Pretty sure the Fighting-type is mainly because they're based on construction workers, who are usually burly as fuck.

Plus there's a really weird carnie thing going on with them (clown hair, clown nose), so they kind of have elements of a carnival strongman.

Having mitten hands doesn't make you a boxer. Boxing makes you a boxer, which primeape does not do. Not in its design, moveset, pokedex entries, anime or manga appearances.
>>
>>25671700
>>25671805

Primeape is a berserker. That's not really a fighting style but in fantasy it sure is, like books, videogames, tv, etc. It's like Wolverine, The Hulk, or that romanticized image of the mad berserk vikings with giant axes who's injuries only push them to fight harder. Berserker is a class in a lot of RPG's, including Fire Emblem. That's satisfactory to me. It gets stronger with rage and its pokedex entries and natural moveset back this up.

Thrash, final gambit, fury swipes, rage, assurance, etc.

I wouldn't reclass it to Dark, but it would make sense to have a Fighting/Dark evolution. Especially with Pursuit.

It's all close combat and grappling. Not necessarily trying to toss the opponent around, but to overpower them with a flurry of punches and kicks. MMA fighters will kill their opponent if the referee doesn't stop them.

Primeape definitely fits the bill

>>25672334

I am aware of what MMA is, but berserker fits the bill of what primeape canonically does and how it acts better.

>>25672334
I know what MMA is.
And no, Primeape does not fit the bill.
Its clearly styleless and was designed with that in mind. If anything its just "Styleless Martial Arts" or not really a form of martial arts at all.

Machamp is a wrestling champion
Poliwrath and Toxicroak are those fighter frogs from south america.
Primeape is probably a street fighter (he attack using claws, low kicks and sand, which are dirty)
Meloetta maybe is a capoira fighter, because dancing and fighting.
Lucario style is ansatsuken (because hadoken)
Medicham belly dancing? It looks a shaolin monk to me, because meditation+fighting.
Zhu Bajie is not a fighting style, Emboar is probably a sumo, because fat and asian.
Blaziken is a masked luchador/wrestler
>>

>>25672390
No need to lie on the internet, mobilefag.
>>
>>25672393

RPG classes in a lot of cases come from real fighting styles. The Barbarian in D&D is really just another kind of berserker.

Plus, cock fighting, beetle wrestling and being an olympic swimmer are not martial arts. The method in which Primeape chooses to fight is using its rage and anger to make it stronger, faster, and more alert. Which makes it a berserker.

If you prefer, we can classify Primeape as a sith instead.

What makes Blaziken muay thai? It kicks people and jumps really high. What's the specific correlation between the two? I've never seen Blaziken elbow anyone, not even with Pokken.

Yes, Heracross is a grappler. Its based on fighting beetles which wrestle with each other. Pointing out its a grappler doesn't even disagree with what I said.

And just read Poliwrath's pokedex entries. Its a fighting type because its ridiculously jacked from how good it is at swimming. That's why its a fighting type. Go read them.

Are you really going to call me pedantic on a pokemon image board in a thread specifically devoted to figuring out which fighting style is used by every fighting type pokemon?

You said something wrong and I corrected you. The proper way to handle this is to just say "Oh, I guess he's right" and quietly move on with your life anon. If you want to call me a contrarian to feel better about yourself that's okay too, but it isn't productive.

It isn't a Mewtwo specific item in any instance, in any generation, and none of its descriptions ever mention Mewtwo.

Completely unrelated.

Beserker Gene is associated with Mewtwo. It's in the exact same spot Mewtwo was sitting.

I guess it is pretty hard to classify it, but it begs the question if EVERY fighting type is based on a fighting style.

>Infernape and Emboar
P. Sure those aren't fighting style

>Galade is based on a gladiator
Try european duck knight

>Lucario is based on an oracle/aura fighter
Man, where are all of those at? Never heard of that IRL.

>Primeape
Accurate. Doesn't have to be a fighting style. Weights and paws are just early understanding of making something look like a "fighting" type. If it had been normal, it probably wouldn't have those.

Thanks anon. Now I have to masturbate furiously.

wut

You're an idiot.

I always thought Blaizken was taekwondo

>>25666042
you forgot toxicroak

what is it??
>>
>>25677147
>>25677216
Forgot Blaziken. And yeah same.
>>
>>25666142
>different
The only difference is masks, which, there's even a fucking "luchador" in American pro wrestling.
>>
>>25677147
>duck knight
>>
>>25677237
A muay thai fighter

Even more fitting is that King, the best and hottest muay thai vidya fighter, uses a move called VENOM STRIKE
>>
>>25677253
The masks isn't even a difference, not every luchador wears a mask.
>>
>>25677194
>>25677270
>>
>>25677290
yeah I don't know much about it, just that there isn't much difference unlike what that anon was saying.
>>
>>25677273
>toxicroak has virtually non-existent shins/no barbs on shins
>muay thai
>move called "venom strike" in muay thai means this fits
There's a wrestler named sting, and the Rock was a scorpion king. Does that mean Drapion is based on a pro wrester? lol
>>
Emboar is a wrestler, Poliwrath is a battletoad.
>>
>>25672358
>I've watched an MMA fight and can confirm there's no style
Wew
>>
>>25672447
Not that anon, but are you upset because you have a shit/non-existant relationship with your unsuccessful slob of a father? lol

toxicroak and croagunk are dirty boxers. they have a large dark move pool and croagunk has very clear boxing short and handwrap style patterns on it as well as black eyes.
>>
>>25670982
you realize "based" (other than just being shitty slang) isn't just a synonym for "awsome" right? (although awesome is also grossly misused as meaningless slang) It's supposed to denote not giving a fuck. Having no style or discipline is actually pretty appropriately described as "based" not because it's any good but because it's the most obvious form of not giving a fuck.
>>
>>25672358
I don't watch MMA and they definitely do have their own styles for fighting. You're an idiot.
>>
>>25678432
good point.

While the typing is "dark/evil," it really refers to dirty/sneaky/nefarious as opposed to "coffee black like my soul chaos control evil ruler" type stuff.
>>
>>25678432
Toxicroak always felt like a drunken Russian boxer to me
>>
>>25666385
Autistic children love creating patterns out of seemingly unconnected events.
>>
>>25677444
Right?!

I know a friend who practices MMA. I even almost started way back and the general consensus is you start with a martial art that uses most limbs like muay thai and once you become proficient you start incorporating other disciplines of choice

MMA is far from random rage fighting
>>
>>25678474
Context clues, faggot. I think we both know "based" was used as slang:awesome in that post.
>>
>>25680156
Based, on 4chan, is a /sp/ meme which stems from a misspelling of biased.
>thank you biased refs
With sarcasm
>>
>>25672179

where the shit do you get muay thai for infernape? it's wushu
>>
>>25672179
>>25666042
hitmonlee has nothing to do with taekwando
>>
>>25680767
The fighter whose the only thing he can do is kick. Sounds like taekwando to me.
>>
>>25678778
If you're too stupid to understand the patterns that even autistic children can see that doesn't mean they don't exist.
>>
>>25681014
Just like the Chinese Zodiac fire starters, right? :^)
>>
>>25671930

That's because it's an angry berserker type of fighter. It only wears gloves so its own hands don't get fucked up when it rapes you.
>>
>>25680200
this faggot thinks 4chan invented based

holy fucking shit
>>
>>25680902
He kicks because he's named directly after a kickboxer. Literally his name is Sawamular, as in サワムラー, SA-WA-MU-RA, as in 忠, Tadashi Sawamura 沢村 忠. Just like Ebiwalar is named after Hiroyuki Ebihara.
>>
>>25683809
sorry copy pasted that kanji in the wrong order.
沢村 = Sawamura.

Pray for gen 7. Also pure fight type or bust
>>
Would Kung Fu for a Fighting-Dragon Pokemon be too obvious?
>>
>>25686746
That time has passed, anon. This is the age of the fairies.

Gen 5 was the peak of fighting types
>Muskedeers
not defending them as I don't care to dislike them but the fact remains they are our legit fighting type legends
>Conkeldurr
I love Machamp but let's not fool ourselves--Conkeldurr is a straight-up improvement save for a few niche. This guy may not have overthrown Machamp as the aesthetic and conceptual poster boy, but competitively speaking, Conkeldurr is the new king/big boss
>Emboar, Sawk, Throh, Scrafty, Mienshao
This is the gen that introduced the most number of fighting types that are mostly decent
>>
>>25687199
One can only dream. Though, I'm also making up concepts for a Fairy-Fighting. Still, I won't be satisfied until there's a dual Fighting for every type, just to see GameFreak's ideas.
Yes, Fighting is my favorite type.
>>
>>25687391
>just to see GameFreak's ideas
People always shit on Conkeldurr and Sawk and Throh as rehashes, which in a way are true, but the execution area actually intelligent and far from a simple copy+paste

Sawk and Throh borrow from onis, which I know is a meme here, but is not obvious in any way with the hitmons. Additionally, they oni duo are aesthetically very different from the hitmons

Conkeldurr is always touted as a rehash, but concept-wise, he is his own pokemon. No other pre-existing fighting types had the construction/strong carnie shtick.

So yes, there are similarities, but they are still their own so I'm quite confident GF will not disappoint us with the new fighting types. Except another starter. We already have four. That shit needs to be cut out.
>>
>>25687391
The only fairy/fighting I can think of would have to be one based off the Yaksha (a fairy/nature spirit from buddhist texts that were depicted as stout warriors)
>>
>>25687999
Puss in boots or a generic fairy tale knight
>>
>>25666253
Speaking of which, I think it says something with how all the localizers decided to keep the reference in Breloom's JP name on how it looks like it is wearing a kasa hat.
This, and the quick, unexpected strikes recall samurai, for me at least.
Really, Breloom really does try to be a lot of things at the same time.
>>
>>25688269
I really hate its clusterfuck of design and concepts. I mean I get it. Some pokemon draw from several inspirations but with Breloom they don't mesh well and feel forced
>>
>>25688055
Suddenly I thought of 1-inch boy, and some sort of tiny-fighter pokemon came to mind.

Apparently you don't read because my post says

Meaning the chinz didn't invent based, but how based is used on 4chanel comes from the /sp/ post

I did read it. you're still retarded and wrong.
