Garchomp is literally just Charizard for gen 4 and onwards children and manchildren. Fucker has been available in every single game since it's inception and I am so tired of seeing it everywhere.
It was cool when Cynthia used it. It's not cool when you use it for the fifth generation in a row. It also completely stifles teambuilding because if the ground type isn't absolutely busted like Ursaluna/BM-Ursaluna, then there's absolutely no reason not to run Garchomp as your ground type of choice.

This gay ass dragon is spammed ad naseum in Champions ranked AND casual. It bores me to tears. It's so easy to counter too. It just proves that 99% of this fandom are drooling normalfag sheep. And they have the gall to complain about Incineroar. I have more respect for Incineroar players at this point.

>>59224787
It makes a cool sound... Realistically speaking, the cry is one of the most important things about a Pokémon. That's why people love hyper voicing Sylveon and Primarina, and long to use Kriketune.

If Kriketune doesn't get a viable VGC mega, the franchise is cooked. And that's a fact.

Problems in battle
Overall balance
>Compared to "RSE," which completely changed the battle system, many Pokemon have been saved by the addition of items and moves, and by the further subdivision of moves into physical and special, but the gap between the even stronger top players and the mid-level and lower players has tended to widen.
>The most notable example is the increase in high-spec Pokemon, such as the aforementioned Garchomp.
>Not only were Pokemon with poor compatibility or low durability easily defeated by the fast, powerful, and wide-ranged Garchomp, but attackers with similar tendencies to Garchomp were mocked as "inferior Garchomp" and disappeared from battles, and Pokemon weak to Ice-types were hunted down alongside Garchomp because the same countermeasures used against Garchomp worked on them. This narrowed the range of Pokemon that could be used in serious battles.
>Also, Flygon, which has the same type, has lower base stats except for special attack, so it has been called an inferior version. For similar reasons, Blaziken was also said to be a weaker version of Infernape.
>In the community at the time, these high-performance Pokemon were negatively referred to as "Chupoke" ( 厨ポケ ), meaning "Pokemon that even a middle school student (i.e., a child) could win with even if they used them casually," and it was not uncommon for them to become a source of debate among users over whether or not to use them.

you will never beat KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>59224948
Kanto is a cope. Yeah it has some cool shit like Dodrio, Sandslash, Exeggutor (the pre release design was way better though), gyarados, dragonair, and a few others, but a lot of designs are super mundane.

If KANTOOOOOOO is so mundane why does game freak love it the most?

no clearly they hate KANTOOOOO they just love a few like Charizard

because it's the game that gave them their careers? what kinda fucking retarded question is that, it's the same thing as Capcom non-stop shilling Street Fighter 2 despite most people considering the game itself to be shit.

>>59224787

>>59224826
This is why Gen III is definitively better than Gen IV. Gen IV is powercrept and worse balanced.

Can we PLEASE have a Flygon version of Feraljak?

>For similar reasons, Blaziken was also said to be a weaker version of Infernape
the balance between Blaziken and Infernape was almost good. The only major fuck-up is letting Infernape get Swords Dance and Nasty Plot. Infernape should have been limited to Nasty Plot while Blaziken held onto Swords Dance so they had a clear intention with how their mixed playstyle worked

>>59224826
Can Gamefreak revisit starters in a way that isn’t just maybe they get a good move once every few years?
>>
>>59225350
Gamefreak must really love jynx so much to give it two megas and one gmax form
>>
>>59226618
If any other Pokémon had a controversy like Jynx did (even though it was overblown and caused solely by one western woman asking a question in an article) it would have been permacut rather than merely recolored.
Game freak legitimately values jynx more than 80% of all pokemon solely by virtue of it being Gen1.
>>
>>59224787
Garchomp autist here
It's not in Sword and Shield and I know because I made a lot of negative threads about this when the narrative was "hurrrr only shitmons like Alolamola are being dexcut"
>>
>>59227459
Kadabra and Porygon are on the Do Not Post list
>>
>>59227470
The Jew who had a melty over Kadabra “forgave” them so that’s done. Ans Porygon got two evolutions, ans was allowed on Kieran’s team.
Jynx legit got nothing. It was even robbed of a mega preciously because it the controversy.
>>
>>59224787
Imagine being this mad that a good Pokemon is widely available.
>>
>>59226618
At this point I think it's less about controversy and more about they've completely replaced it with Froslass
>>
>>59224826
>For similar reasons, Blaziken was also said to be a weaker version of Infernape.
heh

>>59227581
That was in gen 4 before speed boost Blaziken was a thing.

I trust game freak will double down and not cuck, catching jinx up to at least magmortar status in about 2 weeks more or less
>>
>>59227464
it's in the crown tundra, so it's by all means in sword and shield
>>
>>59224787
Sorry, haxorus-kun

>It's so easy to counter too.
Every Pokemon has counters. People spam Chomp because of how well it counters other Pokemon. Sneasler, Incin, King, Chomp, and Zard are five of the most common threats right now and Chomp has a positive matchup into every one.
