>>
>>58855253

Where is Seviper
Where is Delcatty
>>
>Slowpoke is a shillmon
>Bro and King, who are just as cool, aren’t
Thads sad regards, sadfrog
>>
>>58855253
are you judging based on how popular they are, or how much they're shilled?
>>
>>58855262
You lost btw
>>
>>58855271
We all lost when Quaquaval was introduced
>>
also where’s Braixen? Should be at least B tier
>>
>>58855253
Zoroark and Samurott literally receive more shilling than half of the mons in C
>>
Gholdengo will make it to Smash somehow.
>>
>>58855274
>All barafags lost when quaquaval was introduced
Fixed that for you
>>
>>58855253
I feel like Umbreon and Sylveon should be above the other Eeveelutions. Also, has Pichu had any significant shilling since like 2010?
>>
>>58855253
Absol is in B now
>>
>>58855280
When I said "we all", I meant "everybody"
You can cope all you want, but that's the truth. It will always be dramatically inferior to both the cat and the croc who are both way more popular and more useful in competitive
>>
>>58855253
Oshawott should definitely be higher for one reason or another, probably one of the most shilled starters
>>
>>58855253
>Ditto A
>Gholdengo A
wat
>>
>>58855253
You could make an argument for Rayquaza in A.
>>
>>58855253
I feel like this would be an interesting analysis if not for some obvious bias in the results.
>>
>>58855253
Gengar should be bumped up one tier. It still gets more than Gardevoir on average.

>>58855261
Eevees that aren’t the base all make sense in B, since they’re treated as ancillary backup dancers to their prevo; it’s the same sort of deal as the non-Charizard Kanto starters. Sylveon is the only one that really has the privilege to potentially rise, since it’s treated as the “leader” or the most important one when Eevee isn’t present.
>>
you kind of went full retard with that c rank
>>
>>58855253
Is Gardevoir even shilled, or is it just really popular online? I don't think I see actual official materials focusing on Gardevoir any more than any other random Pokemon.
>>
>>58855262
That's the first time I've seen the run animation. Holy hell, that's atrocious. I'm glad I never cared enough to check.

Pikachu should have its own "Pika" tier since it's the literal mascot and face of the franchise. It's like calling Sonic a shill character for Sonic the Hedgehog or Metroid a popularity vote for his own namesake game series
>>
Mudkip was literally a meme for like 8 years, how does that not earn A at minimum?
>>
>>58855434
Every portrayal of it is overwhelmingly positive or powerful, It’s a champion ace, was an important character in got a mega, gets powerful cards all the time, more merch than most starters, is in Unite, and probably at lot more stuff I’m forgetting atm

>>58855462
That’s organic fan popularity not shilling

>>58855434
Gardevoir started to get shilled in 2013 as a response to its popularity online, nowadays its one of the main shillmons
>>
>>58855462
Because Mudkip isn't really a shillmon (or just not more than the other first stage starters from hoenn). All the memes surrounding the line are organic. Game Freak had no impact on this. And I'd say that Mudkip was the most cucked out of the 3 in the anime.
However I am a bit surprised that Game Freak didn't try to capitalize on this (even though the meme was originally a 4chan copypasta). Even without the memes, Mudkip really had crazy potential.
>>
do the fags that use this board seriously have a hard time understanding what shilling is? there's been more people having to explain it itt than discussion about the list itself
>>
>Chomp that high
>CinderFLOP not in Flopped

OP is wrong & a faggot
>>
>>58855532
Reminder that /vp/edo is literally the dumbest board on 4chin.
>>
>>58855543
>>Chomp that high
It has two megas, never got dexcut and is usually paired with the most shilled champion of all time appearing in 3 games and one remake that barely counts as a game. Garchomp IS a bigger shillmon than most of the list.
>>CinderFLOP not in Flopped
I don't particularly like it either, but you're delusional if you think it flopped, especially with normies AND furfags.
>>
>>58855253
I'll never be amazed at how GF preferred to sabotage the frog rather than have another Charizard-tier starter shillmon.
The Kalos League loss will forever be the greatest mistake this franchise ever committed.
>>
>>58855505
> However I am a bit surprised that Game Freak didn't try to capitalize on this
Because the only time game freak has ever shilled in response to popularity was with Pikachu being promoted from early game fodder to the mascot. Every other shillmon was made with the intent of being a shillmon to the point where game freak will double down even if people don’t like like, if a pokemon that wasn’t made to be a shillmon somehow get organically popular game freak will ignore it or outright sabotage it. The only reason Mudkip line gets anythijg is due to Hoenn privilege ensuring that Hoenn startsrs will alway get fed

Never heard of this. Is it solely because of Blaziken? Because this one got shilled a lot.

You can knock Gengar up two tiers

Garchomp gets shilled because of Cynthia not the other way around

The fagducks should be at the bottom of the list.
>>
>>58855253
Tyranitar should be on here. It’s easily more shilled than any of the Johto starters, Swampert or Quaquaval.

Rillaboom should be in flopped.
>>
>>58856342
the galar starters were really shitty but I'm surprised that people didn't pick grookey more. Sobble was the most hated starter out of the three when it was revealed and honestly it took more heat than pretty much any starter reveal I'd seen since maybe oshawott or tepig. Maybe worse than them. People fucking hated sobble when he was revealed.
>>
>>58856349
Inteleon is actually decently popular with girls, so Sobble is saved by that.
>>
>it flopped
>no one likes it
DOES NOONE READ THE OP??! IT’S HOW MUCH A POKÉMON IS SHILLED. WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE LIKE IT IS IRRELEVANT. ALL THAT MATTERS IS HOW MUCH RESPECT IT GETS FROM TPC (GAME FREAK, CREATURES, NINTENDO) AND THE MAKERS OF SPIN-OFFS
>>
>>58856288
>reddit
>>
>>58856297
The poll is from Reddit, so of course the top spots would go to the most reddit starters.
Everything after reflects the general playerbase though.
>>
>>58856366
That's dumb logic. Then, why Zoroark in flopped? It got a movie, a regional variant, was Gladion's pokemon in the anime, was chosen by Arceus in the Masters EX mobile game, etc. Hell, since when did Psyduck getting anything recently to still be in C and not flopped?
>>
>>58855253
Scorbunny, Rowlet, Oshawott, Sprigatito, Psyduck, Slowpoke and Magikarp needs to move up one
>>
>>58856383
Because OP is as stupid as most of this board and probably one of those people still seething about Unova do some reason
>>58856370
How are Cyndaquil, Rowlet, and Mudkip Reddit?
>>
>>58855253
Where is Arceus, who bascially owns every other Mythical Pokemon by having its own game.

What do you think it means for a shill to flop, anon?
SSS to C are about how much shilling the Pokémon gets.
But flopping specifically means when the shill doesn’t pay off (the shill failed to make people like it)

Pretty much this list, except for Absol who is undershilled whereas Meltan and its evolution flopped.
>>
>>58856342
Cartoon gorilla is just THAT lame
Rilllaboon is not only the second most important starter in VGC (and easily in the top 5-6 Pokemon overall) but was even made one of the more prominent member of Leon (tHe StRonGest ChAMpIONRINO) in the Ashime, was even fed Diantha as a virgin sacrifice and was the only starter in the SWSH end credits yet still no one give a shit about this fucker except for a handful of contrarians and barafags, and even the latter already have BaraTigerofHealthyMeta to jack off too
>>
>>58856632
You didn't point out where I'm wrong.
>>
>>58856689
You didn't point >>58856342 wrong either
>>
>>58856627
Okay, but Oshawott and Zoroark should be much higher if you aren't being retarded
Then there's the Snivy line which didn't get much shilling but is naturally more popular than a lot of these
And why is Gholdengo so high?
