retarded.
>>58813985There's just no fixing these shitters, they've failed like three times now
>>58818078You mean GSC, HGSS, PLZA for Meg and Fer and BW, B2W2 and PLZA for Emb?
>>58814331>The only way I can see M-Meganium getting salvaged with its ZA movepoolIt's called waiting for Champions since Legends games have shallow movepools.Did anyone NOT learn from Legends Arceus? And besides it'll get Body Press back and who's to say it won't get even more moves?
>>58818479Let's hope so.
>>58813985So is this place under any kind of CCTV? Somebody should fap in front of Mega Meganium pls.
>>58813993Emboar was the best both times what do you mean?
>>58819461Serperior > Emboar > Samurott-U
>>58814266>Meganium's only Fairy-type move is Dazzling Gleam.Which it couldn't even learn before ZA. Hell, there's a non-zero chance it won't even have that in Champions if they just copypaste the SV move lists.
>>58813985They're all ugly fat jobmon flops
>>58820040What's Meganium's jerb?
>>58820047being a kid's toy
>>58819773I want to say that would be too retarded even for Game Freak but a Pokemon not having any STAB options in a modern game would be up their alley while Incineroar gets yet another move to maintain its relevancy in VGC.
>>58820047Being cute.
>>58817362>look up mega emboar fanart>it’s always drawn in this exact same basic pose really show how clunky and non-functional the design is even next to mega feraligatr.
>>58813985Three flops
>>58820734Skibidigatr drags them down so hard, holy shit
>>58820742Typedo is dragging down the other one
>>58820734>plasscuck still think his bottes polls means anything now that we know that ZA outsold his precious tech demo
>>58820742Embort drags them down so hard, holy shit >>58820746Shitmutott is dragging down the other oneftfy
>>58820747>it's bottled because i said so!!!! Keep down that goalpost buddy
>>58820746>typed-Opinion discarded
>>58820767owlsisters…our favourite starter flopped twice….where no better than Emborts…
>>58820742So many people that were riding on Totodile train in February got hit with the biggest disappointment of their lives once the leaks came out. The mega design pretty much made everyone into doomers that think megas were never good and that all of the new ones suck.
>>58813985The biggest failure starter trio, what a waste of Mega Evolutions
>>58820782Holy Kek, Bravo Game Freak you made no one like this shit trio by turning the only one people gave a fuck about into a toilet, this series is so retarded kek
>>58820796They needed to give people a reason to use the other two which worked for Meganium at least.
>>58820782Which is pretty funny considering emboar still ranked lower than feraligatr in the most recent poll even with gatr being sabotaged
>>58820798I don't trust Japan tastes because they actually think that Mega Starmie is a good design to be number 2.
>>58820801>d-doesn’t count!Holy cope
>>58820798>even a mega couldn’t make people care about le china pigamazing
>>58820800I know base Emboar is going to be unpopular no matter what, but I've seen better reception of his mega in multiple polls online than Mega Feraligatr. Even just the fact that both megas for Emboar and Meganium are seen as improvements while Feraligatr's Mega is seen as a downgrade speaks volumes. I only wish I knew what the other two's mega placement is in the Japanese poll.
>>58820845>all china loving amerimutt pollsirrelevant
>>58820859>>58820814
>>58820859I wonder if gamefreak ever planned on completing the Romance of Three Kingdoms trio with later starters.Emboar = Zheng Fei??? = Liu Bei??? = Guan Yumaybe when we get a Chinese region.
>>58820889Which type would they be?
>>58820892Liu Bei would be grass since he is the kind and merciful one(despite tossing his infant son in anger at one point in the story)Guan Yu is the arrogant one so water type.Zheng Fei is the hotheaded one so that one clears.
>>58820931>Liu BeiHorse>Guan Yu Tiger>Zheng FeiBoar
>>58820986Would be more funnier if Guan Yu was a Yangtze river dolphin and Liu Bei was a Macrauchenia.
>>58820845>hisHer.
>>58820782>only 1 starter to choose fromyeah, chikoritabeen saying this from the start
>>58820801Japan loves it because Staryu and Starmie are callbacks to Ultraman and 'Warning from Space.'
>>58820782Good. They deserved it for disrespecting and not believing in Tepig.
>>58820751Nah, the consensus is:Typhlosion > Samurott > Decidueye
>>58821958>Typhlosion puts on eyeshadow>Samurott gets edgy black and red armor>Decidueye gets a cool autumn-themed outfit>Somehow the fag beats the edgelord and the good designIt's a well-established fact that the majority has shit taste. Decidueye very clearly has the best form, but somehow it's not even remotely popular.
>>58821969Masters devs gave Typedo to Morty instead of the PLA protagonists at least
>>58821958based
>>58820064how much does "kid's toy" pay?
what were they thinking?
>>58822721How much does being a janny pay? That's right, Meganium does it for free.
>>58824046Meganium also lives in your head, for free.You're fucking obsessed so I thereby dub thee anti-meganiumfag.
>>58824052>In a thread with a topic ABOUT meganium>m-muh rent-freeMost intelligent muttganiumfag.
>>58821677>still a faggot
>post about feraligatr itt: 75>post about meganium itt: 54>post about emboar itt: 6
>>58823521The fucker who designed this shit should get corporal punishment and have it live-streamed to the world
>>58825090>54>154meme magic
>>58824060Not exclusively about Meganuim you retard.
>>58826129>Battle gimmick form>Is theoretically WORSE at fighting
>>58818001>>58816181Edgy. Y'all must be fun at parties
Thing thing is so bad they even forgot to color it correctly
>>58826218Retard takes offense
>>58826726Your so cool bro
>>58826927And you're retarded.
>>58826955
>we live in a society where glorified cardboard is $1,000Ted Kaczynski had a point.
>>58827718This Mega Emboar slander needs to be punishable by jail.
>>58827786Why? He’s right.
>>58827718The fuck is this on about? Cards are generally valued by rarity and how good they are in the game, with character popularity tertiary at best (in Yughioh this is often called the waifu tax for obvious reasons). Mega Emboar ex probably is just complete ass despite being somewhat of a rare pull, which happens sometimes
>>58821958>another husbando/waifu bait Typhlosion: Ghost Edition>Samurott but Deviantart>Decidueye but uglier colors and ugly Japanese hat that makes it look like a kappa instead
>>58827759He was straight spittin facts
>>58827718Don't care about some crytobro shit. Logan Paul ruined the TCG landscape.
>>58827786Mega Emboar's design is a crime in itself
>>58827786True, but people just want to hate on Emboar no matter what.
>>58827837>>58814108
>>58827831Any collectable item worth comes from its market rarity and/or demand.Emboar has less demand despite being as rare as the other two megas, and times rarer than other more valuable cards.Compare Emboar scores in the polls, art, etc and you see a pattern.
>>58827960What does Emboar have to do with my post? I said I don't care about some collector crypto shit.
>>58827718>Pikachu's ex is worth more than all the ZA starters combined
>>58829037grim
>>58828156okay emboarfag
>>58828156woosh
>>58827718>TCGarbageOne guy managed to inflate the value of a Kabuto card all by himself.
3 flops except one is a retarded fucking disaster, CinderFLOP
>>58831077Cinderace still gets merch and is popular. The other two either were never popular (Rillaboom) or only popular with a subset of a demographic (Inteleon)
>>58831077Lol this place still thinks Cinderace flopped
>>58813985Emboar is a fucking disaster, flop of all flops, it flopped twice
>>58831077Rillanigga major flop
>>58831128When was this poll conducted? Asking because 2023 was year of the (water) rabbit, so that might have had some influence on which mons Japan preferred at that time (year of the monkey was 2016).
>>588313262020-2021
>>58831128The funniest thing is that Rillaboom is the most competitively viable starter
>>58813985The ZA starters are so dogshit lol
>>58831396Yeah that tends to happen when you give something one of the best abilities in the game
>>58831396Cinderace good for SinglesInteleon Rillaboom good for Doubles
>>58831101Because CinderFLOP, FLOPPED!
>>58813985Most failed starter trio. These will be memoryholed quickly.
>>58831447KEK Based
>>58827819you can just tell Game Freak wanted them to flop or didn't give a shit
>>58826421Having to draw that AI trash zenith must be the biggest humiliation ritual imaginable. Can't blame whichever poor soul had to
