Hey, it's not a poor showing from Vaporeon. It's a strong showing from Great Tusk, since how the fuck was Brambleghast in round 3 to begin with, and Houndstone is...fine. I guess.

Same! Didn't expect anything else though, with three strong gen 1 mons and a popular starter.

Wow that is a bad showing for Vaporeon (or Great Tusk is really popular).

That is literally what it is. they just copied the text and made Tucker say it. More informative than anything the real Tucker has said, actually.

Tell that to the people that hate mythical Pokmon because they are difficult to get. A lot of them are really cool but get hated on for a reason that has nothing to do with the Poke itself.

Having good memories using a Pokmon is a plus and there is little chance a mythical gets that. I don't hold it against them either though.

My impression is the dislike some people have for hard to get Mythics goes beyond the Pokemon just not having a boost due to a lack of interaction.

One of the things I hate the most is not even being able to use Mythical pokes in competitive or even end game content within the game itself. Its like, where the hell am I supposed to use this Pokmon that you barely even give me access to?

It is even more annoying because most of the mythicals arent even overpowered. Like, no one is breaking the game by using a freaking Celebi or whatever.

I dont put any of the blame on the mythicals though, its gamefreak being dumbasses

Yeah, Manaphy and Victini are the only ones that were actually usable in game, so it hurts them a lot.

Mew : 168
Ducklett : 47

Pidgeot : 97
Milotic : 118

Cofagrigus : 109
Zangoose : 106

Final vote switched the lead for Cofagrigus.

I think Pidgeot may have been in the lead at one point too, but I wasn't really paying much attention to how the scores changed throughout the day.

Poor Seadra... :(

It's not like I decided to hate them out of protest or something, there's just an association in my head that makes me dislike them!

Also tbh I just don't like most of their designs anyway, though there are a handful of neat ones

0/4 again, but I went 3-2 in the Zangoose match, so if I just 5-0'd Zangoose he would have won 108-107. Dang

I like Cofagrigus a lot though, so it's not the worst
