Gengar. There's no way there's that many people who actually like this thing. >But it kills people and eats their souls! It's so cool!It's a fat fuck blob with Do It Faggot teeth. You only like it because it's a Kanto Pokemon.
>>59283562anything from Kanto
>>59283562Bidoof is memed, not astroturfed
>>59283562mudkip
>>59283562Flygon
>>59283562This killed the Candice thread......
>>59283999Trips confirmed
>>59283562I see significantly more people complaining about Bidoof memes than people memeing it these days.
>>59284638I've never seen anyone complain about Bidoof
>>59283562
>>59283578This is true, Mewtwo was never popular
>>59283595I mean, I can see it:>the mega was competitively viable meaning it's got compfans in it's wings>it's a chunky gremlin with heehoo silly personality so it appeals to the average "silly goober" mentality people>it's pokedex entries, piercing red eyes and constant grin appeal to the sorta "I'm a villain" mentality people. >it's a kanto mon so it's has the genwunner and/or nostalgiabait people on it's sidenot to mention it's also had the most time to grow on the most amount of people unlike say polteageist due to being a gen 1 mon.
>>59283621Ah yes, Venomoth, the astroturfed mon
>>59283562dunsparce, gengar and arcanine the big three of larpers
>>59283562Any Pokemon I don't like
>>59284761The only popularity it honestly had was being on TPP Red, thanks to the Lance fight.Though even that might be a stretch.
Basically every jobmon starter that gets popular is due to memes and porn. It's all so inorganic.
>>59283562Your pic is related. I fucking hate that reddit beaver.
>>59283595>>59284757>list multiple reasons for a sane person to like a pokemon>VGH, THIS FANBASE IS SO ASTROTURFEDactual retardation.
>>59283562Anything from gen 5 onward
>>59283562He's so cool and handsome in his little kart. I wish I was like him
ITT: People who don’t know what the word “astroturfed” means
>>59284908Most of the people here are ESLs, of course they don't.
>>59284926Uhm actually I'm ETL
>>59284933Lol
>>59284926I am ESL. But my mastery over the english language is probably greater than yours, despite it being your first language. Because I am just that great.
>>59285484Kill yourself Pablo
>>59285484>starting a sentence with But and Becauselol no it ain't
>>59283595Gengar is weird because it always always just another Pokémon for the longest time up until 2020. Now it's a shillmon on part with charizard, evee and pikachu.
>>59286492"Just another Pokémon" feels a little understated,I would put it on par with something like Nidoking; was always pretty popular even among the OG 151.I feel kind of bad for Gengarfags though, since GF eventually noticed and decided to shove it everywhere.
>>59286492It was the only ghost type line in gen 1 and shows up in the very beginning both in the anime and games.
>>59286492you people live in another world Gengar has always been one of the series' most popular and aggressively marketed mons
