>hits the sweetspot of being OU enough to trigger Karenfags and being cool enough to have genuine fans
What other Pokemon are in this zone?
>>26099155
Literally Fortress but with more shit glued onto it.

Looks like someone got insecure enough to make a thread about it after 2 consecutive days of the contrary

I seriously hope you're using Flamethrower and not Blaze Kick.

ayyyy
Ferrothorn is actually the only OU Pokemon that literally nobody actualy likes.
>>26099155
Here is the (You) you were looking for
>>26099155
Ferrothorn is a bro ingame and in OU.
I suppose Garchomp, Charizard, Greninja and Talonflame could fit those parameters
We like Bisharp, right?
Not OP, but what's wrong with Ferrothorn? Ferroseed isn't that great but Ferrothorn is cool as hell.
>>26099661
>Charizard was hated for being popular and useless
>Charizard is now hated for being popular and OP
>>26099670
One of the coolest Pokemon for a vast majority from what I've seen.
>>26099687
It got two great megas, while a lot of less popular pokemon got stuck with a single shitty one: the hate is deserved
>>26099640
This.
No one actually likes this.
"I d-"
You don't. You play competitive and he is good there. You wouldn't like him for any other reason.
>>26099740
I don't play competitive and I genuinely like Ferrothorn. I genuinely find its design and concept cool.
Seriously, what is wrong with Ferrothorn in the eyes of this fandom? I find it one of, if not the most mishated Pokemon in the franchise.
>Y-you only liked her after she got a m-mega!
>>26099740
I like Excadrill. Mold Breaker is so good.
>>26099685
There's nothing cool about "Spikes on a Disk"
>>26099808
It's nice that this shitmon got a bone thrown to it. It's quite a fan favorite.
>>26099808
I don't think anyone says this. People have been waifuing her for ages.
>>26099828
There are no cool Pokemon.
Prove me wrong.
>>26099851
There are cool Pokemon.
>>26099851
>>26099872
Clearly that Pokemon is not cool. It's cool stat is bottomed out.
>>26099661
Garchomp is a piece of ugly turd no one actually liked when it was initially revealed
>>26099851
>implying
>>26099740
I have never played competitive in my life and Ferrothorn is still my favorite Steel-type and third favorite Grass-type.

figures neo/vp/ is not old enough to actually be around for DP prerelease
It's Mega is even worse, it's like gamefreak decided to take all of the shittest aspects of it's design and multiply them tenfold. It's Pokemon like this genwunners bring up when they talk about the design quality going down the drain, and desu looking at fagchomp it's hard not to agree with them
>>26100263
>being a literal faggot
Just... stop being so literal all the goddamn time.
>>26100315
Oh, so you get puns! You are just triggered by them.
What are Karenfags? How does this guy trigger them?
>>26099851
The Ron Jeremy of Pokemon. An ugly motherfucker but gets more tail than a shelder. Think of a pokdgirl. There's porn of hypno fucking her.
Ursaring is my favorite pokemon
he does just fine in OU but I don't know if many other people think he's cool
>>26100297
Maybe you should stop projecting your bad taste to the entire fanbase.
>>26099155

Silly anon, you're on /vp/. You're not allowed to like things for anything.

It's fucking shit. It clashes so hard and nothing about it represents anything in nature, not even a durian because 'thorn gets "squashed" midway after 'sees evolves. It looks artificial for no fucking reason. Even shitmons like the Kling line have an excuse to be alive. But this thing just sort of started existing as a Grass/Steel type and nothing more. GF just wanted a new type combo out of several other noted ones .
A huge amount of Gen V designs abuse a black and white color schema because of their title namesakes. Black in particularly is abused like hell in narrow contours and anything with edges and stripes.
>Seismitoad line
>Emogla
>Stunfisk
>Amoongus line
And Ferrothorn included. It looks honest to god like something out of Ben 10.
>>26100368
I'm sure he has fans, but I'm not one of them. Goddamn it looks fucking awful.
>>26100364
fagchomp was like 50 at the pokemon electrion list despite all of the undeserved pushing it got thus far
why is that?
OH WAIT maybe because no one but smogonniggers actually likes a literal fish with legs, hahahahahah
>>26100368besttaste
I'm surprised that this thing hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.
>>26100368
>>26100449
Maybe because it was a literal Scrub Alert: The Pokemon before this generation
>>26099203
Fuck off Johtoddler.
>>26100397
Its pre-evo looks exactly like a durian.
Its evo is literally what everyone on /vp/ cries out to be a good evolution. It doesn't suffer from "it just gets bigger!" syndrome. It doesn't suffer from being completely different than its predecessor. Also, it still matches the theme, looking like a thorn apple mixed with iron, which is literally its namesake.
Next you're going to argue chesnaught shouldn't exist because you don't see any chestnuts walking around punching things.
>>26100436
I think reaching the top 50 of 721 is pretty respectable. :/
>>26100368
I've shat out turds that look a little like Heatran.
>>26100554
please see a doctor, anon
>>26100540
>>26100540
Chestnaught is on the scale of being based off something subtlely.
Ferrothorn is on the scale of trying so hard to be based off something, that it overflows and mutates into a Ben 10 deviantart fakemon.
You're pulling conjectures out of your ass with that apple comparison. It LITERALLY does not resemble anything. You will not find and show me a pic ITT that even remotely resembles Ferrothorn. Chestnaught ISN'T A FUCKING CHEST NUT ITS JUST INSPIRED BY SOME OF ITS ASPECTS. You flipped the argument like a fucking noob so now its time to own up.
Please, please post something. Anything. And I will take a systematic shit on it. I dare you motherfucker.
I always imagine Ferro as a Souls enemy, crawling on the walls, jumping all over the place and pulverizing you with its extending vine maces. Legitimately one of my favorite designs, and being a top tier grass type.
>>26100598
Not him, but what's your beef? You hate Ferrothorn that much?
>>26099155
Ferrithorn is one of my favorite Pokémon. I liked it immediately, even though back in Gen V everyone said it was complete shit and that no one would ever be able to use it competitively.
>>26100598
>>26100598
It's a burr you autistic fuck. It's supposed to embody thorny plants in general and takes inspiration from several. It also has elements of medieval weapons like flails and caltrops to reflect its steel type.
>>26099155
>literally the only ugly grass type
>including ferroseed
How about you fuck right off.
>>26100598
Dude, do you need some Preparation-H for that butthurt?
>yfw spiky shield resembles a thorn apple more than ferroshit
>ferroshit cant learn the move
Retarded fucking ferroshitfags shitting out conjectures like there is no tomorrow just to hide their dishonesty in why they love this shitty fucking gen V design.
Ferroshit looks like it got smushed. Thorn apples do not smush. Just stop.
>>26100738

>>26100780
Holy shit this mad. I can only assume this fucker plays a lot of OU and is really bad at it.
>>26100780
>post yfw the starter signature moves stop being exclusive and Ferrothorn and Cloyster both get Spiky Shield/Water Shuriken
>>26100857
Both of those moves stopped being exclusive in ORAS.
>>26099687
Charizard is my bro since gen 1
Stay salty, /tv/-tier shit cuntrarians.
>>26100870
Oh fug really? Who has access to them and Mystical Fire now?
>>26100914
cactuses, accelgor and mismagius
>>26100923
And Maractus as well for Spikey Shield
>>26100345
>he does just fine in OU
I've come across few teams in OU with Ursaring and crushed each one of them
He's cool, but PU for a reason
>>26099203
>>26099243
>>26099533
you guys must have been severely buttblasted by the steel barb god
stay triggered
Even with Stealth Rock, one good opening and it can wreck an entire team.
>>26100345
Ursaring is awesome, but it's complete shit. Although that just makes it even more hilarious when you maul the entire enemy team to death with a flaming bear.
So basically, you want me to choose a favorite that isn't as popular so that I can be a special snowflake? Who cares what other kids liked? Charizard has tons of meaning to me.
My first starter went along with my love of dragons. I'm a martial artist, and learned at a young age about the power and confidence of dragons in myth. I was (and still kind of am) a hothead, so I always gelled with Fire as an element, and Charmander was the natural choice for me. My dad even surprised me with the Red version *specifically* when we couldn't find the game during the original Pokemon hype because he knew those things about me. It's kind of how I was raised.
In the anime, his standoffish BS really mirrors my own edgy crap as a teenager. Nice, timid kid gets stronger and toughens up but is a total shit about it, eventually gets over himself and becomes a loyal bro. Shit was my "coming of age" to a T.
My friends all know/knew that Charizard was my ace, and agreed that it suited me. Everyone knew that I just "fit" with Charizard and questioned any time I benched him to try out other 'mon. Hell, when Charizard X was first announced, we all thought it was perfect that his color scheme matched the colors I use in my own business and am usually sporting: black and blue.
It may sound corny, but so is that shit about Gyarados "representing the ascension of the underdog" or Marowak "overcoming past and tribulations."
Charizard is just my favorite Pokemon, Anon. I don't see why that's such a fucking problem for people.

Fuck off. I liked it since the whole dex was leaked
>>26100598
I'm the person you replied to.
And it seems like literally everyone else did my job by posting thorn apples and burrs; the thing Ferrothorn is based off of. Also..you do know "Ferro" means "Iron", right?
Also, Chestnaught is definitely not subtle. It's a fucking chestnut and juggernaut.
>>26101055
good for you
Ursaring is still OU

literally ANY pokemon can be viable in OU
This thread proves once and for all that Chesnaughtfags are fucking awful people and anyone who says otherwise should be laughed out.
>>26102084
No one was saying it couldn't be "viable" in OU, though it would have to serve in a pretty niche role or require quite a bit of support to make work. We are saying that it is not OU, by definition.
>>26102134
That same guy has been rampaging through the other threads because he got BTFO in here. I'm on my phone so I can't screen and edit together a collage but check around.
>>26102176
This. The gen VI starter fanbases have a couple of assholes just like any other fanbase, but it's easy to identify THE assholes, that couple of idiots incessantly false-flagging to stir up shit.
>>26102176
Aren't Chesnaughtfags normally chill? Like they just want to cuddle their bara beaver thing and ship it with Greninja.
>>26100719
>one anon says its a thorn apple and not a burr
So its a burr then? A random as fuck plant no one knows about? Fedorathorn looks more disc shaped and artificial.
>based on flail
So you admit its an artificial mon thats based on a weapon. Gee, I sure as fuck better not see any of you dissing Honedge then, because this is top of the line stretching.
All the claims in this thread, are flimsy at best. But dont forget this started on the basis of why you like this piece of shit, not its obscure ass references you have to google deep for and dont actually appreciate it for what it is.
People who ARENT hardcore unovabortions wont look at it and say "oh I know what that is!". They will look at it and think its some fugly spiked ball with no personality.
This is monumental. I just found out a new fanbase of shitters. And they are ferroshitfags.

>>26099155
This fucking bro.
If you could completely erase one OU pokemon from existence,or just make it so shitty there would be no reason to use it anywhere, which one would you pick?
>>26100345
Ursaring would be good if it could beat an important choice scarf speed tier with STAB quick feet facade. If it had 65 speed or 70 I think it would be waaay more useful because it'd be fast and hit ridiculously hard. It also has excellent coverage. Earthquake, Play Rough, Close Combat, even Crunch. It also couldn't be WoW'ed or Twaved. It'd be at least UU.
That or quick attack because guts belly drum. Extremespeed would probably get it suspected.
How has nobody mentioned the OG ghost yet?

I ALREADY TORE DOWN YOUR SHITTY DELUSIONS AND EXCUSES AND YOU STILL FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE UP EXCUSES AS TO WHY YOU LOVE THIS ABOMINATION.
IF YOU HAD JUST ADMITTED THAT YOU ONLY LIKED IT FOR COMPETITIVE REASONS WE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS MESS.
NOW THIS BOARD, NO, THE WHOLE INTERNET KNOWS THAT /VP/ IS UNOVABORTION CENTRAL AND THEY ACTUALLY """"LIKE"""" HIDEOUS POKEMON JUST BECAUSE OF GEN V'S POWER CREEP.
