Talonflame is a shit pokemon. Fuck you

What if Talonflame is one of my favorites?
It's a fast and cool flaming falcon. What's with the hate?

>>26982459
mad

But Talonflame is actually one of my favorites of both Flying and Fire type.
It being good in battle and perfect to hatch eggs just makes me appreciate it more.

>>26982482
>What's with the hate?
People who can't get over its name. When X/Y came out, everybody began shitting on Talonflame's name because they felt it was a horrible name that didn't sound right and was just 'two words smashed together'. Not to mention other illogical reasons.

Also, people are pissy at Talonflame because of the competitive battling scene or whatever.

Want some butt aid with that?

>>26982509
I get that the name isn't good, but it isn't horrible.
And yeah, I get the competitive part as well, but that's why you have to take it into consideration when building your team. If you play BattleSpot or VGC I could see why you'd be pissed though, but personally I'm more of a UU guy.

I hate talonflame because of how it centralizes the meta but despite initially hating the name, i would defend its name because

Bell + sprout
Sea + king
Slow + bro
Vile + plume

and many others

Stealth Rocks!!!

You okay Bruxish? Need to talk? I'm here to listen to your problems.

>>26982532
Sand + Slash
Dug + Trio

>>26982561
Dugtrio kind of works in context but never even thought about Sandslash and Sandshrew.

>>26982532
Plus in non english speaking countries it still sounds pretty good

>>26982561
>>26982567
Yep.

Bee + drill
and the more arguable ones (because they happen to be compound words but not necessarily pertaining to the pokemon characteristics)
Butter + free
Rapid + ash
Slow + poke
Dew + gong

>>26982590
>Rapid + ash
You mean rapid + dash

>>26982459
Image how salty Karen must have been after being defeated to say shit like this.

I always imagined she was talking about you, after that dragon's den quiz and all.

I'll take a bad name over a shitty design any day. See Samurott

>>26982825
There are also people who think it ruined Fletchinder's design, somehow. Point is that there are many idiots with many different opinions.

Remove smogonfags that see pokemon as tools

Would nerfing Stealth Rock to do a max of 30% put Talonflame in ubers?

>>26983854
Yes. It was already banned in Monotype for being very centralising, surprisingly unpredictible (SD + Roost, SD + Natural Gift, bulky with some combination of Wisp, Bulk Up and Taunt) and just generally cancerous.

>>26983616
I don't understand this rivalry. It's because of Smogon restrictions that I can play my Karenfag poison team without being wiped out by Raquayquay and friends every single time.
