ITT: Pokemon whose appeal you don't understand It's

>>33145659
Literally every Pokémon can be given an oversimplified description like that in an attempt to pitch it as unappealing.

Everyone seems to like Swampert but I just, what is the appeal of this thing? It looks so fucking awkward.

Why does it have human-like arms? Why does it have two mohawks? Why does it have bright orange shit all over it? Why is it always bent down, and making that awkward mouthbreathing face?

And then there's that steroid abuse abomination of a Mega Evolution...

Jolly moxie scarf heracross is both a solid check to nearly every normal type and a deadly sweeper if it gets a ko and has 2 stab 120 BP moves to lock itself into along with access to knock off, so the appeal is competitive, Breloom is meh imo.

>>33146232

>>33145814
Pokemon was inspired by bug catching and Heracross is based on on of the most impressive looking bugs, also its bro tier in game and against people.
Breloom is like a mushroom raptor, its unique and also introduced Spore, the most powerful sleep move in the game.

But what's the appeal of Primarina? A mermaid type design doesn't sound too bad and I like Brionne. It just looks like something that would've been scrapped when making prototype designs for Brionne.

>>33145687
underrated post

>>33145963
Swampert only has two legs, it's just doing the gorilla thing

Are there any pokemon that actually do go from two to four legs?

>>33146351
Primarina is a mermaid and a waifu, not unlike Gardevoir. But Gardevoir is old and busted now, so there you go

Being a very early, solid electric type meant it found its way onto many people's ingame teams. Then people end up liking it because it's their bro. Think of it as Pikachu-lite or Luxray 1.0. Plus it's cute.

>I don't understand the appeal of a kickboxing mushroom raptor that doesn't have to look intimidating to be badass
Its quite a unique and charming design. Even the mushroom cap plays a role on the fighter concept for being shaped like a kasa(hats worn by samurai and monks). Its popularity is well deserved.

>>33146411
Moxie scarf isn't a meme it's one of if not the best sets to use on heracross.

>wasting your mega slot.

>>33146507
Why do people like Luxray? It's worse in game than Raichu or Ampharos and it looks more like a long rat than a lion. If it was just because it looks like a lion then Pyroar would be as, or more popular

Also when are they fixing Pyroar? Jesus fucking christ, who even okayed those stats and those moves?

>>33146509
>kickboxing mushroom raptor
also a kangaroo that's also a monk, that's like lucario-tier in terms of being a clusterfuck of a design. I don't mind pokemon being based in several concepts/creatures but at least have some cohesion

>>33146523
Are you retarded or have you not been on OU for the past four years? MoxieCross is downright unviable in the higher tiers while Mega Heracross is pretty good.

MoxieCross is really only viable in RU.

>>33146568
I think the only one retarded here is (You) in my own experience scarf cross is pretty damn good in competitive and can pull off a sweep, mega cross gains bulk and loses speed, sounds great for a 4× weak physical sweeper. This mega is garchomp tier trash.

>>33146619

It's not that I don't see the appeal. It's even one of my favorite Unova mons. But the fact that literally everyone loves the thing, including people who swear that gen 5 is an abortion, is just baffling to me.

>>33146630

I didn't like Gliscor or Conkeldurr as much as I do now until I started meming on people with them, so it could be that

>>33146701

garchomp

>>33146701
125 without a boosting item or ability is pretty pathetic, all things considered. Mega is better because it's a wall breaker and can crush stall, not to mention Pin Missile is more accurate than Megahorn and can break subs, as well as Rock Blast with its ability is objectively better than Stone Edge in every situation.

Mega loses speed (which with a Scarf isn't even that great in OU) for a SHIT ton of attack, the ability to break subs and deal damage, bulk, and the ability to actually choose your damn attacks.

Walls and Stall (read: top level) players fear MegaCross. Kids who haven't seen the meta and have no idea what Heracross does fear the Scarf set.

>>33146777
Also to add, why the hell would anybody use vanilla cross over Buzzwole? Buzzwole has fucking bulk and recovery

>>33145659
It's a Pokemon version of Omega.

>>33145814
They are both good competitively.

Its reminiscent of kangaroos but I think its more of a raptor/dino as Shroomish's design resembled a pokemon egg somewhat.

>that's like lucario-tier in terms of being a clusterfuck of a design
How is it on pair with Lucario, when Lucario doesn't even look like one of it's typings? Breloom actually looks like a Grass/Fighting and acts like one too(stretchy arms combine plant and boxing elements). Lucario should've been a Psychic type based on concept, but got something unrelated to the design(probably for competitive reasons) instead.

barring animation Breloom looks nothing like a fighting type

you keep bringing up the conical asian hat when it doesn't even do jackshit with it, especially since the most common martial art depiction of it is being used as a weapon

this aspect is a nonfactor

>>33146893
>especially since the most common martial art depiction of it is being used as a weapon
that isn't the most common

the most common is it being tilted forward to hide the wearer's identity so that a character can appear mysterious without also looking villainous (for that, you would give the character a mask)

>>33146914
>being tilted forward to hide the wearer's identity
i didn't know this was a martial art. i'd love to train this some day

>>33146893
>the most common martial art depiction of it is being used as a weapon
Holy shit you're retarded

There is no such depiction except mortal kombat

>>33146836
I like a Breloom and all but there's no way it looks anything like a Fighting type. It has extendo arms, but they're thin and noodly and all grass types have some kind of tendrils.

That's not what the hat depicts you stupid ass motherfucker. Nobody looks at a kasa and thinks "weapon" except you. It evokes A FIGHTER, not a martial art.

faggot, nearly any object (rake, fan, umbrella) can be stylized into a weapon in feudal japan and imperial china. Breloom making sense as a fighting type is an afterthought and not an initial reaction nor foresight to most people who encounter it

>>33147175
Yeah, and that's why nobody looks at those things and immediately thinks "martial art weapon" you fucking idiot. Many Pokemon's type isn't immediately obvious, the important thing is it makes sense on them and fighting makes sense for Breloom.

>>33147192
>Many Pokemon's type isn't immediately obvious

>>33145793
It's a swamp monster, best I can describe it. I like that it looks unsettling, it doesn't need to look "cool" or "cute" or something, it's a lumbering beast that'll take whatever you throw at it as long as it isn't a plant and then fuck your shit up hardcore. The Mega doubles down on that. Those orange things also function as jets in water, at least on the Mega, so that's neat.
>>33146773
It's a shark-dragon-raptor-jet-transformer that flies at Mach 2 and eats entire flocks of birds whole that's also fantastic in competitive. One of the most metal Pokemon that isn't a Steel-type.
Also, in Platinum, you can catch Gible immediately after Gardenia in the same cave as TM26, which is fucking awesome.

>>33147192
It makes sense to you know because it's probably your favorite and you now know Breloom is a fighting type. That doesn't mean it evokes a fighting type right off the bat to the unfamiliar eye/fan

>>33147232
Swampert doesn't look unsettling to me, just derpy. It doesn't look menacing or frightening at all and it doesn't do a good job at looking like a "swamp monster".

>>33147240
And Gyarados doesn't look like a flying type right off the bat. Or Nidoking as a ground type. Or Poliwrath as a fighting type. What the fuck is your point? This applies to tons of Pokemon.

Again, first glance doesn't fucking matter. The type only needs to make sense on them, not be immediately obvious.

>There are people who think it looks nothing like a Fighting type
No elastic fists, and still looks like a dedicated fighter. You guys just lack imagination.

>>33147267
don't deflect. the fact of the matter is you keep bringing up the mushroom cap thing as a kasa/salakot/conical asian hat when most people saw the mushroom cap as just that--a mushroom cap at first glance, hence anons here saying Breloom doesn't look like a fighting type. it's only an issue because you tried to overly defend Breloom's design/inspirations with respect to the fighting type and now you're suddenly saying it's okay to not be explicit in its typing vis-a-vis the design

>>33147267
Also, my point was against this dumb shit >>33146893, claiming the design doesn't make good use of the monk hat motif because it doesn't throw it like Kung Lao? Are you really that desperate for things to complain about?

This argument looks retarded, but just by appearance Breloom looks like it would be /Dragon before /Fighting. Like how anyone would look at Kommo-O and think it was /Steel before /Fighting.

>>33145963
Swampert learns that furries want to fuck it.

>>33147285
I'm not that guy, and he never said the cap immediately and blatantly evokes a monk's hat, he literally just said it plays a role. A design element isn't bad just because it's lost on simpletons.

even Breloom fags can never agree on what it is, so just take a seat and for a moment consider that maybe Breloom does have too many things going on

Secondary typings usually don't influence the designs as much as the first type.

Its most based off on axolotl, more amphibian than fish really. This is what gives it its accented gills and the human-like digits.

That's just reaching. You can call Gyarados a "clusterfuck" of a fish, a snake, an eel, a dragon, an oarfish, a windsock, a kite, but that's retarded and "sea serpent" is enough.

Eevee is an amalgam of like five different animals and no one complains about that.

>>33147379
because they all work together well. Cohesion is key

fish, snake, eel, dragon, oarfish and windsock for example all share the basic body shape so even if someone tried to list all of that it still works

for Breloom it may work but it still doesn't make the entire design as streamlined as Gyarados'
>boxer
>monk
>dinosaur/raptor
>kangaroo
>mushroom
yeah no

>>33147373
If you complain about every Pokemon whose secondary type isn't immediately obvious you'll be complaining a lot. If you don't then you're a hypocrite.

>>33147379
Because Eevee and Gyarados are made of similar concepts dumbass

A monkey with the traits of a man is going to look a hell of a lot more cohesive than a bird with the traits of a microwave oven

>>33147373
Why do people have a problem with fanart that stays on model with the design? Are these people really this autistic?

>>33147394
A kangaroo has the same basic body shape as a raptor. That's why the "dinosaur" thing is meaningless. Sure, it has big claws, but then Gyarados is an eel with catfish features? You're blowing it out of proportion. Boxer and kangaroo also work together.

Gyarados is Water/Dragon.

>>33147402

There's that word again. For the tenth time, a type doesn't have to be immediately obvious, only to make sense when you think about it. Nobody calls Nidoking a bad design because it isn't obviously a ground type, except the highest spectrum of autist.

Why even use alakazam?

>>33147310
Nobody actually likes this thing, since it's more of a competitive tool than a pokemon.

>>33148758
It's pretty cute... Also, super luck and it's access to critical moves helps. Mega absol? Idfk...

>>33148871
I can see that to a extent, just isn't for me. Mega Absol looks like a deviantart fan made evolution though

>>33148901
Agreed and agreed. Only time I run absol is with super luck and scope lens. Pretty much 100% critical. I only like it for the same reason I like guardevoir. Were my Bros in gen 3... But I get the appeal

>>33148103
It's not just a boulder, it's a rock.

>>33148841
>Gardevoir is easily a better replacement.
Lol no. Zam severely outclassed Gardevoir until the latter got retyped. No one wants to use a physically frail mon with 80 base speed and no speed boosting moves. You'll put your team at a disadvantage compared to using Zam. Heck, even Azelf and Espeon are better than Gardevoir. Fairy typing is Voir's only saving grace over other Psychics(until Top Lel was introduced LOL)

>>33149539
Gardevoir found irrelevant in a ditch

>>33149539
Tapu Lele ended Gardevoir. Gardevoir is a fad of Gen 6. Fadevoir

>>33149599
Still has a place if you don't run terrain, the mega will always be a powerhouse

>>33148010
>feminine side of designs
>LITERALLY just a moth
You pokemonfuckers are braindead, I legit think you suffer from some sort of mental illness. Volcarona is literally a recolored moth yet you see a sexualized woman, this level of delusion can't be healthy.

>>33149843
Feminine != waifumon
You're the degenerate if you think feminine immediately means something you want to fuck. Do you also want to fuck nail polish?

>>33149635
Gardevoir is over!

>>33149848
It's LITERALLY just a fucking moth. They took a real life moth and made it cartoony. How the fuck can an insect be feminine or masculine? Do you look at real life moth and say "Wow, this thing is so feminine!"

>>33149868
Butterflies (and to a lesser extent moths) are generally considered a "feminine" animal, yes. It's not uncommon for female fairies to get butterfly wings in some fiction.

>>33145729
Obligatory "u only c benis cuz ur le gay xDDDd" reply

>>33149884
It makes no sense.
It's NOT healthy to sexualize a cartoon insect.

>>33145814
Heracross is the quintessential Pokémon. It isn't difficult to see what it's based on - a rhinoceros beetle - but it doesn't just look like a Pokémonified animal. The horn clearly makes it fit for battling - still the core aspect of Pokémon - and Heracross looks both cute and cool.

>>33149905
You're the only one talking about sexualizing Volcarona here. I think you're the one that needs help.

>>33149905
People here sexualize Pokemon all the time. You new to 4chan or something?

>>33149897
no one else did it dude
you could've just left it
but no, you had to be a sperg

>>33149884
Different anon. Is english your second language by any chance? English doesn't really assign masculine or feminine to objects and animals.

I refuse to believe that anyone actually likes this thing for what it is and not for how many wins it gives them while playing competitive. What is it even supposed to be?

>clown nose
>goatee
>weird tumour on its head
>body like a veiny cock
>stubby little legs
>concrete pillars that seem inconvenient as fuck

>>33149971
Then name one Pokémon that's based on an animal that doesn't just look like a pokemonified animal.
Hybrids of different animals (like Nidorino) don't count.

>>33149972
the first three of your greentext is because of Conkeldurr's inspiration from drunk elderly warlords (hence the topknot you call a tumor)

Not that I expect people to like it, I'm just pointing out why those things are

t. probably the biggest Conk fag

>>33149977
if i say none, it doesn't make your claim any more correct because that attribute is not special nor exclusive to your beetlemon

>>33148758
Absol is a dark dark super dark misunderstood hero everyone thinks is an edgy bringer of the apocalypse but is actually a super nice guy who just wants to help people and cries inside (only sometimes) at the mean words said about him. Just like me.

>>33149986
I never said that attribute is exclusive to Heracross. I just pointed it out at one of the things that make it good.

>>33150003
but that's not necessarily a good thing. Herdier for example is literally a pokemonified dog

I can't comprehand why people like that clusterfuck of a design or even find it cool
>it's a land shark plane dragon dinosaur preying mantis that can somehow fly despite possessing no wings or supernatural powers
If I didn't know there was such a Pokemon beforehand I'd swear I'm reading about some Deviant Art autist's OC

Gardevoir
Sure, I used one in a Sapphire playthrough, but it's not even a good design.

>>33148841

Nostalgia from Gen1 might play a part. This was absolutely busted when the Special stat wasn't split. I agree that the design is fairly plain.

35KB, 639x300px

It's not so much that I don't understand the appeal.
Aside from nostalgic Unovabortions, Emboar is only liked by barafags, Serperior is only liked by vorefags, and Samurott is only liked by giga-hipsters who want to exercise their persecution complex for "loving" the worst design in the game.

I just don't understand how anyone could have standards so low as to like these things even given those conditions. They're so bad.

Magic Guard+Life Orb m8

>Heracross is the quintessential Pokémon. It isn't difficult to see what it's based on - a rhinoceros beetle
So it's named after the Hercules beetle but looks like a rhinoceros beetle?

The horn being used for fighting doesn't signify it as a Pokemon. Bug fighting is super popular in Japan.

Stop being delusional. Heracross is no more "the quintessential Pokemon" than any other bugmon. The quintessential Pokemon is Pikachu.

>>33148841
Zim Zam is my favorite mon, I love how odd it looks, it hits hard and fast and with a good setup it can sweep like a charm, it may be frail but this is where your other team mates come in, psychic is a cool type and even if its not a coverage plug & play murder machine it still has access to some cool tricks and an awesome looking mega

>>33150315
the plane thing was something that debuted in the ashime, like Xatu speaking in semaphore or Lugia being related to the Kanto birds

>>33151213
And they're both shit despite it. Not to mention that neither of those facts help them in game, as starters, where they're even worse than shit. Boxing them is the only right move.

>still thinking monster girl = furry
Monster people are girls/guys with monster/creature/animal traits thrown on them. You know, stuff like Nekos or mermaids or even slimes.
Furries are animals with human traits thrown on them. Most furrsonas are almost always the same, a animal head slapped on a hairy human body with a tail and the occasional paws instead of hands and feet. This is almost always the case unless they go full feral and start putting wings or horns or lizard skin/tails on there DONUT STEEL PLEASE UNDERSTANDU OC's. Or just have a mixture of both.

>>33151642
>the plane thing was something that debuted in the ashime
You are completely full of shit. Both the Diamond and Pearl dex entries talk about it being a jet plane. It's literally known as the Mach Pokemon. Just because you got into Pokemon watching the DP anime as a baby doesn't mean it originated there.
