Can you imagine wild packs of this Pokemon?
>>59093063pokemon are monsters not animals
>>59093063yeah and they would all be punching each other
it would be like a mosh pit at warped tour, with less emosnow im imagining a pack of wild hitmonchans stumbling into a hardcore festival and learning how to windmill
>>59093077What's a monster
>>59093063Not all animals live in packs tho
No. But I can imagine individual wild Hitmonchan in the mountains, punching boulders and getting into territory fights with each other.
>>59093063Not full packs, but definitely smaller groups meeting up for sparring.
Humanoids are ok if they fall into ogre, troll, or goblin territory which many fighting types doFur suit mascots though don't work
>>59093230A wide range of fictional non-human creatures.Cyclops? Monster.Harpy? Monster.Medusa? Monster.Dracula? Monster.Beholder from D&D? Monster.Xenomorph from Alien? Monster.Slime from Dragon Quest? Monster.Alduin from Skyrim? Monster.Greymon from Digimon? Monster.Suezo from Monster Rancher? Monster.Hitmonchan? Monster.Nidoking? Monster.Incineroar? That's right, a fucking monster.All it needs to do is not be a normal animal or a human.>>59093859Werewolves are monsters whether you like it or not, and they meet that definition to a tee.
>>59093878Werewolves are feral beasts, that falls into ogre territoryMuch different than a cat doing complex sleight of hand tricks
>>59093063Yes. Imagination is limitless.>>59093878Holy based
>>59093890No, they're a manifestation of the worst parts of human men, that's the entire point, they're a cautionary tale about uninhibited desires. Also, they are LITERALLY JUST HUMANS WHO GROW FUR AND DOG BITS.>Much different than a cat doing complex sleight of hand tricksGuess what fuckass, D&D has cats that do complex sleight of hand tricks, they're called Rakshasa and they're a type of INHERENTLY MAGICAL fiend that looks like a tiger furry with its hands on backwards. It's a MONSTER in the MONSTER MANUAL. If that shit qualifies, Meowscarada qualifies, and you can take your arbitrary bullshit and shove it up your gaping anus you colossal cock-sucking, cum-guzzling, dick-riding faggot.
>>59093902Nah, that doesn't sound right
>>59093063Yeah.
>>59093063No, just in the same way that snow leopards and other animals live alone
>>59093878Cartoony anthropomorphic animals are not the same as something like a Minotaur that ate people in a maze. Bugs Bunny and Incineroar are not monsters
>>59093878All fictional animals. Try again.
Cookie Monster is a monsterAs is Elmo and others
>>59093989Dracula?
>>59093998Fictional Dracula is barely the same guy as Vlad the Impaler.
>>59093878It does annoy when this board forgets shit like Dracula and Frankenstein are monsters. Do they fit in Pokemon? A different conversation, but it's annoying when they criticize other franchises for having them as monsters.
>>59093878There is a distinction between aliens and monsters, though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQq12lDl0Kk... does that mean Clefa, Clefairy, Clefable and Deoxys aren't Pokemon?
>>59094022That doesn't answer the question
Of course a better way to put it is if you could imagine the pokemon sitting at a table doing taxes it's a bad designLapras, slowking, and oranguru having human level intelligence makes them exceptions that prove the ruleAt the end of the day its mannerisms more than design in most casesIncinerators problem is the pro wrestling poses more than being a man shaped tiger
>>59093960Incineroar is absolutely a monster. How could anyone dispute this
>>59093063Imagine? I experience it every time I go out at night
>>59093063No, but I can imagine Obama tulpas of him
>>59093859I can more easily imagine animal-like creatures living in packs than trolls doe
>>59093063Hitmonchans are real
>>59093063Not a pack but a solitary individual you find on a certain kind of day. Kind of like how there's only "one" Sasquatch
>>59093859>>59093890>>59093902>>59093960>>59093989>>59094022>>59094032I think you're all being really pedantic over what is and isn't a monster. For all intents and purposes every Pokemon officially introduced in this franchise IS a "pocket monster".
>>59093960>It's cartoony Anon, whether you like it or not, both of these creatures are monsters
>>59093063human savages hunt in packs, why not hitmons?
>>59093960Yes they fucking are! A minotaur is literally an anthropomorphic animal. It's a furry. The fucking greeks were NOTORIOUSLY into that shit. FUCKING ZEUS WOULD RAPE HUMAN WOMEN AS AN ANIMAL, HOW IS THAT NOT FURRY?!Bugs Bunny and INcenroar are in fact monsters by definition. Also, >>59094548 .>>59093918>>59093989Well you're drooling 60 IQ retards, so your opinions are null and void and you should be crushed under the wheel of a Ford F150 you brainless yakubian ape.>>59094032If you think the Xenomorph and the Yautja are not monsters, you are a fucking retard.
>>59093063I know this thread devolved into pointless and endless "what is a monster" debate but Hitmochan doesn't exist in the wild. At least it didn't until they went full retard with open world and put Pokemon where it doesn't make sense for them to be. Even in FRLG Hitmonchan was classified in the pokedex as an "Urban" Pokemon, meaning it only exists where humans exist. When Pokemon went open world it stopped making sense.
>>59094548It matters here when the game is about catching themThey need to be more like dogs than people so it doesn't become slavery
Oh sweet a Hitmonchan thr->everyone tearing each other's throats out because the word "monster" has a vague meaning
>>59093063Seems like the type of Pokémon that would lower real estate value if they lived in your area.The type of Pokémon you try to avoid and wish they weren’t around.
>a lover AND a fighterwhy is hitmonchan so based?
>dracula: monsterHuman with pointy teeth and afraid of sun isn’t a fucking Pokemon. But no wonder people defending Incineroar can’t tell the difference. Cosplay sluts like you find in Digimon has no place in Pokemon.
Not a knock on the picture, but I think it gets the point across of people's problems with current design philosophyThey're peers in universe, but one looks like a companion while the other looks like a PC
>>59095743With all of the Charizard shilling, he may as well be the main character.
>>59095687Is this real
>>59093878But the worst of them all? Man.
>>59095262>When Pokemon went open world it stopped making sense.I wouldn't put the blame solely on Open World but instead look towards the inflated regional dexes from Gen 6 onwards as the start of throwing every mon and the kitchen sink in a region
>>59095743Starters are and should be treated under a different lens compared to every other pokemon, as they are the big reps of an entire region. The first guys set the standard of the first pokemon you choose to be your awesome beast-like best friends. Which is why I have such a distaste with Galar's starters and the rest of its dex. The Gorilla shouldn't be the least human-looking starter pokemon.
>>59096831You lost btw
>>59095687good thing that wasn't a machamp
>>59095743My monster companionand charizard
>only one person knows the screencap >>59094244man, what happened to this board?
>>59093063No, and that's why you literally couldn't find it in the wild, it was a monster only given out at the Fighting Dojo.
