>copypaste a mon for dex fodder
>multiple times
Why do people bother defending this?
>>28445846
>All gen 3 mons
Did other gens do this as bad?
Gen 3 introduced double battles, so it just makes sense I think
>>28445846
Then again I'd rather have them as separate mons instead of separate forms.
>>28445905
Three identical Lake Guardians in IV Gen
Two identical Sea Guardians in IV Gen
Three identical Monkeys Families in V Gen
Three identical Genies in V Gen
So, yeah, other gens did it
>>28446263
Those are more like linked Pokemon. Gen 3's are literal copy pastes.
>>28445846
>>28446263
Is it a coincidence that all these pokemon are really unlikeable?
>>28446320
>literal copypaste
>nuh uh those are linked pokemon
kys
>>28446263
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>28446400
if it helps you understand, you've linked the equivalent of volbeat and illumise
>>28446374
>Latis
>Minun/Plusle
>unlikeable
I agree with the rest though
>>28446263
These dont really count like >>28446320 said
Gen 3 did it the worse imo
>>28445846
It's because Gen 3 introduced double battles
>grasping at straws this hard
>>28446263
So no one's gonna point this out then?
>>28446340
>>28446401
>>28446546
I fucking hate this board.
>>28445846
Because they've done it all the time before and since. Gen 3 had a bit more due to the introduction of double-battles, so there were more pairs.

>>28446546
Point out what? What is that thing? What site is this?
>>28445846
that was the entire gimmick of gen 3
>double battles
>2 pseudos
>2 Pikaclones
>2 evil teams
how is it that nobody never notices this?
>>28446703
/vp/ isn't old enough to have played gen 3.
>>28445846
Hate the pikaclones
>>28446737
Are you kidding? /vp/ is made up of hoennbabbies.
>>28446813
sinnohfetuses actuallyas evidenced by this shit thread
>>28446263
What was the point of the lake trio again?
>Look almost identical
>Same type
>Average player won't even understand what sets them apart
>Competitive player would likely only care about the blue one
>>28446546
>>28446813
>hoennbabbies
>>28446546
WHY WOULD Y
>>28446813
/vp/ is made out of paranoid Johtoddlers who cry "Hoennbaby!" at the slightest provocation.
>>28446879
This is how I feel about any trio after the dogs, desu.
>>28446401
>>28446546
>>28446591
I don't get it.
>>28446994
There's literally a thread up right now with a ton of 18/19 year olds saying their first games were RSE.
>>28447080
>literally
>muh hoenn boogeyman
>>28447062
>>28446546
>>28446813
>>28446877
>>28446994
ha ha
But seriously /vp/ is filled with quiet Johtotoddlers and Unovabortions, and Loud Hoennbabbies and Sinnohfetuses. The Go crowd, leak season and surge in popularity of the board also brings in Genwunners and Kalosperm
>>28445846
I'm not gonna defend it necessarily, but they added 130~ Pokemon in Gen III which even if you take out the dupes in the OP you still get double the amount Gen VI added. Never really bothered me.
The only thing I'd even want to change regarding those six Pokemon would be to remove either Cascoon or Silcoon and have the evolutionary line split there rather than with Wurmple and just have the two separate moth forms. No need for two useless Coccoons.
I like the Latis, it was cool they were exclusive to each respective game. The last cool roaming legends.
And I vehemently hate Pikaclones, but I think Plusle and Minun are the most acceptable ones and there was at least a purpose having two of them, to introduce players to double battles, so whatever.
>>28446263
All gens do this shit
>3 legendary birds
>3 legendary beasts
>the regis
>the lake trio
>the forces of nature
The only gen that doesn't have that is gen 6
>>28446340
Where am I? How did I get here?
>>28447271
Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos have different body shapes, different eyes etc.
So does Raikou, Entei and Suicune.
So does Regice, Regirock and Registeel
So does therian formes of Tornadus, Thundrus and Landorus
BUT!
Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, on the other hand, have the same body shape. And the same eyes (except for blind Uxie)
So does usual formes of Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus.
If one of them being thin, other being fat and third being short - I wouldn't complain at all.
But they differs in very, VERY small details.
>>28447215
Careful, don't want to assert that the people here have differing opinions
>>28446340
>>28446401
MOOOOOODS!
>>28447271
What are you talking about? All the regis and birds and beasts are all different Pokemon, not just pallet swaps or literal duplicates like lake trio and Manaphy/Phione (respectively).
>>28446340
wtf?
>>28447215
My first pokemon game was red mystery dungeon, what does that make me?
>>28449151
its mlre about blindly defending skmething more than what was your first game.
