In my day and days before, fighting types looked threatening

truly a most threatening creature

>>28612817
>Intimidate
you're not wrong

Fighting types peaked in gen 1

Machamp, Primeape and the first two Hitmons are top tier, Heracross is also pretty darn good

Since gen 3 Fighting has been on a steady decline though

Gallade, Scrafty and Toxicroak are all major badasses

>>28612835
Hitmonchan looks like crap and Machamp is equally boring and ugly. Primeape and Hitmonlee are good though.

>>28612726
>Fighting means it has to look big and mean

Thank God not all Fighting-types aren't angry humanoids.

>>28612835
>peaked in the gen it couldn't do shit in
Nigga, your bait is obvious, but fighting's peak was at gen v with its addition of the strongest fighting types currently in the meta along with new and improved moves (Close Combat and High Jump Kick).

This.

>>28612926
It doesn't matter how strong or useful Gen 5's Fighting types are because they look like shit

Competitive value is not important

>>28612966
Fucking casual.

>>28612835
Hitmontop is the worst fighting type ever designed so I'd say any "decline" began in gen 2.

Best fighting type.
I'm not a fan of humanoid pokemon.

>>28613096

Bipedal =/= humanoid

>>28612835
Hardcore Machamp guy here, Fighting types peaked in Gen 5, incidentally also the generation that introduced Machamp's successor, Conkeldurr

>>28612890
Primeape is like a 10 yr old's sketch of a monkey. Machamp is (one of the) iconic fighting types

Try as you may, you aren't separate from the likes of Sawk and Throh

>egg group meaning anything

Reminder that Gardevoir, one of the most humanoid, Pokemon isn't in the Human-like egg group.

>>28613096
The goats are the actual worst trio, and that's impressive considering how bland the Pixies are and how lazy the Genies are.

>>28612835
One or two questionable or quote/endquote "bad designs" in a given gen does not equate to a decline. This fucking word has lost all meaning.

>>28613290
>>28613438

I think Mienshao is in the Human-like egg group because it fights like a human with martial arts, not because it resembles a human.

>>28613096
>I'm not a fan of humanoid pokemon
and people had the audacity to complain about fighting types lacking in "creativity and diversity" when without humanoid pokemon, all we have are my moms animals and objects

>>28613704
>one or two
Literally all post-gen 2 Fighting types except Pangoro and Toxicroak are shit

>>28613082
Scrafty looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old.
Definitely the shittiest fighting type of all time.

>>28612966
>Competitive value doesn't matter
Nigga that's literally the most important part. Not even competitive wise, but just in game use too.

But the best fighting type was just recently added

>>28613557
>worst trio
but anon, the Regis and Genies are worse

In terms of a generation's fighting types
3>4>6=2>1>5

>>28615859
Regis are the best trio in the game though. Unique theme, awesome way of being found, and interesting designs.

>people like hawlucha

not only its unoriginal as fuck (HEHE LUCHADOR BIRD), it's also ugly

goddamn /vp/lebeians

>>28612835
>>28614164
this is nice bait

>>28616410
Fucking shit taste

>>28619089
That's what you have m8

>>28619285
You put the generations that set the template for fighting types to come (Gen I: Machamp's stats were the template for Heracross, Pangoro; Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were the template for Sawk and Throh, and gave rise to Tyrogue and Hitmonlee) and the competitive peak of the type (Gen 5: Conkeldurr, the Swords of Justice, improved moves) at the very bottom. Your taste is objectively shit

>>28612926

>>28619368
>Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were the template for Sawk and Throh
A lackluster duo is the template for a lackluster duo? Not something to be proud of desu

>>28615717
I'd say he's probably the most threatening fighting type yet. I mean, at least as threatening as it can possibly get without it looking like a dark type. There truly aren't that many "threatening" fighting types at all; most of them look too goofy, heroic, or innocent to take too seriously. Unless you imagine them in real life; then Conkeldurr would probably be truly ugly and monstrous. Although Bewear may change things by virtue of being a giant, cute, fucked up pedo hug creature thing.

>>28619713
Iconic enough to get unova versions. Just like blaziken was to get infernape and emboar. If you like gen 3 the most fine. But to claim 1 and/or 5 belong at the bottom is a fuckhuge mistake

Dunno, his wife can't take hits really well

>>28621118
And that is who?

I hope Gen 7 doesnt disappoint. Crabrawler looks decent and promising. But i feel like a gen is incomplete without a classic plain old humanoid bruiser

>>28623251
I wish Crabrawler got Tough Claws instead of Iron Fist

I have a feeling Bewear will fill that niche you specified this gen

>>28623411

I hope I'm alive until gen 9 then
