Find a flaw.
Also, Chikorita thread. I hope this one doesn't die after 7 posts.
hey boys~

Too bad /vp/ hates this line. Its one of my all-time favorites.
>>29032246
Literally the worst starter in game and competitively
>>29032303It's my favourite starter
>>29032309
Bayleef is better than most water and grass starters competitively. Except for the ones that have megas.
>>29032317
Good. Chikorita needs more love.
Take away the weird head leaf and seeds and it's just a boring Brachiosaurus.
MR. STAKE!
>>29032309
It grew on me after I realized that it's supposed to be a living pear instead of a dinosaur with anime eyes.
I also like Jynx a lot more since someone pointed out that its black face was actually supposed to be darkness because it has no body and is just a dress and a wig being controlled by some sort of psychic power. I hate how it's literally a fat woman with purple skin now.
I miss my Meganium, I lose a lot of good buddies when my Silver version died...
>>29032246
/vp/... I never thought the day would come where there would be an appreciation thread for one of my top favorite mons... let today be officially labeled Meganium monday
>>29032246
It's shit in-game and it can't even hold an useful item because if you take away its everstone it turns into Meganium. Fuck Meganium.
I think it's more useful in HG/SS, but I refuse to play those shitty remakes ever gain.
>>29032291
Mods!
>>29032459
In the mean time, I might as well do a dump of all the pictures I have
>>29032411
I thought Jynx was a kind of parody of the ganguro style in Japan- dark skin and light hair, which is the opposite of what they traditionally find beautiful.
Chikorita is cute! CUTE!
>>29032341
Can I get a link to the full picture of this?
>>29032525
That is the full picture.
It's weird how Chikorita almost never appears in any cutest pokemon top 10. Do people hate it THAT much?
Tentaclita.

This mutant pear is unironically my favorite pokemon of all time. It's the only pokemon that I ever wished was a digimon. She has so much potential. But she's stuck in a dying videogame series owned by the most incompetent developers in existence. She sucks in battle, can't digivolve into cool shit and can't even talk. Such a waste of a perfect design.
Seriously, she should be a fucking digimon. She's too perfect for Pokemon.
I love every single starter, all of them, true story, and hate faggots who feel the need to take a shit on them because they didn't evolve in the exact thing they imagined.
Chikorita's cute, but I've never used one in game
Is this a worst starter thread?
>>29032616
>chikorita and bayleef will never get leaf blade to compensate for their subpar stats and movepools
>>29032339
>The only starter to have both middle and last evolution in PU

Don't have anything else that isn't in this thread, sorry lads
>>29032246
Find a positive
chikorita line is the worst and most irrelevant starter line
>>29032707
It's tanky as fuck with eviolite. It can use synthesis, aromatherapy and toxic. It can do decent damage with gigadrain. And it works even better under the sun. I just wish it had better abilities.
Bayleef and regenerator Corsola are my favorite pokemon for competitive battles. I use them in almost every team. I don't always win, but they aren't bad at all, even in OU.
>>29032728
>fruit with hair
>dinosaur with hair
I don't know which is worse.
>>29032779
You just listed one
Chikorita's line relieves barely any attention, causing it to have no bad Fandom side
Also we have its cute design that literally no one could have a reason to hate
Really, if you set its shitty typing and move pool aside, you may come to find that it isn't so bad
>>29032848
That's really the only meh thing I had in my folder
>tfw Majority of Bayleff art not related by Ash's Bayleff and Nicobay is totally rare
>>29032779
>cutest pokemon ever
>looks like a pear, objectively the best fruit IRL
>coolest middle form BY FAR without becoming an ugly mess
There are worse starters. And good players find a way to make their favorite pokemon work in battle, instead of using ugly pieces of crap that "outclass" them
I may lose more often using my favorites, but it's not like I lose all the time. Where's the fun in using edgy digimons you probably don't even like just to win more often?
Chikorita is the best foodmon.
>>29032851
>causing it to have no bad Fandom side
Literally every Chikorita fan wants to fuck it. Bayleef was a cancerous waifumon before Gardevoir even existed.
>>29032817
For an evolite tank Tangela is simply better. It is outclassed even its own fucking tier.
>>29032904
>all that Nicobay porn
Is it so much to ask for a Bayleef that isn't that dude's self insert?
>>29033007
>using tangela as an eviolite tank
Dude, Tangela is an eviolie sweeper. Growth + sunny day is amazing.
I want to use both of them in my team, so I can't have two tanks anyway.
>>29033024
Someone should edit all that porn to be a normal Bayleef
I chose Bayleef as a kid because I was a huge fan of The land before time.
I named her Ali, obviously.I eventually realized it was a male. Fuck these ridiculous gender ratios.
>>29033085
I did the same thing in my first run of Crystal. I'm pretty sure I just forgot gender was a thing when I got it.
>>29032904
>literally every realistic depiction of the Chikorita family makes them look like generic, ugly ass dinosaurs, ignoring the actual shape of their bodies and the fact that chikorita doesn't have a snout
>their bodies look rough, wrinkly and ugly
>>29033085
I don't care anymore about that. I just assume that female MACHOKE are gay and male CHIKORITA are tomboys. I treat their genders as some sort of blood type... thing that determines their personality and who they can breed with.
>>29033178
sounds like denial
>>29033026
I always imagined the texture of a real life Chikorita as that of a pear, long before that picture started floating around.
So far, this is the absolute best depiction of a real Chikorita I've ever seen.
>>29033140
Realistic depictions of Pokemon rarely go well. Though for more abstract things like Chikorita, it does get real bad.
I've always seen Bayleef as an edgy pokemon because I loved Totodile, which means that Silver always chose Chikorita.
The fact that Meganium's old sprite was legit scary doesn't help. It's weird, but I think this starter fit his personality a lot more than Typhlosion or Quilava.
I mean, look at this monster. It's a huge, bulky DINOSAUR that can eat you alive if you try to touch any of her little chikoritas. And it doesn't have teeth because it doesn't need them. It's a giant fucking dinosaur. The sheer strength of its jaw can rip off your head.
It looks like a pussy since gen 3, though. It's probably the perspective. The original sprite made it look a lot bigger and its facial expression was badass as fuck. Now it's just a slightly tall dinosaur with a stupid face.
>>29033331
I meant Typhlosion or Feraligatr.
>>29033331
Actually, now that I look at it... I kinda like Meganium. It's not as cute as Bayleef, but it's just as badass and imposing as Venusaur, without being an ugly fatass toad with warts all over his body.
It's a shame that this Meganium doesn't exist anymore, though... I want to replay Crystal now and maaaaybe evolve my Bayleef after the E4.
>>29033331
The expression in that sprite looks super derpy. It's face actually looks normal for a second when it turns its head.
>>29033331
I love the Trapinch head it had in Gold and Crystal
>>29033396
I don't think it looks derpy. It just looks weird because we are not used to seeing Meganium with such a smug expression on her face.
In the official art, her neck is longer, her head is a lot smaller compared to her body and she looks more harmless and friendly in general.
The gen 2 artwork was very similar to this one, so the huge head, shorter neck, smug face and bulky body were probably the result of GBC limitations. But I think it looks a lot better that way. It makes me want to evolve Bayleef, while the intended design is just boring as hell.
>>29033331
I doubt a fruit-dinosaur could have that much strength. I mean, is it even possible to crush someone's head using fruits? I don't know what Meganium is made of, but it's definitely not flesh. Its body is probably as hard as an apple or some other green fruit. They hurt when thrown as projectiles I guess, but apple jaws wouldn't be able to rip a pokemon's head off.
Chikorita is a miracle of the universe.
MMMMMMMMMMMUUUURRRR STAKE!!!!!!!

Only in the anime.

came here to post this
>>29032309
I'm tired of this meme.
Why is this thing so fucking cute?
>>29032971
I believeNidorinawas everyone's waifumon in gen 1.
Guys... Something is seriously wrong with my chikorita. I thought it was evolving, but after a few days it turned orange and stopped moving. What the fuck is going on? It won't move anymore! PLEASE HELP!
Yellow Chikorita is the only reason I play Gold over Crystal. I just looks better.
Does anyone remember this loli from the anime? She had a chikorita.
>>29033810
>Where is this from? The animation looks too modern to be from the Johto season.
