You'll be apologizing to them in 24 hours

Cat and gator are fine. Duck is a travesty.
>>
No, I won't. I don't automatically hate new (or nu) thing because it's new like the rest you peon fuckers. And I still think Sprig line's the only worthwhile set of the three, so why the fuck would I apologise to two also rans, or best kitty? Mindset hasn't (and likely won't) change.

I liked all 3 of these guys when they were revealed.
>>
>>58964605
they were always good, just ruined in the final stage, just like the gens 7 and 8 starters
>>
>>58964607
quaxly is great. its just his evolutions that are abominations. if they went in the nautical direction and ran with the idea of him liking to keep things neat and tidy (ie shipshape) and had a final evo that was vaguely along the lines of honchkrow, with a big captains hat, thatd have been kino

instead we got quaquaval
>>
>>58964605
Nothing will top Sprigatito line

Yeah, that's what I meant, was the evolutions of Quaxly are a huge disappointment. Literally every fan's artwork was better than what we got.

Can we just get some cool looking animals as the final evos. I’m sick of them all being “they have people jobs XD”. The fact they’re now carrying around drums and soccer balls and fat asses for their carnival dances is such shit. The slippery slope of Samurott’s swords was precipitous

And without 'Zard pulling it up, it would be consigned to the same bin as Meganium et al. 'Zard does a LOT of heavy lifting for the kanto set, they're really not shy fucking out also-rans to focus on the shillmon/popular cunt. And without 'Zard being what it was, they wouldn't have the reason to also give them token representation (both got megas, but neither worked visually as well as both 'Zards, both got G-Maxes, while they were both better than their mega forms, neither were better than G-Max 'Zard). Venusaur's lucky to be genwun, any other gen it would be ignored just as badly as other quads are, if not worse.

>>2 mons shilled in the anime and used in promotion become popular with children
And 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

He used all three Galar starters, they prioritised Cinderace over his rillaboom and BOTH got WILDLY overshadowed by his Charizard. VGC's irrelevant to kids in general. that's why kids didn't give a shit for the munkey like monkeyfuckers did.

Because he wanted to challenge himself, if you'd watched journeys, you'd know (man was a grown-up Ash battle-wise. honour above all, outside the bo0x thinking, unpredictability). Notice you ignored Cinders forcing Ash to recall his lead and Ace, disrupting his battle plan. You really got born into a world where Lola bunny existed and wondered why people picked the bunny over the munkey. Wow, no words.

Rillaboom and Inteleon are some of the worst starters they’ve made.

Journeys is showing me that rillaboom was his second strongest pokemon that took ash multiple pokemon to take him down the pokemon that literally sweeped another champion
Rillaboom got more than the other two could imagine

>munkeyfucker delusion
That would still be Cinderace and Charizard. They also didn't need to lean as heavily on his Cinderace, because Goh had the bunny advertised ALL through the series and they needed to market the other starters, per the terms of their contract. So munkey got a promotion from drummerboy. Munkey also lost to a fish which Cinderace beat (while having a dual disadvantage of vs water and vs dragon) before it Gmaxed as the last Galar starter in series to Gigantamax (almost as if they new bunnymax would be a far more popular choice than munkeymax). Then of course we got 'Zard to finish it with another G-Max Pika battle. It's *almost* as if they deliberately decide what they need to do, while spastics try to cherry-pick events out--of-proper context to lie about popularity.

The truth is that nobody cares about Leon in the anime. People care more about one of the most useless characters just because she was by Ash's side.

Not quite. Jigglypuff and Meowth failed to break into the top 30. The former they used Lady Gaga to show how cool it is, and the latter just joined Unite.

>>58965333
Uh-hu. In the same game as Chesnaught, whose mega looks FAR better than "its neck gets longer and more flowery because we needed to justify Fairy type". I mean, they picked all three starters for L: Z-A to not overshadow the Kalos starters (only L: Z-A starter mega that loks good is emboar and it doesn't match 'Phoxy, 'Naught or forg). And outside ME, it really isn't popular (historical record until L: Z-A).
>>
>>58965352
Nah, they don't. No cunt has the basic decency to even TRY and design to their ruleset. And without the ruleset, it's a generic bullshit creature some turd thinks should be part of the series with the most stringent ruleset for what should and shouldn't be a pokémon. Sorry they didn't go whatever retarded direction you thought would be cool. But you're an irrelevance to them, they don't need you so don't need to care what you think.

>>
>>58964605
fuecoco is the only one that looks like a pokemon. Shitatito's head is twice the size of her body and looks like an LPS and then evolves into the most blatant tranny pornbaitmon since Gardevoir. The duck? Don't even get me started. He's abysmal, gay, his evolutions are even worse, and we already have fucking ducklett who is just quaxley but 10000x more well designed. Fuck cat and duckfags. The croc is actually kinda good. He looks like a little apple and when he evolves he remains a whimsical animal, which is what pokemon are.
>>
>>58965502
>until gen 4
Gen 3 starters are dubious.
And charizard is a dragon.
>>58965526
>he remains a whimsical animal
by which you mean singing clown jobmon with a bird

explain the legendaries, dragons, kaijus, ghosts, mime, jynx, hitmontop, hitmonchan...
>>
>>58965583
>jobmon
nigger if skeledirge is a jobmon, they're all jobmon. He's allowed to have a clown fro and firebird at the end of his nose and mic stand because he's a fucking ANIMAL and they work with his design. If he was bipedal and they gave him an elvis coat it wouldn't work nearly as well because that would have been way overdoing it.

>fan favorites like jynx
you are retarded.

>legendaries
Which legendaries look like human beings exactly? And no I'm not talking about Meloetta. Dragons, kaijus and ghosts are whimsical animals. Anyone can look at dusclops and see that he's clearly a creature of some kind. Nobody is beating their dick to him because he's spooky and cool looking. The tranny cat and faggot bird were made, seemingly intentionally, with the intention for trannies to draw porn of and fap to. It's shit. Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were not made with this intention.
>>
>>58965611
Stop being a facetious cunt, its markings make look like it's a male opera singer in a tux when it stands up to sing, it's as jobmon as fucking Primarina. ESPECIALLY when like Primarina, both its 'Dex entries mention its ability to sing (making it as an inherent trait of the line, thus a fucking jobmon, per /vp/ reckoning I don't care if something's employed or not, but almost everything popular since Gen 3 has had a job of some description, from kickboxer chickens, warrior monk monkeys to fucking wizards, singers and street magicians, while /vp shits themselves Pokémon can't be more like how it was in the dinosaur days of their youth. 20+ years removed from that era and all that societal evolution in between).

>>
>>58964652

they could have kept it a jobmon, but with better proportions like honchcrow at least

>Intellion is a lanky bipedal lizard that streaks across the map
>Rillaboom is just a gorilla basically, who pulls out a oak stump he uses as a drum, and he kind of has rockstar hair

let me be clear that im not even a rilla fan, but it's just objectively the least humanoid design, 100% by virtue of being an ape, but still. The only part that's really retarded is how it yanks a drum out of its ass when you send it out
>>
>>58964605
No, people will be falsely deluding themselves into thinking Gen 10's starters will finally "break the trend and go back to pure monster goodness like gen 1" and THEN they'll start seething when the evolutions start getting revealed.
THEN they'll apologize to Gen 9's starters.
>>
>>58965874
>it's just objectively the least humanoid design
Apes are more humanoid than both lizards and rabbit therefore not only you're wrong but a massive retard on top of that
>>
>>58965880
yes fine, it's technically humanoid, but gorillas are inherently humanoid, the same cannot be said for the soccer playing rabbit and the secret agent salamander.
No one really complains about Infernape being bipedal for the same reason, there's a difference between an ape being humanoid and a normal animal sprouting bugs bunny proportions
>>
>>58965874
>let me be clear that im not even a rilla fan, but it's just objectively the least humanoid design
and? who gives a fuck
it's got all the same problems of being an ugly jobmon without any of the charm of the unabashed corny ones like say incineroar, comes with its own problems in the stupid drum and is so boring as a mon that it's literally less interesting than a real life gorilla
easily the worst starter
>>
>>58965890
>Hairy human good but scalie human and bunny human bad
Ok
>>
>>58965897
rillaboom is proportioned like a gorilla, cinderace is not proportioned like a rabbit, intellion is not proportioned like a lizard
>>58965895
you can still think it's ugly, I would definitely put it towards the bottom of grass starters, I'm just telling you why people defend it, it looks the most like an animal and doesn't force the furry shit, it's not that rillaboom is a great design, but that the other two are aggressively humanoid jobmons that leave a bad taste in peoples mouths. I don't hate Incineroar either, but he's not part of the conversation, Cinderace is, and imo there's none of that "charm" there either.
>>

Maybe Inteleon. The bunny is still wildly popular.
>>
>>58965923

No the fuck it isn't

then why give them megas at all? give them nothing and let the Kalos starters megas be available in game like how the KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO starter megas were given to the player 1 minute into the game in XY. Better yet, just make the Kalos starters be the starters again and leave meganium, feraligatr, and emboar in the bin since no one likes them anyway.

The middle stage is abominable though; same deal with Grotle and its line.

The other two are trash.

>>58964760
Honestly none of them were bad. Cinderace is toptier with one of the coolest mega max form. Grookey is cute as fuck and its evo only looks shit in swsh, with the shitty ass drum (they removed it in sv afaik) and scobble is cute and intelleon is also cool.
