People actually still remember that thing exists? Lulz.
I legit used one during a Gold playthrough. It had Rock-type Hidden Power, so it wasn't completely useless.
Garchomp being mean looking doesn't mean that it does not deserve love. Let me remind you of the professor sycamore's garchomp. It was such a good little(big technically) boy. The looks of a pokemon doesnt define what it's personality is. Moreover a trainers attitude is what defines a pokemon's nature is . A cute pokemon like marshadow can also be evil as seen in the movie. So I have no problem even if ash catches a darkrai coz I know that ash'll treat his pokemon well and they'll behave in return.
For the last time, the post was in response to somebody saying that as opposed to Flygon -> Garchomp would be a pokémon to suit Ash better. I personally disagree. I have no problem with Ash capturing scary'ish pokémon - or even Garchomp. But in a Flygon v Garchomp comparison, I personally believe that Flygon fits Ash's
general aesthetic better.
I actually wouldn’t mind Ash getting Flareon. Out of all the Eevelutions, it is the least represented in the anime and most underused. Plus he needs another Fire type to rely on since he can’t use Charizard all the time and his other Fire types have their own niche that isn’t always present or viable for every time he needs a Fire type. Pignite and Quilava are mid stages and don’t have the endurance to last in a drawn out battle, Torkoal heavily relies on heating itself up and wasn’t that strong in Hoenn as it lost more often than it would win, Talonflame is more of a flyer on his team, and Infernape’s strength is too heavily reliant on the Blaze ability. Incineroar is left but it is more into physical one on one battling than the others.
Using the AniméDex counting named characters and not counting movies:
Eevee: 11 - Including May, Serena, Lana, Gladion (in flashbacks), Ursula and Virgil among others.
Vaporeon: 7 - Virgil and Ursula and a bunch of others. I'm expecting Lana to have one soon as well.
Jolteon: 6 - Virgil and some others.
Flareon: 7 - Virgil and Ursula and a bunch of others.
Espeon: 5 - Most notable was Anabel's and Sakura's of course Virgil also had one.
Umbreon: 5 - Including Gary, Virgil and Gladion
Leafeon: 3 - Zoey, Virgil and a random girl in Kalos Contest-thingie. You don't even need to scrolldown to see every appearance it had.
Glaceon: 4 - Including May and Cynthia.
Sylveon: 3 - Including Serena and Valerie.
So come again how Flareon is the most underused Eeveelution.
Your arguments for the Fire-types are also lame as heck. I get that Torkoal, Quilava and Pignite are auto-voted out of competition
even if they had major victories under their belt that show endurance
- Quilava has beaten stuff like buff pokémon like Steelix when it was a Cyndaquil. It is no slouch. But perhaps one of the more skippable pokémon if he had to pick something else.
- Pignite beat a Heatmor+Emboar when Snivy couldn't fight with him anymore - and a Hydreigon and then a Ferrothorn back to back in the league. Saying that it doesn't have stamina to last in a battle is just incorrect.
- Infernape: "Too heavily reliant on Blaze". It has
8 gym battle wins, only
a single one was while using Blaze. It beat Paul's Aggron and Ninjask and only went on to beat his Electivire while using Blaze. So,
2/11 were with Blaze. How can you call that "reliant".
- Talonflame is 'a flyer', why does that matter?!? So is Charizard, which has often used moves like Steel Wing and currently has Wing Attack. Talonflame has a great track-record of picking up wins whenever it battles.
- Incineroar: More into physical one on one battling - again, why should this not make it a viable pick?!? Also, it has Fire Blast so you can't really call it entirely physical.
If there ever was an award for 'worst informed'-post of the day..
This. Normal types that don't have a secondary type are lame as ****. They're mostly tanks like Snorlax or Miltank or else just cute little things that don't serve a purpose. If Ash gets a Normal type then it had better be something like Dunsparce which he actually wanted to catch before any ways, not some lame dog thing.
For the love of Arceus, how dare you talk about
Lopunny like that. Also, Silvally's a Normal-type..
