Middle-child syndrome.

Also, this meme makes me want to pirate some Nintendo games. Off to illegally download some roms from 1992. Good time to sell some stock bc as soon as they realized I downloaded SNES Mario All-stars, the market value is gunna crash so hard.

How is Nintendo going to feed its family now?

In the words of our billionaire elite overlords, "fuck them kids!"

Nintendo is the surname of the founder? Didn't know that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

First and second name, actually. Nintendo Nintendo was the reason why one of the Mario brothers is named Mario. Mario Mario is based on Nintendo Nintendo.

A lot of teenagers don't like being in photos, I never did. When I got older, I was to lazy to move out of the frame, and charmander aged me was like fuck it life is great

Gengar is the only Pokémon that comes to mind as not being a clear aesthetic upgrade over its previous evolutionary stage.

Uh, Dragonite exists. Cool blue dragon-snake, cooler blue dragon snake, then bam! Derp the Orange Dragon with a gut, out of nowhere...

Gengar is a recoloured Clefable.

I like a lot of middle evolutions better than final, Charmeleon included. Wartortle with those wing-ears, the Nidoran middle forms are pretty good. Zubat is better than Golbat. Meowth has more going on than Persian which is just any regular cat from Earth. Voltorb is better than Electrode, but in fairness they're both just Pokéballs--I always thought Electrode should have been modeled after a Great Ball or something.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Zubat, Meowth, and Voltorb are all first evolutions though, and only Zubat even has a third evolution.

I have a Bulbasaur plush, there is a Venusaur plush, all I want is an Ivysaur plush!!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

Same. Ivysaur is my favorite Pokémon, and it's nigh impossible to find good Ivysaur collectables without searching them out on Etsy or something.

I love me some Dark Charmeleon.

Okay, yeah, you are hitting me right in the feels with the nostalgia. The Pokémon trading game was my jam growing up! I conned more than a few 6 year olds out of their holographic mew and Charizard cards by convincing them my cards were rarer...im not proud of it...well, maybe a little.

Edit: Okay, chill ya'll I did this like once when I was 11. The whole coment was a joke. Do you really think im actually proud of something dumb I did almost 25 years ago? Really think about that for a second. And if you answer yes, this dude is actually proud of that, then your social skills aren't that great.

as a wartortle fan i feel ya

[-] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Really? Over Squirtle Squad? Not likely. Wartortle is still great, though!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Middle evos tend to be...lackluster. The ones that are just upgrades from the basic, a-b-c like Starters and the Generational Bug. Exceptions like Haunter, Dragonair, exist where the middle evolution stands out from the final form. Last major category is have unique in all 3, because an evo was added later, like Golbat to Crobat and Rhydon to Rhyperior.

The oddest one out is ones where people prefer stage OVER the basic, until the evo. These are like Gothorita, Lampent, and Hattrem.

Yes, Bulbasaur.

Cut from the image: a nearly impossible stack of Rule 34

[-] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

Out of curiosity, I checked e6. Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard have 3.3k, 3.2k and 11k tagged images, respectively.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

E6? Is that some kind of den of filth? Tell me the address so I can be sure to never go there!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

The place's name is e621, ends with .net, like the Microsoft thingy. Truly a den of debauchery that you should never visit. Quick, add it to all your blocklists!!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I don't think so, looks right to me.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I actually loved my Charmeleon, you can get some great attacks for him that just wipe the floor with everything more or less.

But evolving him was always #1 priority, its true.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Charmeleon is not as cute as charmander, and not as powerful looking as charizard, so it's second place in the things that matter for merch interest.
