Well, he's not that bad in the game, but fuck, in the manga it a whole other thing

>>30845182
In every single fucking gen the protag character has no dad but always a mom at home, where are the dads? Are they hiding from their women?

>>30845284
Working their asses off to provide so you can run off on your silly adventure

>>30845182
>Good dads
>in pokemon

>>30845299

There are some good dads, like pic related
And Meowth in SM

>>30845323
>spin off dads

>>30845323
Wait so Meowth is your dad in SM?
It make sense since we come from Kanto and dad is confirmed to be Bill's family

>>30845323

Pops is best dad

>>30845266
He's hot, he can do whatever

>>30845266
>uses the most vanilla type
>is always away from home despite living a few towns away in a world wherr you can fly totally unrestricted
>made you and your mom move to a new region because he wasn't good enough to be a gym leader in Johto.

Norman shouldn't have even bothered. What a total failure.

>>30845182
Don't forget Guzma's dad

>>30845182
The worst dad is Norman, he moves to Hoenn because he couldn't even take the Normal Title from a kid Whitney

I think we're talking in terms of how good of a parent they are, not their battling prowess. Besides, Norman puts up a decent fight.

Is this some sort of a curse a pokemon we never knew puts on the dad of any couple once they have kids?

>>30847180
I was mainly joking around, the evil team bosses are all worse dads
