You can't convince me that anyone actually thought this design was good back when it was first revealed.
tomboy blaziken
Sceptile looks like shit with a stupid tail and Swampert looks retarded. Blaziken wins by default.
>>59160008cope
>>59160008This stupid chicken ruined fire starters for all future generations
>>59160008The first jobmon starter
>>59160008It's like proto Lucario. A red animal dude that knows kung-fu and appeared in the anime early and it can solo Pokémon Ruby for you. It was popular even before XY.
>>59160008I despise it so much
>>59160047Funny considering he never jobbed
>>59160008Did kids back then even think about things like "good design" or whatever? Just thought it was cool, that's all.
>>59160008oldfags know this was the original Lucario>>59160047oldfags know Ash lost his first league because his Charizard forfeited without a fight against a Pikachufuck, I'm old. 29 in a few months
>>59160008Me. I loved Blaziken, was my favourite mega along with Mega Mawile too
>>59160201I thought it was a man in a chicken suit fighting Charizard
>>59160201'This new pokemon looks like a Digimon, they're running out of ideas!' ran rampant.
>>59160233>29I'm 45.
>>59160008Blaziken was shit in gen 3 but gen 4 fixed him. Fuck blaze kick.
>>59160201Actual kids don't think the way manchildren do about things.
>>59160008Yeah everyone thought it was cool as fuck; I had Swampert but my brother had Blaziken and it was agreed that he was objectively cool.I wish I could go back.
>>59160008There's not a single stage of the Hoenn starters that is not a 10/10
>>59160262Blaze Kick is awesome though.
>>59160008I knew it was shit and I was 7. That single design actually made me quit playing for 10 years. Gen 3 is still shit btw.
>>59160008latinx teen listening to linkin park in 2004 coded
>>59160233nigga I'm 32. I saw the debut episodes of family guy, futurama and ed, edd & eddy.
He was inherently cool by being the fire starter>>59160029And he looked badass in the anime.
Why are there so many old Childless men on here?
>>59160008Yeah I never cared for it, or most other anthro mons like Lucario. Really was the canary in the coal mine.
>>59160201I was getting called a contrarian back when I was like 6 because I liked funny little shitmons instead of Blaziken and Charizard and Lucario or whatever else
>>59160008Blaziken used to be pretty popular I thinkBut maybe when we started getting more humanoid starters it fell our of favor somewhat
>>59161132because pokemon >>> starting a family.i'm not being ironic either. i actually value the free time i have and want to enjoy it. plus in today's economy, if you're not a 1%er and you have kids, you are setting them up to fail.
>>59160008I used to prefer Charizard coz>dragonbut over time I've grown up appreciate how Blaziken is Ra if he picked up kick boxing
>>59160053>A red animal dude that knows kung-fu and appeared in the anime early and it can solo Pokémon Ruby for you.Theyre both based on Egyptian deities too
>>59161206Isn't it Horus?
>>59161210Ra fits better being a sun god it doesn't matter as theyre both just aspects of Horakthy anyway
>>59161132Pokemon fans give mentally stable women the ick, who woulda figured
>>59160008Hideous penis shaped Pokémon.Sceptile rules!
>>59160008Dude, the first thing that freaking chicken did was beat Charizard, which for years was considered the franchise's overpowered character. Basically, it was born with a +2 Cool by default.
Reminder Blaziken isnt a chicken its a chicken hawk
>>59161208To this day, that fight was bullshit. Even Blaziken vs Charizard was better, and it was Charizard eating shit (even though that was nothing new).
>>59160008My favorite starter since gen 3.
>>59160201No, people weren't tryhards that needed to impart their super serious opinion on everything back then. There were simply kids that kept playing Pokemon and kids that didn't
>>59160008I hate it
Blaziken really is GOATed.>great in battle>design is great in a cool kind of way>design is also great in an e621 kind of way
>>59160008It was meant to be disappointing, according to that one interview with Masuda. Torchic’s line lore is surprisingly dark.
>>59160008stupid mutant chicken
Ive never been the biggest blaziken fan but I always thought he has objectively the best starter design. He has the perfect amount of detail all around. Looks humanoid and has clothes in the most tasteful way possible. Isnt just a chicken because hes a monster (has feet instead of wings) and is humanoid (is a martial artist) You can tell just by looking at him that his legs will cover in fire and kick super hard, his hair tells you thank hes fast and can jump super high. And there's only three colors in his design all being very grounded. The diamond on his chest and the zig zags on his legs are my favorite detail
>>59160233>29 in a few months.You're young as fuck. Shut up.
>>59160008Is it true Japanese women love this?
>>59161310Lucariofag cope
>>59161310The best part about the Charizard fight is that the outcome could actually happen if Blaze Kick is a crit, which it was
>>59161498I love the design because a chicken is almost inherently uncool. They're goofy little birds. I feel like with Blaziken they really did the impossible.
>>59160253>This new pokemon looks like a DigimonThat was only a thing in the USA, where they are proud of being ignorant.
>>59161460holy shitit's happening
>>59160047Fuck this retarded kickboxing taekwondo human with a chicken mask on, it ruined starters forever.
>>59160008True. I didn't think it was good, I thought it was PEAK.
>>59161543Ehhh
>>59160008Blazikeks are hilarious, coping this shit isn't like the other humanoid starters
>>59160008I think Blaziken's haircut and legs are lame, and yet I also think that its face is in the top 3 of the best Pokemon faces in the series.
>>59160008Man in a chicken suit
>>59160008All the hoenn starters are trash. I'm spam clicking B until my torchik reaches lvl 100
>>59160008>You can't convince me that the sky is actually blue.
>>59160262blaziken was better in gen 3 than it was in gen 4, though.
