Description Inpired by a conversation I had the other day.  We were discussing how the Kalos starters were being unfairly criticized so I decided to make a stamp about it.  Little Quiladen drawn inside for eating

Mini-rant incoming.

Alright, I've been all over the internet and all over the Pokemon fandom as well.  Out of all the things that annoy me, this has to be one of the most trivial things to ever moan about.  From all the comments relating to this and in terms of internet fanbases, this tells me that the Pokemon fanbase is made of some of the most insensitive, self-centered, and whiny individuals I've ever seen.

Now for those people who do try to make a respectable viewpoint and try to keep logical about it, I do deeply apologize that you have to be grouped with others like this and receive backlash from others only from making a legit complaint.  For that, I provide a small blanket to tuck you in and my sincerest apologies for all of this and having to be grouped with the same people.

But everyone else.  Alright, it's one thing to have an opinion.  But insulting the Pokemon and it's creators, throwing a fit, and insulting any individual who happens to like it.  Just, what is your problem!?  You seriously need help!

"Quiladin sucks cuz it didn't turn into a hedgehog!  What was GameFreak thinking!?  It was meant to look cool but it's fat so all is ruined, terrible design!"  ehhh, guys, GameFreak said from day one that Chespin was based off a chestnut..... chestnuts are spiky, and round, what did you expect it to look like?  And there are many Pokemon that I can argue about how creative they actually are, but of course I don't want to do that since I'll probably have multiple pages analyzing, arguing, and listing which Pokemon I felt were clever.

Then I've been hearing arguments of how Delphox was the worst Fire starter, what are most of the arguments against that claim?  It's design?!  Really?  Because it's too 'girly' or something?  That's why it's now the 'worst?'

Here's something else you don't take into consideration.  I, along with a nice amount of Pokemon fans, like my Pokemon a little chubby.  I think it makes then look cute.  People like you who moan about it just because it's not what you want make me cringe.  Yeah, you could argue of how it's 'just an opinion' but here's something you don't understand, saying things like "it sucks" or "Worst Pokemon ever" are objective statements since it's an argument of quality.  If you make such claims, people will try to call out on your bull!

I especially hate it when people try to make things up of how a Pokemon performs in battle only because they don't like it, Emboar probably being the best example of this.  I show them visual evidence, I use logic to tell them why they might be being too harsh, I tell them why on an objective viewpoint, the Pokemon is actually clever.  They just distort my words and try to make something look bad when it really isn't.

OK, I, GET, IT!  Not everyone is going to like every single Pokemon in the roster!  I, CAN, DEAL, WITH, THAT!  Some people are going to like bushy tails, some people are going to like long tails.  In fact, that's all a REALLY GOOD THING!  Why?  Because if we all thought exactly the same, our fandom would indeed be very boring.  You have every right to dislike a Pokemon.  I'm just saying don't be a complete ass while you're doing it.  Also, try to focus more about what you love about Pokemon, that's how others learn from your favorites.

End rant, use the stamp how you please, no need to ask for permission.

I agree with you I know everyone's entitled to their opinions and all that but just because something looks bad doesn't mean it is bad.

Like a certain Poketuber who I refuse to name completely shat on the new corgi Pokemon Yamper  saying it sucks because by his logic "it doesn't capture the cuteness of a real life corgi" I'm sorry but Yamper is about as "corgi" as a Pokemon can get. And here'swhat I have to say to said Poketuber .

If it's not cute enough for you then you don't have to be a whiny little bitch about it.  You are not entitled to what a Pokemon should look like so stop acting like you fucking are!

Delphox is supposed to be girly and furry. She can then be considered an affectionate hug giver.

I love quilladin and incineroar but they get so much hate just because of their designs!It makes me sad when a pokémon i love get's so much hate just because of it's design...

Some pokémon may not have the best desing but their stats are really good! For example, look at vanilluxe. It may not have the best design, but it stats are good imo and i really enjoy using it! I wish vanilluxe, delphox, emboar, ect,would get more attention. But nope, instead, people worship eevee (and it evos) or lucario just because of their designs -_-...

It angers me that so-called fans can't get past Pokémon designs without getting to know them like they'll criticize a Pokémon for standing on two legs, it's got the wrong typing or whatever petty reason they complain about. I'm sorry, are they Game Freak, because I'm pretty sure they're not in charge of deciding which Pokémon designs become real and creating one is a lot more work than they think. I don't have anything against fanart and redesigns of the official designs, but they're not as memorable as the real thing, so they have to deal with the real deal whether they like them or not. Sorry, but people like that makes me want to smack some sense into them, but whatever, we can't change their minds, but they could at least change their hearts.

Mr Mime, Garbodor, klinklang, Probopass, and many others are some of my all time favorite pokemon, and I nearly always use them in game! It's really frustrating for me every time someone feels the need they have to go on and on about how the pokemon I like are "stupid" and "Should have never been created"... While I have to put up with hundreds of thousands of lucario fan boys, charizard scalies, and gardevoir worshipers...

When ever I send my garbodor and/or klinklang against a gardevoir, I like to imagine her getting beaten and gear grinded to a bloody pulp, crying in pain, as my pokemon let out all their anger on her.

As you can tell, I REALLY hate gardevoirs!

There are 712 Pokemon; There are some that will be better than others, and some that will be worst than others, but there will be one that will be exactly what you want, and others that will be extremely close.

I hate that, too. I don't care much about the Pokemon's designs. Some of my fave Pokemon have 'ugly' designs, as quoted by ignorant fans. I love Emboar and Delphox! But everyone always hates on them! I also like Vanillite and it's evolutions, the same with Trubbish and Garbodor.

Why do people care so much about Pokemon designs over how good they are to battle with? A design doesn't affect how the Pokemon battles. A good example is Conkeldurr (one of my fave Pokemon). Most people can't be bothered to check it out because they're put off by it's 'ugly' design. I think it's design looks humorous, and it's quite useful, even if it is slow! I have always used Conkeldurr in my team (if I had the chance) ever since B&W came out, because of how awesome it is, and I am not put off by how 'ugly' it is. Anyway, Timburr's cute, and Gurdurr kicks butt!

TL;DR: Don't judge a book by it's cover. If you want to dislike a Pokemon, go ahead. Just don't be a jerk about it.

Sigh, it just comes from mayority of people behave, it just affects Pokemon.
I also was had those talks, especially from people who actually find some Pokemon wodnerful.

The most annoying things to me while reading your word here? Some people just cannot live without complaining! D:<
Or as for Delphox hate, it's because they expected and wanted Ninetales v2. Really, they hate it is bipedal and many of them are adoring braixen the same time.
Conclusion? they doesn't like the skirt turned into neat dress like robe fur?

I agree with you about Quilladin, also: it has an armour. Hedgehog would have spikes...or grass like Shaymin. Ohh let's now wonder WHAT IF Quilladin would be hedghehog.
Would people be happy? I AM SURE NOT. They would complain it's just another Shaymin.
You cannot please everyone....all right, I beg you know it

Delphox hate just makes wonder over and over, because I place it in top 10 or even 5 among ALL pokemon designs ever. The look, the concept idea, the design, the in game usage.

We all have our likes, like I don't like some Pokemon or even hate two among all, but I live it as my opinion.
I think it's because I cannot hate them "just because", I first think about what certain Pokemon is. Or why I hate it.
Many people don't even TRY to think about why they hate. Trust me, I talked with some and they dried out. and still were stubborn to tell me "but it's still stupid"
me: even 10 years old is more thoughtful than you, but I won't tell it to you, waste of keyboard

I'll give like to me that does not look like. But you can not let anything like it. I agreed to look that fits only the short stubby legs, I find this really something inappropriate and really ridiculous reasons a pokemon not to like? Since I'm just Delphox. Öhhh wäähh it looks like webilich! God damn that's a habit, not a dress

Lady-Zephyrine [2013-12-24 01:24:22 +0000 UTC]

I actually have a Delphox. Before gen VI, the only fire starter I chose was Chimchar (every other starter I chose was a grass type except for Oshawott in White 2). And personally, I was sort of debating between Chespin and Fennekin...though it did work out, once I picked Fennekin.


And personally, Delphox looks more gender-neutral (in comparison to Braixen). Delphox looks like it's wearing a robe, kind of like a mage. Plus, I got  by some of the gyms using Delphox (Like the bug, grass, and ice-type gyms). So I wouldn't say it's the worst fire-type ever (and it's nice to have a fire starter that isn't another fighting-type.)

Lady-Zephyrine In reply to Morlord [2014-06-10 16:55:40 +0000 UTC]

I'm really not too sure why Delphox would have hate for looking "girly".

Besides, I believe some "girly" Pokemon can be badass, no matter what gender (like Gardevoir, for example)

Amen, my friend. I agree with you completely.
I must admit myself that there are indeed Pokémon I don't care for, but I know that there are other people that like them, so I see them as good Pokémon anyway, though I personally would not use them. It's actually pretty great to have a large variety of Pokémon to suit everyone's individual tastes. Though people that bitch and complain about the new designs tend to get on my nerves. I happen to like a lot of the new ones, especially Delphox and such.
