Why is this allowed?

the other two are more creative than a fucking dragon

Shellshock is the best one though.

>mascot
>Is the worst of the three

The design is a scrub wall, only children fall for the fire lizard meme.

Bulbasaur is the worst though, it can't do jack shit to all the Caterpies, Weedles and Zubats you fight at the beginning of the game.

Blastoise is objectively the best final evo starter but Charizard is the coolest.

Venusaur is the best defensively of the 3

Because Ash had one

And 10 year olds with shit opinions

Pretty much due to the anime creating literal decades of Charizard wank.

He smashes the first 2 gyms though then by that point you've got enough places to explore and flesh out your team properly.

Blastoise is way cooler than the gay orange dragon. That's a fucking bipedal turtle with water cannons

>tackle anything grass is bad against
>steamroll the first two gyms
bulbasaur is good are you dizzy

Who the fuck cares about the beginning of the game?

>Anime wanking Charizard
>Anime Charizard was an ungrateful cunt who took a nap instead of fighting an important league battle.

>Venusaur was objectively the best competitively before the genwun dick sucking from Gen 6
>Charizard was objectively the worst
Really made me think

First 4 really since Grass resists Electric and itself.

Charizard has by far the most normalfag appeal, being a SOCOOL dragon. I don't mind that in itself, but then Charizard became the second biggest mary sue pokemon who defeats everyone always and gets super special edgelord form.

Reminds me of that death battle where Blastoise won and Charizard fans showed why Nintendo is afraid to let Charizard lose.

>blubasaur bad
>when Thick Fat exists
it doesn't matter that it came later, he'll eventually turn into one of the most annoying tanks ever with the greatest fucking typing and ability

Objectively superior, SHIT, SHIT

they always pull this shit
>Ho-oh
>has a story with the region
>broken hidden ability that makes it do its own job and Lugia's job better than it
>stronger signature attack
>better stats
>the shiny is gold and silver which represents the game while Lugia is a shitty pink
>work and effort put into the design while Lugia is an ugly Dragonite with goofy giant hands for wings
>better theme
>isn't shoved in a remote island that has nothing to do with the regio except one line of dialogue in Dragon's Den
Every mascot Pokemon has an ugly best friend

would've agreed to you
but the way you typed it made it very clear you're just a butthurt ashfag who only started hating charizard after he defeated deviantartfrog

MODS!

Is a new pokemon game coming out so the company is posting several threads to keep.it hot?

everyone on /vp/ has literal autism or is a furry, it's easier to have a discussion on Sup Forums

If Blastoise was dual type (water/ice), and Venasaur could learn a sludge bomb type attack, they'd both be better than Charizard.

Nigga even before that Charizard was like that.

>manga
>Red's Charizard and Green's Blastoise have a 'rivalry'
>Charizard always wins despite Blastoise having the type advantage

That was only the first series, user. The wank started during Johto.

>Lugia
>important to Dragon's Den
Dragon's Den has more lore for Ho-oh than it does Lugia because of the Sacred Flame. I'd assume Lugia isn't given much love because it was supposed to be tied to the legendary birds and Kanto was half-assed in GSC

The masses have shit taste, more at 11

not to mention
>has a signature unique item that's the best healing item in the game

well Lugia did eventually get it's own game in GoD

I feel that if Blastoise was designed nowadays it would be water/steek

>all this cool shit for the coolest gen 1 starter all the fucking time

What's the issue?

14-year-olds hate gen 1, and think Black and White are the best games.

...

and yet Ho-Oh is the one that gets ignored while everyone wanks Lugia's dick

blastoise already has ice moves and its not fast enough it can ignore having a helping of "worst defensive type in the game" added to it

Probably because giant chicken somehow manages to be more ugly than fat fingerwings.

Which gen got it right, Sup Forums?

IV, V and VII. No bad choices.

Graphic designer here. Ho oh has a better aesthetic, lugia is horribly designed but plays off farmiliar designs seen in other pokemon in the series making it easier to bond with and other psychosomatic things to do with a father figure. If you like Lugia you most probably enjoy your fathers company

none of them, every gen has at least one bad starter
but if i had to pick, i'd say gen 2 was the least bad

Sinnoh. All 3 of them are great.

youre making a misteek

2nd gen had by far the coolest starters late-game while 3rd gen cameup close

nobody called charizard the mascot. lots of people liked him, so what? everyone has their favorite, mine is blastoise

They're ALL bad choices

Ice moves that would be 50% more effective if it was ice type. Offence is the best defence.

gen 1, gen 3, gen 4, gen 6
this picture fucking sucks. weeb trash artist

This.

>gen 2
>meganium
>typhlosion (the poster child for: it just gets bigger)
>cool

Feraligatr is pretty baller though, and also the only good gen 2 starter

Not if you're slow user, and base 78 Speed isn't exactly blazing fast

Because the masses have preferences that marketing adapts to. Shitty ones, but hey, what can you do.

>that kid who wasn't aware of how good Leech Seed is

oh yes, 83-85-78 is a fantastic offensive spread

79-100-105 on the other hand, that can just be ignored


Blastoise already has a good STAB in the form of water, it uses ice moves to hit things SE, ice type STAB isn't going to help a whole lot with that.

now if Blastoise was say, fast and with high attack, then ice type might have helped

Lugia isn't given much love in the games because it was actually conceived of for the second anime movie.

Unironically Gen 3

Kanto had Charmander and Squirtle
Johto had the fire hedgehog
Sinnoh was also good, but the final fire starter evo ruins it
Unova was dogshit
Kalos was alright and I don't understand the hate for the rpg trio
Alola only had the owl

Who is the better Gen 6 mascot?

Gen 3 and all that came after it sucks donkey dick

Gen 1 is alright
Gen 2 would be fine if not for chikorita, though typhlosion being a stat clone of charizard doesn't help either
Gen 3 and 4 are both great
Gen 5 is terrible because all three starters are awful
Gen 6 is alright because it at least has a theme
Gen 7 has some nice variety of choices but none of them really stand out

Greninja since people actually latched onto his final evolution, though I actually prefer Fennekin's line

It's a clean, no nonsense design, unlike the last two, which look like complete mongrels in comparison. Charizard is the only one suitable for a mascot.

more 14 years old love charizard and shit on anything not gen 1 to try and fit in

Gen 3. Not only are all of them decent designs on their own, they manage to be unique compared to their predecessors as well. Compared to Blastoise and Feraligatr, Swampert is more rounded and even cute, while in gameplay its secondary Ground typing gives it flair the preceding ones didn't have. Although fine in terms of looks, Typhlosion played like a discount Charizard and Blaziken in comparison was such a triumph that the next two goddamn fire starters had the same secondary typing. Sceptile represents an opposite in terms of both visuals and gameplay design when compared to Venusaur and Meganium; lean and agile instead of bulky and stalwart.
