I'm always a sucker for Pokemon which they put a lot of thought into their physiology. Biology student instincts. It reminds me of a plant I once had to study that could spontaneously catch fire, due to being covered with a flammable oil. Apparently the biblical Burning Bush was based off it. Yes, that's the one that slipped my mind. Popplio just looks like a recolored Seel, with different eyes and snout.

Well actually, clowns weren't always meant for kids, this is a more modern take on it. Decades ago in the past, clowns were a bit more darker and less child friendly. The first ever clown was a comedian who was very depressed in real life. It's that whole idea of clowns having so many human features, yet are still distinctively different, that make them so creepy. Plus the painted smiles make it hard to know what is actually hiding under there, something friendly or something sinister? The various horror films based on clowns also don't help.

I remember we talked about that a while back. I like Dragon Ball as well, it was the one I started off with actually. Well here's the thing, I liked the characters and the way the characters were handled in DB better, but the DBZ storyline itself was more engaging. Ideally I would have wished for all the Dragon Ball aged characters being faced with similar threats in Z. Which is why I especially liked the King Piccolo Saga, had all the characters with DB personalities, but had the Z feel to it. I 100% agree with the treatment of characters. That was my biggest issue that every human character (all of who once equaled Goku in strength) got turned into weak bugs to be squashed by the current antagonist. Tien was about the only human who wasn't completely useless in battle, with his Tri-Beam that did something for a while. Piccolo lasted longer than the others and kept up with the Saiyans for a while, but by Buu Saga even he got left behind. Lol, it's actually happened to Gohan as well. He's basically now become the Saiyan Yamcha. Ever since the Buu Saga he just kept getting weaker and weaker, until in Super he's retired from fighting. Vegeta's development was very gradual. He starts improving a bit in the Cell Saga where starts learning to swallow his pride, the first time he showed compassion to Trunks (he tried to get revenge on Cell after Trunks got killed), and he admitted Kakarot and Gohan were better than him. But Buu Saga is where it really showed his transformation, to the point where he stops being an antihero and becomes a true hero.

I'd advise you to skip over the film remake Sagas. Watch the films Battle of Gods and Revival of 'F'", but not the retellings in Super, and go straight to the Champa/Universe 6 Saga. They're just drag out tediously long and are full of annoying fillers. Super does add a bit of depth to Beerus, but tbh it's not really worth it. Early Super was very problematic. For a while they basically ended up ignoring every character who wasn't Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, or Whis. Revival of 'F''' gave the non-Saiyan Z-fighters some time to shine again, where the humans, Piccolo, and Gohan hold off Frieza's army. They just ended a very boring arc called the Universe 6 Saga, but since then Super's quality has gone up a bit. The upcoming episode has Future Trunks returning, which is very exciting for everyone. He's always been a fan-favorite character.

Ah I see, I think I've seen quite a few similar places on the internet. Actually it's a bit lighter compared to YT commenters, which are just deeply savage. Fully with you there, I absolutely hate Diggersby. It looks like one of those obnoxious truckers who have too much booze. I thought Gardevior's female design was obvious even before the Mega. As to why. Simple. Fanservice. Female creatures need to look cute in order for it to sell. Jynx has shown the consequences of not doing so. Not all males fortunately, but definitely the creepier ones tend to be male.

Well it depends on the HM. If it's something like Fly or Surf, I might not have a "slave" for it, but a Pokemon I still frequently use but not a top tier with moves I can't afford to lose. But I never used Waterfall other than for getting past waterfalls. Awww, that's sweet. I liked Krabby/Kinglers Guillotine move, even though I rarely used it. Sometimes however I can't afford HM slaves, say if I'm going into a cave with high level Pokemon and need Flash. I just put Flash on my Espeon and had it replace Sand Attack. Not to mention it learns all these Dragon type moves. Plus, the concept behind the creature is supposed to be a dragon to begin with. The legend of a carp that swims upstream and turns into a dragon (hence Magikarp -> Gyarados).

Sandslash isn't overpowered, but still quite useful and a very loved ground type (my favorite for a while), so would be a great candidate for a mega. The Misdreavus line has these amazing moves like Pain Split and Perish Song. I never really used Dunsparce, but I am somewhat interested in it due to it being based off a Tsuchinoko (a legendary Japanese cryptid). It's actually Inky that I like, but they never give Megas to first evolved forms so it has to be Malamar. Flygon was supposed to have a Mega, but it got scratched, apparently due to the designer having writer's/artist's block. Other Megas I forgot to mention, Mega Ninetales and Mega Rapidash.

No problem. Lol, I'm used to it. You should see some of my old conversations with Fire Eater. We could be having three different conversation topics in a single thread. I'll pitch in from time-to-time, it's a big project.
