Bugs Bunny is cool but i don't want him in my monster catching game. And why does it plays soccer? If you told me in the 2000s that Pokemon starters in the future would be Tony the tiger and Bugs Bunny playing soccer i wouldn't have believed you.

people here and only here say cinderace is popular but you can never actually find that popularity anywhere. the most they can ever show you is a single image of a person in a cinderace suit on a stage or a japanese poll with a sample size of like 5k. you will never find fan stuff of it anywhere like you can with actually popular pokemon

No, that's how YOU cope with your shit-taste. You believe anyone being critical of the shit you like is just being mean so you can pretend it's their fault and not yours.

Heck, the "you're just cranky/jealous" fallacy is so dumb that even shows for children make fun of it.

Nothing wrong with liking something flawed/bad AS LONG as you can recognize/accept it for what it truly is. YOU fail to do this because YOU are the one rejecting reality.

Blaziken was the starting point, and then it got extreme with every generation after. The Sinnoj starters are loved, but they definitely have more to their designs than just animal + element. Rillaboom was the closest to a return to form for starters, but it still summons that stupid drum for its drummer theme.
>>

I sense some bias here... like how left has a red mythological dragon which certainly can't be Charizard since Charizard is a chubby bipedal lizardman with wings (not even a dragon)

That's a lot of words just to admit that you're a contrarian faggot so you have to cope with funny words like "shit-taste", screeching like the vocal minority you are that everyone else now likes what you don't

Pokemon designs never were consistent, starters became more humanoid since gen 3 because digimon they copied renamon too and lucario born

Pokemon was making anthro animals long before digimon ever existed

What does Cinderace have to do with this?
>>
>>59568554
Pokemon fans are very paradoxical in nature. They say they hate bipedal, humanoid starters and yet, they love Blaziken. They say that they want more animalistic, quadruped starters and yet, they hate Samurott. They say that they hate starters like Incineroar, Meowscarada, and Cinderace and yet, they're the most popular members of their trio. They say that they love starters like Swampert, Torterra and Rillaboom and yet, they're the least popular members of their trio.
For some reason, what the fans say don't match up with their actions or the statistics.

That's 'cause you asthmatic cunts don't play sports, so ignore the football bunny has found a market with football-playing kids or that the Japanese Football Association's not only signed a collaboration deal with TPC to use Cinders to promote the JFA and its youth football divisions but is also currently promoting the J-League pokémon collaboration (where every club in the 3 leagues got a Pokémon mascot assigned to them). I'm sure when you don't look for evidence, you find none. The problem is when you actually look for it, you find buckets of evidence.

>>59574269
That's not how nostalgia works. Nostalgia is fragile. If earlier gens were only liked because of "muh nostalgia" then once someon went back to play it they would be like, "this is trash" and would have their nostslgia shattered.

It's just a difference in taste, not nostalgia.

Sorry Paco, you misunderstand how the nromalfags treat and consume Pokémon. They moved on from the latest games ages ago, as they play, maybe complete it, then drop it to move onto Next Thing, which they'll drop in a bit after for Next Thing again (in case you missed it, they're all currently sperging out over the new OoT remake). But they'll be back by time Game Freak wants them back. Unlike the hopium-addled retards here, they knew 2027 meant 2027 when Game Freak told them it wasn't coming until 2027. But that didn't stop 5m of them buying a Pokémon spin-off for the first time ever outside whaling in GO. Nor did it stop a full-on convention of people separate to VGC show up and tell TPC more of the same for World's weekends please!

Nah. I'm not champing at the bit for GTA nor did I buy any kind of pokémon spin-off like the actual mindless sheep fuckers of the world have. I do buy Game Freak's games though, because I ENJOY them for what they are chiefly and the secondary bonus of pissing idiotic retard gobshites like you off, showing how unimportant and irrelevant you cunts are to gatekeeping Pokémon's success (because let's be real, you casualties of life wouldn't be crying like children constantly if it was shitting out game after game considering spergy 20-something manchildren as a crucial part of their audience. You babbies just want your babby toy back and throw tantrums when yis don't get it).

When zoomers try to cope about missing out on peak pokemon they always make it so obvious they're retarded zoomerfags with greentext. They should jump ship to Plaworld like the rest of zoomers that totally played the games and totally followed the franchise over the years.
>>
>>59582360
Yeah lot of people missed Gen 6 and PSS.
>>
>>59568554
It’s a matter of perspective; Pokémon are made up of various elements. For instance, I might highlight the mythological and folkloric aspects of Cinderace, while emphasizing the cartoonish nature of Torterra.

Ultimately, that’s up to you.
