piranha plant is legitimately a better addition to smash than fire-fighting starter pokemon #48320
i have just been informed that incineroar, the fucking pokemon thats based on wrestlers, knows a bunch of wrestling and fighting attacks, looks like this
and is constantly seen in wrestling ring
is not fire-fighting, but fire-dark
hes dark type because hes a heel
a what
in professional wrestling a heel is a wrestler acting as the villain, being rude and underhanded
in fact incineroar is called the Heel Pokemon
badguy wrestler
think more Stone Cold or Brock Lesnar rather than John Cena
He’s meant to draw the ire of the audience
If he isn’t getting under your skin he’s doing a bad job
Dark is Evil in Japan, therefore he is a Fire Evil type.
Also you could go further into wrestling terminalogy and say that the heel usually gets the heat of the babyface and then the babyface makes a comeback.
He’s the big heel of the pokemon universe, and he’s based off of one the most popular Japanese Junior heavyweights of all time’s arch rival the Black Tiger.
this is so dumb hes still based on wrestlers
wrestling is very much not fighting tho
If you wanna go really meta, the whole pokemon community was so done with fire/fighting types, especially after getting a break in the form of Braixen, that seeing Incineroar made everybody go apeshit
And then he was revealed to be a dark type instead of fighting
He was designed to make you mad from day 1
In other words, he’s a heel in a meta sense as well.
The dark type actually is thematically an alternate fighting type and both its moves and weaknesses reflect that! “fighting dirty” is culturally thought of as its own martial arts style in Japan and myriad fictional characters are based on that!
See also: the fact that dark, rather than fighting type is used to represent being a sneaky, stealthy ninja!
True, many dark types don’t have a “fighting” feel to them, but look at major dark type moves: sucker punch, beat up, taunt, feint attack, fake tears, knock off, thief, even THROAT PUNCH. These aren’t attacks based on literal “darkness,” (which describes only two or three special-based options) but classic cliche’s of a martial artists with no honor. A brutal, undisciplined brawler who will sink to any low to win! Even their effects tend to just be mean rule-breaking stuff like stealing your opponent’s item or mixing up their stat boosts.
This is literally me going on rants about Pokémon to people I love this post

listen, im a furry but that thing is in uncanny valley territory
Hi-Def Furries
no its the same kind of uncanny valley that beast from the live action beauty and the beast or the netflix jungle book characters were. where they make it TOO human looking.
Kahjit has done nothing wrong. Kahjit is innocent to these crimes.
If you told me that in 2019 the government would have been shutdown for over 20 days because of the wall funding AND that Clemson not only won the Championship BUT the President of the United States would serve them McDonalds, Wendys. Burger King and Pizza Hut…I would not have believed you. Its straight up, like an article from theonion
Imagine winning the championship and you’re invited to the white house only to walk into the room to find cold fast food had been served. I mean COME ON
They’ve got fine china and this poor guy is struggling to pick up a piece of pizza with…tongs. THEY DIDN’T EVEN TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THE BOX
At the same time this is sad, disrespectful and trashy but like…I find it hilarious that this even happened.
EDIT: I CAN’T BREATHE THEY PUT THE PACKETS OF SAUCES IN THESE FANCY DISHES
his big brag for this one was he “paid for all the food himself” because the white house cooks are furloughed (because of him you know) but are you telling me that this dude who is supposedly a billionaire couldnt afford to pay a few chefs for the night? my dude that is fucked
Is The Onion still in business because the world is one major shitpost already. What are they gonna do? Write real news?
I enjoy that Breath of the Wild has a thermometer because it allows me to know with precision that I’m making Link walk through -17 degree farenheit weather just so if I can see if there’s anything on the top of the mountain. There was not. I also enjoy that Zelda pops into my head to tell me whenever the blood moon arrives because it shows that she can contact me, she is aware of the passage of time, and she would like to inform Link that another month has passed, should Link care to come down from the mountain and please kill Ganon at some point.
Zelda holding back Ganon by sheer willpower alone, watching as Link elsewhere in the world dies after flying off a cliff while he was trying to pop a wheelie on his magic motorcycle as he murdered mountain goats for meat he didn’t need
Heyas, I'm mullet. I don't do much with this blog when it comes to making original posts. Some info about me: my name is Paige, I'm a girl, play video games, enjoy quite a few shows,something something more generic info. I've been dancing for almost a decade so pretty decent at that. I'm also open to questions of all sorts, so ask away.
I have a DA for people who want to see my ventures in art
