>>37593704Lol yes I forget this.
>>37593791you sanctimonious CUNT. The autism around justifying its whole shitfest stats based on its fucking appearance in the gym. Fuck its moveset. LOOK AT IT. Its outhit by a fucking radish!! Bind being threatening is balanced on a single instance of its encounter, it makes it utterr utter shite for the rest of the game because the GIANT ROCK SNAKE can't hit for shit.
It's one thing, looking at say Jumpluff and thinking, yeah this things not built for attacking but its fast and learns annoying status moves. (FYI, it's attack is still fucking higher than Onix), it's another catching this thing after seeing Brock using it and its absolutely awful.
Even in Gen 1, Onix's very high defence is no excuse for how utter shit it's stats are in general: Cloyster has 20 more defence, highest in gen 1 and still has usable attacking stats and its faster! Even aside from this its design itself warrants it being able to hit things with at least ssome strength or power, no? I'm not saying it should be some 120 Attack monster, I'm saying its just so *bad* yet is so exceptional in gen 1 for its massive size.
I just can't fathom how one mon is so utterly gimped completely around it's placing in the game. Look at fucking BEASTLY Starmie at gym 2!
There is just no fucking reason for it to be so dogshite. Bind is not enough to justify a HP and Attack that low compared to the above example of Starmie who is gym 2 and yet has huge stats.
