As your custom title says, 'And we can't stop, and we won't stop,' so you shouldn't!
I would like you to host the next Clash and so you will learn about the CSS, which is relatively easy since you know how the basic BBCode works. I know you can pull it through. (:

Easily, Mienfoo is one of my most favorite Fighting-type Pokémon. While the specie lacks the bulk of the Machop and the Timburr lines, I love the fact that it hits hard and it is quite fast!

Why do you think a kickboxer design was chosen for Hitmonlee and a boxer design for Hitmonchan?
Why is that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are both male exclusive Pokemon?
In which aspect is Hitmonlee better than Hitmonchan? And in which part worse than Hitmonchan?
Hitmonlee can have the ability Limber, which prevents paralysis, and Hitmonchan can have Inner Focus, which prevents it from being flinched . Why do you think these 2 abilities were chosen for these two Pokemon and do you think they fit for their perspective Pokemon?
In most of its Pokedex entries, it is often stated that Hitmonchan gets tired and rests after 3 minutes of fighting. Why do you think that is? Current mode: Guess Mode
Which Pokemon should win this CLASH?
I apologize to everyone for taking so long to do this. Personal life had changed drastically for the past month, so I am very sorry about taking long. Better late than never X3.
Why do you think a kickboxer design was chosen for Hitmonlee and a boxer design for Hitmonchan?
I believe those were the global popular martial arts in the last century, that's why we have Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. In that sense, they can be seen as drawn form of 'The 90s Culture and Trends'.
Why is that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are both male exclusive Pokemon?
I would love to say because Fighting-types were seen as exclusively masculine type, but then we have the Mankey and the Machop lines. But I speculate that's because martial arts were commonly practiced and/or even admired mostly by men back in the days, whereas it contrasts our diverse culture nowadays! (:
In which aspect is Hitmonlee better than Hitmonchan? And in which part worse than Hitmonchan?
Imo, Hitmonlee has a better Ability as it can make use of it. Moveset wise is a bit tricky, Hitmonchan's access to the tri punch is surely a good thing, particularly from Gen IV games and beyond, while Hitmonlee has access to crazy stronger moves like High Jump Kick, Jump Kick, Mega Kick and so on!
Hitmonlee can have the ability Limber, which prevents paralysis, and Hitmonchan can have Inner Focus, which prevents it from being flinched . Why do you think these 2 abilities were chosen for these two Pokemon and do you think they fit for their perspective Pokemon?
Limber easily refers to Hitmonlee's body and legs, which are very self-explanatory. While Hitmonchan's Inner Focus is similar to the real life boxers, as boxers need to be extremely focused on their opponent and the match itself. Naturally it fits these two Pokemon, the usability, however, is an another topic...
In most of its Pokedex entries, it is often stated that Hitmonchan gets tired and rests after 3 minutes of fighting. Why do you think that is?
I believe it has something to do with its heartbeat rate. I wouldn't be surprised if its heartbeat rate is directly connected to its punching, in a similar way how Spoink's bouncing is connected to its heartbeat.
[Vote] Hitmonlee
[S-HIGHLIGHT]Mickey, upon seeing this, remember to simply make a post in this thread:'This is the transfer post'. (Minus the quotations)[/S-HIGHLIGHT]
I will notify Brendino about the transfer post after seeing that reply. Best of luck with taking over this club!
Why do you think a kickboxer design was chosen for Hitmonlee and a boxer design for Hitmonchan?
kicks and punches are pretty much the basic of fighting
Why is that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are both male exclusive Pokemon?
maybe because fighting is viewed as a male activity even if in judo a girl kept kicking my ass
In which aspect is Hitmonlee better than Hitmonchan? And in which part worse than Hitmonchan?
Hitmonchan learns alll of the elemental punches and also drain punch but Hitmon lee learns blaxe kick hi jump kick mega kick and a lot of other moves.

Limber makes usthink about fast guys and most of the ones who kick are fast
In most of its Pokedex entries, it is often stated that Hitmonchan gets tired and rests after 3 minutes of fighting. Why do you think that is?
It is the time of a boxing round
Oh geez! You really got me there! XD I'll simply update the first post then.
You might have seen my reply to Pancham Cutie and yes I'm here to officially say that I'm passing this club to him sooner! Hopefully you'll continue supporting this club! (:
Why do you think a kickboxer design was chosen for Hitmonlee and a boxer design for Hitmonchan? - I really like and agree with both you on this one.
Why is that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are both male exclusive Pokemon? - I'm gonna say something similar to Sun. It is really hard to say especially given the Machamp line, however I'm gonna guess that it might be that kickboxing and boxing was more seen as a male sports, while females wrestling is more common than female kickboxing and boxing. Again, that is just a guess and I could be 100% wrong on that and that they were female kickboxers and boxers around just as long as female wrestlers.
In which aspect is Hitmonlee better than Hitmonchan? And in which part worse than Hitmonchan? - I personally like the design of Hitmonlee more than Hitmonchan, it's a bit faster, and it's more attack than defense which I prefer more than defense. Hitmonchan on the other hand, since it has a higher defense, it has a better chance to survive flying, psychic, and fairy attacks.
Hitmonlee can have the ability Limber, which prevents paralysis, and Hitmonchan can have Inner Focus, which prevents it from being flinched . Why do you think these 2 abilities were chosen for these two Pokemon and do you think they fit for their perspective Pokemon? - For Limber on Hitmonlee, I think it fits because limber means flexible as an adjective and stretch as a verb, which Hitmonlee is flexible especially given that he is a kickboxer and it has been mentioned from multiple Pokedex entries that it can stretch its legs. As for Inner Focus on Hitmonchan, it would have to be that boxers have to stay focus and not flinch during matches as flinching is a big weaknesses against boxing, although that is just speculation.
In most of its Pokedex entries, it is often stated that Hitmonchan gets tired and rests after 3 minutes of fighting. Why do you think that is? - I'm gonna speculate again and say that it might because when you punch you throw more weight than you would kick. I could be really mistaken on this one as I really don't know.
Sorry for taking a while to do these and get the results. I was gonna post the results on Thursday, but my internet went out on Thursday and stayed out until sometime on Friday. So I do apologize to both you.
Hitmonlee is the winner

Chip Alterations:[/S-HIGHLIGHT]
Sun has earned 150 Chips for winning the clash
Pancham Cutie has earned 150 Chips for winning the clash
Note to Sun: Just wondering, if you would like for me to use the other random number generator next time that you used in some of the other clashes, and if I was supposed to strike through the motto for the one I used since I noticed it in some of the ones you've done.
I will be working on getting the next clash ready. I already got the next Pokemon chosen and it will be up by this weekend at the earliest or early next week at the latest.

Oh, I didn't know and expect you to carry over the Chips system. :o Lemme know if you need the previous Chip progress, it has been retained. (: I don't mind doing a synchronized Chip system with your club as well, but like always we need to be black-and-white clear, so that there won't be misunderstandings and such.
As for the choice of random number generators and name striking, they are completely your decision! Don't live under my shadow, haha. You can make the best decision, I know you are the perfect owner for this club! ;) I'm just a simple member of this club! (:
Kaneki and I will participate the next Clash, we look forward to it! Best of luck! (:
What do you think of Blaziken's mega evolution, and do you think Infernape should get a mega evolution in the future?
In the Pokedex entries, it is mentioned a lot that when Blaziken fights a tough foe, flame emits from its wrists and grow in intensity the tougher the opponent. Why do you think Blaziken would have flames on its wrists when fighting a tough foe and do you think it symbolizes something?
In which aspect is Blaziken better than Infernape? And in which part worse than Infernape?
Do you think that Infernape is based off of Sun Wukong?
Infernape is unique when it comes to fighting type Pokemon, as it is the only Fighting type Pokemon to naturally learn Acrobatics. Why do you think that is? Current mode: Guess Mode
Wow that background really is hot, loving it! What do you think of Blaziken's mega evolution, and do you think Infernape should get a mega evolution in the future?
A Speed Boost Blaziken is already strong enough! If I recall correctly, Blaziken belongs to the Uber tier in Gen V, due to the said Ability. As for a Mega Infernape, it's always a welcome addition as long as it improves Infernape. In the Pokedex entries, it is mentioned a lot that when Blaziken fights a tough foe, flame emits from its wrists and grow in intensity the tougher the opponent. Why do you think Blaziken would have flames on its wrists when fighting a tough foe and do you think it symbolizes something?
While I'm not sure what's the flame wrists for, I suspect it's because of its Blaze Abililty? Which is a standard Ability for a normal Blaziken. Or an another possibility it's a scare tactic, similar to the real life moths with bold and big eye patterns on their wings. In which aspect is Blaziken better than Infernape? And in which part worse than Infernape?
At one time, Infernape was preferred for its higher Speed. That doesn't mean Blaziken was completely an inferior to Infernape; Blaziken actually hits harder, both Physical and Special. Additionally Blaziken is also able to act as a Baton Passer, according to what I studied about Blaziken back then. Nowadays, Blaziken has a great Hidden Ability and even a Mega Evolution. Do you think that Infernape is based off of Sun Wukong?
It is, at least in my opinion. The design is very very similar to Sun Wukong's depiction from Journey to The West. Fun fact: Emboar is also based on a character from the said fiction as well. Infernape is unique when it comes to fighting type Pokemon, as it is the only Fighting type Pokemon to naturally learn Acrobatics. Why do you think that is?
It is most likely based on the agile movements of apes, which is fitting. Being able to learn Acrobatics as one of the few Fire and Fighting types really sets it apart and gives it an advantage. (:
Vote: Blaziken
Btw the questions are really great and well thought. I can see the efforts behind it! I'm speaking as a member, hahaha!
I really don't mind either way. (: But if we're going to share the database for the Chip amounts, we need a clear instruction on that. Because our clubs isn't only about us two!
Consider...
How are we going to arrange the points of those members who happened to be part of our clubs?
Is it a different progress for our clubs or a synchronized one?
If it's a different progress for each clubs, do we have to start counting from the beginning or not?
What do you think of Blaziken's mega evolution, and do you think Infernape should get a mega evolution in the future?
Yes it would be really good if he do not get banned to ubers but at the same time don´t be weak. In the Pokedex entries, it is mentioned a lot that when Blaziken fights a tough foe, flame emits from its wrists and grow in intensity the tougher the opponent. Why do you think Blaziken would have flames on its wrists when fighting a tough foe and do you think it symbolizes something?
Well the bokedex also says a lot about fiery punches so I think that with stronger foes they heat their wrists so when he punches it burn the enemies. In which aspect is Blaziken better than Infernape? And in which part worse than Infernape?
Well Infernape is faster but Blaziken can learn substitute to never get ohkoed and get a speed boost, also he mega evolves. Do you think that Infernape is based off of Sun Wukong?
Is possible(also for one moment I tought you were talking about Smite). Infernape is unique when it comes to fighting type Pokemon, as it is the only Fighting type Pokemon to naturally learn Acrobatics. Why do you think that is?
Well a lot of pokemons who can lear acrobatics via tm also learn bounce by move tutor makingme believe that there is no need to fly to use it so since Infernape seems pretty agile it seems like he could learn it.
Winner: Blaziken
What do you think of Blaziken's mega evolution, and do you think Infernape should get a mega evolution in the future? - Honestly I love Blaziken's Mega Evolution. I used it for most of my time through Omega Ruby, I unfortunately didn't have X or Y during the time the event Torchic was being given out so I couldn't use it then, but I just loved it's Mega. I loved the design of it and the stat boosts that it gains when it mega evolves, plus I think the Speedboost ability on its mega makes it an absolute monster. And honestly, I would personally love to see Infernape get a mega evolution.
In the Pokedex entries, it is mentioned a lot that when Blaziken fights a tough foe, flame emits from its wrists and grow in intensity the tougher the opponent. Why do you think Blaziken would have flames on its wrists when fighting a tough foe and do you think it symbolizes something? - For the flames on the wrists, I mostly see it as a way to show courage as though the stronger the foe, the more courage Blaziken has to even fight the foe.
In which aspect is Blaziken better than Infernape? And in which part worse than Infernape? - When it comes to Blaziken, I honestly love its abilities more as I think that Speed Boost is a much helpful ability than Iron Fist, plus it is offensively stronger than Infernape and I love the moves it learns more than Infernapes especially since Blaziken can learn Brave Bird. Also why it is a small thing, I personally like Blaziken's pre-evolutions more, especially when it comes down to Combusken and Monferno, as I really am not a fan of Monferno, but I do love Combusken. As for Infernape, it is tad bit more defensive with only a single stat in both its defenses more than Blaziken, but base wise it is faster than Blaziken and it can learn Calm Mind naturally.
Do you think that Infernape is based off of Sun Wukong? - Without a doubt, I would say yes as it shares multiple similarities to Sun Wukong.
Infernape is unique when it comes to fighting type Pokemon, as it is the only Fighting type Pokemon to naturally learn Acrobatics. Why do you think that is? - I will have to agree on Sun on this. It's the same as to why Blaziken is also the only fighting type that can learn Brave Bird naturally, it is due to their design. Apes are known to be acrobatic, so it would make a lot of sense for Infernape to learn acrobatics naturally.
Vote: Blaziken
It's seems like we all think Blaziken should be the winner X3. Here are the results
Spoiler:
Blaziken won the clash! Sun, Kaneki!!!, and Pancham Cutie are the winners!
I am sorry for taking so long with this clash again, but I think it was for the better that this clash went on longer than it should have due to the Lunar New Year. The next clash will definitely end the week exactly after it is posted, which keep an eye out for it as it will be posted soon.
Also as of right now, I am still planning out something to replace the chips so for right now no chips have been given out, however very soon for this clash, the next clash, and all future clashes there will be a reward for people who win a clash.
One last thing and this is for Sun, after the next Clash goes up, you don't mind if you can chat with me and help me come up with a new reward system?

Given its design and being based off Journey to the West, can you see Emboar as the Unova counterpart of Infernape?
Emboar holds the clear distinction of being the only Fighting type Pokemon to learn Smog. Why do you think that is?
In which aspect is Emboar better than Chesnaught? And in which part worse than Chesnaught?
As it's the first fully evolved Fighting starter Pokemon who isn't a Fire type, do you think it was a nice change of pace and how do you think Chesnaught is as the first non-Fire/Fighting starter Pokemon?
As the Spiny Armor Pokemon and being mentioned in the Pokedex that it protects allies and being able to defend itself against a bomb blast, do you think Chesnaught does a good job on being a defensive Fighting type Pokemon? Current mode: Guess Mode
Which Pokemon should win this CLASH?
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - Starting with this clash, I will be implementing a few new things for this club including the new reward system. The past 2 clashes will be counted in this new reward system and all wins from those will carry over. How it will work is that if you win a clash, you get a point and these points can be spent at the club shop for items. These items will help with the new thing I will be implementing called "Fight For Power" where club members will compete for power in the club. I will give full details over these in a future post, but what I can say is that there will be a lot more stuff to be able to do in the club, allow for some competitiveness in the club, as well as bring in some club rewards. Keep an eye out in the future for the details of how it will all work. I'm hoping that by time this clash is done, I will have all of it figured out and implemented into this club. I hope that everyone part of this club will like and enjoy what I have came up with.
Given its design and being based off Journey to the West, can you see Emboar as the Unova counterpart of Infernape?
Rather than calling it a counterpart, I see them as partners! We are still missing 2 more, then we can make a JtTW themed party!
Emboar holds the clear distinction of being the only Fighting type Pokemon to learn Smog. Why do you think that is?
In a sense it is unique, but Sludge Bomb or even Clear Smog would be more usable than Smog! -cough, cough- Pardon my cough, the smog is too much!
In which aspect is Emboar better than Chesnaught? And in which part worse than Chesnaught?
Emboar learns different types of moves, which is a huge asset in-game teams.One of these days, I would like to suggest an all Emboar team run to anyone, haha. Chesnaught seems to be more defensively strong than Emboar, it as also retained the nastiness of Grass-types: Having access to Leech Seed!
As it's the first fully evolved Fighting starter Pokemon who isn't a Fire type, do you think it was a nice change of pace and how do you think Chesnaught is as the first non-Fire/Fighting starter Pokemon?
It's a fresh start of pace for sure, but Chesnaught's typing's becoming more frequent than ever. I was nice to see that type on Breloom, it was definitely unique back then. It would be great if Chesnaught set himself apart by acting as a special oriented Pokemon than a physically based one.
As the Spiny Armor Pokemon and being mentioned in the Pokedex that it protects allies and being able to defend itself against a bomb blast, do you think Chesnaught does a good job on being a defensive Fighting type Pokemon?
Let's get real here, Grass-type isn't the best when it comes to acting as a defensive type unless if you are a Ferrothorn. Fighting-type's latest addition weakness, the Fairy-type, doesn't do anything good for Chesnaught too. Having said that, it's still good when it comes to dealing non-super effective offensive moves. It would be great if its Bullet Proof Abililty blocks more moves than it currently does, that would help emphasize the defensive role as well as to promote the usability of Chesnaught!
[vote] Emboar, it learns different moves. From Grass, Fire, Water to Electric, Ground etc. It has potential to be a better Pokemon.
Mickey, those arts though... One is an official Sugimori art, while the another is a Dream World art...
Given its design and being based off Journey to the West, can you see Emboar as the Unova counterpart of Infernape? No, they just don't match their designs are two diferent
Emboar holds the clear distinction of being the only Fighting type Pokemon to learn Smog. Why do you think that is?
Because he farts smog
In which aspect is Emboar better than Chesnaught? And in which part worse than Chesnaught?
Maybe the typings is better for emboar weakness×4 to fairy is pretty bad.

Yes of course new things are always welcome

No, because frase and fighting are terrible defensively

Emboar because he was my first starter.
