>>51591942Anon, the thing it was based off was a man in a rubber suit, "muh kiagu" crap aside and nidoking's a manlet. Stop pedestalising the past because it existed before you started shitting on the thing please. The franchise has moved on from shilling at your generatuon and you cunts paved the way here, so stop bitching about it. *I* wasn't watching the toy advert, buying the cards, the plastic kiddy crap or 70m worth of spin-off shite games like you and your schoolbuddies were, normalising humanoid pokémon starters (as sugi said they specifically pushed the boat with Gen 3 then adopted it as its reception with the core audience married with the recepton from the previous wo).
