Pokemon battles in the real world must be so much more exciting where you're not just seeing the same 15 guys and stuff like Pikachu can actually win.
pokémon isn't real you jew
>>59555910real life sports are full of teams that are just constantly winning all the time thoughie
>>59555910Agreed. Despite some stupid moments like the Thunder Armor the anime did a good job showing how with proper training and strategy you could even win with a type disadvantage.
>>59555910The real world doesn't have plot armor or designated main charcters
>>59556280The real world allows for more creative strategies.
>>59556278That’s the case with the games too tho
>>59555910Funny that despite how famous Red is and how popular Pikachu is in universe there's no other high level trainer that uses Pikachu on their team.
>>59555910The masters 8 tournament literally had two charizards and three dragonites lol
>>59555910>implying real life trainers wouldn't use the same pokemon just because the majority of poketards are normies with basic bitch taste Real life battles would be just as boring when the 14th normie brings out yet another charizard-lucario-greninja team
>>59556330ash and friede
>>59556330Because Red is just built different.
>>59556391If they were real they couldn't be shilled as effectively and therefore wouldn't be that popular. Those pokemon are also pretty rare and most trainers seem to just catch their pokemon on their travels.Though I wonder which Pokemon would be in a realistic META.
>>59556449Palafin
>>59556449Still seething I see. Charizard and Lucario would be popular regardless.
>>59556330>Funny that despite how famous Red is and how popular Pikachu is in universe there's no other high level trainer that uses Pikachu on their team.Red always has a team of 6 kanto shitmonshis trainer strength is entirely "lore" based, in gameplay he was always a memeeven Blue and Lance both have better teams
>>59556391They'd still be better because the accessibility to catching and raising rare monsters is far more difficult than trading 3D models in a video game. Dragonite might be strong, that doesn't mean everyone can get a Dratini and raise it to its potential. Ice types would see a lot more play just to counter the ones who do have Dragonite because they can't get one of their own.Also, no legendary/mythical spam.
>>59556477It's been over 30 years, since Kanto released, man. Let it go.
>>59556477>his trainer strength is entirely "lore" basedNo shit. My point was that from an in universe perspective no other trainer has made Pikachu work at the level Red is at and you'd think there'd be more trainers copying him. And even though all his Pokemon are shillmons it's decent characterization that he's the only champion who never switches his 6 Pokemon and brings Pikachu to world tournaments.
>>59555910>Incin nerfed>Sneedler nerfed>string cheese nerfed hard>no Shroom>ape nerfed>Bridge nerfed hard>no Bear, but the Bloodmoon version was nerfed anyway iircBasically all the most oppressive mons in this pic have been nerfed in champions or aren't in the game.I don't think it'll be this bad.I like how Zachary Weed is literally just playing the mega Froslass team but with A9 and Rilla instead, though.
>>59556449>Though I wonder which Pokemon would be in a realistic META. A bunch of route 1/2/3 shitmons because the mahority of people are too lazy as fuck to actually go that far
>>59556552They can't they're totally mindbroken. "Oh no! The secondary mascot of the series and the first legendary mon got 2 megas! I'm gonna be bitter over it the rest of my life!"It's been 13 years since X&Y and they'll still be crying over it in 2053.
>>59556552Kanto has been shit for 30 years...
>>59556449>>59556582My pokemon team but it's what i'd realistically get if they were real
>>59556595Kek. Yeah it's funny too. No Kanto, no Johto-Paldea and beyond. They're so bitter over the region that spawned their favorites. They're just that pathetic.
>>59555910Lol isn't real world basketball just black ppl vs black ppl. Meta is unavoidable
>>59556662>world basketball just black ppl vs black That's because no one else wants to play it
>>59556662Luka Donic and Jokic beg to differ
>>59556662Yeah, but that's as far as the similarities go. They're not even all tall, buff, fast, or from the same state. It would be like saying, "Wow, the Pokemon meta is just using Pokemon. How boring".
>>59556662That's because black people are the only one who play that boring game
>>59556716Eh more intresting than Competetive Pokemon atleast
>>59556449in a realistic meta, instead of broke-ass vidya players you'd probably get some real rich, mean-looking tamers who imported their pokemon like it's a pet dog show. occasionally though depending on your luck you'd probably get some underdog
>>59556781That would be kino. Sadly that means gamefreak wont do it.
>>59556449Starters will be everywhere along with early route shitmonsThe real meta will be like those exotic pet keepers or /fit/bros with tons of Fighting types roiding up with themAlso one billionaire with 6 Wailords or hiring a trainer monkey with pseudolegendaries costing bajillions of dollarydoos
>>59555910this is why compshit is trash and the games moving away from turn based is a good thingi'm glad it finally came out in the opencontaining all the compfags in showdown was the best move in recent times
>>59556476Make Pokemon real and suddenly Charizard isn't one of the first 3 Pokemon (lines) available in the whole series while Riolu and Lucario are rare as shit.
Bump
>>59555910If dogfighting is legal and popular then everyone would complain about the pitbull meta
>>59557335this
>>59558210A mastiff and kangal can wipe the floor with a pitbull. Assuming both in their prime and trained. But even that analogy is still too limited. It would be like what if we could capture and train every single animal in the animal kingdom to legally fight one another? What would be the meta? Crocodiles get stomped out by plenty of animals. The giraffe, hippo, and elephant are all extremely formidable opponents in a 1v1. This just gets to ZooTier territory now.
