Choice scarves are not broken. You know it, I know it, everyone who practices competitive battles know it.

I can tell from your post that you're a troll who's butthurt because you can't deal with scarfed threats.

 

[NeohopeSTF]

but really though people decide to stick it on random Pokemon all the time and it ruins strategy

That is the point of battling fool. Also maybe thier not using Smogon sets not everybody uses those.

What if I want to call my Raichu Thunder, and teach it thunderwave, thunderbolt, thundershock and thunder?

What if I have to choose between attacking Sloking, Seaking and Slaking?

What if I have an accent other then Standard American?


What then?

This reminds me of Wheatley

 

[Lanik]

It really did

Are you sure it wasn't you?

Well to be honest, I'm fine with most of the animal and plant based Pokemon, sometimes I can tolerate strange ones like Exeggutor, others like Dodrio are a little bizarre. Some people would say both are weird, I just have my own preferences like any other person. But I'm not really fond of most of the mad-made objects like Lampent, Vanillite, Trubbish, Klink, etc. It just doesn't seem right for them to be "naturally born" Pokemon that probably wouldn't have been created by Game Freak had the said object not been invented. To me they are starting to go too far in stretching out what a Pokemon is, and they tend to do that more often with each new generation.

I like to think that inanimate objects were based on them.

 

[Chaos Werewolf]

I love Trubish. others are cute.

The same thing applies to all the Pokemon that are based on Animals and Plants, had those Animals and Plants never been around the Pokemon counterpart wouldn't have been made either. They base every Pokemon on something that has already been established in the world.

Each generation has the same basic Pokemon ideas:
Animals
Plants
Man-made objects
Other things like rocks and that

They don't go overboard with them as these are the things that are always used to make a Pokemon in each generation.

I love Pokemon that are based ob inanimate objects! The designs are mostly very creative to be able to make an inanimate object seamless living qualities while retaining what it is based on clear. I personally love the Vanillite line, they are among my favourite Ice types.

Strange how you only name Gen 5 Pokemon when there are several "object" Pokemon in Gen I and II that none of the Gen 5 complainers ever seem to...well, complain about.

What exactly is so bad about Trubbish and Klink?

Please avoid these vague, one word descriptions. What really makes these designs so bad and really separates them from the object-based Pokemon of Gen I and II that you give a complete pass to.

To me they are starting to go too far in stretching out what a Pokemon is,

Did you hear about this Pokeball that evolves into a bigger Pokeball with a grin? Running out of ideas, right????

 

[Stylinson]

Pokemon based on inanimate objects aren't bad, although I don't understand the idea of making a pokemon out of a pile of sludge, pokeball, magnet, and a pink blob.

There. Fixed it for ya.

But seriously, what's with the 5th gen hate? I think most of the 5th gen pokemon are awesome, even the garbage bag.

 

[Gelatino95]

Pokemon shouldn't be evaluated based on their origin. Their creativity should be based solely on their design.

 

[Stay Gold]

Really, I judge Pokemon based on inanimate objects just like others, some I like, some I dont.

For example:
Chandelure? Epic, the guy that came up with it deserves a high five.

Vanilluxe? *facepalm*

 

[Nutter t.KK]

Choice Scarf altered the meta game. As for ruined? It's your Opinion.

I could argue abilities ruined it, as you get instant Rain Dance or Sunny Day or any other effect Abilities do. But I do like them and they keep me on my toes in battle, as I often forget about them.

Shutting - OP's argument lacks reasoning. - Plus this isn't the competitive section, in which you'd get pages of why it not ruined the metagame.

 

[cantab]

There are loads of Pokemon based on man-made objects, not just the obvious ones like Voltorb and Bronzong and Trubbish. Jigglypuff is a balloon, it's even called the "Balloon Pokemon". Diglett and Dugtrio are based on Whac-a-Mole. Wobbuffet is like a Weeble. Donphan is half an elephant, half a tyre.

 

[Schade]

As long as they aren't obvious ones, it's cool.

 

[~Kari~]

I like them as long as they aren't ridiculous.

 

[FireTheAbsolLord]

They're cool. I don't have a problem with them. We've always had them. I mean, for just one example from each generation, there's Ditto, Unown, Baltoy, Bronzor, and Vanilluxe. There's loads more as well, especially in Kanto.
We've always had them, and they're pretty cool. Though it bugs me how the Unova Pokemon are picked on the most. The Unova Pokemon took inanimate objects and game them quite the designs, all in all.
Even the Pokemon based on animate creatures in Kanto are just...not the best.

 

[Marbi Z]

Good question! But I think there better off just putting all the games into one big collection at some point.

That would be both unrealistic and horrible.
