>>46138571>>46138634>>46138626This thread got me thinking about why seeing Typhlosionfags scramble to buff their shitmon is so entertaining and I think its a matter of why people like Typhlosion.
I will openly admit I'm a Chikoritafag, I love it, its my favorite starter and secondmost favorite Pokemon overall. Meganium sucks ASS competitively but I can cope with that. I can make peace with that, because the appeal of Chikorita/Meganium isn't its ability in battle. It's a cute Pokemon that I wanna put in my pocket, and that's all it needs to be.
But for Typhlosionfags, the appeal is that is a cool, badass, edgy explosive Pokemon that looks so strong! And it's fucking easymode in Johto too, it has a type advantage over half the gyms so you can beat the game without even thinking because your Typlosion is so awesome and cool!
But then reality hits, and your cool, overpowered starter isn't actually that strong at all, in fact, it fucking sucks HARD among other fire types and ESPECIALLY among other starters. Tyhplosionfags CANNOT cope with their epic fire bro being shit tier and so they'll go to any lengths to try to force it into viability so it can be the cool powerhouse it was always meant to be.
Give it Earth Power, give it Morning Sun, give it No Guard! Please, god, make it usable! It has literally nothing going for it if it's not usable in battle! Please!
And then they'll scream and shout and curse Zard's name while also demanding GF make its fire spikes active 24/7 because they also cannot cope with Typlosion being a fucking éclair like that other anon said. They've been at it for years with no signs of stopping.
I think that's where the humor lies. Typlosionfags are the Pokefan equivalent of Chris-chan cursing every guy that has a girlfriend while seething about Sonic's arm color. Your shitmon will never, EVER be viable.
