Mods, please sticky this.

It was a long war, it was a hard war. We had to fight an entire fanbase, Gamefreak's incompetence, and a global smear campaign.

But the results are in:

>ZA sales down 40% to 60% compared to Legends Arceus
>Tepig (the intruder shillmon, blaziken at home) is chosen even less than Chikorita has been revealed to be a major problem starter, with its proponents beginning starter civil war for no reason
>Feraligatr's mega turns him into a human toilet fetish
>Meganium remains as irrelevant as ever, no one would remember it exists if it weren't for the occasional shilling

This release is the MOST CATASTROPHIC in the history of Pokémon, and the first time it is met with overwhelming, unanimous and loud repudiation from the entire gaming community both in Japan and the West.

Caesar himself couldn't have conjured a victory as complete as Typhlosion's. Its enemies lie in shambles, fighting each other over a pile of excrement that is Legends ZA. Never in the history of humanity has a TRIUMPH so COMPLETE.

Typhlosionbros, we did nothing. And we won. We dodged a cannon ball, and they might even break the emergency glass, bend over backwards to give us the mega out of sheer DESPERATION.

I'll be drinking champagne tonight to celebrate the Phlosion. Post cute pictures of the TRUE FIRE STARTER of JOHTO.
