He's a heel so he's supposed to be evil

he's a fucking jobber

Pro wrestling is fake, it's not real fighting, and he'd lose in against a trained fighter

where my marks at

He should have a had a unique HA that gives him a fighting resist and makes his dark attacks supper effective against fighting, called 'Dirty Wrestling' or something. Hopefully he gets some good tutor moves, its hilariously shallow right now though that seems to be a common problem with Alola mons

It's Ken Sugimori. Check his Twitter.

>>30510982

I feel like if he at least gets his HA soon he could be run effectively as a tank with Darkest Lariat and Leech Life alongside a fire move and filler of your choice.

Maybe Assault Vest as the item if you go four attacks.

Heel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)

>In professional wrestling, a heel (also known as a rudo in lucha libre) is a wrestler who is villainous or a "bad guy", who is booked (scripted) by the promotion to be in the position of being an antagonist.[1][2][3] They are typically opposed by their polar opposites, faces, who are the heroic protagonist or "good guy" characters. In American wrestling, it was common for the faces to be American and the heels to be portrayed as foreign (e.g. Bret Hart, The Iron Sheik, Eddie Guerrero, Rusev).

>In order to gain heat (with boos and jeers from the audience), heels are often portrayed as behaving in an immoral manner by breaking rules or otherwise taking advantage of their opponents outside the bounds of the standards of the match. Others do not (or rarely) break rules, but instead exhibit unlikeable, appalling and deliberately offensive and demoralizing personality traits such as arrogance, cowardice or contempt for the audience. Many heels do both, cheating as well as behaving nastily. No matter the type of heel, the most important job is that of the antagonist role. Heels exist to provide a foil to the face wrestlers. If a given heel is cheered over the face, a promoter may opt to turn that heel to face or vice versa, or to make the wrestler do something even more despicable to encourage heel heat.

>In the world of lucha libre wrestling, heels are generally known for being brawlers and for using physical moves that emphasize brute strength or size, often having outfits akin to demons, devils, or other tricksters. This is contrasted with the heroic técnicos that are generally known for using moves requiring technical skill, particularly aerial maneuvers.

Dark-types are the heels (bad guys), Fighting-types are the faces (good guys). That's why Fighting is SE against Dark. It's the noble, honorable fighters triumphing over the ones who fight dirty.

t. mandrama fan

>>30511636
Thats what I'm planning on running for him, he is legit pretty bulky. I fucking hate how wasted that 80 sp attack is though, they could have at least went all in and given him base 100+ defenses. Seems like they always have the starters have at least usable attack and sp attack. They all have at least 70 base

>>30510866
Not Kurt Angle

>>30511822

I think that's GF's intent. I'm just pleasantly surprised Incineroar is at least passably tanky depending on various viewpoints.

If he gets Drain Punch tutoring in future games then between that, Flare Blitz, Dark Lariat and Leech Life I really think he's going to be great tank-wise. Anything else is just gravy to me by then.

>>30510758

Are you serious?

Gamefreak didn't want to get shit on for having ANOTHER fighting/fire starter

The cats based off of the greatest Japanese wrestler ever. He's probably going to get dumb amounts of support

>>30510758
Because they didn't want to make ANOTHER FIRE/FIGHTING STARTER

>>30511822
I think it's great the Fire typing neutralizes two of the major threats for dark types: Fairy and Bug.

>>30510758
Wrestlers aren't real fighters, they're just fucking imposters and would get obliterated by anyone who seriously practices martial arts, therefore they have to be weak to fighting type, It's simple anon

>>30511822
The idea is that even if you are six, your starter can clutch your way to the endgame.
Even if you only taught it Fire Blast, Blast Burn, Fire Pledge and Flamethrower

Yeah that makes sense, still disappointing so many points are wasted from a competitive standpoint. Kids will just overlevel to the point base stats don't matter anyways. Same thing goes for blaze/overgrow/torrent. Though greninja getting a third ability may open them up giving other starters some love.
>>30512101
The new prankster immunity is nice as well. Honestly, prankster could have fit as a hidden ability as well from a flavor standpoint. Heel wrestler using taunts and underhanded tricks etc

Heel fighters always lose to faces

He's the bad guy wrestler. The bird had no specific alignment.

Bad=Evil and in the Japanese version of the game, which is what the devs originally make it in, Dark= evil.

If he lost his fire type he would probably be dark / fighting.

>>30512270
Thanks Cena!

>>30512307
doesn't the website say that incineroar adore children & smaller pokemon cheering it on? also the not picking on weaker opponents thing

>>30512256
>greninja getting a third ability
Greninja got an entirely new form with Battle Bond in all three Ability slots. Regular Greninja still has two distinct Abilities. It's... really weird. It doesn't work like any other Pokemon with different Abilities bar Zygarde. I doubt they'll ever do anything like it for a starter again.

Gen 4 was a mistake

>>30511974
Fuck man that's the only reason why I want a new game asap. Drain Punch, Superpower, Thunder Punch, Zen Headbutt, Iron Tail, Knock off, A FUCKING GUNK SHOT AND SUCKER PUNCH? It'd make it Pangoro of gen 7. Also they could fix its movepool a bit by giving it Morning Sun as an egg move, Poison Jab as an tm move (pretty sure the only reason they didn't give him that is so it can't beat Primarina) and Flying Press because they say fuck it with every signature move eventually. I mean they gave Crunch to Gyarados, Boomburst to Swellow and gave Kalos starters signature moves away to some random mons in ORAS. If Kanto remake/postgame is coming maybe they're going to distribute Sotboiled much wider.
God fucking damn it I'm happy that my bro isn't a shitmon but I really hope they improve it

Luchador and "wrestling" are different. A luchador is a warrior. A Pro-Wrassler is an actor. Actor is a respectable art form laden with deceit, to be an actor is to decieve. To be deceitful is evil. General fears, malice and sins fall under the dark type. Think goku and hercule. Hercule is still an athlete, but a dark type athlete, beat out everytime by the fighting type Z-warriors.

What names did you lads pick for your firecats?

I love the fact that despite what the actual type is, GF modeled this pokemon in a fighting type style. Its just a clever way of making it fighting without making it fighting. Wrestling is nothing but physical fucking combat, something this pokemon and every pokemon fighting type is designed in mind with. It doesn't matter if its fire/dark. Torracat could of evolved into a regular fire/dark cat all along, but it SPECIFICALLY took a evolution look similar to fighting types and conviently being a mon specifically supposed to lose to fighting types through their own fughting craft i.e. wrestling. GF did this on purpose you dipshits.

But that's not The Great Sasuke, defeater of justice systems, JAV copycats, and aliens.

>>30516905
>On February 19, 2009, Sasuke was arrested for assault after kicking a 36-year-old man and grabbing him by the shirt collar. Sasuke was reported to be angry because his picture was being taken with a cellphone camera. The incident happened on a JR Joban Line train at Minamisenju Station. However, all charges were dropped and was released from jail on February 21, after serving 40 hours in jail, after Sasuke apologized to the man.The man who took Sasuke's photograph was said to not have known who he was and thought he was just some crazy person wearing a mask in public.

It's a heel wrestler. The typing makes more sense with the Japanese name for Fighting being Hero type. Basically, the hero has an advantage against the heel in pro wrestling on tv.

Incineroar is only a heel in terms of how violent, reckless, and self-centered it is (on the surface). Not because it's a "fake fighter"
