Popplio thread because they're too underrated.
>NOOOO POPPLIO!
>clearly male
>turns into waifubait female
why?
>>31589725
>clearly male
I saw it as a girl from day one, I feel like a winner.
>>31589725
>clearly male
are you autistic?
fuck game freak and their autistic starter gender tradition. popplio is a cute girl
>>31589671
I'm in love with this line
Remember when people thought Popplio was retarded or something? Now she's literally the "S-rank" started, used in speedruns and that
>>31589796
87.5% lad
best starter
>>31589928
Heh. I'd rather have to reset for a female than have a bad Pokémon as a starter. luchily she's amazing for starter standards (or as a Pokémon in general), and has an amazing design. Between all the things that could go wrong, I can't really complain :^)
>>31589840
>>31589862
CUTE thx anon have a big sister Brionne
>>31589994
No problem man
>>31589818
did you make this?
floppy puppies
>like male Popplio and evolutions
>not for trap reasons
I just see them as supportive, caring and loyal male friends and the whole forcing "she" onto the whole line honestly bothers me more than the people who shitpost the 87.5% ratio.
Feels bad.

>Way back then
>Popplio is sooooo ugly, it looks so stupid
>[insert expectations of people being let down by such a "ugly" mon like Popplio here and their hopes of it not becoming something fat and ugly]
>Opinion of Popplio was actually pretty lukewarm from me, found it cute and its hate unjustified
>Primarina is revealed
>As a Popplio fan, kind of let down by it, was actually hesitant of Brionne at first, but got used to it much more than Primarina, who I can't seem to get used to no matter how much I try and is just plain boring to me at least
>Oh my god, best starter ever, look at that typing and she's so pretty!!1 Primarina best starter literally p e r f e c t i o n
>People suddenly jumping on the bandwagon just because it suddenly got pretty and cute and got a typing that doesn't suck
>Legitimately found Primarina fans that hate Popplio and yet, go through the trouble of maintaining one just to get Primarina
I dunno how to feel about this. But I guess I'll always have a soft spot over the pup. Just don't expect me to go head over heels over that... thing. Some Primarina fans are also rather questionable.
>>31590032
nah, i found it here a while back
>>31590142
Uhm. It really looks to me like 90% of people are fine with both Popplio AND Primarina. Littenfags seem to be much more divided about Incineroar desu
>>31590142
I don't think I've ever found someone who preferred Poppilo to Primarina.
But then I've seen someone go all nutty for Incineroar despite not giving a shit on Litten or Torracat, so I guess there's someone out there for every love/hate possibility.
>>31589671
It isn't underrated though
It started out underrated but as soon as people saw it was the least popular it became the most popular and people gave it an "unloved" backstory and a ton of fanart basically saying that it's the best because it started out unloved.
Not underrated in the slightest.
>>31589982
If you love the line that much, then why are you so afraid of even getting a male one regardless of design rather than go through all the trouble of resetting for a female just for a symbol
Seems to me that of all things that haven't gone wrong, it would seem exceptionally wrong for your Popplio to be male in any way unless it were to be just a attempt you'd eventually trash anyway on your path for a female one
>tl;dr if you're gonna specify your love for the species, at least love all 100% of it rather than just 12.5% of it
I love those majestic little merpuppers
>>31590285
Nah, Primarina is my MC's seal-mom and I want her to be female. Male Popplio line is definitely cool, i love them, but I also want them to be female for my particular playthroughs/characters. There's nothing wrong with having a preference.
>>31590285

Oshawott 2.0, anyone?

This.
Cute even in real life
>>31590256
>as soon as people saw it was the least popular it became the most popular
Having a vocal fanbase doesn't make something the most popular, anon. Popplio was consistently the least popular in both fan polls and official polls, and still had a lot of people who called it ugly.
>>31591035
Must be hard to walk in that thing
>>31591190
>bottom in polls
It sure as hell isn't now. That honor belongs to Litten. I personally don't think Popplio is terribly special (more of a Spheal man myself) but it received quite a surge.
>>31591190
No way Popplio is the least popular right now. It only was at the very beginning.
NOOOOOOOOOO POPPLIO!!
>>31591351
Primarina is beautiful
>>31591351
don't hurt her
>>31591351
The girly mermaid is precious, every trainer is proud about their Popplio becoming a Primarina

>>31591234
>That honor belongs to Litten
Agreed, even more with its final form. I may not be terribly fond of the entire line (I'm actually pretty darn apathetic towards it), but that doesn't mean I don't find it underrated even if it's not exactly what people wanted (I'm honestly not entirely sure who's even on the lead or last place, every poll comes from various source). It may have been popular back then (Litten in particular), but ever since Incineroar was introduced, it feels like not that many people like bringing him up to mention any more, whether they were let down or something like that. I won't deny Popplio had its share of unpopularity though, but honestly, all of that was before Primarina was even revealed.
>>31591478
bro quit responding to the shitposter
>>31591423
The primarina in this picture looks unexpectedly creepy.
>>31591479
Well yes. Decidueye and Primarina, and their other forms, had strange popularity paths but they eventually intersected and they're fairly equal now, with Prims edging out the owl in some larger polls. But I was honestly rather surprised with how far Incineroar's line fell, as compared to it occupying the place Prims is in now. It's an odd cycle though, I expect a slight increase in Incineroar fans after this.
Frankly I can't hate the idea of Tiger Zangief.
My favorite Pokemon line. All three are perfect.
>>31590075
Bump
Popplio is cute! CUTE!
>>31592921
They are
>tfw people thought popplio was the one most likely to evolve into something masculine out of the three
>>31598135
Probably because a lot of people didn't really see the whole singing ghing until Brionne was revealed, more or less focusing on the clown and acrobat things.
>>31591582
It's the nose.

>Deciudeye thread

This upsets me more than it should.

>>31598203
We got a Primarina thread a few days ago, just give it a few days and we'll have another one. Have a Primarina anyway
>>31597914
What does this say?
>>31598310
Someone posted the translation a while ago. If i remember correctly, the shiny Popplios are asking why the normal one is different, and that one gets a confused look on her face. Than on the second row the shiny Popplios think that Primarina is their mother, but she isn't since she never laid an egg (as the trainer says). The rest is their nature/gender/level
this is why they make nasal balloons
>>31589671
Why didn't you become BALLIO

>Lol I sing water (how does that even make any sense)
Popplio is a fucking travesty of design at every stage. Name one thing it does well that another water starter didn't do first.
>people being this angry and commenting on this thread just to shitpost
Why are these anons so salty? Is the Popplio line too good for the shitposters to handle?
Why doesn't /vp/ know what an opinion is?

Two can play that game, anon-kun.And I'm a Pinnister fan.
Seeing Ballioniggers cry gives me life.
Let's get the thread back on track.
What spicy ships do you have for any members in the Popplio lineexcluding yourself, sillyand why?
Myself, I like Swanna and Primarina as a pair - with Primarina teaching Swanna how to sing and dance as best as possible to become the leader of its flock.
>>31600083
This image is getting kinda old though, I've already seen it several times. At least use something different so I can't instantly recognize you from just your images.
>>31600104
The difference is that everything you said was false
>>31600121
No, there's no difference, they're literally just opinions, my boy. There's nothing true or false about either of our own opinions.
>>31600109
I like Primarina and Decidueye.
Incineroar/Primarina is also fine but I already ship Incineroar hard with Tsareena.
>>31600109
Primarina and Decidueye works so well for me. Literally the perfect pair.
>>31600409
i wish i was decidueye there
>>31590199
I like Primarina and Brionne plenty, but I wasn't instantly drawn right to the designs like I was with Popplio when the starters were first announced.
It just stood out to me so strongly and I still consider it my favourite S/M pokemon in terms of design.
I knew I was getting Popplio since day one, and I was absolutely happy with how he turned out as the evolutions were revealed.
I got lucky this gen.
>people aren't going to stop fighting about these two
how did this thread last so long
anyways here's another op personal pick as a big brionne fanwho hates other s/m middle evolutions like what the fuck is dartrix?
>>31601158
I like both Torracat and Dartrix a lot, but Brionne is by far my favorite
op personal pick

>>31590142
cool story bro
be on the lookout in stores anons
op personal pick
Not Popplio but I love this one
>>31601158
>what the fuck is dartrix?
This. Back when the mid-evos were revealed, Dartrix just really annoyed me both in design and the 'personality' gf tried to give it. I guess I can appreciate it for the funny fanart it gets, but that's all.
>>31601158
>>31602437
He's a dandy. Ya know, uptight and cares about its physical appearance too much and constantly grooms itself, just like a owl would. Perhaps gets too absorbed in himself to care about others.Much like the seal is supposed to be a snotty stuck up prima donna that never shows its true emotions to absolutely no one except its manager- I mean trainer.
>inb4 I'm wrong
>>31602611
>go into popplio thread
>say rowlet is better
>"hey mom look i am being a le funni trole!!!"
>>31602611
Cool. Anyway I'm still not a fan of Dartrix and adore Brionne, because that's just my opinion.
>>31602635
I actually put both on pretty equal terms. It's the little hints in the designs that gives this off.
>Popplio can make bubbles out of its "snot" = snotty cute kid, might be a bit of a class clown
>Brionne is always cheerful, but only shows its true emotions to its trainer = Always puts a facade toward others, but that might not mean it's doing a bad thing, it can do this while cheering others, it just means it's not exactly portraying its "true" emotions and always puts on a smile regardless
>The entire line puts its nose up high when making the bubbles = proud of themselves, might be a bit stuck up
>Primarina = Arguably a more gentler mon for those it cares, but might also act cold towards others that dare defy it, proud of its power, proud of what it did in order to accomplish what it is now, nurturing, might be deadly and dare I say, high-maintenance if you really want it to be at its best, even if it might mean humiliate yourself a bit for this, but that doesn't mean it won't make up for it
I can do this with Rowlet too
>Rowlet is a spoiled kid
>Dartrix is kind of spoiled rotten and constantly looks after himself and might lose focus every now and then
>Decidueye might be a turn in that he's trying to act not so spoiled and become more open/calm, but can still be easily "ruffled" by tiny mundane things and even get agitated, can easily focus on what it does best though without exactly putting too much focus on himself, prefers being in the depths of whatever the heck rather than being too exposed
I'd do Litten, but that'd be too much to write about. Basically, "reserved fella that becomes enthusiastic, maybe a little too much and does shit its own way, even if people are against it, does the opposite of what people would normally expect". You might have that one friend you could consider reserved and quiet, but did something out of this world, you might call him a Incineroar.
