Pokemon: Of Dunsparce and Myths (A Rant)

[Dunsparce]

The hatred of Dunsparce has to stop.

First off, evryone claims it's weak. Mbaye it wasn't the best thign ever in GSC, but you have to admit, it has made leaps and bounds up the Tier list and is one of the best UU's there is.

It DOES NOT need an evolution AT ALL. Base 100 HP, Rounded Stats in other areas, and one of the LARGEST non-Legendary movepools EVER SEEN!!!

And besides, Evolution NEVER makes the Pokemon in need better, it's the Evolution that gets the glory(Not the previous form) AND the inheritance of it's Predicessor's Movepool from the last compatable Generation.

Another thing: It is not serpentine because it is not based off of any regular snake, but a Tsuchinoko, a mythical snake whose body is wider than its neck and tail.

I am getting SICK of people in the D/P forum saying things like "Dunsparce shouuld evolve, it's so weak" and "Dunsparce has a limited movepool and should be a Bug/Ground"

Dunsparce is no longer the fodder of the 2nd Generation, but the KING OF HAX!!! Serene Grace gave it so many possible movepools and It can kill not only alot of the UUs, but a Couple OUs AND Rayquaza.

As you can see, it took out a Smeargle, Jynx, Muk, Blaziken, and A KYOGRE.

Sure, the opponent has crappy movesets, but it's still quite an acomplishment to take out 5 Pokemon before fainted due to Toxic.

PLEASE, Think better of our loveable little Tsuchinoko before making idiotic post saying it's worthless.

 

[AJ Flibble]

Haha, it was only a matter of time.

Nice rant, however, nobody will listen, the dumb idiots will always go "Dunsparce neeeeds 2 evolv lololol!!!!!11111222222"

TBH, this won't change much. Gotta give it to you for trying though.

 

[BasiltheDragon]

I kind of like Dunsparce, but why is it yellow?

 

[Sarukarisha]

not bad. but lots of people hate dunsparce cause of serene grace

 

[pajama]

I see your point but you got to admit you where very lucky. you got a ancient power boost twice and yes the opponent wasn't very smart (using double team knowing your opponent can use arial ace).
But i agree that dunsparce is a good pokemon.

 

[Dunsparce]

Haha, it was only a matter of time.

It's still worth a try. I have adored Dunsparce since GSC, and I hate seeing it get unrightly accused of being weak, ugly, and limited.


btw, In case no one has noticed, the title is named after the GB/GBC sequel to Kid Icarus, "Kid Icarus: of Monsters and Myths"

I see your point but you got to admit you where very lucky.

Luck is what makes Dunsparce work. It is, so far, one of the only Pokemon that people can use without being called n00bs for HaXXing with it.

 

[Aviano]

I love Dunsparce :3 Flinch hax ftw!

 

[kyogre king]

I still hate dunsparce it doesn't look cool

 

[Dunsparce]

I still hate dunsparce it doesn't look cool

-_-;

Not every Pokemon has to be "cool" looking, you know.

You're the kind of person I was talking about in my first post ;/

 

[PDL]

I'd still like it even if it didn't get the retooling it received in the advanced games.

I'd love to have one as a pet actually ^_^

 

[Eerie Fuwante]

Dunsparce is one of my favorites. Its so kawaii and with his monster movepool and haXXing power he makes a great battler.

Even though I use mine in contests

 

[ilabb]

I love Dunsparce, too, but the "doesn't need to evolve" part is a moot point. Scyther and Electabuzz didn't need it either and they got it -_-;

I want a Dunsparce evolution because I love Dunsparce, and by association a better Dunsparce would be even cooler :O

 

[Komedic Konservationist]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Finally, a rant good enough to dispel the n00bish discrimination against Dunsparce and earn it the respect it deserves. Seeing Dunsparce constantly pop up in those damn bashing threads has really been grating on my nerves lately. I think Dunsparce hate boils down to the fact that worms are usually regarded as weak, insipid little creatures, and since the f*ckfaces who insult Dunsparce have a poor knowledge of Japenese mythology and legends, they automatically presume that its a worm as opposed to a Tsuchinoko.

 

[Blueysicle]

Heck, I've loved Dunsparce from the very moment I saw one. I admit that I haven't used one in ages, but it still remains one of my favorite Pokemon. Heh. I ought to use one in my FR version sometime, (Because it's the only game I have so far that I'm able to get Dunsparce in; as my LG game is too early in the game to get one and I don't have Colosseum) since I get a kick out of haxxing my opponents in-game.

And even if it wasn't very strong, I'd still love that cute thing. *hugs Dunsparce plushie*

I'd love to have one as a pet actually ^_^

Hehe. I'd have a Dunsparce as a pet in a heartbeat if it was possible. Unless I saw a Flygon or Poliwhirl first. ^_^

 

[The Admiral]

I think Dunsparce is a middle-of-the-road pokemon: Not the best, but not total ****. This is why people don't use it much - because they're ignorant to the power of the overlooked and are shooting straight for the acclaimed power of the strong. Of course, then they bring out sh.t movesets and still act like such hotshots. It really is pathetic. I'm not big on Dunsparce, but I also typically avoid legendaries like the plague.

[noobers]

About time you did something like this. Whenever someone posts something like "I wish I could get rid of Dunsparce, it`s so weak!" I think to myself: "I bet Dunsparce wouldn`t allow this". I never hated Dunsparce, I always thought of it as a normal pokemon. In fact, I have thought of using it before. I think I might. It`s not the best, but it`s defenalty not the worst. A lot of noobs hate Dunsparce because of it`s looks. They only use pokemon that look "cool", like Charizard(I`m not saying only noobs use it, I`m just saying alot of them do use a Charizard. If it has a good moveset and good stats, it`s okay with me)

[Dratini 79]

I agree. Dunsparce doesn't need to evolve, it's already great.

 

[feebas_factor]

I have to say, dunsparce does present a good opportunity for an evolution... a normal/dragon knucker dragon would be awesome... Ordundrake?

But no, it doesn't need one. And come to think of it, it'd probably take away from dunsparce's unique original... ness.

Too bad it take so long to find in FR/LG... I want my dunsparce!! >_<

The funniest things is watching all the "what pokemon do you hate the most" threads pop up, and seeing the predictable multitude of "dunsparce is so ugly and weak it's just a pokedex filler" answers.

"Pokedex filler" indeed! The very notion of it offends me >:-{

 

[~Ero Oyagi~]

Ive like dunsparce ever since there was a swarm of them in that cave in GSC and i first caught one. It stayed in my team until after i beat the Elite 4, great little guy . Although that battle in the first post is due to a lot of luck...

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

I loved dunsparce but when i came to these forums.......evry1 hated it!waaaa,
The 1st time i saw it,i though"Ooh,must be the new caterpie/weedil of the Johto,dunsparce looks so adorable i want to eat it!Mmmm,want some?Damn it looks so much like a caterpiller.........
