Gengar is the only Pokémon that comes to mind as not being a clear aesthetic upgrade over its previous evolutionary stage.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Gengar is a recoloured Clefable.

Uh, Dragonite exists. Cool blue dragon-snake, cooler blue dragon snake, then bam! Derp the Orange Dragon with a gut, out of nowhere...

[-] mienshao@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Are you serious!? First of all, Haunter is indeed S-tier design, but so is Gengar???

Here’s a list of a FEW middle evos who have far better designs than their first/last evos: Wartortle, Dragonair, Arctibax, Dolliv, Rhydon, Dottler — I could go on….!

Am ready, willing, and able to fight to the death over these opinions, so come at me!!!

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

Going from Haunter to Gengar, they added arms and legs and big square teeth. All of which are functionally unnecessary for a ghost. And the overall aesthetic went from "scary" to "goofy".

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Goofy kinda makes sense, if you go by their highlight episode they premiered in (not counting ep.1 for Gengar).

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

But they're so cute ♥️

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hermesturtle is a worse design than Blastoise IMO. Looks like water/flying

[-] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 week ago

There is no way you just said that

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Wartortle only makes sense to me if Blastoise was water/flying imo

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Charmander: young and cute

Charizard: powerful grown up

Charmeleon: angsty teenager

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Middle-child syndrome.

Also, this meme makes me want to pirate some Nintendo games. Off to illegally download some roms from 1992. Good time to sell some stock bc as soon as they realized I downloaded SNES Mario All-stars, the market value is gunna crash so hard.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

How is Nintendo going to feed its family now?

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

In the words of our billionaire elite overlords, "fuck them kids!"

[-] aoidenpa@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Nintendo is the surname of the founder? Didn't know that.

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

First and second name, actually. Nintendo Nintendo was the reason why one of the Mario brothers is named Mario. Mario Mario is based on Nintendo Nintendo.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, Bulbasaur.

A lot of teenagers don't like being in photos, I never did. When I got older, I was to lazy to move out of the frame, and charmander aged me was like fuck it life is great

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I love me some Dark Charmeleon.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Okay, yeah, you are hitting me right in the feels with the nostalgia. The Pokémon trading game was my jam growing up! I conned more than a few 6 year olds out of their holographic mew and Charizard cards by convincing them my cards were rarer...im not proud of it...well, maybe a little.

Edit: Okay, chill ya'll I did this like once when I was 11. The whole coment was a joke. Do you really think im actually proud of something dumb I did almost 25 years ago? Really think about that for a second. And if you answer yes, this dude is actually proud of that, then your social skills aren't that great.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

im not proud of it...well, maybe a little.

I stopped finding those cards fun because of someone like you. Gross to be proud of doing that to somebody.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I was like 11, and it was mostly a joke, chill man. We weren't allowed to trade Pokémon cards anymore after than. And also, people did it to me, which is the only reason I did it to someone else.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Are you still 11? Cause current you is the one bragging about it. And continuing the cycle of shitiness does fuck all to justify it. If you really regretted it, you could actually show remorse instead of making a "joke" about all the kids you scammed and making endless excuses about it.

[-] Undaunted@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Dude, it's frickin trading card game! It's not that their proud of punching someone in the face. Stop being so salty about it.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It was one time, like 24 years ago dude... and it was like two kids. Like, damn man, whatever happened to you must have really scarred you to be arguing with a stranger on the internet over it.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I must be emotionally damaged to be bothered by people bragging about being shitty to others 🙄

Keep making excuses. It doesn't change anything.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I mean yeah, you took a very clear joke and are berating me over it.. whatever this is, it's about you dude, not me.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Turns out you don't get to normalize being shitty without rebuke.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dude, why are you still going? Seriously...

Are you for really trying to tell me that something i did when I was 11 is some moral failing of mine? Gtfo of here with that shit. If you keep this up imma just block you.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago

I'm saying what you're doing currently is a problem. And I'm "still going" because you're still attempting to normalize it and you keep trying to paint me as mentally damaged because I dare to point that out.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Okay, blocked. This was fun, let's do it again sometime.

[-] match@pawb.social 0 points 1 week ago

which is weird because meleon is the most fuckable

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they're large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there's no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it'd be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

I have a Bulbasaur plush, there is a Venusaur plush, all I want is an Ivysaur plush!!

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Same. Ivysaur is my favorite Pokémon, and it's nigh impossible to find good Ivysaur collectables without searching them out on Etsy or something.

as a wartortle fan i feel ya

Really? Over Squirtle Squad? Not likely. Wartortle is still great, though!
