When I first saw the starters it was
Quaxly > Sprigatito > Fuecoco
Quaxly seemed neat and I was excited to see what its evolutions would be
Sprigatito was cute af
Fuecoco looked mentally challenged
Now it's Fuecoco > Sprigatito > Quaxly because Meowscarada is a generic furgay and Quaquaval is just some offensive and ugly gay thing. Skeledirge is also just cool without being cringe.
Not furry/homosexual (but is scaliebait anyways).
Fuecoco being the most popular of the three is probably why some morons made bait threads just to shit on Fuecoco . I don't know if it was duckgays after their starter was revealed (I feel really sorry for them) or just catgays being moronic as usual.
Anon the POTY poll has held a few months after SwSh launch and Rillaboom was so far behind Cinderace and Inteleon in Galar's own poll (5th and 10th compared ot Rillaboom's 28th) that it wasn't even funny
Most people want their pets to be animals, not humanoids.
Little Timmy wants the cool fire crocogator not the weird cat or duck that makes him feel funny
Children imagine their Pokemon being sapient and talking to them like Meowth, that's why Lucario became so popular after his movie where he spoke the entire time.
Shit you're right. I thought it was cool as hell that Mewtwo was technically the first pokemon to talk considering it never had to learn human speech, it was born with it.
>the water/grass starters get complementary moves/abilities >skeledirge gets an attack that boosts nothing useful and an ability that is terrible on a mon with a bad defensive typing
They're trying so hard to make me not pick him but Meowscarada and Quaquaval look so moronic
It's slow as shit, and it can be revenge killed by quite a few things. It doesn't feel like the move is consistently better than Fire Blast/Overheat to the point that there's a massive value add.
Torch Song is much more useful than those alternatives. Its a sound-based attack which ignores substitutes and leaves room for strats like Throat Spray, making it objectively better than Fire Blast. Overheat could work on a specs set or a set that would rely on TS's special attack boosts for an occasional nuke but otherwise your better off just spamming it's signature move to snowball stat boosts for it's non-fire type attacks
The problem is that nothing is preventing you from switching into literally any good offensive mon and killing it. The 80bp move isn't gonna threaten shit and if you're not running full bulk then it's just gonna die on the next attack. So many threats are ground/dark/ghost/rock, fire+ghost is just such a shitty typing for a slow mon like this.
>Unaware and access to Slack Off enables it to switch into many things >Has Will-o-Wisp and STAB Hex to punish physical attackers that dare to take it out
I don't think it'll be god tier but whats with the fixation underestimating this thing? Its has more potential than the other two(Cat would easily be the best with Protean's original mechanics and there are less gimmicky sweepers than a duck whos selling point is a water Flame Charge)
>Cat
looks stupid. Cat burglar/Jester. Unsalvageable unless you are a furgay. >Duck
turns in to a Carnival dancer/peawiener thing. Neat idea, too bad it just looks moronic. There needed to be "more" on the lower half of the body. Something like the legs being thicker and more feathers. Really just more feathers on the tail might fix it. >Derpodile
He starts as a little happy moron then turns in to a red crocodile is is tired of the bullshit with a baby moltres on his nose and his face is in war paint.
Most normies arent gonna pick homosexual duck and furrybait cat, plus parent's get these games for their kids, so the kid might feel embarrassed or weird for picking the weirdly sexualized/hyper feminine starter. Alot of ppl use the final evo as their choice in the long run.
Kids always pick the fire type
>Sprigatito had the memes and porn bonus at the start, but CHADcoco pulled ahead in the end
You love to seeit
Polls like these gets spambotted a lot, you know.
Holy cope.
You guys said shit like this for Incineroar vs Decidueye for years, until Decidueye won in the global poll.
It's a flaming crocodile that doesn't turn into a human doing cosplay when it evolves
I picked Quax and I hate the fully evolved form. An abomination.
I cant help but watch its homosexual 2 step rumba dance when it comes out. Its so gay it distracts you from the battle
>doesn't turn into a human doing cosplay when it evolves
Anon..?
Have you not seen it?
have YOU seen Skeledirge? what about it looks human?
It stands up like an opera singer
And it has clown hair
Crocodiles temporarily stand up all the time homosexual.
Compared to a gay and a troony Ill take the croc
it's the least shit
Even normies are sick of the furry starters
His line looks moronic and hilarious
There's people that like the gay duck?
Frick...
First truly monstruous starter in a long time.
incineroar
>guy in a fur suit
>monstrous
It's not gay or furry
Quaxly was a good contender to be the normiebait but ends as a homosexual
Sprigatito's line is too femenine
Fuecoco just wins by existing
>Quaxly was a good contender to be the normiebait but ends as a homosexual
this, plus Sprigatito stranding up really killed it for a bunch of people
It's extremely ugly but a step in the direction away from fursonas.
Ugly in a good way.
And it’s the very first starter in the entire series to actually have a living companion helping it out in battle
the only not anthro furrybait that is actually a MONSTER
It's the least shit
When I first saw the starters it was
Quaxly > Sprigatito > Fuecoco

same here, i was certain i would go duck on the first reveal. just wish croc didn't have such goofy proportions
It'a simple
The cat stand up
The Duck quack and become a gay
No other choice but the ugly Croc
Not furry/homosexual (but is scaliebait anyways).
Fuecoco being the most popular of the three is probably why some morons made bait threads just to shit on Fuecoco . I don't know if it was duckgays after their starter was revealed (I feel really sorry for them) or just catgays being moronic as usual.
catbros, dont worry! as long as we keep redoing the poll over and fricking over again, eventually we'll win!
the other two starters are extremely feminine, and most pokemon fans are male.
>pick fire croc
>mfw his final form
>mfw one shots nearly every gym because fire and ghost type
Only chads picked the absolute goat fire crocodile
It's not a bobblehead.
Same thing happened in Gen 7
no other choice but the Gorilla
but about halfway through the Rabbit was basically Greninja 2.0 so it shifted to him.
gen8*
Anon the POTY poll has held a few months after SwSh launch and Rillaboom was so far behind Cinderace and Inteleon in Galar's own poll (5th and 10th compared ot Rillaboom's 28th) that it wasn't even funny
>fire croc one shots everything with shadow ball and flamethrower
His basically gen 2 water croc but not underpowered trash. Perhaps overpowered...
I hate grass type and the gay bird is repulsive.
When the first Reveal happened
It was the Duck 100%,
But I didn't hate the Croc it grew on me it was cute
The Cat right from the start I can smell from a mile away its going to be a Fursona mascot the only thing missing is a rose whip.
The Duck is probably the biggest drop I have ever seen happened in Pokemon history even bigger than Chesnught, Incineroar and Primarina.
no other choice but the clown croc we can always box him anyway.
i would pick quaxly if were not so gay, the dance and run is fricking gay, he should be more stoic like blaziken
Most people want their pets to be animals, not humanoids.
Little Timmy wants the cool fire crocogator not the weird cat or duck that makes him feel funny

>he doesn't know
Dirge is the best competitively
gets an attack that boosts nothing useful
It boosts its main attack stat, how is that not useful?
It's slow as shit, and it can be revenge killed by quite a few things. It doesn't feel like the move is consistently better than Fire Blast/Overheat to the point that there's a massive value add.
How? I'm struggling to see it.

all trash gen 7 mogs them, apologize
doesn't turn into a gay furry
People saw the cat stand up and the duck's gay run.
>Cat
looks stupid. Cat burglar/Jester. Unsalvageable unless you are a furgay.
>Duck
turns in to a Carnival dancer/peawiener thing. Neat idea, too bad it just looks moronic. There needed to be "more" on the lower half of the body. Something like the legs being thicker and more feathers. Really just more feathers on the tail might fix it.

>Cat is unsalvageable but the duck isn't
You're out of your mind
Most people haven't seen the evos yet.
Most normies arent gonna pick homosexual duck and furrybait cat, plus parent's get these games for their kids, so the kid might feel embarrassed or weird for picking the weirdly sexualized/hyper feminine starter. Alot of ppl use the final evo as their choice in the long run.
People don't want to admit to being a furry.
