Imagine only liking something and thinking it's good because it's popular... Also popularity can easily change over time obviously...
>>58176488
Imagine being the one to bring up popularity as a metric of quality and then calling other people contrarian for sincerely liking an objectively cool Pokemon.
It's a flaming warthog Snorlax. It's cool because it's cool, cunt.

nta that anon, not even emboarfag (not one of my favs but never got the REEE PIG IS FAT, FIRE/FIGHTING BAD complaints), but emboar has always had some fans here and even had semi regular threads, likely only the same 5 or so anons but still. Just because a bunch of secondaries flooded in and are pretending to like Emboar because its a shillmon now doesn't mean literally no one ever used it.

Yesss. I think the arms are my favorite part of the design. The claws too, I like how they come together almost like pincers. You can feel the grip strength through the design.

Not him, but one of my oldest surviving Pokemon is an Emboar. Transferred all the way from BW2.
He was a member of the first team I completed Battle Subway Super Singles with. Scarfed Jolly boar went the whole way, not even with a hidden ability. Just Blaze.
>>58176451 >It got regional replacement in pla, something only shitmons and failed shillmons get
So wait which is Raichu cause regular Raichu is still fairly popular and alolan Raichu is just as popular so is Raichu a failed shillmon or a shitmon and what about Meowth and Vulpix? Did they fail and get replacements or were they popular and that's why they got regionals?
>>58176488
What happened to just liking the pokemon you like regardless of popularity? >This pokemon is a shillmon that's why you like it >This pokemon is shitmon that's why you like it
What's wrong with just liking a pokemon because it's cool?

You know the more I look at at it, the more I actually start to like this design. I feel like the only reason it gets hate is because it was the third fire/fighting starter. But if you set that aside, and just solely look at the actual mon itself for what it is, and not the circumstances surrounding it, it's actually not a bad pokemon. Its shiny is also really cool.

It was popular to hate gen 5 when it came out and Emboar being fire/fighting certainly didn't help it's reputation at the time. Overall though it's a very underrated design and most people now look back on gen 5 fondly.
