Post Pokémon with fake fanbases. I'll start with Ferrothorn:>Ugly as fuck.>Slow, stall-based gameplay ill-fitting for main campaign use.>Only exists as a tool to stall in competitive.>Not even remotely based on anything IRL like most other species.>Comes from fucking Unova, a failed abortion of a region.No one actually genuinely likes this thing, they just use it because it's broken.
>>59224738i liked him in gen 5 when his arms were ipever since they made him stand on the ground in gen 6 he's been gay and retardedthe opposite of eelektross
>>59224738Could say the same for most of gen 5 desuNo one genuinely likes garbage like Excadrill, Volcarona, Amoonguss, or the genies for their designs
>>59224738Rillaboom

>>59224738>Post Pokémon with fake fanbases. Pretty much anything that's competitively relevant
>>59224738>Ferrothorn>Stall? post elo
>>59224738People only pretend to like this whenever someone says it's a shit evolution and Dunsparce. They will then accuse you of wanting a dragon.They'll go back to forgetting both Dunsparce and this piece of shit afterwards.
>>59225005>and Dunsparce*deserved better.
>>59224738Fuck you, I love Ferrothorn. He's my kind of mon. The moment I fist saw him, I knew he was going on my team. Not his fault he turned out to be a compfag's worst nightmare.
>>59224755>VolcaronaA fire moth's objectively cool you caveman brained fuck
>>59224738It's Metagross but a plant, why wouldn't people like it?
I just like machine + nature combinationssame reason i like forretress
>>59224738I know what you are.
Thorn is cool. I dont know about Ferroseed though, that thing needed more time in the oven.>>59225005Its fine for a SV playthrough if you want to use a souped up Dunsparce, but yeah its disappointing and looks worse
>>59225005I don't mind if people dislike dudunsparce, but personally I feel it's a fitting evolution. you can't exactly improve on perfection, can you?
>>592250054chan faggots would glaze the hell out of this thing if it came out i gen 1
>>59224738>94 base attackDon't blame us for you being a faggot and stalling with it.
>>59224738Ferrothorn is homophobic
>>59224738Ferrothorn is great.>>59224755All of those are great too.>>59225005Dunsparce is amazing and Dudunsparce is the perfect evolution for it.
The "you only like it because it's competitive" bullshit is so dunb because A: nobody in this place actually plays thr fucking games and B: you won't see anyone showing any love to lando or calyrex or the bears of fuck you
>>59225052An ice moth is also objectively cool yet no one gives a single fuck about frosmoth because it's garbage competitively
>>59224738Most of this post is incorrect. Better luck next time.
>>59225804nah frosmoth is just ugly
>>59224755I like Excadrill. Great campaignshitter Mon, looks cool, ground/Steel is a cool (if common) typing.
>>59225882just like volcarona
>>59225893>the fat cartoon mole with a neck tumor looks cool
>>59224738Liking a pokemon because it wins you battles isnt fake appreciation. Experience molds our perceptions of everything. I think its sweet you can look past how ugly a pokemon is and still appreciate it for what it is.In fact i like sawk a lot more than I used to because it carried a nuzlocke i was running. Pic related too has grown on me a lot
>>59225882>is literally the cutest bug type ever madeyeah ok bro
>>59225923not even the cutest in its own line
>>59225940snom is cute if youre a woman, maybe
But it looks cool though. It's like Forretress, but as a durian. I use it as a bulky physical attacker on playthroughs.
>>59224738that's my wife you're talking shit about
>>59224738How is liking a Pokemon for its battle prowess “fake” when that’s ultimately what the design is made for?
>>59224738Forretress but shit, at least forretress is a cool fella.
>>59224755Excadrill and Volcarona are cool, and the therian forms of the genies are alright
>>59224755I watched a boomer streamer who only ever played gen 1 do a blind BW nuzlocke recently for content and he loved all those designs with Excadrill being his favourite of the dex
>>59226380what's his name?
>>59225159The pre-evo has a neat sprite. And people don’t shit on Eggescute despite also being seeds with faces
>>59225005Humiliation Ritual
>>59226406
>>59227294Yeah this strengthens your argument heavily. Coney is the kind of guy who makes it really clear when he dislikes something.
>>59224744He was hanging from the ceiling in Gen 5.
>>59226503I think id like it more if most of the spikes were gray like Ferrothorn. The green is a little overwhelming
>>59224738>Ugly as fuck.If by ugly you mean cool, sure.>Slow, stall-based gameplay ill-fitting for main campaign use.Stall is fun if you aren’t a coward.>Only exists as a tool to stall in competitive.See above.>Not even remotely based on anything IRL like most other species.It’s obviously partially based on a durian, just look at it. It’s Japanese name has ‘nut’ in it, so it’s likely based on those too, perhaps seeds as well.>Comes from fucking Unova, a failed abortion of a region.Unova isn’t the best region, but seething about it is a good way to let people know your opinion isn’t worth listening to.>>59224755Amoonguss and the genies, sure.Maybe Excadrill considering it looks much better in 2D than 3D.Volcarona is objectively great though, that’s just bad taste.
>>59224738Stall never uses FerroCHAD
>>59227360>Maybe Excadrill considering it looks much better in 2D than 3DIt looks like dogshit in both.
>>59227315Yeah, that was fucking awesome. Big spiky fruit monster who falls and crushes his enemies.
>>59227360>Stall is fun if you aren’t a coward.Lol. Just go watch paint dry.
>>59227498It can be satisfying to watch your Pokemon slowly get built up into an invincible wall, and seeing the opponent hopelessly dash themselves against you. It’s overkill in single player, but if you like that kind of playstyle, it can still be fun. It’s pretty much what I’m doing in the Battle Tower right now.
reminder that it's just one contrarian forcing the excadrill/volcarona hate and he has tried it for years to no avail
>>59227664>the generic cartoon moth and the generic cartoon mole are ebin totally goated designs on their own merits and I’m definitely not just a larping compfag guys trust me
>>59227339Ferroseed fire all their spikes, while Ferrothorn evolved spikes for defense(hence the pre-evo lacking metal spikes)
>>59224738>Ugly as fuck.Incorrect opinion>Slow, stall-based gameplay ill-fitting for main campaign use.It can hit hard with Power Whip and Gyro Ball>Only exists as a tool to stall in competitive.Yes, that's what defensive options are for>Not even remotely based on anything IRL like most other species.It's based on burs and spiky nuts>Comes from fucking Unova, a failed abortion of a region.Tourist behavior>No one actually genuinely likes this thing, they just use it because it's broken.Ferrothorn is my boyWhen I used to play Wi-Fi Battles during Gen VI and VII I'd always use him on my team, netting me many a win with its impeccable defenseWhen I bred a Ferrothorn in SWSH for my living dex, the first egg hatched with perfect IVs in HP, Attack, Defense and Special Defense, as well as a bad Speed IV which is ideal for it. It also had Iron Barbs, the best ability for it, as well as four of its five Egg Moves (sans Gravity, which is useless anyways)That's how tight we areThe people who shit on Ferrothorn are the ones who've been walled out by it and were too stupid to avoid being walled out to begin withIt's not hard to counter Ferrothorn, you just need to not suck cock
>>59227676Aw shit didnt even think about that. I guess the spiky egg is alright
>>59225005Baxcalibur is the exact same except they'll pretend that ai generated slab of shit looks gen 1. funny how gen 9 has so many pokemon like this
>>59227701This. Where are the pointless spikes? Where are the black sclera? Where are the digitigrade legs? Where is the random neck tumor?
