>>46636389>bunch of pokemon shit competitively isnt proofMay not be proof but its pretty strong evidence that something is going on. Even if it's not Lame Freak as a whole, there's obviously someone that hates either Kansai or just doesn't like Johtomons. There are far too many Johtomons that are irredeemably useless for it to just be mistake.
Typhlosion was basically set up to fail. Its has Charizards stats without the insane movepool, special snowflake forms, and shilling so it never measure up in terms of completive viability. The most retarded part is that literally all it needs is Earth Power and couple utility moves for it to least be a respectable fire type with its own identity out side of"worse charizard lmao", but instead it gets "Do not ever use this Pokemon with the intent of winning games"
Meganium is the single most useless starter the franchise has made because Venusaur hogs all the good powder moves while Meganium only gets Poison Power (a shitty version of Toxic). Even basic shit like Leech Seed is an Egg move it only gets from Venusaur and a few others.
Ledian is clearly based on a Kamen Rider in terms of appearance, yet Lame Freak decided it should be only have 35atk. They give it Iron Fist so they KNOW it should be able to attack but they couldn't be arsed to actually give it more Atk. Even if it's supposed to be a supporter, it can't do that either because of its shit HP and Defense.
Delibird is worse than Farfetch'd even though Farfecth''s entire concept is being a Jokemon that sucks.
Stantler got more respect Pokemon Go in a couple years than Lame Freak gave it in 2 decades (it got a bell costume for Christmas because PoGo actually has SOUL)
Girafarig
Sunflora
Unown (only one move that got moved from the games for possibly forever).
There are too many examples for this to be an accident, especially since Gen II has so few new Pokémon that got introduced.
