>in Battle Revolution, Honchkrow pretends to pull out guns and shoot them in its idle animation

It should have a signature move based on this idea where it shoots its feathers. It could be a Dark or Flying-type version of Scale Shot

that looks fucking retarded

But it's fine when the slop i grew up with does it according to 4chan retards
>>
>>58860821
Pokemon is full of slapstick though

The mainline games already do that without making the Pokemon into Looney Tunes characters.

>>58860830
Where? In the retarded ashnime?

Don’t check what Lucario is doing in OP’s image

Instead they just look like stupid slapstick cartoon characters now
>>

>UHM ACKSHUALLY THEY NEED TO JUST STAND STILL
In PBR Honchkrow -is- just standing still until it does its retarded cartoon idle animation while in the actual mainline games it’s constantly moving and flapping its wings. Make up your mind.
>>
>>58860849
If Pokemon wasn't slapstick, the Pokemon would actually take damage in battle instead of just shrugging everything off.

The setting is deliberately filtered through slapstick cartoon logic.
>>
>>58860849
>comparing the battle revolution animations to some of the most iconic cartoon characters in history
not the gotcha you think it is
>>
>>58860831
>>make really cool animations that characterize mons
But NOW when they do that everyone complains about pokemon species all having the same personality
pokecucks are so fucking incoherent
>>
>>58860872
These faggots have no standards beyond “thing I grew up with is good and thing I didn’t grew up with is bad”
>>
>it's okay for Blastoise to just stand there with water cannons completely static and immobile
>We wouldn't want it to lean over to actually aim the cannons and use it!
>>
>>58860881
The problem was never their behavior dipshit it was how they look. They dont look like a believable species that could exist in the wild
>>
>>58860930
And Honchkrow doing a retarded finger gun gesture also doesn’t look like a believable species that could exist in the wild. What’s your point?
>>
>>58860930
>They dont look like a believable species that could exist in the wild
"Believability" my ass when horseshoe magnets is the wildlife of the region
>>
>>58860930
>pocket monsters are animals
>>58860881
No one is making that argument. Quite the opposite, the mons on top actually have quite a bit of characterization.
>>
if honchkrow was released today people would shit on it for behaving too much like a human mafia mob instead of behaving like a bird admit it
>>
Why does /vp/ think schizophrenia is an argument?
>>
>>58860881
At what point did pokemon frowning after getting hit become the same as having a pokemon just be Gex or a cereal mascot defined only by its love for a human sport?
>>
>>58860999
At what point did a Pokemon that naturally kicks objects to attack become the same as a mob boss looney tunes character who does finger guns and tips his hat?

>And Honchkrow doing a retarded finger gun gesture also doesn’t look like a believable species that could exist in the wild.
There are plenty of examples of animals that behave in a wacky manner, there aren't examples of animals who look like they were drawn by Tex Avery
>>
>>58860809
Not every fucking thing needs a signature ability/move, getting really sick of this design philosophy
>>
>>58860941
Nobody shits on Swakabilly for looking like a greaser it becomes a problem when the theme overtakes the rest of the design, as is the case with most recent starters
>>
>>58861083
>it becomes a problem when the pokemon isn’t fat
ftfy
>>
>>58861083
>Nobody shits on Swakabilly
Because no one remembers that cartoon animal shitmon lmao
>>
>>58861011
Still waiting on your explanation on how pokemon frowning is the same as your retarded job themed cereal mascots
>>
>>58861216
Still waiting on your explanation on how pokemon kicking things is the same as a retarded mob boss cartoon character

Didn’t ask. Still waiting.

It's cool you absolute midwit. Go back to Smogon forums with your bitchass.
>>
>>58860809
I'm all for Stadium/etc's animations, and I know Honchkrow specifically has a mob boss theme, but pretend guns might be a bit much in a Pokemon game, even considering Inteleon's existence
>>
>>58860809
Thats its special attack animation
>>
>>58862437
Tommy guns wouldnt be considered controversial since they havent been used for crimes in decades
>>
Man you guys really took the bait. This board would be a better place if more people would holistically recognize obvious bait and just... not respond or interact with it.
>>
>>58861080
Why? It makes them more unique and useful.
>>
>>58862443
This, people forget Honchkrow was designed as a mixed attacker, not a Staraptor with Dark STAB
>>
>>58863118
Not a simple mixed attacker but a SLOW FRAIL MIXED ATTACKER
