Why did Moltres reside in the Victory Road?

for the cucks that didn't take charizard

It's next to Mt. Fuji, a volcano.

>>25830872
Jesus Christ. I know during leak season reddit comes here but holy fucking shit the amount of underage normies this year is record breaking.

>>25830653
why is Articuno the only design that looks like effort was put into it?
Motltres is just a bird Ponyta and Zapdos is way too overdone on its zig zags

>>25830653

Daily reminder that if those Pokemon were introduced in Gen 4 onwards, their designs would probably be the middle evolution to a much more powerful and heavily designed bird.

>>25830653
Power Plant is filled with Electric Pokemon, it makes sense for Zapdos to reside there.

Sea Foam Islands is filled with Ice Pokemon, it makes sense for Articuno to reside there.

The equivalent for Fire Pokemon would be Pokemon Mansion. But since the player ended up having to go through it to find the Secret Key, it wouldn't make sense to have Moltres there. Instead, they put it in an optional part of Victory Road.

Alternatively, they didn't want to put Moltres in Pokemon tower because it was too close to Sea Foam Islands and Articuno. If you look at where the birds appear on the map, it pretty much forms an equilateral triangle over the Kanto region.

>>25830949
Because Articuno is majestic. Zapdos is just electric Fearow and Moltres....I don't know what the fuck they were thinking making a shitty fire chicken, they clearly improved that concept leagues better with Torchic and beyond.

>>25831006
Blaziken is the ugliest Pokémon in existence. It's not an improvement on anything.

>>25830949
Agreed, it's really weird.

Their original sprites were all poorly designed, but Moltres and Zapdos look a lot more like their original sprites. Maybe Articuno's lack of distinctive features allowed them to work more on its redesign.

>All that talk of Volcanoes and Cinnabar Island

>There wasn't any Volcano until Gen 2

Why didn't they just make a volcano cave for Moltres?

>>25830671
Can you trip, please? So I can filter you?

Moltres should've been at the mansion on Cinnibar. But that would've made it too close to Articuno. I think their priority was spacing out which one you could catch at which point in the game.

Final dungeon so I guess they wanted a Legendary in there. Like how there is frequently an optional mega boss in RPG final dungeons.

Not really, it's the best Fire/Fighting starter both in aesthetics and competitively, plus even if you don't like it is impossible to deny that the candidate for "ugliest pokémon" would never be Blaziken.

In short, you just has shit taste.

Moltres didn't settle in Victory Road, Victory Road was created there because of Moltres. The Pokemon League torch needed an easy source for fire in case it died out, and it had to be Moltres' fire because tradition or something.

>>25831153
Some people don't know that a pony is an actual animal, and believe MLP is the birth of ponies.

Well, ponyta is a pony and I've never seen anyone complain about it before. Pretty sure it's just Keldeo m8

4chan X and the native extension can filter by names, you know...

I like Infernape infinitely better.

Ponyta is also a Pony and I like it. Keldeo just looks like a garbled mess of shit and design, like 4-5 different designs all tossed shit at a wall and saw what stuck and decided to call it a pony, then decided to just add water hooves to call it a water type.

It's fucking stupid and makes me ashamed of anybody who actually puts in effort into designs.

Zapdos is a fucking manlet.

Infernape and even Emboar look better than that abomination, if you actually think humanoid chicken looks good then you're beyond saving

Cause it's a fucking bird.

>tfw no eaon flute zapdos encounter
>tfw no soaring mode were you can find pokemon in the clouds as if they were grass
>tfw no zapdos hidden among black clouds

>>25830653
Because it was the only gen 1 Fire type that was good.

>>25830653
Frozen chicken is my favorite ice type.
What does it's Mega need to have for it to be good?

>>25831031
agreed.

>>25831095

You could catch two of them as soon as you got Surf

because it's the most ironic thing ever

>>25833924
I agree, blaziken's design makes no sense, it has fucking bird feet for hands, fur pillars for legs, two giant unnecessary head wings, and a beak that acts like a stupid plastic mask
