>>46826318All your examples are even more spurious than Steelix and Lopunny except for maybe Hippowdon>Lopunny which is already the DP ace of the previous E4 member, your Bibarel logic applies to Lopunny, and Solrock and Flygon weren't even in the DP dex. Some of your examples can't even learn any Fire moves except for Sunny Day. If you think they chose those 3 mons for literally no reason then I can flip the question back at you and ask why those 3 in particular? And it's definitely not for balance because not only is trying to make a balanced team with non-Fire types for a mono Fire user contradictory, but 3/5 of them are still weak to Water nor do they have any Water type coverage (unless you cope by saying Sunny Day) anyway. So that leads me to believe they tried to make do with the shit distribution by at least creating a faint theme for the Fire type specialist. In summation, you are a pseudointellectual.
