It's really really weird to me that these two fell into obscurity. I mean, they're not my style, personally, but I'm shocked they aren't fan favorites. They had A+ designs and concept.

I don't think they're all too obscure, people bring them up a lot (Especially when someone brings up another bear mon) and they've both been in recent Sun and Moon trailers too

It's just a shame they got introduced in the generation that gave their type combination a 4x weakness to a new and popular type.

Pangoro being fat turned me off of the line. It's really not what I wanted from a Bancho mon, and I really was hyped for Pancham too.

I know that. But when I think of Bancho I think of strong, burly and intimidating. Pangoro just feels... like he has a beer gut. I would have preferred a body type like Ursaring.

It's weird since I feel the same way as I love the bancho character archetype but didn't feel Pangoro really appealed to me. Maybe this is why. Bancho are typically pretty big and built like a brick house, but it's more a square or rectangular kind of bulk, rather than rounded like Pangoro. Maybe that's why I don't care for it.

It's not really obscure so much as 'introduced in the wrong generation due to fairies and general introduction of megas that overshadow it completely'. I bet you anything the two panda mons, Pangoro and Bewear, are basically two sides of the same coin.

A lot of mons don't get the coverage or attention they need to really stick out, but it's not really anything we can fix.

It does has parting shot as a gimmick, but yeah they didn't give it anything to take advantage of its abilities and scrafty does a better job at being a slow dark/fighting even after the fairies.

Scafty is inferior offensively. There is little reason to use it over the Panda outside of it's defensive potential.

Not lying when I say that Pangoro is my favorite Pokémon. Fell in love with him immediately and used him on my play through of X and used him every chance I got. Amazing design. Just everything about him is 10/10.

Least favorite Pokémon? Ambipom. Completely ruined Aipom for me.

All three of the bear mons are just sort of "there". You know what they are, they fill in an important niche, but at the end of the day, they're the "Bear Pokemon. Because there needs to be a Pokemon that's a bear."

Pangoro is just Scrafty but better. Gunk Shot + Parting Shot + being a wallbreaker that can OHKO M-Sableye are all things that the lizard lacks.

They're different things. Pangoro is a wallbreaker while Scrafty is a bulky set-up sweeper, or just bulky.

They did a poll, and it turned out to be the least liked starter of all time. I've been watching the anime and they completely go out of there way to make the entire line look like a bunch of assholes. Chespin shows up and he's a stubborn prick that eats everyone's food to the point of obesity, which happens multiple times, the middle form shows up to literally try and tentacle rape serena's eevee with vine whip, and I'm sitting here thinking "well this probably why they don't like the line despite it looking better then shit like meganium or delphox".

Chesnaught should be hated everywhere. I loved Chespin but that thing is a fucking abomination.

The sad thing is it could be so much better if it weren't for the atrocious color palette that makes it look like a mummy. See attached for what it should have looked like.
