No joke, if she dyed this sinfully ugly fuck's piss-yellow moptop pink whenever she presumably dyed her hair pink it'd actually be a frighteningly spot on color scheme match.

>>31524556
>a fucking palette swap makes a gym-leader a special snowflake donut steel

I bet felt the ball Seals and their effects made people special snowflakes.

>>31524165
that said:
>Brock - Aerodactyl (with Wing Attack, Thunder Fang, and Rock Tomb)
Meant to fit that in some iterations he's got an interest in paleontology (I'd go with a rock fighting but only a legendary has that pairing) and also loaded up to be a hard wake-up call to anyone regardless of what their kanto starter was. Also as the first gym leader it would also be sort of a shock to suddenly see this nasty thing come at you after a player's probably gotten an idea what to expect with pokemon, at least at this stage and then suddenly: rock flying dino

>>31524165
>giving her a poorly designed weasel instead of a fighting type that won't get BTFO so easily by a psychic or flying move

Dumbass, give Cynthia's Spiritomb a Ring Target while you're at it too.

>le defense is everything meme

Lance should have had a Salamence. Koga should have had a Toxicroak. Morty should have had a dusclops (so hes not stealing the gengar sig from Agatha).
Erika should have had a Roserade or perhaps a Lilligant if you dont want to steal Gardenia's mon.

>>31524165
How about upgrading her Meditite to Medicham and make it her main. They both got pink.

Wallace should have a Primarina.

>>31526008

Holy autism.

>>31526108
In game, it's better to not be able to one shot the opponent's team by clicking Psybeam or Wing Attack three times.

>>31526166
Not an argument.

>>31525780
Alright Einstein how is anyone supposed to harm the Aerodactyl besides Squirtle considering there are no mons in the beginning of the game besides that one which even could harm it.
Also inb4 do you need a super effective move to win you noob.
No, but considering I'm facing a non-evolution pokemon at atleast level 14 with stats higher than anything at the game evolved or not at this point. It's going to be nearly impossible to win with anything besides Squirtle.

I suppose it is a bit much.

I was looking for a non-Alolan form Rock-type that broke a bit of convention, I also really did like the idea that Brock's partner/ace would have one SE move against all three starters as a harsh wakeup call that Gym-leaders are NOT trainers you encounter on the side of the route.

But I also think a lot of things. All of them autistic and dumb.

>>31526008
>thinks Lucario is better designed than Mienshao

Wew. What shit taste.

Yeah, I know this board likes to be contrarian, but it's true.

>>31526666
Nobunaga's Rayquaza is a shiny one to match his color scheme.
Nobody complain and in fact people said it was a clever move.
So above-satan anon, you're correct.

>>31526156
Speaking of Medicham, Jupiter from Team Plasma should have one because look at her.

>>31524165
i wish Ambipom was Normal/Fighting and was her signature but no! MUH LUCARIO!

>>31526074
>The dragon guy from gen 5 should've had a Tyrantrum.
He had to have been originally meant to have one.

Croagunk matches her colour scheme quite well. Being in gen 4, just like Maylene, also helps.

This. His scarf also has an uncanny resemblance to m gengar's design.

> Roxanne has Lycanroc as partner

No, seriously, Olivia's Probopass looked as her partner more than Lycanroc in SM.

>>31528791
Literally the same said for Lucario.

>>31528935
I disagree about Probopass but edgy Lyanroc suits her even less

Gigalith for Brock.
Electivire for Surge.

>>31528997
The joke on Olivia's team was the different that are between trainer and her Pokémon

>>31528944
You're right. Lucario works just as well for her! Same goes for Rampados, though that one isn't a fighting type. Well, it would have been cool and thematically sound if Rampados was Rock/Fighting.

The thing is, Onix completely filled that role originally. Nowadays there's a lot scarier mons than a big rock snake, but it gen one, all you'd fought up to that point were rats, birds, and bugs. The most intimidating thing you'd seen was your rival's starter in that first battle, and then BAM! Gigantic stone serpent that completely walls one the starters, and probably the most popular one as well. So if you chose him, what was probably your strongest fighter was mostly useless. Squirtle and Bulbasaur had an easier time, but Onix still hit pretty hard.

Nowadays, with hundreds of pokemon in the 'dex and power creep being what it is, he's not so threatening. But if it was your first game, and you didn't know what to expect? Look out.

His point was that you won't win with 3 mediocre psychic or flying type attacks.

Or even Fairy Wind in the inevitable remakes.
