"And so I stood aghast in horror as a wretched creature slithered towards me, perhaps having emerged from some smoldering crater or scorched crag. It at first appeared to be some form of chimp, but the hideous creature was horribly scarred, its skin reddened by exposure to flame, its very flesh still ablaze. The beast clearly expected me to join it in its misery, as it hissed one word at me from its burning lungs. "Charrrr...."- I.Q Loveform
>>27374025
I've never actually picked up chimcar, but why do so many people shit on it?
Like its a unique design with cool lore
>>27374391
Fags that are scared of monkeys.
>>27374391
i don't like that its head looks like poop
That's one of the ugliest first stage starters though.
>>27374391
It always looked so bland to me for some reason
>>27374025
your starter is crap
>>27374391
>>27374025
chimchar is okay. i only pick him because infernape is so cool. although empoleon is also great. torterra is good too. honestly, gen 4 was the last time that i would consider all 3 starters to be good.
>>27374391
It's a terrible design.
>>27375487
Gen 4 is the only time I would consider all 3 starters to be great.
Gen 1 comes very close though
>>27375576
Top tier taste.
>>27375576
i consider gen 1 starters to be great and gen 2 to be good. gen 3 and 5 are a hit and miss and i think gen 6 started out good but the final evos for gen 6 are all just awful in my opinion.
>>27374450
guude taste famalam
Chimchar is okay but why is he hunched over like an old man?
Monferno and Infernape are great though
>tfw can't pick a Unova starter bc they're all shit
>>27375576
Same
>>27376209
Samurott and serperior are pretty good imo. Shame serperior was pure grass, could've been more interesting. Emboar looks like garbage though
>>27376209
>>27376209
i think the grass snake looks good. very regal looking.
the entire line
>>27376209
But all three are good. Emboar is a little weird, but Samurott and Serperior are great. Tepig is good at first stage though.
>>27377504
Top tier taste
>>27375576
Gen 1, 3, and 4 are the only ones where you can pick any starter and not risk being far outclassed.
>>27374025
>>27374467
It's also farting a fireball! HAHAHAHAH! SO FANNY!
>>27377533
Emboar is Ganon. You get a Zelda villain as your pokemon, mang.
>>27378556
Will we get varieties that are not pikachu? I like the concept, but fuck if I hate pikachu with a deep passion.
>>27374025
why the fuck is its head the size of its entire body?
I always hated this direction shift in pokemon design. there was a fake leak that showed sadfish and a fake pansage; the fake pansage is very well proportioned and looks leagues better than the one we actually got for that reason.
>>27378658
YES
>>27374025
>>27375643
>>27378556
>>27378658
good
>>27374383
>>27374450
>>27377504
meh, it's alright
>>27374025
shit tier, into the fucking trash it goes
>>27378658
Fuck off poliwrathfags
>>27379092
Poliwhirl is awesome but was ruined by poliwrath's "it just gets bigger syndrome"
>>27379081
that's poliwhirl you intelectual straight
[spoilers]nice taste btw[/spoilers]
>>27378682
Why would anyone hate pikachu
>>27379126
What is there to like? It's overexposed, It's way uglier than the other rodent pokemon, it's gimmick is that it is an electric pokemon that can't even produce electricity (It stores static on it's cheeks), It's overexposed, it has introduced shit tier anime canon into the games (like pokemon cries being their name), it's overexposed, it's a living reminder of the series' stagnation and generally hampers progress by making the design team try to recapture the pikachu design instead of focusing on proper new designs. No other pokemon's design elements repeat as often as pikachu's, or hell, no other pokemon has as many variants as pikachu.
In short, pikachu is a very bad thing that damages pokemon by simply existing. It's nice that it can generally be ignored, but that won't make it okay for it to exist the way it does, damaging designes left and right.
>>27374025
Glad to see this cute little guy getting some love. Chimchar is adorable and a solid design. Good pick, OP.
>>27374025
>elder god tier pokemon designs
>posts a shit tier design
what did he mean by this?
Best girl.
Best leaf.
Best wife.
>>27374025
Pic unrelated right?
Because this is the only good fire simian.
>>27379317
>It's overexposed
That's the whole reason why it picked a Pikachu outfit. It's extremely popular and well known among the masses and it want to use that to get some friends.
>no other pokemon has as many variants as pikachu.
Well, except for Unown and Rotom as of Dex Rotom.
>>27374391
When no one has a good reason, you can just assume it's a meme.
