Quoted By:
>Gen 1
8 fighting types with maybe 2-3 questionable connections assuming you are too dense to accept a berserker and you wish to exclude sports and athletics (62.5% - 75% have direct martial arts connection)
>Gen 2
3 new fighting types, excluding Heracross even if it's obviously related to beetle or bug fighting (67% have direct martial arts connection)
>Gen 3
7 new Pokemon with perhaps Breloom having the vaguest connection despite punching extremely well (85.7% have direct connections to martial arts)
>Gen 4
7 new pokemon, with perhaps aura as the questionable concept when it comes to martial arts (71.4% have direct cues with martial arts)
>Gen 5
16 new Fighting type pokemon. Even if you discard the four musketeers because it's not visually obvious, or Meloetta-P's dance, or if you think Emboar line should be dark, you still have 9 new pokemon with clear martial arts inspiration (56.25%, still above half and that's already taking into account if you are excluding any form of athletic activities)
Fast forward to
>Gen 9
13 new fighting types, 2 of which are rehash of Hariyama and Gallade but sure, we'll count them as having martial arts connection. If we are excluding Mankey line from Gen 1 as tards here argue, then Annihilape won't count. Tauros has probably the best excuse due to bullfighting but if we are excluding the swords of justice from Gen 5 due to aesthetics, then the three Tauros should also be excluded here. Which leaves us the gay duck, which while it kicks like Blaziken, is more festive and more connected to dancing (we excluded Meloetta P due to dance), the Pawmi lines, and the controversial Flamigo, and all other quirky "animal but strong". So what that's 2 out of 13? (15%)
If you really can't notice the disparity, I have nothing else to say.
