Why is he the most popular alola starter?

>>31428538
Incredibly low competition

>>31428538
No one even talks about him anymore though

>>31428548
Honestly, this. I do like Decidueye, but none of the Alola starters really stand out. Not like Greninja did during Gen 6.

>>31428538
because he's the safe middle ground between two extremes.

Incineroar is furry bait
Primarina is waifu bait

easy choice, plus he's cool

Because Incineroar is ugly as sin and a huge disappointment, and Primarina is girly.

Normies

>>31428538
Litten and Rowlet were the cutest but Rowlet was cuter. Also Incineroar moves are such a disappointment

>>31428538

Vocal raging furfag minorities taking their barashit into refresh to touch its crotch do not count as """""""evidence""""""" of anything except that furfaggots are degenerate trash with shit taste.

>>31428673
Face it. Incineroar is the most popular, especially in Japan. Rowlet may be more popular than him, but not Decidueye. Also Primarina is the best in singles and Incineroar is the best in Doubles, Deci has a good design - all three of the starters do - but that's about it.

>>31428762
Example B

>>31428762
prove Decidueye is "popular" among fans
Pro-tip: you could be right

>>31428538
Is a good looking pokemon but its stats are lame, maybe people want GF to give it a better treatment to this fucking no bird.

>>31428884
GF need to increase Decidueye's speed by 40. No other changes to its BST, just +40 speed. Then Decidueye will be viable as it deserves to be.

And no, the other starters don't get increases to their stats because they don't deserve buffs.

I picked it when I found out it shoots arrows.

>>31428919
but Tony the Tiger need more attention too

>>31428645
Grass/ghost is more common than fairy/water or dark/fire though.

>>31428919
>obvious Deciducuck

but these guys really do need buffs

+10 speed for Incineroar and Decidueye, +10 defense for primarina

>>31428959
No. Fuck Incineroar. Decidueye is the only one who deserves attention.

>>31428971
how can a guy be this defensive about hawkowl, you literally are why no one likes deciducucks

Just give Primarina Boomburst, she will become a monster. Knock Off, Sucker Punch or Superpower for Incineroar and WoW for Decidueye would also be really cool.

But Incineroar is the first and only final evolution (so far) that had a stat decrease. Everything other starter either had a stat that stayed the same or a slight increase. It could've been the fast starter of gen 7, but they ended up cucking him into lower speed tiers ;_;

>>31428538
Because BAVI

The cool archer aesthetic is more universally liked than a wrestler or a siren.

>>31428538
It has general, wide ranging appeal and a nice design. Primarina is very feminine which not everyone is going to like. Incineroar is contentions because it's another bipedal fighter Fire starter and some people don't like how humanoid the design is.

>>31429354

Cat is by far the best in Doubles. Primarina seems way more usage in UU than Decidueye. If you are talking about OU it doesn't really makes sense since none of the starters are really good enough for that unless you are playing for fun or something

>>31428538

Incineroar and Primarina have bad desings. Decidueye has an ok, not great, design.

Why do you idiots constantly give blatant shitposters the attention they crave?

>>31429526
It can't really do multiple things. The only thing he's not outclassed at is Baton Pass, and that's banned in UU.

>>31429623

Incineroar goes from quadruped to bipedal and humanoid goes from feline body to human body with cat face, and resembles greatly in a monotonous way the fire fighting starters.

primarina is over designed (the star, the cloth parts), and too feminine looking for a mainly male pokemon.
even if it were a 100% female species, the design isnt very good, it is a seal with long hair, kinda like mega ampharos.

decidueye isnt great either, because he doesnt look like a ghost, but its a better design than the others.

this gen has benchable starters. alolan muk in the first city you visit is better than all of them.

>>31429727

Give it about two weeks Or months. Trust me it will turn back to decidueye.

i think the cats more popular

and i picked Popplio

too slow. waste of a good design

I boxed him

>>31428538
It's the safest, most widely appealing design.

Incineroar and Primarina are pretty good, but their designs cater to more specific audiences. Decidueye just has a wider reach.

>>31429866
Good job, samefag. Almost fooled me.

>>31428803
Wrong again furry. Decidueye is more popular then incineraoar. The only reason why you see him in refresh is because of the stats in game. Since people figured out that they ruined decidueye's stats, they don't use him completely. Thus not hatching rowlet eggs. But since catfags discovered that their cat is good competitively, they took this opportunity to hatch and after hating/probably hacking a lot of littens they fully evolved it used refresh a lot and make the cat stand out In game as much as they can. Notice in the top ten regionals team there was an incineraoar. That right there was a furrfag.
The owl people are to busy with smogon to notice this.
Overall the catfags are trying really hard to make there shit cat stand out.

Good design but very slow, what can I do to make it move faster?

Catfags and sealfags get out because this is obviously a containment thread for owl friends to circlejerk in.

>>31428803
And also I got a friends that's in are Japanese. I told three of them to make some poles on the alola starters final evolutions. (This started at like the end of 2016. And today two of the results came back and guess who's still on top. Decidueye. In won off the poles primarina is in second place. And on the other she's just one point behind incineraoar. And you still think he's popular in Japan. People like tiger masked wrestler but they do not like incineraoar, and the only reason why incineraoar is still being mentioned is because of litten.

>>31428538
Primarina is too girly so she never stood a chance
Incineroar is too humanoid

Decidueye is an easy choice if you want a monster that actually looks like a monster

Owlposting should be a bannable offense

i'd take Incineroar's fanbase any day over Decidueye's. Owlfags in here are pure cancer, just look at them.

>>31433447
you can't rub incineroar's cock in refresh and he can be female too

It's all ordered with the listings ordered by assuming you chose Rowlet, but it's particularly interesting to note that Ilima's battle at the Marina, Kukui's inauguration, and Gladion's battle on Mount Lanakila (assuming you chose Rowlet) are placed far before their other teams rather than right next to them.

Kukui's first Incineroar team, Ilima's Smeargle with Ember, and Gladion's first Fire-type Silvally appear far earlier on the list than their Water and Grass variations.

>>31433551

I did, he's the most favorite again.

Honestly, I'm not surprised because there's this thing that began as early as gen 1 in that everyone almost picks Fire type starters because they just assume it's the strongest of the bunch.

Being a Fire fag that occasionally interchanges with Grass starters, I can't say Incineroar was one of my picks. It wasn't really a matter of who's strongest but which design I preferred this time and Decidueye got lucky to be picked over him because I don't really find Incineroar all that interesting.

dunno why dont you ask him

if you're now debating who the canon choice of starter is, it's Decidueye

because kukui is supposed to have inceneroar. he's a wrestler.

but just because he's the canon choice doesn't mean he's the best starter

977KB, 1280x557px

>>31433664
>This maymay again

I'm of the opinion that Incineroar looks best on Kukui aesthetically, but to claim that it's canon because "muh wrestler" is absurd.

Kukui doesn't even use the starter as The Masked Royal. He swaps it out for Crabominable. And Midnight Lycanroc is clearly his wrestling partner.

Aside from Rowlet being the most popular starter? Primarina is too feminine and Incineroar is too over the top and anthromorphic for some. Decidueye has more of a standard 'cool' design, and chances are Nintendo has noticed Rowlet's popularity and is going to shill it a lot more, though it'll still possibly be out-promoted by Incineroar. Primarina is a non-issue there because GF actively hates it.

>>31433693
he clearly doesn't use his favorite pokemon on his wrestling team because that would give it all away.

keep in mind the starter is the one with the Z move, so it clearly has emphasis placed on it.

>>31433664
Eh...I prefer hau with the cat. They just work so well together.

I will say bonus points for kukui's primarina for ALWAYS being female. shit's hilarious

>>31433734
>flashy heel wrestler
>laid back happy-go-lucky glutton
what exactly works so well here

>>31433734
his primarina is always male. his nintetales is always female

>>31433708
Ah yes Kukui the master of subtlety and deception has clearly covered his tracks very carefully

>>31433748
It's not that hard anon. Both have upbeat personalities and hau would easily find incinerator showboating cool to look at.

>>31433754
Every time I've seen Kukui with a Primarina it's been female.

>>31433756

>>31433754
Both are always female.

>>31433765
then update bulbapedia to reflect this

>>31433777
I'm not because I don't know for sure that it's always female, just that it's been female when I've seen it in places. At the very least we know it can be female.

The poll number for pokemon English twitter is about 40k while the japan is about 8k.
Rowlet wins in the pokemon English twitter.

In the japan official sun moon website, Decidueye got 500 shares on social media while tiger and seal got about 300 plus each

I really don't want Decidueye to be shilled, because shilling made me go from like to dislike towards Greninja once he got THAT form. I still prefer Greninja's original look honestly.

samurrot legit looks retarded tho

>>31434272
Sorry that people don't like otters that turn into constipated seals while gaining magically growing leg swords.

>>31434272
The complaints were essentially directed to a line suddenly going from bipedal to quadrupedal and vice-versa without a clear reason.

>>31434285

Definitely not as much controversy as overseas, that's for sure.

>>31434084
To be honest they already started shielding rowlet. It's got two signature moves, a spot in ash's team. A mysterious ghost typing that made everyone change there minds about there choice of starter, there is no doubt that a new smash bros is coming on switch and there's no secret that decidueye will be in it. But I don't see ash's getting some kind of bootleg grass ash's greninja, known as ash- decidueye. As much as all rowlet fans secretly want to see that, be honest, it's kinda bullshit if it happens.

>>31434754
>As much as all rowlet fans secretly want to see that, be honest, it's kinda bullshit if it happens.
>implying anyone wants jobfrog 2.0

We already know it's never happening anyway because ash-grenigger is a glorified mega and megas are last gen's gimmick. This time around the anime is going to be shilling exclusive Z-moves/crystals (Pikachu alone has two, one of which is event exclusive and can only be used by Ash-Pikachu)

>>31433369
>le evolution should just be it gets bigger maymay xDDDD
Shut the fuck up about this already. It would be really refreshing to see a quadruped fire starter than having another shitty bipedal fursuit.

>>31433989
Kek.

>>31435086
High UU, remember

To be honest I'm totally okay with incineraoar and primarina being higher in the meta. Mostly because I don't care too much about the meta, once bank comes out it's going to be nothing but lando-t and, koko's, porygon2, and celeasteelas running around. And in my opinion seeing decidueye in smash, ( and maybe even pokken) and ash having a op decidueye in the anime is satisfying anouth.

>>31434754
>No secret that decidueye is in the switch smash

Really?! Cuz I definitely didn't know!!

>>31434109
Damn, they really fucked up Incineroar's design didn't they?

>>31435086
>>31435126
Besides. UU is the old OU and OU is now Ubers lite

Because it's the only one that isn't hyper-macho or hyper-girly, both of which have limited appeal.

>>31428538
Cute birb.
Arrow quills are great.

>>31435528
Aren't opinions magical? Besides ghost isn't that outlandish since owls are stealthy flyers of the night...and grass/flying being would have been suicide.

>>31435253
Ash's Rowlett is probably about to get wrecked by Alan's Charizard.

>>31435437
Decidueye is hyper-tryhard and hyper-awkward.

>>31435551
Considering the meta it probably would've fared better defensively if it WAS Grass/Flying type.

>>31435603
>Decidueye is hyper-tryhard and hyper-awkward.

Yeah. Decidueye is popular, but I doubt we'll ever get a starter with Greninja-tier of popularity again. His poll had him at 59%, which according to statistics the highest choice of starter since Charizard. Who knows though. Maybe in another 20 years well get one of those again.

Yes. And it's a shame, since this is one of the best trio we've ever gotten. It's impossible to discuss about them without the thread completely derailing

>>31434143
Even though Incineroar is Fire/Dark, it's design is still in the same spirit as the Firefighter meme GF was high on for three gens, so people were turned off

Very true. This post was actually from one of those said derailed threads.
