Which Pokermans are you all the most emotionally attached to?
Who's your guy?
Not necessarily your most effective, but the one you just like the most generally?
The Pikachu to your Red.
If they were real, this little cunt would be hanging off of me constantly, like a backpack.
I am blaziken man
Initially I hated the FUCK out of this thing.
But all the fanart - or rather, the right pieces of it - had me less enraged and more in cutesy awe.
This piece right here was the one that gave it a spot in my heart. Anyone know who drew it?
>>29880556
This mushroom has never once disappointed me.
This guy RIGHT HERE. He tore through XD GoD for me. It's simple, it has a good Attack stat, and a full power return from this guy HURTS.
I guess it'd be this or Bewear. Bewear especially because it just wants a hug. But as for the most emotional attachment, these things are at the top.
This guy right here.
>>29880556
I'm Cynthia. Garchomp is my bff
It helps if your guy is tinier.
Because then you can participate in the old Pokemon trope of them sitting on your shoulder while you go about your business.
cliche, but zard
8 year old me was in love the moment he saw that boxart
None. I like a lot of pokémon, not only one.
Mawile
Tough one. Out of all my nuzlocke teams, my ace is most definitely my Sigilyph, Psyclops. Kind of spacey personality-wise, but deadly powerful. My Infernape, Rita, is a close second though.
But to own irl...a toss up between these two; Jiji the shiny Umbreon, and Vash the shiny Flareon.
>>29880556
Aipom
>>29880556
I have three. My Blaziken who is from my first game of ruby, my Greninja named Geoffery, and my shiny Kingler named Krabbels.
>>29880556
Good taste
>>29880556
>Constantly need to break into jewelry stores to keep your pet fed and happy
same tho
>>29880556
Dinosaurs helped me overcome my speech problems when I was young.
So when Pokemon introduced a dinosaur pokemon (DPP came out when I was 9), I had to have it.
But its nature sucks ass. So I just leave it in the box.
>>29880747
what set do you use? i used a full attack & hp set with flame orb & guts, play rough, facade, close combat & i think either crunch or nigh slash, probably the former
>>29880556
Now days it's definitely Mawile
Wasn't always, but I did always like Mawile's design.
Just didn't like having a partner poke that I couldn't take into competitive.
Dodrio, it kinda reminds me of myself.
>inb4 multi personality disorder
He's such a bro and few people realize how much of a bro he is
smug bro
>and IIIIIIIIIIII.....will always love youuuuuuu
Mah main bitch!
Used it in every game its been available in since the beginning. Tried not using one time, and it still ended up on my team somehow
>>29880556

Kricketune's dawn is approaching.
I really like Edgebird
>>29881494
I, for one, welcome my new mexican cricket overlords
>>29881453
Will you be using it then? This Gen?
>>29881461
Same here

>REALLY REALLY FAST
>evolves by being your friend
>>29881582
If it's available they should
it outspeeds everything else without Chlorophyll (more like bore-ophyll...right?)
He's so cool looking
Shame he's a shitmon
I recently played through White for the first time, and, despite some setbacks, (I was 6 levels underleveled against Ghetsis FUCK Hydreigon and 4 levels under for the elite 4) he ended up carrying my ass through the E4 rematch and sweeping 3/4 of them and then KOing Alder's Volcarona with a crit earthquake. I also would like to nominate Blaziken as my second favorite since he kicked ass in the OG gen 3 games, and came back with a badass mega.
Torterra and staraptor
>start playing pokemon pearl
>only use turtwig and starly throught all the game
>everything else on my team is cannon fodder or hm slaves
>literally beat the cynthia with only those two and the cannon fodder
and that also reminds me, during bw2 torterra beat the elite 4 and the champion rematch in a solo run, although it was level 100 already but still it was pretty cool beat them all with 1 pokemon
>>29880556
He is, dare I say it, /myguy/
Probably a weird answer for some, but Palkia is ma man
>>29880556
Surprisingly tough choice. Eevee is my go-to option without a doubt, but as I think about it I can't help but mention Nidoqueen. In my SS nuzlocke, my Nidoqueen, Queen, was such a valuable teammate, so it was heartbreaking when she got bodied in Clair's gym.
I'm a huge fan of Psychic-types and Gardevoir captures their refined feel really well. As a Fairy-type Gardevoir, while once an inferior Alakazam in battle, can now hold off many of the Dark-types which are very harmful to most Psychic-types. Technically Slowbro and Bronzong have been among my favorites for longer but Gardevoir's various dex entries suddenly made it shine to me.
It's not a waifu thing, I swear.
>>29880556
Well I would spend most of my time on a boat with my bro Gyarados. I would be a wayer type trainer
This baby right here. I remember playing Emerald's (my first videogame ever) Factory Battle Frontier trying to get a Meganium because i saw it once on the internet and was SO FUCKING IN LOVE with this little baby.
>>29881780
Could it be?!
No matter how shit it is it has been my favorite since since gen 1, eternal favorite pokemon. All I hope for us a day where it is able to find some use in more serious play. Until then I at least have the main story to use it.
Even though it's mega was kind of a mess Sharpedo will always be on my team
Any of the big bear Pokemon. Probably Ursaring or Bewear though.
>Which Pokermans are you all the most emotionally attached to?
None, considering they don't exist.
Stoutland is my husbando
>>29881978
you don't exist
a husk
an empty shell
an edgy contrarian
>>29880556
Togekiss. Figured out the paraflinch combo myself and beat every friends of mine using it before I discovered competitive battling.
I'm also very attached to Empoleon and Darkrai. Empoleon because it was my first started and Darkrai because it was OP as fuck with it's dark void when I was a kid.
>>29882057
I'm speaking to you right now, I clearly exist.
Pokemon do not, and will not ever exist as entities outside of our imagination.
Developing an emotional connection to something that doesn't even exist is pathetic, and the basis for why religion is still prevalent today.
Plato identified imagination as the lowest form of intelligence. If you seek emotional connections, foster them in real life with actual people or animals.
>>29881156
> Kind of spacey personality-wise, but deadly powerful.
Are you fucking autistic? Legit asking.
My first Pokémon game (and one of my first games ever, because my parents were one of those "vidya games will rot yer brain" types and didnt ease up on that until i was ten) was Explorers of Time. When I had just got that game I was kind of going through a penguin phase, so I was really hoping that I would end up as a piplup (which I knew about from TV ads from Cartoon Network). Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that I wasn't a Piplup at all, and was instead a piece of shit monkey. I didn't consider resetting the game for a different result, as I thought that the game's test was 100% accurate and that it would be lame to answer the quiz dishonestly, plus I felt that the nature of "Naive" suited me, even if I didn't want to admit it. So I decided to set Piplup as my partner instead as a compromise.
What I didn't expect was for Chimchar to grow on me so much while I played. I soon discovered that monkeys were cool in their own right, and man, was that ember move STRONG!
A year or so later I picked up Pearl as my first "real" game, and played it using Chimchar, but this time by choice. I barely used anything else aside from him, and I believe he was fully evolved right before I entered solaceon town. I also fondly remember OHKOing Wake's entire team with fire type moves (I knew very well how stupid this was, I was just doing it to see if I could).
He's been my bro ever since, I just wish I could find the White version that I transferred him to. If my math is correct, he should be about eight years old now.
>>29880556
This nuclear badger motherfucker, only pokeyman I've ever bothered leveling to 100Too bad its ultimately a mediocre mono fire type with copypasted Charizard stats
>>29882160
*tips fedora*
Im surprised anyone on this whiny mistake of a board can like anything its always bitching about stats like a tierfag with you cunts or muh battle frontier
>>29882324
quality contribution
who's your bro?
>>29881978
Ok.
>>29881353
>>29881739
>>29881758
Great taste.
This is my bro. Favorite design, awesome cry, and (admittedly barely) usable utility with eviolite. Salazzle is ok, but not on the same level.
>>29880556
Probably the Wynaut that hatches from the egg you get in Lavaridge town, considering I kept it in my team him even if using it made the game considerably more tedious.
>>29882324
>he says, while complaining about complainers and not contributing to the thread.
>>29880556
Hitmonlee. I have one named Bruce that's been with me since gen 3
I love this guy so much
This guy right here. Everyone's favorite troll sheep. He's cute as fuck, a great utility mon, and is here to ruin your fucking day.
>Design is fucking flawless. Seriously I could go on and on about it.
>Easy enough to aquire in-game.
>Its bulk is amazing. I can pretty much always rely on Umbreon to not go down without a fight.
>>29881758
>>29882017
These two in Gen V. I was already excited for a new crocodile mon but I really hated lillipup pre release.
Fell in love with Doggo soon after release. These two combined kicked so much ass
>>29882543
Same here man. Gonna play through sun with a male one because Salazzle is just fur bait
I usually have that 1 best pokemon with each gen that I keep and transfer over when the next comes out (ex: Lopunny for gen 4, Tyrantrum for gen 6) But my hands down bro of all time is Sawk.
>BW in japanese came out, got to the normal gym
>might as well go get a fighting type. lets get a Sawk, Throh looks stupid and has a low encounter rate anyways
>Eh fighting types suck ill drop him after this fight
>Sawk then begins to kick and steamroll the shit out of everything in his path in 2-3 hits
>oh fuck nevermind you're staying in the team
>Get to the end and fight Ghetis, his Hydreigon kicking my ass and wiping my whole team as i went into the game blind and in moonrunes
>all that's left is sawk
>Double Kicks Hydreigon and kills it due to dat speed + attack
10/10 bro. I even have a competitive glass cannon set with him as well.
>great coverage and instant recovery
>fuckton of bulk with eviolite
>one weakness, one immunity
>gets magic coat to reflect nasty stuff
>copies the opponents' abilities
>will delete the porn from your computer after you die
my bro even before gen v
>>29882205
She has a naive nature and 'often lost in thought' characteristic. Deadly in the sense that she wiped out Champion Iris' team single-handedly. There were many points throughout my Black 2 nuzlocke where it was just her and my Volcarona, Quinn. Came very close to wiping many, many times.
>>29884595
But you still are autistic, right
>>29885018
Why does that even matter?
>>29885040
it doesn't, he was just asking a question. Answer it or don't. but then again, you probably don't grasp the concept of interaction.
>>29885131
I fully understand the concept of interaction; that's what were fucking doing right now. I just don't see the relevancy of having autism or not on a thread about favorite Pokemon we'd love to have irl.
Look at this HUGE motherfucker.
he swole.
>>29885213
To see whether the preference of autists is significantly different from non-autists
pretty interesting if you ask me
I don't even care that he's good competitively, it's about my inner six year old digging a shark dragon combo.
>>29880757
you guys are going to get shit on by this
Have one from my first playthrough of Fire Red. He's still on Heart Gold though. God, I fucked people up with him and metronome always worked in my favor.
Been my favorite since I saw the episode with Ash's Primeampe and the one where Mankey ate "donuts"
>>29881264
Not him but
Brave Guts Flame Orb
Facade
Hammer Arm
Crunch
Protect
I use one on my Trick room team in doubles, and almost always lead with it and a setter. Facade hitting neutral is stronger than SE hammer arm so only use it on things that resist it. Crunch is reserved for ghosts.
>>29880556
I love Sableye as a shouldermon.
But I want to hug Bisharp.
I had only played Pokemon Blue. As a kid, my parents wouldn't get me the newer generations, because I already had Pokemon, so eventually I fell out of the series.
After X and Y had been out for a few months, a friend talked me into trying them out, said that I'd love it. And the idea of discovering over 600 new Pokemon was exciting, so I picked up a copy.
Game was fun, about what I expected from a Pokemon experience. When I finished, my friend asked if I wanted to learn how to breed, and gave the the reasons why people did. Sure, sounds fun. So using my starter, he walks me through the breeding process with a 6iv ditto he sends me. Goes through natures, evs, ivs, the whole shebang.
After learning the ins and outs, he says I should pick the next one I'd like to make. Looking through a list of over 700 monsters, once I saw Weavile, I knew that this was the one I wanted. Didn't know it's type yet, it's movepool, or if it was even any good, but I fell in love and wanted one.
I still love the little bugger to this day.
>>29884519
my nigga
>>29880556
I don't know why i like pachirisu so much, I just do.
>>29880556
I like this thing
>>29880757
>>29885793
My niggas!
>>29881213
Not as bad as having to make children cry and taking them to the spirit world.
>>29885389
Yeah no. Irrelevant.
>>29885389
So then what's your favorite Pokemon you'd love to have irl, buttmunch?
>>29881461
>>29882160
Here's your (You).
Mewtwo
>Obsessed with first movie as a kid
>Favourite pet as a kid was a white cat.
>Last name begins with M so his name and my love of catching him with a master ball are double fitting.
>>29880556
Love at first sight ever since the Dennis fight. Always, always, always made room forheron every team I've had since Gen V.
>>29883024
Me too. Love this guy
exeggutor is my favorite Pokemon of all. a three headed palm tree and all the heads are bro status? that's my shit right there.
>>29886920
>>29886955
I already gave my non-autistic vote.
Now it's time for you two to participate on the other side.
We've been through a lot together.
Argh, it's hard to pick. There are a few I like quite a lot, but none that I'd pick over the others as my one true bro forever over the others.
>>29882160
That's one way to put it. But if you can't develop a connection, why do people keep playing it? We're not robots. It's just a favorite pokemon, doesn't mean lack of real-life connections. Chill
>>29885357
Good fcking taste. My second favorite right there
For me it's Sneasel. I like cats and weasel plus I love the cold and snow. Weavile is great too but something about Sneasel makes me like them more. Gliscor is up there too.
>>29880556
Dunsparce, even as a kid I knew it was mostly useless. I never saw anyone acknowledge its existence, and in every Pokemon game it just kind of existed with no purpose. But as a kid I looked at Dunsparce in my pokedex and made a pledge to never forget Dunsparce's existence, and that's how this little guy became my bro.
One day he'll get an evolution, but hey dragon rush and air slash are cool for now.
