>>15503002Holy crap, THIS!
I remember back in Sep 29th when it was the first final starter evo that was leaked. I was never a huge fan of Froakie, was leaning for Chespin myself, though i reserved it as a plan B. It went something along these lines:
>Hey guys! I work for John Gamefreak. Here's the final evo for Froakie.>I immediately think that it's one of the coolest starter final evos i've seen. My opinion is definitely swayed onto this badass, but i need some official art to set it in stone because, y'now, it was a blurry low quality screenshot.>/vp/ collectively loses their shit>MUH BUBBLES!>TOTALLY FAKE!>Among the expected wave of fakes, i was just hoping this glorious bastard was legit.>Some days later, after a lot of butthurt and discussion, Greninjamie pics spawn.>CONFIRMED AF! Look at that kawaii nigga!>Secretly hope that my new starter will be viable, but i honestly don't care much because i'll roll with him either way.>Steamroll the entire game with him.>HOLY SHIT GREATEST OF BROS!>Discover Protean later.>HE ACTUALLY>GETS>EVEN>BETTER>All these mind games! I've never had so much fun playing Pokemon.>Now everyone and their mother uses one>I'm happy i made the right choice.I was 9 years old when i started Red for the first time. I give props to GF for creating my now personal favorite Pokemon of all time +15 years into the franchise. It might be a bit dissapointing to see some people might only use him for competitive purposes and not because they actually like the guy, but i'm happy that such a cool poke is getting this much love.
