I like how this is so true that we don't even have angry autists lashing out at posts like this now, they're so defeated that they don't even bother anymore.
It is pretty interesting to see a design that is considered too subtle. There’s tons that are too overt but not many with themes overlooked by most people.
Komala at least had a gimmick behind it. Flamigo has nothing going on other than a rare typing.

It's a boxing glove. You know that by now so why troll?
What's the point? Does it ever use its body as a boxing glove? You might as well argue Seel is an interesting design because its tail looks like a water spout.
Not that a modern Pokemon game needs to be made easier but this thing is a fricking beast in-game. Fighting and Flying coverage with Scrappy, you can get it pretty easily before the first gym, and it's got something like 500 base stats distributed in a helpful way for ingame.
I never saw one in the wild on either of my playthroughs of Scarlet. It would have rounded out my new pokemon only team that I use every first playthrough
Black folk on this board will complain about overdesigned pokemon but when they get something that isn't, it's "bland". if this was a KANTOOO mon it would be hailed as top tier design. KYS
I was never unaware - this thing carried me through my whole Violet playthrough right to Area Zero. It's a genuinely good pokemon and you can get it pretty early, making the whole game more of a joke than it already was; it's not my fault you got filtered by the design and didn't think to actually try utilizing its movepool.
Shit design, shit concept
Better than ratata
people actually know ratatta
I was already aware because internet chuds complain about it all the time.
why does this exist
Cus Flamingos are some of the most famous animals that inhabit Spain
What even is that Pokemon?
it's literally just a flamingo
there's no theme, no joke, no idea. its existence has no purpose
it's just a flamingo
Pretty sure it’s supposed to be a balloon animal
every new pokemon looks like a balloon animal
>Old pokemon designs need to effortlessly put details to be good instead of making something origina
Gen 1 was a lazy tryhard

No, it's that there's no point in arguing with people who have set opinions, as trying to fight belief with logic is a waste of both time and effort.
I like the nu gen mankey
I dont even like flamigo, but just because the design is bland doesn't mean there wasn't a theme or an idea behind it. Grow up.
So defensive

>Pokegays complain about nudesigns not being subtle

i hate this fricking fandom so damn much

>I-it’d supposed to be shit
nugen moment
It looks like it would have fit perfectly in gen 1 tbh.
>Posting an ordinary flamingo
This is a Pokemon forum sir
>Somehow isn't Ubers
At least it's balanced
Costar bird my beloved
I never forgot, but I I love other SV birds more, especially Espathra, my wife
Literally my mom's flamingo.
People will absolutely never shut up about this bird, there's no way anybody could forget this thing.
Seel and dewgong are literally the same "real animal but spelled wrong" thing, but somehow when flamigo does it it's the terrible end of days.
This is a moronic post that means nothing to anyone who's not a genwun Black person and has called them out too multiple times
>Komala is just a koala and a log
>Flamigo is just a flamingo
Is this the new trend ? The "We don't have any idea for that animal so take it anyway" ?
Komala at least had a gimmick behind it. Flamigo has nothing going on other than a rare typing.

more like SEXO

no, i know they exist
looks cooler than flamigo
kalosperm thread
Pokemon are adding normal animals again?
My favorite gen 9 mon.
I never saw one in the wild on either of my playthroughs of Scarlet. It would have rounded out my new pokemon only team that I use every first playthrough
Should this really have been attainable so early into the game?
I lowkey like it.
>pink
>flamingo
>punny name
Can't go wrong with that

Its a bro. Shame its movepool is very shallow.
I can't tell if these are bot responses or people actually think anyone cares about the "subtlety" of the flamingo's non-theme
One of the worst Pokemon in a very bad Gen. He's lucky the Gay Duck exists or he'd get way more hate
Nah, it's actually pretty good ingame so anyone that actually used the thing won't complain about it.
I used it and it was a wasted slot
pretty great early game pick since you can find it going offroad in like the second road and it doesn't ever quite fall off either
aesthetically wise I like its bounciness and it doesn't pretend it's anything more than a lawn ornament with a blank stare
52 posts and no one has substantiated what Flamigo's "theme" is supposed to be or why it's Fighting-type.
How could I possibly forget the mon that carried most people's SV playthroughs?
I’ve never used him but I heard he’s pretty strong. He’s also high on various tier lists
