This is the part of the thread where we talk about how great Zeroth is. He gave me a shiny Torchic, Beldum, and Zorua (all with perfect IVs), all for nothing. How awesome is that?

I could do that too

with my flash cart

 

[Neki]

Levitate wont help it with its Stealth Rock weakness!

This is true, but by the time it's already in, it's already set up on you! Fire/Dragon has good coverage to, besides on Fire/Steel.

This is true, he gave me my shiny dratini with multi-scale and helped me try to learn RNG (didn't work). He also gave me a bunch of other shiny pokemon I can't remember, and he even promised me a shiny Rotom one day!

I need to think of a black and white 2 team. Either run the pre-evolved version of my team, or run all dragons. ALL DRAGONS.

 

[Kokonoe]

Kingdra/Palkia have the best typing for defense.

I can personally attest to Zeroth's awesomeness. He's among the finest men I know; and I know many a fine man.

I'm start to think best typing is most resists, even if you neutrally get hit for something, unless you're bulky, it's going to hurt. So let's go with Magnezone, with Electric/Steel.

That is quite the amount of resistances, but it having fighting as a one of it's weaknesses is a pretty big weakness to have due to how popular fighting types are. Of course you can switch out, but still.

Cool shiny.

Well aren't you special.

Magnezone+Salamence/Gyarados resist every move in the game.

BEFORE ANYONE HAS A HEART ATTACK: THIS WAS FANMADE

A remake (or even spin-off) like this would be cool.

 

[Zeroth]

and he even promised me a shiny Rotom one day!

Pretty sure I gave you one already! I don't have any more, bu if you didn't get one I can send you mine.

Be still, my beating heart.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I-It's not like I wanna battle you or anything. Baka!

 

[Exterminieren]

You see? A toned down version of that is the future.

Fuck yo' 3D models.

Naw, you didn't give me one. You promised me one then a wild sister appeared and you never traded me one.

 

[Zeroth]

Naw, you didn't give me one. You promised me one then a wild sister appeared and you never traded me one.

Oh, right. Okay, get on IRC and we'll set this straight

 

[Chet Rippo]

Fuck yo' 3D models.

The 3D revolution is here.

Spoiler

this is more what I would want to see in the future.

 

[Kokonoe]

3D is here!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Those fan made shots look horrible, 3D would be horrible, I have confidence in Game Freak's spritemakers.

 

[MikeMyers]

If they remake RSE they better make the rival better. The rival doesn't even fully evolve their starter in RSE.

 

[Zeroth]

Spoiler

So you want your very own waifu.

Huh, about them....

 

[Kokonoe]

I have confidence in their still battle sprites, including the ones in Black and White.

 

[Emitan]

Who doesn't?

 

[Zeroth]

Who doesn't?

Boney.

Spoiler

He's his own waifu.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Heh that fan made remake doesn't look too bad. Could be better but whatever.

 

[Exterminieren]

Spoiler

Eww, anime.

Spoiler

Looks pretty neat; could see a style like that working.

So why/how did Pikachu become the de facto mascot of the series, above everything else?

 

[Kokonoe]

So why/how did Pikachu become the de facto mascot of the series, above everything else?

Why is Call of Duty popular?

 

[Emitan]

because he's cuter than poliwhirl

 

[Chet Rippo]

Android killer app.

That's a lie and you know it.

 

[Stage On]

Why is Call of Duty popular?

Because everyone has to heed the Call of "Duty" now and again if you catch my drift.

 

[Busaiku]

Why is Call of Duty popular?

But Pikachu doesn't have guns.

 

[Kokonoe]

But Pikachu doesn't have guns.

Pikachu's gun is that it's "cute". It's name is catchy, and it's color scheme is easy to identify.

 

[Exterminieren]

So why/how did Pikachu become the de facto mascot of the series, above everything else?

Cute, marketable, and with a bit of an edge for the boys with the electricity.

Pikachu is a master class in mascot design, it really is. I don't care whether Clefairy was originally planned to be the mascot or whatever, but Pikachu's perfect for the job.

 

[MikeMyers]

Clefairy was better suited as mascot.

COME AT ME BRO.

 

[Kokonoe]

Bulbasaurus for mascot.

 

[Busaiku]

But what about Eevee.

 

[Emitan]

But what about Eevee.

Eevee is so cute

 

[Kokonoe]

Eevee's color isn't as drawing as yellow.

 

[Exterminieren]

Clefairy was better suited as mascot.

COME AT ME BRO.

I say that Pokemon wouldn't have been anywhere near as popular in the West with Clefairy in place of Pikachu.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

You don't want a doormat for a mascot.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Clefairy was better suited as mascot.

COME AT ME BRO.

It is. Fuck Pikachu.

 

[Stage On]

Pikachu's gun is that it's "cute". It's name is catchy, and it's color scheme is easy to identify.

Plus who can forget his Song

Pikachu!
You know there is no other...
I choose you!
Because you are my brother...

 

[Kokonoe]

I'd say the line of Charmander could have been a mascot, but they weren't the main Pokemon character.

 

[Boney]

talk about a non sequitur

Boney.

Spoiler

He's his own waifu.

I do love myself

 

[Kokonoe]

talk about a non sequitur

Both are easily approachable, it makes sense.

 

[Gravijah]

Pikachu is a unique design that stands out, is really cute, and the anime really gave it a lot of personality.

 

[backlot]

I say that Pokemon wouldn't have been anywhere near as popular in the West with Clefairy in place of Pikachu.

Just give Clefairy angry eyes.

 

[MikeMyers]

It is. Fuck Pikachu.

Agreed.

Clefable was my main in Leaf Green.

My Leaf Green team was awesome:
~ Clefable
~ Gyarados
~ Flareon
~ Zapdos
~ Dewgong
~ Tyranitar

 

[Stage On]

Pikachu strong enough for a man, cute enough for a woman.

I never would have touched Pokemon if Clefairy had been the Mascot when it came out. It would be way to girly

 

[Busaiku]

But why didn't the cartoon go with Eevee or something as the main Pokemon.
I mean Eevee represents the franchise much better, since it's normal, but can evolve into all sorts of different types.

I can understand why Clefairy wasn't accepted though.
It's too fairy for its own good.

Boys don't like fairies.

They wouldn't evolve Eevee anyway.
