>>27430541>Bigoted and small mindedWhen infernape was announced, I welcomed it openly, because they were doing another take on the Fighting element.
I didn't mind at first, but it ended up playing like blaziken 2.0. same type of moves, same type of build.
When Emboar was announced as Fighting, I was disappointed but I still gave it a shot.
In game, my best to use it differently.
GameFreak was nice enough to give it wild charge and Scald, but it still played like a slower blaziken.
Now we're supposed to get this thing?
There is no way it won't play like every other one, regardless of if it becomes Dark. It will still get a ton of fighting moves and the only that separates it from Machamp and the likes is that this one will knee you in the groin.
>>27430558Grass type starters have pokémon on two legs, four legs and no legs and all of them have different playstyles and movepools. No two are alike.
Same goes for water types.
All fire types are hyper offensive frail attackers with 3 of them being chicken, pig, and monkey reskins with a couple stats shuffled around.
Typhlosion even has the exact same base stats as Charizard.
The water and grass starters are all uniquely designed for battle and in aesthetics.
To say something like buizel and oshawott are even similar is balls on head retarded.
We already have a humanoid wrestler with a champion's belt. If this doesn't get the same or similar moves Machamp does, you'd be disappointed. It's just another reskin and saying, "this one's different because he's a meanie" is mind numbingly retarded.
