whew, that's good, Leon's the best man for the job, now if only he could rig it so that Zell gets over.
So HaR about our interpromotional rallying.

So, let me just ask this: why is there a debate about whether Squrtle or Blastoise is more popular? This is surprisingly unclear to me despite our arguing and playing through Fire Red. Where are the pros and cons for each of them?

i don't think there is a debate

Squirtle has always > Blastoise in popularity

Brawl can pretty much confirm that imo

Squirtle love should be because he had massive appeal as one of Ash's pokemon, Blastoise got billed as the Zard's rival with the whole pokemon Red/Blue thing.

Squirtle has the anime, that should pretty much remove any doubt.

All Brawl confirms is Charizard > Blastoise and no one like Wartortle, since they went with one of each evolutionary step.

I don't buy Ivysaur on a par with Bulbasaur though, Brawl be damned, I mean it's not Jiggly's managed to become popular from it.

XD no. I was the person that thought Red would be no more than around the fodderline. I had Ocelot > Red for a reason.

Ok good, forgot about red sox for a second.

Protip: If you admit Mewtwo > Blastoise you're already almost to the point where Lloyd's closer to him than Charizard is.

You have too much faith in Lloyd.

they could have done Bulbusaur and Wartortle

Charizard was a gimme
though i would have loved either Charmander or Charmeleon

Brawl is nothing. You think Lucario is more popular then Mewtwo?

Go by the anime/game/card game. Charizard > Charmander > Squirtle > Blastoise > Bulbasaur > Charmeleon > Venusaur > Ivysaur > Wartortle

From: XxSoulxX | #060

You have too much faith in Lloyd.


Lloyd ~ 17%
Charizard ~ 35%
Mewtwo ~ 27%

Which one of these is wrong? If it's Lloyd it's not by more than one or two percent.

I don't care about numbers. Blastoise would be like the Bowser to Charizard. He'd be much, much stronger then Lloyd.

you think Blastoise would be Bowser level?

No. I said he would be Charizard's Bowser in this contest. The distance between Mario and Bowser would be almost similar to the distance between Charizard and Blastoise.

I could see Blastoise and Squirtle both being around Mewtwo's level in these things. Probably a little bit under him.

Again you think Lloyd is much stronger then what he actually is.

Well that's actually debatable depending on where you think Bowser is. I have less Bowser respect than some people though.

Yeah, but wouldn't Blastoise over-perform against Charizard? Water IS super-effective against him...

...I'm only twelve years behind on making Pokemon-jokes, yay.

Lloyd at 17% on BL isn't unreasonable. It's not my fault you don't understand just how far away Bowser is from Mario

Pokemon would probably be the best bet on avoiding Link's SFF beatdowns.
---
Demyx is better than Axel.
XxSoulxX | Posted 3/30/2010 12:33:12 PM | message detail
Again with your numbers... uggh

I know that Bowser is on a tier with high carders like Sora/Dante/MMX etc. Lloyd is fodder. There is a HUGE gap between those two tiers. Bowser is closer to Mario then he is to Lloyd easily. Hell, he's most likely closer to Mario then he is to Kratos Aurion as well.

Numbers are numbers are numbers. Would you prefer I put it this way:

Bowser beats Lloyd with about 73% probably.
Before SFF Mario beats Bowser with about 63% probably.

Big difference but not as big as you'd think. Closer to halfway than not.

Sora's dropped a lot lately though, Leon vs Sora, who ya got?

Lopen | Posted 3/30/2010 12:54:59 PM | message detail
Well, first of all Bowser's more like 2/3s of the way to Mario from Lloyd so this is kinda distracting from my original point.

Would take Charizard to get about 61% on Mewtwo pre-sff and would take Mewtwo to get around 67% on Lloyd.
If you've got Blastoise as a bit weaker than Mewtwo I wouldn't see it as much a stretch for Charizard to get 65% on him and Blastoise to get 60% on Lloyd for instance.

we're already got the five NRT-spots and Guru taking 40% of our nominations

Well, it used to be 60% before Bacon expanded it to 15 nominations, so 40% isn't that bad.

Lloyd Irving got doubled by Fox who got doubled by Snake.

I think Blastoise would be closer to Fox than he would be to Lloyd.

Well, if he's closer to Fox than he is to Lloyd, then Lloyd isn't getting 40%+.

It'd be close. Lloyd getting around 40% give or take a little is what I'd expect.

Do think Fox beats Blastoise with no incident, at least.
