>There is a legend that says Kommo-o is covered in glittering scales in order to drive away a great darkness covering the world. The reason these Pokémon seek out battle is to gain the power needed to defeat this darkness.
People will still deny fighting types as a heroic type

You posted a pic that proves the contrary.
Throh and Sawk are based on the red and blue oni of Japanese folklore.

Because Primeape, Scrafty, Pangoro, Toxigunk, Luchalitten, and Bewear are such great heroes, right?
>>29127847
>Scrafty
part dark
>Pangoro
hates bullies
>Luchalitten
typing not confirmed
you tried
>>29127079
That's okay though, because Gen 5 tried to make a lot of parallels to Gen 1, and Red and Blue were references themselves to the Red and Blue oni from Japanese folklore.
>>29128989
It's interesting that you mention "parallels", as that term is based on the red and blue oni from Japanese folklore.
>>29129960
Funny you should mention the red and blue oni from Japanese folklore, did you know that they're the inspiration for the red and blue oni from Japanese folklore?
>>29126974
some Fighting types are definitely hero inspired.
some Fighting types are just want to get swole.
some Fighting types are turbo violent
Pokemon isn't just one thing.
>>29130124
This. However, virtually every Pokemon can be traced back to the Red and Blue oni from Japanese folklore.
>>29126974
What I want to know is if it's true that Bug types are effective against dark types because there are many bug-based superheroes in Japan.
>>29130697
Yes. It's also why Fighting and Bug resist each other, they're on the same side.
>>29130697
>>29130736
Yeah, insects are associated with superheroes in Japan. AFAIK, it's related to beetle fighting.
>>29130784
which also traces back to the red and blue oni from Japanese folklore
They can be heroic, or they can also just be very strong and skilled. Why must you people always think in absolutes?
It's just like Dark types, you always argue if it represents "Underhanded" or "Evil", without realizing it can represent both.

>Still no Kamen rider like Bug/Fight type pokemon
>Heroic justice bugs
>Blue Oni, Red Oni
Reminded me of these two.
>The calm one
>The not so calm one
>Both heroic
>>29131598
Ledian is evolving!
>>29131435
That means Heracross is the ultimate hero.

>red and blue oni of Japanese folklore.
Wasn't this a meme a while back?
Pick 5 fighting and/or bug types to make a super sentai-like team.
>bugfags ALWAYS making any thread about them
