Why does /vp/ hate him?
I don't hate it, it's alright
Your premise is incorrect, emboar is bro-tier.
>HE
I use Choice-Scarfed Emboar regularly.
>>26342772
It's my favorite fire starter
>>26342772
Because it's ugly
>>26342772
I love Emboar anon, he's up there with the greats
>>26342808
yes, he
Fighting type
Bipedal
Bara bait
Fire/fighting 3 times in a row.
All he can do is take recoil damage when he attacks.

They're just butthurt Chesnaughtfags angry that Emboar is better than their shitmon. Pay them no heed.
>>26342972
Emboar > Serperior > The Other One
>>26342772
I dont. Emboar is Embro.
People just blindly hate him because they think he is a clone when in fact
>Typhlosion has Charizard'a literal stats
>Infernape's stats is improved Blaziken
So in fact, as of Gen 5, Emboar is the most unique fire starter in terms of stat spread and playstyle
Another problem is people's very own expectation of having quadrupedal starter--which is not the actual Pokemon's fault but rather the mismatch between the players and GF
They may see him as ugly but newsflash--not all pokemon are meant to be cute, cuddly or elegant. And that's okay.
>all the unovabortions in this thread
threw up in my mouth a lil
People just hate Emboar because it's the 3rd bipedal fire/fighting starter. If the objectively worse Blaziken and Infernape didn't exist, Emboar would be seen as an amazing design.

Ugly barashit.

Throw up a bit more, will you?

>>26343686
If Infernape was Fire/Electric with a Levitate HA and had a cloud then it would be cool. Blaziken needs a different type entirely. Fire/Steel possibly?
>>26343738
>mega infernape rides a nimbus cloud
I'M IN
>>26343719
>Ugly
Hardly
>Barashit
and that's supposed to be bad?
Emboar is awesome, One of the best mons to use in trick room imo. Access to curse, hammer arm, and sucker punch makes it devastating.
>>26343720
No one likes you people. You are nothing.
Just remember that always.

Barafags will make bara of anything they want. If they want to make Blastoise bara, they can and will.
>>26343764
Wow. And you puke up over "nothing"? Pussy.
I'm not even a Unovanortion--I started with RBY but okay. If that helps you sleep at night.
Friendly reminder that all the Gen V starters are absolutely fucking based.
>>26342772
Design wise, because:
>Fat pokemons are shit
I don't care there are some cherry picked exceptions
>He is bipedal
>Proportions are stupid
>Overdesigned bullshit
>>26343672
>being a newfag
>>26342772
I like him, one of the few Fire types that learn Scald.
>>26342772
I like Emboar a lot. The only thing that bugs me about it its the swirls on its belly that look like they literally didn't know what else to put in there.
>>26342772
Ugly as sin.
>>26342772
I don't hate it. In fact, I like the Terminaboar.
It was my Starter in W2 (after Samurott in W which was cool but definitely lacking a secondary type) and I was really happy with it.
It may be be slow as molasses, but damn son, does it hit like a fucking train.
>>26342972
>That one anon that constantly brings up chesnaught for no reason
>>26343738
How does steel and electric make any sense with Infernape and Blaziken?
Also because 1. Emboar's design isn't really that good and 2. because it's the third fire/fighting starter IN A FUCKING ROW.
Man imagine if they made Emboar look like Ganon? Masuda plz
>Fire/Fighting AGAIN
>Bipedal for no reason
>>26342772
My fav gen 5 starter
Best starter, design wise
>>26343635
Personally it's seriously starting to rustle my jimmies how fire starters in general since Gen 3 end up humanshape when there's no reason to
>Oh cool a little chicken, maybe it will be evolve into a Fire-type terrorbird or something
>nope, have a man in a fursuit with a bird/dragon mask!
>neat, a fire pig, maybe it will evolve into a ramming tank-ish boar
>nope, have Fire Pig Ganondorf
>Oh a cute little fennec, maybe it will evolve into a mystic, elegant fox!
>nah, how about a VLC cone with a fox head and a bad case of ear hair?
Emboar is still alright though. Was pretty based in a BW run
Emboar is my favorite fire starter of all time. But I do understand why his design usually goes disliked.
For one he was the third time in a row we got fire/fighting as a starter, and most people on vp dislike chubby designs. I prefer Emboar mainly because Blaziken looks a bit too much like someone in a chicken suit and Infernape is a bit too small and scrawny looking for my tastes. I dont hate them, but Emboar looks like a bulky fucker who could rip shit up.
It's probably the fact that his body shape is sort of akward, with no neck to be seen and appearing very egg shaped.
Finally its probably because a lot of people wanted it to stay on all fours instead of stand up like most fire starters to. I'de be lying if when we were still in the dark about the evolutions that I didnt want a charging fire boar, but im still content with what we got.
You can still like a pokemon even if you understand they have a few weird design elements or missed potential. Most important thing to realize is never let vp change your tastes, because vp will make a hate thread on literally every pokemon at some point.
>>26342772
Bacon a bro
Because he's a boar? Idfk
I've never seen so much love for Emboar before.
He will always have haters but knowing a lot of people like him, too makes me happy
I don't hate it, i'm just not a fan of the fire/fighting legacy its carried on when it could have been a little more different, from design alone it could have had a few other options in typing.Oddly enough I like it most out of the fire/fightings, Infernape is cool too but Blaziken is disgusting
>>26342772
Because /vp was wrong about wottergate
And /vp can never be wrong
So the Pokemon sucks, why else would they think it was fake?
>>26342772
Because Fire-Fighting, honestly.
If he had been Fire/Dark, it'd be a whole 'nother story.
Same with Samurott if he was Water/Fighting.
>>26344814
Also being 3rd fire/fighting starter in a row didn't help matters
>still my bro, but I understand why that bothered a few.
>>26344594
He's my favourite Pokemon and has been for years.
