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.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

Gengar is a recoloured Clefable.

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

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.

[-] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

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

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?

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

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

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

You just triggered Epstein's bones

[-] aoidenpa@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

[-] JPSound@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months 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.

I love me some Dark Charmeleon.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Charmander: young and cute

Charizard: powerful grown up

Charmeleon: angsty teenager

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 14 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months 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.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they're large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there's no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it'd be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I like how this is written with men as the target audience because only men would be this depraved

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

The most similar to vaporeon

[-] blackouttripleseven 9 points 4 months ago

as a wartortle fan i feel ya

[-] birne@feddit.org 3 points 4 months ago
[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months 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.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months 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.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

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

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

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

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 4 months 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!!
