Okay, let's do something kinda fun: list the first Pokémon game you played, and who your first starter was.

First Game: Ruby
Starter: Torchic
First Main Game: Leafgreen
First Main Starter: Bulbasaur

Alternatively:
First Pokemon Game: Red Rescue Team
First Starting Pokemon: Charmander
Partner: Pikachu

Everybody always uses Voltorb as an example of crappy gen 1 designs. Those people are wrong.
Look at these two.

I do not dislike Voltorb, it is just literally a Pokeball base without the advanced black part and capture button and angry eyes.

idk what everyone else thinks of Golurk, but I honestly really like it. It's basically the Iron Giant, but made of stone or something and has rocket boosters built into it. I actually suggested it for Pokken Tournament during that period when they asked for suggestions via Twitter (along with Gallade) wanting it to be basically Sentinel from MvC

That's what makes it cool! It's a pokeball that you pick up and it explodes in your hand. Lt. Surge uses them like grenades! Sentient grenades that can roll into the enemy's base. And then right before it blows you up, it gives you the meanest eye **** in the Pokeworld

I... recently just saw this article, when most people are reporting on Switch selling nearly 18 million units lessthan a year...

The PlayStation 4 is still outselling every other console, including Nintendo's red-hot Switch

Heh.... you can tell someone from Bussinessinsider is being a bit of a Sonydrone...
Here's some passage I found very intuitive and moronic to some degree:
Nintendo's 17.79 million units of the Switch sold (albeit in a far shorter time — just one year) doesn't really compare at all. Sony's the market leader by a longshot, having staked a claim in 2013 and held its ground since.
Bruh, we all know that Sony still sells the most consoles this gen, but that doesn't mean Sony is the "market leader" when it comes to this gen's gaming overall. Nintendo is killing the home console and handheld with Switch...

This passage is shooting itself on the foot...
It's even more impressive in the context of the PlayStation 4 as an aging console that's actually in sales decline. Sony's outright planning for a slowdown in PS4 sales across its next fiscal year, as you can see from the chart below pulled from Sony's latest financial report:
This, this is gold:
Nintendo, meanwhile, is looking at an increase in Switch console sales in the next year — somewhere in the realm of another 20 million consoles are expected to sell between now and March 31, 2019. But even with incredible sales numbers like that, it'll be near-impossible to catch up to Sony's monumental lead with the PlayStation 4.
Yeah..................................................
Nintendo won't have that monumental lead with the PS4..... because ...... how long has PS4 been selling?
And not sure if this article even understand how Nintendo Switch is selling, sure they will never catch up... this artilce is just being outright delusional...

I see your point.

You look like a guy who would be good at giving massages that can talk about cool stuff while I feel comfort from both you and the massaging.

The thing is, I don't think an uninspired design is the same as a bad design.

I actually quite like Pokemon like Electrode and Klang. It's obvious that their designs aren't much to see, but I still think they're good.
They're interesting, and enjoyable to look at. And I feel like that's what matters most.

I'm actually planning on buying a PS4 eventually.

I'm gonna need it for Trails of Cold Steel 3/4, Under Night Latest, and some of the Persona 5 spinoffs. As well as some other things I suppose.

Uh...dude? That's the literal definition of being the market leader.

You're seriously acting like a nutty Nintendo fanboy right now. Might wanna tone it down a notch.

I liked Golurk a lot at the time because it was the closest I got to a Pokemon mech.

Then we got 100% Zygarde and... Yeah.

Though I would still prefer one that I can actually use. lol

Shadow Lugia is amazing, the rest I want this to happen...

How dare you criticize these great designs, especially this design in its shiny form?

Also I think all Pokemon designs are fine, especially Voltorb even thought it is a little basic.

I just don't like his designs, I feel very strongly about it too. I also really hate Mega Pokemon and think nearly all of them are overdesigned messes.
But what about floof bird?

I already admit Sony is the market leader, when it comes to home consoles, for now. Regardless, Sony being a market leader doesn't really matter that much in my opinion since it's not really a "news", I don't really care too much how much Sony sells PS4, and yeah having a minor decline isn't that bad but it is something that they should be noticing, not to mention when they have many great games last year. I just don't see why this article heavily focus on praising Sony and just gloss over Nintendo's financial report... when their financial report is just as good as always.

If you really want to defend that article's points, bring up some legit points rather than just calling others a fanboy.

Meanwhile, I live for them.

Probably why I'm bigger into Digimon right now.

There are two things I like that Gen 5 did, that I wish Gen 6 and 7 had done.
  • Adding lots and lots of Pokemon.
  • Having a good balance of single and dual types; it was about half and half.

I had Blue Rescue Team as a kid and that was my team as well. Should've probably went with a grass type for better coverage, though, like I did in Explorers of Time (Torchic and Treecko) a few years later. But I don't think type coverage really mattered much anyways.

Well you could always give me ideas and then I could morph them into something you don’t know.

I thought that once.


Then Bruxish happened.
I don’t like Bruxish, but I don’t hate it. I’m just opinionless towards it. But it’s definitely my least favourite.

I do not mind Bruxish, it is just those lips are a bit weird.

Gen 7 was better with these than Gen 6.
GEN 6 WAS WAY TOO EASY, but I still liked Gen 6.

"Selling the most consoles doesn't make Sony the market leader, Sonydrone."
"Actually yes it does."
"Well being the market leader doesn't matter."

Way to move the goalposts, man. You're not arguing in good faith.
