Let us settle the debate /vp/

When you were a kid did you prefer Magmar or Electabuzz?

Jynx.

I think Electabuzz, if only for its anime cry.

>>58006884 (OP)
I don't think I actually liked either as a kid. As an adult I guess Electabuzz is okay, if that counts for anything

>>58006884 (OP)
Electabuzz

Hated both

I thought both were hideously ugly and wondered why anyone would choose them when the cute Pikachu and the cool Charizard are outright given to you. Magmar has permanently outstretched arms and Electabuzz's Stadium idle animation unnerved the hell out of me and I hated it.

Like, look at this fucking thing. What the hell is it doing? Unnerves the shit out of me, kill it.

>>58006884 (OP)
Neither.
I only started appreciating Electabuzz because of Electivire. And while I also like MAgmortar, I still think MAgmar looks like shit

I vote Electabuzz but both have been kind of fumbled over time IMO
Anime and TCG/sugimori art
Magmar was peak but the games themselves have never really sold him as well except maybe Gen 1, he was one of the few that looked like ass in stadium
Electabuzz similarly was best in his TCG art and was very cool in red but looked underwhelming in stadium and looks worse and less proportionate in every subsequent appearance. I particularly abhor his big-headed Gen II backsprite.
I'd say they both benefitted from the more chaotic or amateurish art style from R/G and R/B and have gotten botched as the games got more professional and approachable
Also both their babymons (stupid concept in general) and uggo sinnoh evos haven't helped their aura either

Magmar because my first ever straight up raw full ods shiny was in pokemon go of all things and it was a shiny magmar

its probably still in my pokemon home now but ever since ive moved on to just genrating my pokemon its somewhat fallen off

It's fucking unnatural and both it and you should die. Magmar and Electabuzz are unnatural.

>>58006884 (OP)
Electrabuzz.
1) I wanted to be Lt. Surge because I was a stupid European child with the same hair colour who didnt get that he was meant to be American
2) electricity seemed cool
3) Tiger stripes that looked like lightning bolts seemed cool
4) elekid cute

>vs
They're bros

>>58006884 (OP)
I like Elekid and Electivire but I never liked Electabuzz's design even back in gen 1. I don't like how it looks like it has a unibrow.

>>58006884 (OP)
I've always loved them both

They're one of the few actual monsters the quadrilogy dex offers, and they're both otherworldly aesthetically and even mechanically to some extent

I also loved Magmortar and Electivire

I give the lines a solid tie

>>58007006
you're too heavily estrogenated to get it

>>58008103
this

Did anyone here get the Magmortar and Electivire gifts from PBR?

>>58008171
of course

I always liked Rhyperior, Magmortar and Electivire.

Now post him doing the cool wind-up punch

>>58006884 (OP)
Electabuzz because magmar is has a butt head
These days I think I prefer magmar though. Electivire is better than both.
