>>19989338I like some of the gen IV evos. Electivire, Roserade, Gallade, Froslass, maybe Dusknoir. On the other hand, I loved Lickitung and Rhydon a hella lot more before they were NFEs.
>lets your old bros use evioliteFirst of all, Eviolite didn't exist back then. Second, fuck you. I use fully-evolved pokémon on my team. Maybe I'm just too autistic, or not autistic enough.
People seem to have this feeling that "if you don't like it, don't use it" is an acceptable justification in this context. I mean, it works when we're talking about, for example, Gothitelle vs. Volcarona, because I'm not (necessarily) putting myself at a disadvantage by picking more beautiful of the two, Volcarona. On the other hand, I don't want to disadvantage myself mechanically by using Lickitung over Lickilicky, but I don't want to use an ugly pokémon - so into the trash they go.
One thing I don't understand is why I don't feel this way when comparing, say, Pidgeot to Swellow. Even if one's better mechanically, I won't feel bad about using the other.
