Thanks for posting!! Points updated! :)
|
I regret to inform you all that I am leaving all of Pokecommunity for good.... If one of you wants to take over as the OP of my Fighting type club, you have my permission.... I don't feel a need to be using PC anymore and on the topic of Pokemon Clubs the OP always messes up for me anyway, and I just don't have the time to use Pokecommunity... So, it is with great regret, that I resign as the founder of this here Fighting type club. I wish everyone who helped me have it be active the best of luck, Thank you for your support. :)

Oh no! That's sad to hear ;-; I hope someone picks up the club at least >~< You'll be severely missed :C

Ownership has been transferred to Sun .

Hmm... I've been to busy, so I couldn't decorate our main thread. But bear with me, I'll make it look good along Rock-type Club's, which is my top priority (vs our own club)
In the mean time here's a topic for us: Do we need a FIghting-type legendary in the future generations? Why? If so, what animal/object should it be based on? What's the story behind it? |
I was invited by Sun to join. So hi everyone, I am a huge fan of the fighting types of Pokemon and it is my favorite type of Pokemon. Fighting types became my favorite due to that they always really have helped me in each of my playthroughs, and I've also really liked their designs a lot. My favorite fighting type moves are Aura Sphere, Flying Press, Sky Uppercut, High Jump Kick, Close Combat, and Counter. My obvious favorite fighting type is Pancham, as well as it's evolution, Pangoro, but some of my other favorites include Lucario, Blaziken, Infernape, Hawlucha, Hitmonlee, Machoke and Chesnaught.
Do we need a FIghting-type legendary in the future generations? Why? If so, what animal/object should it be based on? What's the story behind it? I would personally like to see more Fighting type Legendary Pokemon in the future since there is only 4.5 Fighting legendaries, mostly because all the Fighting type legendaries are from Gen 5 and with the half exception of Meloetta, I would like to see a Fighting type legendary that isn't part of a group. I can't think of a story behind, or what animal or object it should be based after. EDIT: I forgot to add in my partner Pokemon, or in this case Pokemon team. I'll start with just Pancham. |

Have you used a Fighting-type Pokemon from your very first Pokemon playthrough? If so which Pokemon was that and what game was that? Actually you will need me to prompt you for a partner Pokemon (in order to begin and carry a convo), but definitely zero harm has been done! {XD} I believe it's only you and I are active for the time being, but without any further ado we shall begin our first event ever! :D Our first ever event is called the Pokemon CLASH. Check the grand thread (aka main thread/first post) for details about CLASH, trust me it's not difficult and it's just a piece of cake! |

First I'm not going to count my playthroughs Red/Blue, Ruby, or Sapphire, because I never did properly play them. So on my first real playthrough, which was on White 2, I did use a fighting type, I actually ended up using 4, but 3 of them I used all the way up to the end of the game. The first one was a Riolu which later evolved into a Lucario. I always liked the design of Lucario since I first saw it in the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew movie, that I decided to spend the time at the beginning of White 2 capture a Riolu at Floccesy Ranch, and he ended up becoming one of my main helpers for the majority of the game, and it really made me love Lucario. The other 2 were Verizion and Terrakion, the Terrakion was my main helper during the fight against Iris as the Champion. The other Fighting type I used during that playthrough was Cobalion, but I replaced not long after I got Verizion. Ah okay. I didn't know X3, but I will keep that in mind. It is definitely fun from what I've seen and I will take part of it. :) |

Pokémon Clash #1 http://i.imgur.com/hxv2nOP.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/qDxNCzY.png?1 Pancham vs Riolu
|
1. How would you describe the personality of Pancham (as a whole specie, not certain individual kinds)? - I would describe Pancham as a species as playful and mischievous, since it is known as the Playful Pokemon and its Japanese name, Yancham, is a combination of Yancha and champion, and yancha meaning naughty. The way I see it, Pancham is mischievous in a playful way, meaning no actual harm to people and does it just for pure fun.
2. A Pancham evolves by at Level 32 if there's a Dark-type Pokemon in party, does this mean it turns bad upon evolving? Why/Why not? - Personally I'm going to say no. For two big reasons. For one, is that it retains its Fighting type. Dark is referred to Evil type in Japan, and Dark is weak to Fighting and the common interpretation is because Fighting type representing Good and Dark representing, surprise surprise, Evil. Combined I believe that it makes the Anti-Hero and it makes sense to me due to Pangoro's PokeDex entry in X and Omega Ruby, as it says "Although it possesses a violent temperament, it won’t put up with bullying. It uses the leaf in its mouth to sense the movements of its enemies.". The part that makes me believe that Pangoro isn't that bad is the part where it says "it won't put up with bullying", if Pangoro truly was bad, he would either do nothing against bullying or instigate bullying. Granted it is a violent Pokemon, but at least it shows that it is not entirely bad. 3. In which aspect Pancham is better than Riolu? And in which part worse than Riolu? - There are a lot of things that I think make both equally as good as each other. Starting with Pancham, one of the few things that I think makes Pancham a lot better is its personality. Unlike Riolu, Pancham has a pretty defined personality. By asking the question, what is a Riolu's personality like, you can't really say. All you know is that it is fighting type that can sense people's emotions and it uses Aura to communicate, but what is its personality. I mean, yeah, you got natures, but that's not really a lot to go on. Pancham on the other hand has a pretty clear personality. It's playful, its mischievous, and it can't resist grinning if someone pets it on the head, and it tries its best to look intimidating and scary, but can't because it looks too cute. Another thing is that Pancham, is one of only two Pokemon that levels up by having a certain Pokemon in the party, and is the only Pokemon that only evolves by leveling up with a certain type rather than a specific Pokemon, and I personally love that as it gives the Pokemon a bit more of a personality of its evolution as mentioned before. Plus there is its name, with it being a combination of Panda and Champion, and as mentioned before, Yancha and Champion in its Japanese name. As for Riolu, Riolu is a bit more of an interesting Pokemon seeing that it can learn people's emotions through aura. I think Riolu has a better design to it and stands out more than Pancham. One last aspect of Riolu that I think is also really cool and makes it stand out more is that it is also the only Fighting type Pokemon that can have the Prankster ability. 5. Why does Riolu evolves into a part Steel-type, instead of a Fighting and Psychic-type Pokemon? - My only guess is because #ThePokemonLogicIsReal. Which Pokemon should win the first CLASH? Don't be shy! Tell us why! Lol - Biases aside, I am going for Pancham and for multiple reasons. First, Pancham has a base stat advantage, having 348 base stat total over Riolu's 285, and having higher attack and defense. Second, Pancham can learn a higher variety of moves. By level up, they both learn a combination of Normal, Fighting, and Dark. Riolu can learn also learn Ground, Poison, Rock, Ghost, Fire, Steel, Dragon, Ice, Electric, and Psychic moves through TMs, Breeding, and Tutoring. Pancham on the other hand can learn Ground, Poison, Rock, Ghost, Fire, Steel, Dragon, Ice, Electric, Psychic, Grass, Water, and also Flying, giving Pancham a higher type coverage than Riolu. Third is its abilities. If a Riolu and a Pancham would be put into battle, the Pancham would probably more than likely win since it has the higher base stats, and it can also have Iron Fist as an ability, giving it an attack boost to punching moves, it would surely knock a Riolu pretty fast, and pitted against other Pokemon, Pancham would still win out. Besides the type coverage and higher base stats, its abilities would guarantee it to win. Yes, Riolu can have Prankster, but Pancham can also have Scrappy or Mold Breaker, allowing it to hit Ghost Pokemon with Normal and Fighting moves, or ignore other abilities which is a bit more useful than Prankster in a lot of ways if Pancham was by itself. |

I'm so salty over this. I'm going to be crying in my sleep over this because RNG hates my guts. I say we do a rematch in the future.

Pokémon Clash #2 Timburr vs Machop
Oh and Mickey, tell me what Pokemon games do you have, so that I'll be to organize Pokemon Hunt soon. :) |
1. Are those lumber considered as Timburr's body parts? - I think of it like Jynx's dress, Kadabra's and Alakazam's spoons, Sawk's and Throh's clothes, and a Zoroark's hair bead, they just magically get one out of no where, not to mention Timburr always tosses that lumber around in his Gen 5 sprite.
2. What do you think about the design of Timburr? - I think it is adorrable (bad pun is still bad pun). Plain and simple as that X3. 3. In which aspect Timburr is better than Machop? And in which part worse than Machop? - Well Timburr imo is slightly cuter than Machop, but I do like the design of Machoke and Machamp more than Gurdurr and Conkeldurr. 4. What are those brown ridges on Machop's head? Are they some sort of secret weapon? - Maybe it's just a dull rocky helmet thing that supposed to give it some sort of protection. 5. Make a theory why the Machop line is able to use Flamethrower and Fire Blast. - Well since the Machop line do have reptilian design, I'm gonna say that were part Dragons and lost their Dragon typing. X3 Which Pokemon should win the CLASH? Don't be shy! Tell us why! Lol - This one is a bit tough for me to choose. While I personally like both of these Pokemon equally, I'm going to go for Machop since I personally find it a bit better at battling, plus it has No Guard. Quote:

I say the lumber is considered as its body part, which is similar to Sawk's karate gi and Throh's judogi. :) I have to admit, those veins were rather scary and painful to look at. Kinda wanna hold that lumber for him, not kidding. The thing that makes the Timburr line better is its access to Mach Punch and the Ability Iron Fist. While the Machop line is great on having the No Guard Ability thus having a perfect accuracy Stone Edge, Dynamic Punch and Cross Chop. Those brown ridges might be some kinda hidden weapon? Like a saucer? >:) In all seriousness though, I believe they are protective gears. To be honest, I couldn't think a theory for this question , despite the fact I'm the one who created this question! However, I have to say I like Mickey's points a lot! In ORAS, the Machop line can learn the move Dual Chop as a level up move, which eerily supports his points. While 'chop' refers to karate skill, one shouldn't forget that Dual Chop is a Dragon-type move! Vote: Timburr Spoiler: Results

Yay! I finally won something in my life and RNG doesn't totally hate me X3

Pokémon Clash #3 Gallade vs Medicham
|
I'll just post what I posted in the Psychic club ^.^
Spoiler:
|
1. Gallade can only learn one Fighting-type move, does it make it less of a Fighting-type? Should it be paired with an other type, instead of Fighting-type? Why? - I honestly don't think so for 2 reasons. The first reason is because Gallade is not the only who does this, Combusken learns 3 Fighting type moves and only 2 of which do damage and Blaziken naturally only learns 1 Fighting type move passed Combusken, the same thing goes for Monferno and Infernape except that Monferno can learn only 2 and Infernape learns only 1 of them through level up passed Monferno. Croagunk and Pignite both only learn 1 and Toxicroak and Emboar can't learn any from level up passed their pre-evos, and Chesnaught only learns 2. Why should Gallade be considered less of a fighter than them? Second is that even though Gallade only learns one fighting type move, he also learns a few other moves that seem like something that a fighter would learn, like Psycho Cut, Fury Cutter, Slash, and False Swipe. So either way, I see him as much as a fighter than any other fighting type.
2. If it's possible to have a male Gardevoir why is it impossible for a female Gallade to exist? - I got 2 theories that may make it sound logical when combined. The first is the same as reason why there isn't a male Froslass, and what Gallade and Froslass have in common is that they both evolve by a Dawn Stone, so I have a theory that Dawn Stones, so my theory for this and for all future Pokemon who may end up getting an evolution through Dawn Stone is that Dawn Stones only work on specific genders depending on the Pokemon. The second one has to do their names. Gardevoir being a combination of either garde and devoir or garder and voir, garde and devoir being French for guard and duty while garder and voir are French for keep and see, while Gallade sounds close to Galahad which is the name of one of King Arthur's knights, so it sounds logical why Gallade is male exclusive, although I do have to question why Gardevoir's Japanese name is Sirnight. 3. Why is the Gallade line not part of Human-shape while the Medicham line is? - I'm going to guess you mean Human-like egg group because they are both in the same body shape group. In that case, I don't even know how to explain it since egg groups are weird. I mean Human-like group also has Sableye, Croagunk and Toxicroak, Hawlucha, Lucario, Pancham and Pangoro. I don't know about you, but they don't look Human like, I mean for gosh sakes, Hawlucha is a hawk, Croagunk is a toad, Lucario is a jackal, and Pancham and Pangoro are pandas. I don't see anything human like about them other than they both stand on 2 legs. 4. In which aspect Medicham is better than Gallade? And in which part worse than Gallade? - Well Medicham I think Medicham has way better egg moves it can learn, but I think it is worse when it comes to abilities as I think Gallade has better abilities even as a mega. 5. If Medicham is part of a three stages family, will it be stronger than or at least on par with Gallade? Why? - Possibly because if it did get a 3rd stage, it probably would get a lot of needed stat boosts to make it just as good as Gallade. 6. If Jynx was a stereotype for a race, how come Medicham and its Mega Evolution isn't a stereotype to the eastern culture? - I have to agree with Ketsu in that yoga is popular in western culture, maybe not as much as in eastern culture, but it is really popular in western culture. Which Pokemon should win the CLASH? Cast your votes! - I'm going to vote for Gallade |

Pokémon Clash #4 http://i.imgur.com/RUngpzQ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/4KTgZrc.png Scrafty vs Pangoro
Which Pokemon should win the CLASH? Spoiler: Notifications
|
Entering!!!!
nickname: Absol!!! Starter: Tyrogue Fightint tipes they are very useful and i always lovedtheir moves, even if I don't like their speed they are a force to be reckoned and one of the most versatile pokes the fighting/dark unfortunately now have a x4 weakness against fairy but is good to counter both ghost and psychic with his side typing. What do you think about Scrafty's design? The Scrafty line is unique when compare to most of its Dark or Fighting-type peers, it is defensively tough while it has an above avarage physical attack stat. What's your thoughts on Scrafty breaking the mould? In which aspect Scrafty is better than Pangoro? And in which part worse than Pangoro? Why does Pancham evolves into a Pangoro with a Dark-type Pokemon in the party? Why not just simply evolves when it reached the level of 32? What makes Pangoro a Dark-type Pokemon except the obvious black color from its body? Pangoro's Pokedex entry says, 'It uses the leaf in its mouth to sense the movements of its enemies.' Make theory how does it sense the opponents' movements through the leaf. It has a bad desing I wish it was more orignal, it felt like a mohican scraggy Scrafty has betteer defenses but Pangoro have a decent Special Attack an a better atack so i'll go with Pangoro Maybe because it feels better having your pokemon evolving in a different way I loved the challenge that was evolving Feebas Maybe its leaf comes from some sacred tree or another thing that helps it sensing enemies. above Pangoro wins with better stats distribution and design |
What do you think about Scrafty's design? It's a unique type, just hopefully it doesn't become an overused typing like the Psychic/Fighting.Upon seeing it, it reminded me of an urban genre musician and I actually like it. (: The Scrafty line is unique when compare to most of its Dark or Fighting-type peers, it is defensively tough while it has an above avarage physical attack stat. What's your thoughts on Scrafty breaking the mould? It is a great thing. Diversity, uniqueness and changes are always good! In which aspect Scrafty is better than Pangoro? And in which part worse than Pangoro? I love Scrafty's coloration, it is unique for a Fighting and or Dark-type Pokemon. While design wise, I like Pangoro's more. So Scrafty's color is better imo, while Pangoro has a better design. Why does Pancham evolves into a Pangoro with a Dark-type Pokemon in the party? Why not just simply evolves when it reached the level of 32? What makes Pangoro a Dark-type Pokemon except the obvious black color from its body? Good Pokemon gone astray is what I wanna say, but no. Despite the grumpy temper of Pangoro, it is still a kind Pokemon in nature, according to one of its Pokedex entry. Honestly, I think it's the coloration and its temper that makes it a Dark-type. Pangoro's Pokedex entry says, 'It uses the leaf in its mouth to sense the movements of its enemies.' Make theory how does it sense the opponents' movements through the leaf. I say it detects the movement through its leaf, like the ripple thing from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? What's your thoughts behind the Dark/Fighting dual typing? I vote for Scrafty. Quote:
|
1. What do you think about Scrafty's design? - I do think that Scrafty's design is pretty cool. In terms of all the Gen 5 Pokemon, it's not my favorite in design, nor is it my favorite design when it comes to other Fighting types, but I do think that it is pretty cool.
2. The Scrafty line is unique when compare to most of its Dark or Fighting-type peers, it is defensively tough while it has an above avarage physical attack stat. What's your thoughts on Scrafty breaking the mould? - Well I don't know what mould is so I can't say anything. But in terms of a Pokemon that breaks the mold with it being more defensive, I think that it helps Scrafty benefit from it since he is primarily weak to physical attacks from other Fighting types and Flying attacks, and with the introduction to Fairy and Scrafty being 4x weak to Fairy, it is good that he is specially defensive for them. 3. In which aspect Scrafty is better than Pangoro? And in which part worse than Pangoro? - Well as mentioned before it has better defenses than Pangoro, both physically and specially which does benefit it when it comes to surviving attacks. Where I think Pangoro does better is in 2 areas. First is its design, and I will admit, this is my own bias speaking. Second, is that with the combination of moves and stats, Pangoro is more of a heavy hitter than Scrafty. 4. Why does Pancham evolves into a Pangoro with a Dark-type Pokemon in the party? Why not just simply evolves when it reached the level of 32? What makes Pangoro a Dark-type Pokemon except the obvious black color from its body? - It's pretty much like a transition and bad influence. Since Dark type is referred to as Evil type in Japan, it's pretty much going from a cute Playful Pancham who can't be taken seriously because it's too cute and is not that intimidating and it's getting a bad influence from the Dark type and becoming more intimidating and violent. I can't think of a reason what makes Pangoro a Dark type other than that it has a violent temperament. 5. Pangoro's Pokedex entry says, 'It uses the leaf in its mouth to sense the movements of its enemies.' Make theory how does it sense the opponents' movements through the leaf. I would have to say that it has to be that with the leaf is that the slightest movement from enemy moves that causes some sort of wind disturbance, and Pangoro sense it. I honestly don't know X3. 6. What's your thoughts behind the Dark/Fighting dual typing? Well since Fighting and Dark are two favorite types, it is easy for me to say that a Fighting/Dark type is easily one of my favorite type combinations. Which Pokemon should win the CLASH? - Pangoro, easily |
