looks like people shitposting about gen 5 starters again
just a friendly reminder that common criticisms of the gen 5 starters are actually forced circlejerked memes here on /vp/
>popularity
means nothing about design quality
> blablabla third fire fighter in a row
The order that the fire fighters came out matters now? What if Emboar came before them with an identical design? Everyone would hate infernape. Objectively, ignoring release date, Emboar has the most creative design.
>inb4 just a man but fat
Every other fire starter’s more humanoid
>cluttered
Less cluttered than most other fire starters and the themes doesn’t hijak the fucking design. You see an animalistic monster before whatever fucking job it is
>samurott
It can stand
It can stand
It can fucking stand
>b-but it doesn’t look like it can-
It can stand
>t-top heavy!
Nope. Balanced. Unlike empoleon, blastoise, or even swampert, who all shouldn’t be capable of standing because PHYSICS that apparently only apply to samurott, falsely at that. On the contrary, charizard and decideye shouldn't fly due to their wing to weight ratio, and greninja and inteleon should snap under their own weight and not walk around like normal. Physics never mattered in this franchise and these are all okay to have in a fictional monster series.
>l-looks like plastic!
Like every mon. Blame poorly executed 3d
>swords
They go into the flap of skin that’s behind the scabbards, because the scabbards are part of its body. Nothing’s growing or shrinking, and even if it was, it’s fucking Pokémon. Fucking Arceus and eternatus can fit in your pocket.
>Serperior
Is based
The narrative that starters went downhill at gen 5 and not 6 is false and desperately needs to be retired, but everyone knows this is /vp/.
