Does anyone here outright detest Slowpoke? I don't think I've met anyone who does. Ambivalence, yes, but no absolute dislike for it.
Also Slowpoke line thread I guess. Other hippos also welcome if those are your thing.
I know for sure the people who thought garchomp could one-shot slowbro hate it now.
Slowpoke helped me beat Pokemon stadium 2, and I used slowking throughout soulsilver.
Overall, I love the slowpoke line.
Hippowdon best hippo

I hate that it's a psychic type. I hate that it's a vague pink blob with toenails. I hate that it always has the same dull expression. I hate the memes associated with it. I hate everything about it, and I hate its evolutions even more.
>>33483632
I feel like you're just saying that to feel special because no one truly hates slowpoke
>>33483640
I have at least 5 reasons to hate it and can't think of any things I like about it. How much hate do you need for it to count?
>>33483643
Those reasons just seem like nitpicks because you wanna feel special.
>>33483651
Okay, so basically you're looking for someone with a certain opinion, and anyone who claims to hold that opinion is lying.
>>33483659
I mean it's hard to believe you could truly hate slowpoke. Plus we're on 4chan so you prolly trolling

>I hate how annoying it is to fight
>I hate how confusing the Pokestar studio with slowking is
>I hate how slowpoke tail tastes
Here are some better reasons for you. You could also list off a time it underperformed on your team.
>>33483684
>genuine complaints about the design are bad complaints
>"I hate how slowpoke tail tastes" isn't
>>33483710
Well. I dunno. My complaints don't feel genuine either.
Yours don't either, why would you hate it's type? How would you make a Saize-oni pokemon?
As for the rest, you basically said you hate it without giving clear reasons why.

>trying this hard to be special
>>33483729
The psychic typing makes no sense, especially when Psyduck and Golduck AREN'T psychic types despite being stated to have psychic powers. The pokedex entries give no explanation for Slowpoke being psychic, they just call it dumb and vacant, which is practically the opposite.
>>33483731
Well I'm not trying to be physical Anon.
>>33483745
That's true, but why is amnesia a psychic move? Why does forgetting so much increase your special defence? I'm sure Japan has the answers for these.

"The user temporarily empties its mind to forget its concerns."
>>33483768
That's acceptable I suppose. I have no more Slowpoke images so I'll just be lurking.
>>33483618
OP here. I don't care much for Hippowdon admittedly, but think Hippopotas is a criminally underrated design
>>33483568
slowpokes a salamander

>you can't dislike it cause I said so!
I love Slowpoke and its evos, but fuck off ffs
