Is Pinsir good?

I'd have to say yes. Awesome attack power, swords dance, good range of attacks, the only problem is that it doesn't get STAB on Fighting moves or megahorn, which makes Heracross a better option.

I know this sounds so nOObish but what is STAB!?

Pinsir is great, although its outclassed by heracross. But since its pinsir anyway, I'd say go for it

Like Tyranitar uses Rock Slide since Tyranitar is a Rock type, the normal damage it would do, would get multiplied by 1.5 I think.

I think that Pinser is a good pokemon. It makes a good replacement to the hand-full of people who don't like Heracross. It has great Attack power, and can make a mean Psy. Sweeper. Unfortunatly, It can't learn Megahorn, and it dosen't get STAB from any fighting moves, so Heracross outclasses it as a better pokemon (but Scyther PWNS Heracross any day in my opinion). Still, if you want to raise one, it's your choice.

Bargh! Too bad IMO. Good, but Heracross is better. Intimidate and Hypercutter? Pitious!

When you think of it, lots of great bugs are out there, like...
Pinsir
Heracross
Scyther
Scizor
Sheddinja

But, since I's searching for a shiny one, I'd say go for it.

I personally would go with Heracross, since it's just such a great pokemon. Pinsir is equal to me, but if it had Megahorn I would use it instead.
 
If you like Oinsir, go for him. If you want a better one, go for Heracross. I'd personally go for Pinsir, since I'm an oldchool Pokemoner (Except for Octillery being one of my favorite >.<). Pinsir would be cooler if he had an evolution.

Poliwrath? Meh. Water/Fighting meh. There are better Fighters and Water Pokemon out there, mix and match!
 
I used Poliwrath for probably half the game, but then switched for Lapras. You don't really need a fighting type for the elite four, except for Tyranitar on your second run through. Even then I didn't use a Fighting, so i guess it's up to you if you want to use Poliwrath or not.

Pinsir is pretty good, gets swords dance, earthquake, rock slide, focus punch, he is outclassed by heracross because he gets no good stab move... Pinsir needs Megahorn...
