Most fighting types are usually very emotional and show-offy. That said, I also like the master-aprentice dynamic, with Meditite still not being quite there. I think it has story potential.
Lucario and Mienshao are also like this but I think I prefer the simplified humanoid design for fighting types (Throh is another favorite of mine for these reasons). I also like the other extreme of this, with primal beast-like pokemon like Tyranitar and Aggron.
In other words: Ultraman vs. Godzilla.
