sasuga gamefreak
Those people hold factual opinions and any contrary opinion otherwise is pure faggotry
>>31477830
>another underage who doesn't know that Typhlosion has been like that since day 1
Literally nothing but the main games ever depicted Typhlosion with its flames always activate. 3D games, the anime, they all showed it only activating its flames when it's attacking or angry.
>there are people on /vp/ right now who unironically think this dorito is a good design
>>31477873
so why does Mega Charizard X gets to keep its flames?
Because without it wouldn't look cool and GF knows that. It's just that they don't care about Typhlosion.

>factual opinions
>literal charizard stats
>no niche
>no secondary stab
>boring design that just gets bigger without clear concept of significant development in any aspect rather than size
>flames aren't even on all the time to at least salvage it a little bit
>>31477913
because charizard doesnt activate flames when its atacking, like rapidash
>>31477913
Because Charizard's flames are part of its physiology, Typhlosion's are not.
>>31477873
This was day 1 Typhlosion
>>31477980
and this day 1 Hippowdon, your point?
>>31477941
>>no niche
it's one and only niche is Scarf Eruption desu
it also has Scarf Burn Up, which is stronger and more accurate than Fire Blast and the same strength as and more accurate than Overheat
>>31478022
>scarf fire move is a niche
Yeah, nobody else could pull off a comparative fast powerful fire attack
>>31477813
What do you think he smells like?
>>31478089
that's what i'm saying
the only pokemon that is meets/exceeds Scarf Typhlosion in speed AND in special attack power are Mega Blaziken after a speed boost, Volcarona after a Quiver Dance, andScarf Salazzle, but none of those get Burn Up or Eruption
"Small niche" and "No niche" will never be interchangeable no matter how hard you shitpost, faggot. Deal with it.
>>31477941
>boring design that just gets bigger without clear concept of significant development in any aspect rather than size
And yet these are the designs that usually don't end up looking like cluttered trash or round blobs. Like Typhlosion.
>>31477813
It's a non-anthro sergal.
>>31478180
Heatran- Typhlosoon but better in every single way says hi
>>31478180
You're right. Typhlosion does have a pretty nice niche as a fire spammer...in NU. Retards like you brought it up to RU in ORAS, where it was left to rot because no good players used it because it's bad but it was stuck in RU because some morons did. Also, scarf burn up is dumb, because you lose your fire typing after the first BU, and BU fails if the pokemon using it isn't fire type. You may as well use scarf slaking at that point.

>He wants the flames to be permanent
How would you be able to sleep on his back or ride him around then ?
there are plenty of doritoes I think are well-designed. typhlosion included.
>>31477813
>simple
>realistically animal/natural
plus it kind of looks like a ferret and mustelidae are my favorite mammals
>>31477980
>Crystal
>day 1
In any case the dex entries for the entire line say otherwise.
>>31479614
You get it, Typhlosion is a nice smooth and streamlined bodied Poke.
Btw, why hate on it anyway when it is already an outclassed Poke like Flygon?
>>31477813
You guys make me sad I love this mon. I use him , he's great. Maybe you guys just don't know how to pokemon??
>>31478156
Cinnamon
>>31479703
Oh yeah he's pretty great.
In game where nothing matters.
Everywhere else it's literally trash tier or rather the meganium of fire starters.
>>31477913
Because Mega Charizard X is a Mega Evolution and the constant flames represent a continual overflow of power, which is what Megas are.
Plus the entire Char line has flames on its tail tied to its vitality so that's a dumb point to make.
>>31479770
what about ponyta and moltres and magmar and geoffrey and monferno and marowak then?
