>>47334545The downside to being a fan of an unpopular pokemon is that not only do you have fewer fans to share interests with, but you are made to be either silenced or ridiculed by the majority. You're treated as either a shit-eater, a genfanboy or an contrarian and if you express your grievances about it, then you're the seething one. You lose, either way. This is not exclusive to Emboar, but I feel like this happens to pretty much all fire type starters since him. You can't like Delphox, Incineroar or Cinderace, because here on /vp/, they're deemed to be bad and you can't deviate from the hivemind at all.
