  • Many Pokémon evolve in all sorts of ways, but sometimes there are lone entries that never change. Now depending on how they end up this could be good or very bad, so let's see which Pokémon are able to pull off the single life and which one really need to be given a relative or two to get out of their current funk! (P.S. it worked last time, so maybe it will again!)

    I sorta want Wishiwashi's ability on male Combee
    Edit: To explain, we've seen in the anime that combee do group together to defend the hive. So making a defensive bug and giving more moves for combed is an understandable idea.

    I admit its my personal bias, but I don't like single stage, non-legendaries much. When you need to work with other options to fill the dex, my completionist brain says there isn't a point to using the single stages for a story mode.

    Sawk and Throh were actually based on Oni, which are a type of yokai that are in Japanese mythology. And yes they were sort of meant to be a reimagined version of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee from generation one but instead of being proficient in boxing/kickboxing, Sawk and Throh specialized in karate and judo.

    I'm trying hard to support Cryogonal even if they aren't paired to others' strengths or weaknesses.
    To answer why Cryogonal is my favourite could be that the ice type is rarely the typing I like, except for Vaillite's evolution line, Walrein, Frostlass, Articuno, Beartic, Weavile and Ninetales, but it's always like that since gen 1 w/o the typing. Cryogonal sticks out than any other ice type because it is a bit unusual and it shows off decently being a predator expressively told by the pokedex and it is surely a Pokemon that deserves more with added cheerleadering.

    Ive never understood the hate for humanoid pokemon. So what its humanoid, humanoid monsters have existed literally for ever oni/ogres, onryos, gorgons, goblins, ghost, ect. And i think thats where people get stuck they see pokemon and think of them as animals when they're POKET MONSTERS if anything by that definition sawk and throh are more pokemon than say ekans ekans is cool asl but he is just a snake sawk and throh are fighting living puppets. same for the clothes thing theres to different excuses for clothes thing one whos to pokemon arent smart or capable enough to make there own clothes again these are monsters not animals with almost human levels of intelligence sometimes. Or whos to say this isnt just convergent evolution humans are top dawg of the food chain why would something wanna evolve to look like us the "clothes" are like just silk fur (felt in sawk and throhs case bc puppets) scales ect. That just happen to look like clothes

    To be fair, Levitate is a better Ability than any of those other 6 those other Ice types get. While it doesn't eliminate a weakness, gaining an extra immunity is always really nice. Of the others, 4 of them are inferior due to the situational nature of needing weather support, Snow Warning also hurts most of your teammates, and Weak Armor is just low tier, especially on an Ice type.

      I don't particularly like the designs, but it should be noted that like most pokemon that wear "clothes" their karate outfits are some kind of extra layer of skin, i.e. they are part of their body just like with Hitmonchan rather than actual clothing. They also are inspired by Japanese oni and the whole "red oni/blue oni" dichotomy.

The new regional variant MIGHT get spotlight, but again, that's exclusive to that regional variant, not Delibird itself. (Also regional variants are a bad concept)

    • @emperorcubone
      @emperorcubone  ปีที่แล้ว

      The regional variant is at least considered the same Pokemon, according to the Dex none of the Paradox Pokemon are related to the others. They have completely separate numbers so it's a totally different Pokemon pretending to be another one, like Wugtrio, when really you're just outright ignoring it in favor of a new option! If you want a new Pokemon that's fine, just at least be honest about it, since Great Tusk does nothing for Donphan itself.

      Paradox Pokemon are representations of what they used to be in the past and how they will be in the future, they are the same Pokemon but things change. I never claimed Great Tusk did anything for Donphan, you however did claim a regional variant does something for the original when in reality it does not.
