This probably means I have shit taste. I have no idea what everyone else thinks of Dragonite, but I can't stand the Barney The Dinosaur looking fucker
>>26814481
One way to tell someone started 3rd gen or later is if they belief Dragonite "ruined" the Dratini line.
>>26814481
They just shouldn't have been the same line, they're both fine separately
>>26814481
Almost everyone on /vp/ that mentions Dragonite hates it. You're not alone.It is I who is truly alone. I love Dragonite.
huh.... Did my post get deleted/am I banned?

>>26814532
But Samurott is a natural progression.
>>26814481
Rhydon deserved better
Haunter deserved better
Dragonair deserved better
Ivysaur deserved better
Dewott deserved better
Braixen deserved better
Sliggoo deserved better
Oh, and this thing goes without saying. I know it's not a huge change from Bayleef, but at least that one was vaguely salvageable.
>>26814501
Nope, rolled on in with Pokemon Yellow.
>>26814519
I guess it's not super bad, I just feel like it wasted a lot of potential that Dratini and Dragonair's had.
>>26814519it's my favorite Pokemon
It's hard
>>26814569
I still cry about Rhydon. It didn4 need that stupid evo.
>>26814501
I started with gen 1 and believe dragonite ruins dragonair. orange is my least favorite color.
>>26814481
I'm disappointed with Dragonite, too. It just looks goofy. It doesn't keep the elegance of Dragonair or turn into something fearsome like you would want from a dragon pokemon. It's just silly. And why is it orange and not some shade of blue?
>>26814612
Keep crying
>>26814774
WHY DO YOU LOOK SO STUPID. WHY.
>>26814565
But that's the best metaphor.
Also:

>>26814569
No, it isn't.
>Posts an fanart of Samurott standing like a biped.
>>26814481
>tfw the only fanart of Dragonite I ever see on /vp/ is it wearing diapersI don't even like Dragonite, but it deserves better.
Scizor could work on its own, but as an evolution of Scyther I feel robbed, because I wanted Schyther to either become very powerful or get a more fitting and green evolution.
>>26814801
to pis you off specifically
>>26814932
I honestly had no idea scizor was an evolution
>>26814973
>>26814932
>green evolution
???
>>26814884
>No, it isn't.
How? Its literally an underwater warrior.
>Posts an fanart of Samurott standing like a biped
The "bipedal stance" was inspired by this OFFICIAL poster of the Unova starters dude.
Literally every nostalgia evo in gen 4 especially Electivire.
>>26814504
But all new pokemon look crap so that doesn't count.
Lickilicky, Tangrowth, Probopass, Rhyperior, Magmortar, Togekiss, Ambipom, Mamoswine.
I'm beginning to see a pattern here...
>>26815016
I think the problem is that while the prior stages thematically match it, they physically don't resemble it in the slightest: the fucker looks way more like Popplio.
>>26815710
Actually, that's the one I like. I don't really see what it did wrong.
The one I find vexing is Yanmega, as it's pretty damned close to just being a non-cartooned drawing of a dragonfly.
This fucker. This ugly fucker. This shit is just plain stupid, full nonsense.
Why did we get this instead of a nice isocaedral mageton of doom ? I was so mad.
Like, in the place it has to level up to evolve, u need four magneton and a voltorb (the core) to evolve it.
This isocaedral magneton, with sound moves, mad defense, mad spe attck, levitate, would be madness...
Mad.
>>26814781
where did its limbs go
was kinda mad when I got this
>>26818117
Look, the unfunny genwunner.
>>26814481
Every Sinnoh evolution of previous gen pokemon.
I hate most mega evo designs but at the least they're optional. I feel a NEED to evolve my Pokemans.
>>26820096
Delphox is generally accepted to be shit among anons on vp.
This ugly piece of crap
>>26814481
I personally think the first two evolutions "ruin" Dragonite.They all had potential and I definitely would have preferred them having separate evo lines.imagine a cute little dragonite pre-evo hehehehe
>>26820557
More importantly, imagine a forty foot long Water/Dragon type dragon-snake evo to Dragonair.
>>26820162
>Probopass
Probo should get a pass just for being a hilarious caricature of a jew.
>>26814932
I agree. Giant blade claws seem more fitting to a mantis type pokemon than random crab claws too. Specially when crab claws aren't as unique.
>>26820162
>Magmortar
I like him, looks like a Toriyama villain.
>>26820162
I agree on all except Mamaswine, He saved that line from being forgetable trash to awesomeness.
>>26814532
>>26814481
>>26814504These final evos saved their crappy lines from being total shit.
Dratini and Dragonair are just blue snakes, while derpy Dragonite is at least cute.
Delphox manages to avoid being completely redundant like fennekin nor pedo-furry bait like Braixen
The further away Samurott gets away from the shitacular Oshawatt, the better
>>26820523
The only correct answer on this thread
Any gen IV evo for previous gens pokemon.
Except togekiss, this one is good and togetic really needed an evo.
>>26814519
>>26814481
He's on my competitive team, and he's a beast. I love him, he just doesn't really fit with dragonair and dratini.
>>26820096
That's not bait. That the truth along with braixen.
>>26814481
>still salty after 20 years
still, how fucking autistic you have to be to hate a bunch of data? oh right it's /vp/
Noiverm. Noibat is such a cute but then it evolves into that disgusting thing.
>>26820267
>the fucker looks way more like Popplio
They're very different in body structure though. Samurott functions like a mustelid(a swimmer than can work on land) whereas Popplio is a full-fledged pinniped(swimmers with poor land mobility).
>>26814501
I've been around since gen 1 and don't like it. Dragonite is okay on its own but after catching a cute Dratini in the Safari zone & having it evolve into Dragonair's sleek design, I was expecting something more elegant looking. Instead I got this dopey looking thing. My kid-self was very disappointed.
>>26821042
>still, how fucking autistic you have to be to hate a bunch of data? oh right it's /vp/
Sure, whatever oversimplification gives you the moral high ground there buddy
>>26814519
I'm one of those who say Dragonite ruined the line.
If I'm honest, I like Dragonite's design, I could even grow to love it; my problem is not Dragonite itself, but the fact that it's the evolution to Dragonair.
What Goodra did to Sliggoo is unforgivable though.
Greninja
Lucario
Seviper
>>26821118
>Seviper
I am still pissed that Arbok evolves into this garbagemon
>>26818117
>Guys I posted it again!
>>26814504
This line was already ruined with Braixen
>>26814612
>implying Rhydon didn't ruin what could have been a perfectly good rhino pokemon evo line.
>>26820494
It's a metaphor for snakes losing limbs through evolution. so really it's one of the only evolution lines that makes sense with darwinist evolution
also there are little leaf things on its back, those are probably arms
>>26820906I whole heartedly agree
>>26821130
Since when? It never has. You are retarded.
>>26820162
Ambipom and Rhyperior are the only bad ones.
>>26822963
Anon....the anime says so. You're the retard for not knowing.

yep it's a meme opinion.
>>26814481
Pic related is why Dragonitefags love it so much
also Hoennbabys won't get this
>>26825502
So apparently you NEVER saw the anime or any official art ever.
>>26824601
lol he still looks retarded
>>26820523
Came here to say this. It's horrendous compared to Aipom, its hands could've remained identical and it'd be fine.
>>26822963
>not knowing the error
sure is summer
