No idea, but I'll never forgive Emboar for taking Samurott's Fighting type.

>Takes advantage of Physical/Special, pretty cool design, works very well

>Emboar
>Boring, nothing interesting, gimmick, outclassed by Serperior and isn't as cool as Samurott. Should've been Fire/Dark IMO.

The only reason people hate the trio is because Emboar ruins it. If it were just Blaziken and Infernape, it would've been appriciated a lot more.

Blaziken: Based on fighting chickens.
Infernape: Based on Sun Wukong; goes hand in hand with Sinnoh starters' mythology theme.
Emboar: Based on Zhu Baije, a major antagonist in Journey of the West. Has similar design and patterns on body as Infernape. Was made Fire/Fighting to show this connection.

Why are starters always color coded? water starters are always blue, grass starters are always green, and fire starters are always red. Fucking mix it up game freak.

I'm not really seeing any connection as to why it would be other than the moderately intimidating appearance and predominant black fur coloring, which hardly means much i the personality doesn't really reflect. It even understands and practices camaraderie according to the Pokedex as well as fighting discipline.

It's sadly one of only two even type triangle where each corner resists one and is weak to the other without any immunities in the mix or cucking the Normal-type in the process (the other triangle is Poison > Grass > Ground).

people bringing up that he’s Zeeju Baji or whatever isn’t in good defense of Emboar, who gives a shit what it’s based on if it’s fighting type again and looks like a clusterfuck of zigzags

That one actually doesn't work. Ground doesn't resist itself.

Rock-Flying-Bug works though since they're all neutral to themselves.

sadly Rock is resistant to Normal attacks which fucks up your first battle with your rival or whatever at the beginning. All those scratches, tackles and pounds in a level 5 vs 5 battle won't hurt the Rock starter as much as the other two. I guess the only truly even triangle is Grass > Water > Fire after all.

Type triangles like Rock-Flying-Bug, Poison-Grass-Ground, Rock-Flying-Fighting, etc. aren't as "flashy" and "colorful" compared to Fire-Water-Grass and thus don't appeal to children.

Because it's the easiest Type Trio that can be conveyed to children and brainlets compared to any other combination Pokemon currently provides.
Grass soaks Water, Water douses Fire, and Fire burns Grass. It's straightforward and takes absolutely no thinking to understand.

Even if that was true though, that would have justified fighting on samurott rather than emboar since samurai always fought on the front lines unlike generals.

he's notable as the only party member in the end to not be pardoned for his past crimes since he still gives in to temptation but he doesn't say, betray the party or anything like that.
