Why is this Pokemon getting so popular all of a sudden?

Because it's the only good Sinnoh starter.

Because it looks cool

>>33468899
Infernape is better, nigger

>monkey with fire on its head and gold-plated nipples
>good
It's hot garbage.

>>33468899
Prinplup exists...

>>33468892
All of a sudden? True Pokéfans know that Empoleon has been all the rage for years

>>33468892
I filled a box with cosmogs I traded for piplups when bank came out.
I only stopped because I got bored

>>33468909
it's based off of son wukong from journey to the west

Sorry, but Torterra shits all over your silly penguins and monkeys.

Because it is the best evolution of Eevee

>>33468979
Calm down, they're all good desu

>>33468892
Tbh, non of final evos of Sinnoh starters are bad looking, I consider them top notch. Nostalgia aside, if not, Johto starters might be there.

>>33468892
It's not. What gave you that impression?

Sinnoh nailed its starters, theyre all 10/10. Imo Torterra>Empoleon/Infernape

>>33468892
Arru hairu Brittni- I mean Sinnoh!

All hail the Penguin Overlord!

This, I dread the sinnoh remakes because I'll have no idea who to pick

>>33469555
I'll box them, I hate the Sinnoh starters

Sinnoh was the last region to have sexy starter final forms.

>>33468979
Torterra is the least liked starter out of every generation, we had a poll with how much art there was of each one.

>>33470195
That just means drawfags like Torterra the least. You ruined your sample group by restricting it to a certain kind of people, meaning you can't extrapolate the result to the general population.

>>33470195
I'm not gonna argue that Torterra isn't one of the bottom 5, but art isn't really a good indicator and especially so when Torterra's a busy design to draw with low flexibility

Pokken, it gave him a cool kingly personality

>>33468979
Torterra is the reason why people prefer the Hoenn starters over the Sinnoh starters, So yeah it shits over all the Sinnoh fans

Journey to the West has a weirdly wide appeal and there's so much shit based on it. I'm surprised Infernape isn't more popular.

>>33468892
because water steel is a great combo

Because Glaceon wants to succ

>>33470249
He should have a mega who rides a cloud and has a fire pole weapon, with a signature ability that works like levitate with some other gimmick

>>33470249
Agreed. Shit, Goku from DBZ is based off of him. It's also a great fucking read and I recommend it to anybody. Considering how archaic you'd think it'd be, it's pretty hilarious, and accessible.

Maybe its foreshadowing DP remakes

>>33469546
yes, perfect

>>33470283
Nah, a copy ability. Like substitute.

>>33468957
A good concept doesn't mean shit if it's executed as poorly as titsmonkey

Empoleon has always been the best Gen IV final evo starter it's just that it's movepool is shit compare to it's counterparts
Pokken gave it the spotlight it truly deserves
