i like egyptian god bird
it is a masterpiece of creature design after all
Hoenn privilege…
the other two would sell lots of merch if this was true. currently we are in the hoenn era, and it will likely end in 5 years when sinnoh kids which started with diaper take over.
because Blaziken is based on over half a dozen things all executed so subtly and aesthetically that nitwits think it's just a man in a chicken suit
Maybe it's called a troony in a chicken suit because it literally looks like one?
to nitwits such as yourself, incapable of naming more than 4 or so elements of its design
>I read bulbapedia and I am now an expert
have a nice day
i hated it when the games were first released but at least fighting types were generally humanoid. Same with lucario. Cant say the same about the later abominations.
Hate requires caring, and I don't think that anybody cares about Blaziken anymore other than hardcore Hoenngays or fans of 2000s Bittenhard.
Probably correct. The hate makes stuff popular and makes people be contrarian and get invested in defending for the sake of getting attention. Nobody wants blaziken to be more popular, so they dropped the hate because being ignored is a worse fate than being hated.
thing i grew up with good
thing I didnt grew up with bad
I've always hated Blaziken. Completely ruins the torchic line and it looks more like a digimon reject.
Fire starters have always been lame past gen 1 because they keep trying to strike gold like they did with Charizard but they keep failing
Blaziken is a much better design than Charizard
shut up hoenn baby
sinnoh fetuses claim the same about infernape
Blaziken is quite a bit deeper still than even Infernape
Charizard is just a fat upright western dragon
Kanto design philosophy was more flawed
Not even the best Hoenn starter. It's design is noisy and all over the place.
>noisy
no such thing
this is a cope for defending simplistic designs with little to no depth and range
That’s because Hoenn has the best all-around starter trio. None of them are particularly ugly or bad like, say, Meganium, or Samurott, or Delphox
Blaziken is ugly. Sceptile also looks fat and dumb
>Blaziken is ugly.
that's not what the polls say, boorish contrarian
>MUH REDDIT POLLS
don't look up the pokemon day poll
Too human looking and trying too hard to be cool. Goes against Tajiri's vision
tajiri's vision was mr. mime and hitmonchan silly homie
Mr Mime and Hitmonchan are goofy looking and not trying hard to be cool. Blaziken is also more human looking
>Mr Mime and Hitmonchan are goofy looking
and are consequently unpopular and no one's favorites
>Blaziken is also more human looking
blatant denialism and cope
>fighting type
>too human looking
ummm moron-kun?
Yeah all of those are more monstrous than Blaziken. Machoke especially looks like a mutant reptile.
Blaziken looks like a mutant bird. What's your point?
It's a guy in a chicken suit
Machoke is a guy in a lizard suit. What's your point?
his point is he's a moron
You mean a guy in a lizard mask? Because his face is the only “lizard”-like part about him? Meanwhile, Blaziken has a chicken face, a rooster crown, and straight-up bird hands
So now you think Blaziken is less humanoid than Machoke? Make up your mind.
Eeeh... hitmonchan, not so much. That's just a guy in a skirt.
Though, being compared to the literal worst gen 1 design is a pretty bad starting point to begin with.
>100% Male
>Wears a skirt
Maybe they're meant to be boxing shorts?
yeah, because Poliwhirl and Poliwrath, Jynx, Golduck, Machamp, and Hypno don't also exist
Matter of taste, but I really only think Jynx and Machamp are in competition with Hitmonchan for worst Gen 1 design.
And at least their both weird enough to be unsettling. Hitmonchan is the original dude in a costume pokemon.
This art makes Hitmonchan look like some weird arthropod monster, with the segmented arms there, like a carapace. Almost makes me think he's Bug-type here.
This art makes Hitmonchan look like a toga-wearing boxing monster, what he's intended to look like.
>Fire starters have always been lame past gen 1 because they keep trying to strike gold like they did with Charizard but they keep failing
>can't even @ properly
fricking moron.
This is correct.
Typlosion was an excellent starter until Gen 6, and then it became among the worst starters with it's 3D model.
But Blaziken, Infernape, Emboar, Delphox, Incineroar, Cinderace, and Skeledirge? All garbage tier. It's hard to even pick a 3rd best... it might honestly be Emboar or Skeledirge, we're working at the low of a bar here.
dumb fake typhlosion fan posts again
>dumb
>typhlosion fan
redundant
Some of us know how typhlosion should look like and don't pretend the fire and the 3d models are "le ruined", also nice try, chairzard.
>t became among the worst starters with it's 3D model.
The only problem was that its flame wasn't on during battle and that was fixed it in SV.
Huh, look at that, you're right. Nearly a decade and they finally fixed up Typlosion.
Looks like we got a 2nd good fire starter again.
>fake fan can't even write typhlosion name correctly
Calm down dude. It’s just a Typosion
Because It look good unlike all the furshit from gen 5 and up.
Charizard>Blaziken>Incineroar>Typhlosion>Cinderace>Infernape>Delphox>Skeledirge
Blaziken is just fire Quaquaval
Isn't it strange how nearly every fire starter gets flack except Blaziken?
>Charizard gets hate for being shilled
>Typhlosion gets hate for being simple
>Infernape gets hate for being a monkey
>Everyone else is hated due to job, bipedalism, and/or general design overall
>Meanwhile, everyone worships Blaziken
Pretty suspicious, if you ask me.
>Isn't it strange how nearly every fire starter gets flack except Blaziken?
no, because it's obviously the best designed one with
>the most thought put into it (although maybe now the crocodile has it beat)
>the most aesthetically pleasing execution, coolness and complexity all things considered
>the most originality and the herald/pioneer of a new and more valuable design philosophy for the series
it was first, and it was best
Blazicucks are more delusional than zardgays lmao holy shit.
now type that again with the 'typhosion259.jpg' attached
>Infernape gets hate for being a monkey
it's almost certainly not that
it's not as complex as Blaziken, not as conceptually accessible / translatable as Blaziken, not as original as Blaziken
Infernape has always been a darling of Timmies because it's the conventionally cool sinnoh starter and aptly minmaxed for competitive viability
But outside of nostalgia and set side to side by Blaziken, it just doesn't measure up; plus, perhaps, wasn't shilled enough, but that may also have been a consequence of being recognizably less worthy of shilling
> wasn't shilled enough
Whatever Infernape’s issue was it wasn’t lack of Shilling. It was has entire arch in the Sinnoh anime and had more spotlight than Pikachu much of time.
getting anime screentime in your debut series is the bare minimum
>But outside of nostalgia and set side to side by Blaziken, it just doesn't measure up
the fricking irony of this statement
You know dude, pizza is good and all but if you eat it three times a day you'd get to hate it pretty fast
(Sorry for all the americans that probably can't get what I'm talking about since they actually do that kind of stuff)
Marunn che cazzo stai a dì? la pizza si magna ogni giorno!
>food analogy
he's sexy
We know, may.
Because he's a cool looking kickman (chicken)
It's not a double standard. There's a big difference between anthro and furbait.
delusion
Blaziken actually looks cool
BLAZIKEN IN SMASH
Because Blaziken gets girls horny for some reason
Hoennbabs are unable to handle criticism at all
People hated Blaziken back then, it's justhe is old now, same it's happening to gen 5 starters
Seems /vp/ has gone insane
Birds have two legs so its ok.
The fact it lacks legs while also having birdlike hands also helps.
Same with rillaboom. Its an ape so its ok
Lacks feet, not legs
>Lacks feet
You're blind.
It has chicken talons, not human feet.
blaziken is wearing pants has not legs, garudamon ha legs
a hoenngay behind every shitpost
yeah i always hated this furry garbage like all the others. im guessing its because its old+it looks handsome/more unique/cool if you like furries.
