>get shillmon status in Pokemon ZA>still still shitted and floppedWhat went so wrong, monkeybros?
>>59136907Shillmon really loses it's meaning every time a third worlder uses it.
>>59136911>>59136907It 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
>>59136907Three gay monkeys jumping on the bedOne fell off and broke his ass
Theyre all early route pokemon weird
>>59136907>Yungoos still getting down voted for being the bad orange man Pokémon :(
>>59136907why is dragonite so popular, seems kinda random. Am I missing something?
>>59137160It’s been promoted to Shillmon since it got a mega
>>59137131That'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 BibarelWhat's the point of making these if they're all trash?
>>59137177Part 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
>>59137164it wasn't before?
>>59137177>>59137382They should've continued the trend of shitmons like Diggersby having good secret Abilities.
>>59137164
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.
>>59137382What 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.
>>59136907Genuinely three of the worst Pokemon designs ever, which is saying a lot considering Shitnova has lots of hideous mons.>>59137906Niggersby was genuinely pretty good in Legends ZA as well.
>>59137177They have to be trash so they don't break the early game. Almost as if there's a single player campaign to play to.
>>59138073>They have to be trash so they don't break the early game.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.
>>59136907>i-if it show up in a game that make it a shillmonsmartest legendskek.
>>59138046Gen 5 bros.......
>>59136935Lmao, nope shillmons are pikachu lucario greninja inceroar not random monkeys
>>59138302Zoroak flopped
>>59138059Gen1 was more jrpg
>>59138317>inceroarLol
>>59137160The secret to making something giga popular is making it popular with both men AND womenMost 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 cuteGoodra 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 lolLmao even
>>59137906They 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 HALike they make Dubwool a defense tank or Orbeetle a Sp def tank, it's unique sure but also just shit kek
>>59138382>VGCYep Rillaboom is a huge shillmon
>>59138438Yes. 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 womenIf it debuted in any gen but 1 no guys would give a shit about it. Its literally just an uglier charizard
>gen 1Shillmon>evolves from a gen 1Shillmon>starterShillmon>legendaryShillmon>pseudolegendaryShillmon>revealed before their generation of gamesShillmon>singular member of the species has a recurring role in the animeShillmon>in UniteShillmon>in PokkenShillmon>is Rotom after Yokai Watch releasedShillmonGlad that's settled
>>59136907Why 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 pagewhat information are they seeking
>>59138480>>starter>Shillmononly if they have a mega or are Incineroar
>>59138491KEK
>>59136907Is being included in a game considered being shilledIf so then holy fuck ariados bros we're moving up in the world
>>59138046Incinsisters uhhhh
>>59136907The 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.
>>59137160>why is dragonite so popular Nostalgiafaggotry
>>59138462>forced industry plant
>>59137177furret 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 unovamonslol
>>59139939yungoos and trumbeak, my favorite unovans
>>591399434/6 ain't a good look bort
>>59139951not 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
>>59137160its 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
>>59139966looking at past data... yes, klang is a big "winner"
>>59140005>Thwackey and quilladin Baramons are flops gamefreak should just stop making those
>>59140005It'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
>bulbapedo
>>59136907>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
>>59140054That 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.
>>59140086And 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.
>>59140054welcome to /vp/ where one really dumb guy makes up 20% of the board traffic and forms the entire narrative around his psychosis
>>59136907>all those gen 5 pokemongrim
>>59140058Pffffthaahhahaaaaaa
>>59139943>implying alolass isn’t part of shartnova
>>59136907How did Kalos get shillregion status and all Kalos pokemon flopped
