Why does /vp/ hate Talonflame so much? I always thought it was

Because having a flying resist on your team is really hard or something. Fucking Talonflame is oppressing me and he beat up "muh bro" or something stupid like that.

Because this board is filled with edgy underage retards.

I don't. She's the bestest breeding buddy.

It IS solid.

The animosity people have toward it is probably from getting swept by it since they're shitters.

I thought it was amazing that a route 1 pokemon became a huge competitive threat AND a great utility 'mon.

That's what I don't understand.
Talonflame is really good, but it's not overpowered, and there's plenty of ways you can counter it, or even as simple as having any rock type on your team. I don't understand all the hubbub about it being balanced out by another Pokémon. My Porygon2 alone can deal with it just fine.

It can be destroyed. No doubt about that. But the trouble you have to get through if there's no hard counter in your team

Hope pokemon start having 3/4 abilities desu.

Wew lad

It's an easy to use revenge killer that's also pretty difficult to manage if you don't have a Pokemon that has a flying or fire resistance. He can also pull of a competent defensive set thanks to WoW and priority healing.
He's not overpowered, but definitely overused.
