It's not bland, I just really, really, really like this image.

Don't listen to Smogon. Instead, remember what Karen told you

>>27428233
Yeah, and what Karen said is total bullshit.

>Dark trainer

Karen didn't even know types. I'm not listening to some vapid bitch about Pokemon.

>>27428233
The whole story of pokemon is about hearing people tell you about how every pokemon is viable if you love them enough
And about that 12y old ruthless kid who dumpster them all

>>27428233

But isn't the point of setting up different categories so there's a place for most pokemon to be viable?

Because if Smogon didn't exist then less pokemon would be used, because there aren't tiers that ban good pokemon.

I asked my waifu this question but she just gave me a weird look.

>>27428233
In universe it makes sense because I doubt there is a true upper limit for pokemon like the games have.

Tiers exist for a reason

Use your favorite on the designated tier and stop trying to force it on OU

But I need and require all people to respect my bro.

I don't want them to use him, though. Because if he gets popular I'll have to pretend I never liked him.

>>27428299
At least Karen uses a majority dark team and doesn't pretend to be a ghost master like her grandma, Agatha

>Favorites are in BL, two in UU, RU, PU, and NFE
If staraptor wasn't in eternal BL then I wouldn't complain.

>Smogon killed Pokemon by making it competitive! It's no longer about using your favorites!
Your favorites aren't viable in a competitive arena. Play in the lower tiers.
>But lower tiers are for losers!
Isn't that a direct contradiction to your philosophy?

Nobody talked about smogon, drone.

How do you type while being blind? Do you have a braille keyboard or something?

There is no god

>>27428299
you do realize that an elite four trainer to use just his type actually started in gen 3, right?
before that, only Will used a team only of his specialty, and yet he have 2 flying types, a grass one, one water and one ice

Karen is a fucking hack

They push this shit so fucking hard, but there is not even the smallest attempt to make it real within the games.

No training system to help weaker pokemon keep up.

No plateu for all pokemon to reach.

No nothing. Just "This pokemon is the same type, but has a better move set and higher stats!". Fuck these gay game designers.

>>27428157
Examples?

>>27429058
Hmm, I wonder why?

>>27429058
It's not like the earlier gens had team variety anyways.

Agatha's team was all poison types. The only mons on Lance's team that weren't flying types were unevolved failures.

The image is all wrong, though. He should have the equivalent of that big nose which is one of the most iconic features of the image.
