>get shillmon status in Pokemon ZA
>still still shitted and flopped
What went so wrong, monkeybros?
>>
>>59136907
Shillmon really loses it's meaning every time a third worlder uses it.
>>
>>59136911
>>59136907
It was shillmon in bw too. They literally give you a free one and then have a whole gym based on them. The pedo freak director also has one on his team

One fell off and broke his ass

Theyre all early route pokemon weird

:(
>>
>>59136907
why is dragonite so popular, seems kinda random. Am I missing something?
>>
>>59137160
It’s been promoted to Shillmon since it got a mega
>>
>>59137131
That's its evolution.
Both of them are unpopular since besides that reference, they are horribly weak and ugly, not even good for ingame in their own generation like Raticate is (also Alolan Raticate is just better anyways
>>
>>59137170
>There hasn't been a genuinely good route 1 Normal shitmon since Bibarel

What's the point of making these if they're all trash?
>>
>>59137177
Part of the problem is too much early pokemon availability.
Linoone is a perfect example of this.
Linoone is pretty eh, but Hoenn's pokemon availability is such that it's actually a very decent pokemon up until you get Surf. And then once you're there, Linoone has a level lead and EVs over whatever could replace it, so that's a less obvious choice.
Most of the newer rodents have to survive in an ecosystem where you can get genuinely good pokemon or even first stage pseudos within minutes of starting the game, and there's just no point to that. You can use the thing that you will have to replace later, or the thing that's good for the entire game.

Though I think that philosophy has reverse infected more recent rodents, who are made bad, because the early rodent is bad now. Greedent and Oinkologne are absolutely rancid pokemon under any circumstances, but it wouldn't batter if they were as good as Bibarel or Linoone because you can just go get whatever anyways. Why would you deal with them when you could go get the shitty flamingo and sweep the entire game

>>59137164
it wasn't before?
>>
>>59137177
>>59137382
They should've continued the trend of shitmons like Diggersby having good secret Abilities.

No matter how much or how many times shit gets shoved down your throat it ultimately is still shit so no one will willingly eat it.
See: Leon.
>>
>>59137382
What I find hillarious is how they somehow got it right with gen 1.

>Rattata is a weak pokemon
>Level it up and you get hyper fang, which actually allows it to punch above it's weight.
>Eventually starts falling off.
>But if you stick with it you get super fang, which gives it some use.
>>
>>59136907
Genuinely three of the worst Pokemon designs ever, which is saying a lot considering Shitnova has lots of hideous mons.
>>59137906
Niggersby was genuinely pretty good in Legends ZA as well.
>>
>>59137177
They have to be trash so they don't break the early game. Almost as if there's a single player campaign to play to.

This philosophy hasn’t work since gen 6 now that pseudo legendaries and busted shit like pic related can be found before beating the first gym.

Lmao, nope shillmons are pikachu lucario greninja inceroar not random monkeys
>>

Lol

>>59137160
The secret to making something giga popular is making it popular with both men AND women
Most pesudo legends all try to be "rawr badass kaiju monster" and so women don't really care about them meanwhile they like Dragonite cause he's cute
Goodra is cute too but he goes too far the other way and men don't like him
>>
>>59138358
>the most important Pokémon in VGC
>not a Shillmon
lol
Lmao even
>>
>>59137906
They have been trying ever since Gen 6 to give the early route shitmons SOMETHING unique about them to make them stand out, but the problem is most of those gimmicks just end up being shit unlike Diggersby and Talonflame where they were both genuinely good mons in Gen 6 with their HA

Like they make Dubwool a defense tank or Orbeetle a Sp def tank, it's unique sure but also just shit kek
>>
>>59138382
>VGC
Yep Rillaboom is a huge shillmon
>>
>>59138438
Yes. Just becuase it was a bigger flop than pre-shillmon Meganium doesn’t mean Rilla wasn’t a Shillmon. That just makes it a forced industry plant
>>
>>59138377
>making it popular with both men AND women
If it debuted in any gen but 1 no guys would give a shit about it. Its literally just an uglier charizard
>>
>gen 1
Shillmon
>evolves from a gen 1

>starter

Shillmon

Glad that's settled
>>
>>59136907
Why are popularity constests so important to you all? Why would you even give a shit about all this?
>>
who is just going to the pikachu info page
what information are they seeking
>>
>>59138480
>>starter
>Shillmon
only if they have a mega or are Incineroar
>>
>>59138491
KEK
>>
>>59136907
Is being included in a game considered being shilled
If so then holy fuck ariados bros we're moving up in the world
>>
>>59138046
Incinsisters uhhhh
>>
>>59136907
The monkeys are Pokemon's Tingle (especially evident with Simisesr). Only Am*ricans hate em and by god do they make the world and the developers know.

furret has a weirdly useful utility movepool as of gen 9 and belly drum extremespeed linoone is a viable niche pick in gen 3, they don't completely suck :( ...

>bottom is all unovamons
lol

>>59139939
yungoos and trumbeak, my favorite unovans
>>
>>59139943
4/6 ain't a good look bort
>>
>>59139951
not even. there's much worse unovan pokemon that are probably in the top 10 like klang, patrat line, the rest of the monkeys, and woobat
>>
>>59137160
its the pseudo legendary of KANTOO it's always been popular though just like nearly every kanto mon it's due that kanto privilege and shilling

>>

>Thwackey and quilladin
Baramons are flops gamefreak should just stop making those
>>
>>59140005
It's just so superfluous without the soul of Magneton and without a cross gen evo that invalidated it at a later point and instead just started that way

>just existing in a game is grounds enough to be a "shillmon" now
>>
Every Pokemon is a shillmon if more than two people like it
>>
>>59140054
That is how it works, especially post-Dexit.
The shillmons tend to be those who are in the most games, and trolls usually use that as an excuse to justify Dexit, because nobody searches for them anymore, because they don't exist in the games anymore.
It's a vicious cycle.
>>
>>59140086
And even that argument doesn't work because despite having perfect attendance, Porygon hasn't gotten shit since Porygon-Z because they can't market that new shit in the anime due to the everlasting controversies of Electric Soldier Porygon.
