"Shillmon" is a stupid complaint

Imagine being upset that GF markets their stuff using Pokemon people actually like. /vp/ complaining about "shillmons" reeks of contrarianism/hating popular things to try and look cool.

    I don't like Charizard. It's literally just a lumpy red gote with wings and isn't even a dragon.

    the implication is that they are more popular because of the additional publicity they receive from gamefreak, not the other way around

      yeah bro I'm sure your obese overdesigned neckbeard pig would suddenly be popular if charizard wasn't shilled

        This post feels like cope.

        My favorites are pretty popular, at least as far as Pokemon is concerned, I don't really care.

        Although it does get kind of tiresome to see the same pokemon over and over when there's so many you could give the spotlight to.

          If any pokemon doesn't get the spotlight, it never deserved it in the first place.

        Considering Game Freak themselves considered “neckbeard pig” to be worthy of being the fire starter of Masuda’s Magnum opus and part of exclusive club of the BW dex allowing it to shine in a region with KANTOOOOOOmons robbing the spotlight, it would probably be next in line for popularity if CHARIZARD didn’t exist

        Why is it ALWAYS Unova?

          Because Discucks and Sharteens never played a Unova game.

    There's no need to keep injecting already popular Pokemon into a product, when you should be trying to make the new shit popular instead.

      Why take a risk, when you can shill the proven moneymakers over again? GF learned their lesson from the poor reception gen 5 dex got. Pikachu, Charizard, Lucario etc. will always be front and center in terms of promotion.

    It’s not a huge deal but it kind of takes me out of it knowing Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, and Eevee will be in every paired game going forward even with the dex cut established.

      People definitely like Charizard. It's just extremely well designed. Not that hard to figure out.

        It being popular doesn't change the fact that it's objectively poorly designed. Not that hard to figure out.

      Simple. A Pokemon used in marketing because it's popular, that /vp/edos hate presumably also because it's popular. /vp/ is filled with contrarians mad that well adjusted people don't care about Patrat or Pineco.

        No. A shillmon is something like Lucario or Zoroark; a Pokémon that starts getting pushed heavily by marketing long before there's any way for the staff to know if people will actually like it or not, and is designed specifically for this purpose.

            Yeah, isn’t that the approach GF takes with every design ( make it cute or cool).

        Bad because Pokemon is about cute and cool monsters and not fursuits humanoids.

    “Shillmon” is a backhanded compliment by jealous Unovabortions malding their flopped dex of turbermons will never be as popular as KantGOD

      I mean the Shitnova dex is full of bootleg versions of gen 1/kanto mons, obviously they're jealous.
