>>22859609I don't enjoy the salt as much as i enjoy apparent justice.
I remember loving this bastard since the moment he was leaked in Sep 29th 13. The design was creative and standout and i instantly knew he was gonna be in my team no matter what. But when the amie screens popped up a couple of day later, it genuinely became my favorite pokemon since i started following the franchise nearly 20 years ago.
When some started that it would rot in RU with those stats and typing, i didn't care. When people were saying that his supposed HA would switch his type AFTER the attack, rendering him unable to get Stab on anything while the other 2 reportedly got a Sp Def. version of Fur Coat and a defense buff in every turn, i didn't care.
So when i saw that he was the clear starter forerunner even before the game release, it felt nice that he was being appreciated.
When a month later, polls were being conducted and it ended up voted best kalos-mon in each one of them some even landing it in Top 20 all-time Pokes, it felt great.
When the simple "i'd like to see this cool thing in Smash Bros" pipe-dream actually managed to become a reality, well, it felt incredible.
Since most of my previous favorites were often overlooked, seeing such overwhelming love for my new fave felt awesome, as if universal justice were shutting up all the naysayers.
In the end it was all good. And it felt good too.
