Why can't people on /vp/ make arguments that aren't strawman bullshit? Does everyone here have the mentality of a child?

Nigga we are adults quarreling about a child game on an anime board

So true. If Pokemon were as great of a monster catching game as it supposedly is according to millions of IQ 100 midwits, there wouldn't be any such thing as shitmons. I understand gens 1 and 2 being as sketchy as they were, but you'd think after over 20 whole years that GF would have learned how to make a game by now. Alas. Sad.

The sad thing is that it's not even a strawman, some people unironically believe that some Pokemon should be useless even though 99% of the gameplay in single player and multiplayer is battles. If all Pokemon were important to Game Freak like they say they are then "shitmon" as a concept wouldn't exist.

Because /v/edditors invaded this board en-mass and they're mentally incapable of communicating in any way other than stale memes and ebin buzzwords.

This may come off as a strawman, but that wasn't my intention. I was referencing how some people on here sprout out the meme of how Pokémon is an RPG and that some Pokémon are supposed to be straight-up shit, in every "how would you buff X" thread in existence.

The worst part is that kids, the target audience, never follow the intended progression. There's no point in the early route bugs being shit because kids don't even use them. They just blast through the game with their starters.
GF could make every Pokemon good and the target audience wouldn't even notice the difference.

That's where ROM hacks and fan games come in. The community knows what's right when it comes to buffing Pokémon that need it most.

I feel like the game would be really fucking boring if not for shitmons. Trying to work around the flaws of your bros is much more fun than going onto imageboards and screeching how they should get perfect type coverage and an extra 50 points in all their stats. You try to make every Pokemon viable and suddenly you're stuck with so many that play the same or require so little thought to use.

Shitmons add an optional difficulty to the single player campaign, and personally I think it's okay for some pokemon to exist purely for world building.

Well in Gen 4 the Standard Staraptor+Starter core is so strong that it just shits on the story.

issue is that

-some mons movesets are so bad you can't do shit
-some are gotten way too late or evolve to late
-often times it's pointless since you might as well just sweep with a better mon instead.
-Trying to make slow frail shitmon work is annoying. Especially since compared to just using faster mon you just end up soaking more hits and needing to burn items on them.

some pokemon will always be worse than legendaries, so they'll be regarded as shitmons next

Not once there was a good suggestion.
It was always either brainless minmaxing or abilities that are broken and/or don't make any sense.

Exactly.
So how would it hurt to make something like Kricketune or Luxray actually good?
Kids aren't gonna care.
