Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Nah, Victini would remain the same if you just hacked the Liberty Pass.

Snivy is clearly the best-designed of the starting evolutions. Dewott is pretty cool, being an otter-samurai, and Servine is showing its royal aspects, while Pignite looks like a pudgy kid pretending he's a wrestler. And the final evolutions, Serperior clearly takes the cake, being a Chinese dragon based on French royalty.

Which 1) is still hacking, and 2) is pointless.

No. You really need to stop with the false statements. Seriously.

You didn't even actually support Snivy. You said it was the best just because. 😆

Serperior is a snake, not a dragon. Emboar is based on Zhu Bajie, and is therefore > Serperior as Mammals are > Reptiles.

Lauren Faust did not create The Iron Giant or Quest For Camelot. She did however animate them. 😛

Her writing credentials come from Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

You douche! 😄

Well, from a purely gameplay perspective, Tepig would be the best starter. The gyms are designed so that Tepig would have the easiest time with them and he does learn a variety of moves to help. Snivy is actually the worst in this regard I am afraid, if only cause Grass has a lot of weaknesses and his move pool is for shit.

That said, I certainly prefer Oshawott over both designs. Yes, his final evolution is disappointing but it is honestly not as bad as one might think. I have seen worse. Between the two, I prefer Snivy in terms of design. They did a good job of making him look like he is putting on airs (which he is). Tepig....Fire/Fighting type is old. Infernape was forgivable but after that they should have left it alone for a while.

...

Beard. Of. Fire.

Can't believe you actually think that Marklar is a better marklar than Marklar.

If it actually looked like a real beard, sure. It really doesn't.

How the **** could it possibly look like a real beard? It's made of ****ing Fire. 😆

It's not the fire. It's the position of the fire. It looks like a necklace of fire.

THE POWER OF THE MIGHTY NECKBEARD!

So you're mad at the Fire for obeying the principles of heat and rising?

You're defending principles of real world physics in ****ing Pokemon? Are you serious?

Beard. And awesome stache.

Not so much.

Why do all these 3rd forms look old?

No, I'm questioning the logic behind being displeased with something that makes complete sense. Kind of the opposite of what you're doing right now.

What do you want, a big long one like Guan Yu or Dumbledore made of Fire? 'cause that'd probably look terrible made of fire.

"Why is Guan Yu's body on fire in a straight line from his testicles to his chin?"

^ Would look like flaming chest hair..

A series that does not need logical reasoning to be pleasing can certainly support someone being displeased with something that is, while logical, also stupid.

It's Pokemon. Most of the time it runs on Rule of Cool. For example, any fish Pokemon on land, most of the attacks, Potions, berries, etc.

Doesn't sound like Rule of Cool. Sounds more like Rule of Not Getting ****ed Over With That Fish Pokemon Because It'd Be Worthless In Most Battles Since They're On Land. Potions don't sound like Rule of Cool either. Welcome to a world with Time Machines, artificially created life forms, and plastic hollow spheres that can change a being's state of matter and allow it to fit into said sphere no matter how large it is.

There's another thing. It isn't even stupid. It's actually really badass. 😐

Not really. It is rather forgettable actually. Since I own an Emboar, that is sad. 😮

It's amazing how I'm the one with no taste here. Lmfao.

Considering you just used a lamer version of lol, you do lack taste.

That and you hate Mark Twain.
