Isn’t it weird how the every Dark type starter has been the shillmon of its trio?

>>57913497 (OP)
Being dark and edgy will always be cool to young kids

>>57913497 (OP)
>Incineroar
>Hisuian Samurott

>shillmons

>>57913524
It is hard to tell if "is extremely good in battle" is intentional or not.

>>57913524
Samurott is a stretch but you can't say that the Smashmon of the generation wasn't a shillmon

>>57913497 (OP)
Only one of those was a shillmon, Incineroar.

Also the Hisuian trio got fuck-all for shilling

>>57913524
>oshawott is an ambassador mon
>samurott is in the anime
>hisuian samurott being used to advertise champions
they're late to the party but gamefreak is absolutely pushing them now

>>57913497 (OP)
and i'd fuck 3 of them

>>57913497 (OP)
>h-samurott

KEKAROO

>>57913547
>samurott is in the anime
It appears at the very end of the second part of a garbage saga, and had like two seconds of screentime in the BW2 animated short. Noivern was shilled harder than Samurott in gen 5.

>>57913524
Incineroar outright made it into Smash

>>57913497 (OP)
>YouTube poll thread
Worse than a Twitter screencap thread.
>>57913544
The shillmon so shilled, it got a super special Battle Bond form: Ash-Incineroar.

Ironic how the most popular Alolan starter these days is the one that was shilled the least and did't make it into any other game.

Greninja
>jobs during the climax of the Kalos saga and its own character arc
>wins the global poll, gets nothing when Rayquaza got V-Create for winning the last major poll back in gen 5. Stays dexcut in gen 8
>started off great competitively. Was quickly nerfed into the ground in Smash and memed on
>was nerfed into the ground in Pokemon after being dexcut for a generation
Incineroar
>NEVER jobbed during the Alola saga. Could probably 1v2 Superman and Popeye with the amount of dicksucking he had
>the most polarizing starter of all time and hated by many, still waltzes into Smash to singlehandedly grind the game's hype boosters to a halt until the Joker reveal
>revenge faggotry was never nerfed in Smash. Has a solid competitive career
>was never nerfed directly in Pokemon despite ruling VGC for two generations in a row
Incineroar was and still is the superior shillmon

>>57913566
>broken move + ability
>Regular, V, and Vstar, all have extra arts that the others don't
>used to advertised Champions
>not sabotaged by shit stats
>not sabotaged by pedo rape fics
its not much since and Hisui as a whole got jackshit, but its fucking royalty compared to the other two

>>57913524
>THE VGC mascot
>not a shillmon

>>57913812
>broken move + ability
stop staring fanfic garbage and pretending it’s relevant

>>57913497 (OP)
>make new pokemon?
>NOPE WE'RE GIVING SAMUROTT BLACK AND RED ARMOR AND THAT'S IT
>FUCK CREATIVITY AND EFFORT WE LOVE LAZINESS
regional variants? a very big mistake is what they were

>>57913497 (OP)
It was obviously supposed to be the owl for Alola but Sakurai going for Incineroar kinda derailed everything

>>57913547
It has its own fucking train. You're favorite shill mons will likely never get the love mine gets.

>>57915509
Wow, it took eighteen years to finally move on from Piplup

test

>>57913524
It got intimidate and everything it could want in doubles
It got in smash

It's the favored son of that generation.

>>57915573
Good Pokemon are good by accident. Masuda was surprised people were running Aegislash as a special attacker.

>>57916380
If you believe he was actually surprised when he gave it that much SpA then I have a bridge to sell you. You shouldn't just take everything people say at face value.

>>57916415
Game Freak was positive that people would run it as a mixed attacker.

>>57915556
not really

>Appointed in December 2021, Oshawott is now the Support Pokémon of Mie Prefecture. The Japanese characters for Mie can also be read “Mijuu,” which fits with Oshawott’s Japanese name, “Mijumaru.” The yellow seashell Oshawott carries on its stomach, known as a “scalchop,” calls to mind Mie’s bountiful shellfish, including oysters like the Akoya pearl oyster.

>>57913812
While TPC always hated Typhlosion I’m surprised it got better treatment than a kungfu ronin

>>57913812
its a pretty mediocre move and an okay ability that are rendered strong together.

>>57913812
>110 damage
>doubled if your opponent has taken ANY damage
>2 (two) energy
i will admit i never played the tcg outside of collecting cards as a kid but this looks busted as fuck
is this an outlier or is this just what the tcg looks like now

>>57913497 (OP)
Say hello to your next Smash main

>>57913547
I forgot how popular oshawott is in Japan. It's the complete opposite in America.

>>57918751
Tt's kinda funny when you consider that it's the same case for Totodile and Feraligatr, Americans love that line and are fully convinced it's one of the series' most popular godsends but anywhere else it completely falls off.

>>57918783
The rest of the world has shit taste. Japan, especially.

>>57918721
We're getting a Gen 10 mon

>>57918721
>that time earlier this year when the same few autists were trying to force meowscarada as the next steve on /v/

>>57918684
yes, it's what the tcg is like now.

>>57918784
>Everyone who disagrees with me has shit taste
incel behavior

>>57920539
You've outed yourself for not recognizing gatr supremacy.

>>57918783
Westoid ""Fans"" are just THAT delusional compared to the rest of the world

>>57920539
Japan likes gacha "games" more than anybody else so it's perfectly reasonable to think that they have shit taste.

>>57920542
I'm just not an incel who shits on anyone who disagrees with me like you and the rest of this incel board does lol

>>57920552
>I'm just not an incel
X

>>57920555
Yeah because i'm not shitting on anyone who disagrees with me unlike you

>>57920557
You are right now. I like the superior starter, so you're projecting your virginity onto me.

>>57920560
>The superior starter
According only to you

>>57920547
That explains why they're so good at destroying themselves

>>57920564
Source?

>>57920571
>>57918783
The source is not being delusional

>>57920574
I accept your concession.

>>57920576
>No rebuttal
Typical incel

>>57920578
How can I rebut your lack of a source?

>>57920582
>it's a lack of source because i said so

Local /vp/ incel mad for being called out ITT

>>57920584
You provided no source, virgin.

>>57920590
Explain this >>57918783 then
>>57920587
i've never meet a feraligatr fan who wasn't an incel and/or a barafag

>>57920592
I'm not all of America.

>>57920595
