Actually. Nageki and Dageki are suppose to represent Judo and Karate, respectivly.
Indeed - I believe the identification for them in the dex literally translates to the Karate/Judo Pokemon as well. Their general sprite stances fits that too, as do their movesets - judo focus on grappling and take downs/throws - Nageki gets moves like Bind, Vital Throw and Overhead Throw, while karate does not - more about fighting on one's feet and using hand/leg attacks rather than grabbing, hence Dageki getting moves like Rock Smash, Brick Break, Ankle Sweep, and the obvious Karate Chop.

Certainly there's more to them than what meets the eye at first glance.

Hitmonlee: Taekwan-do
Hitmonchan: Boxing
Hitmontop: capoeira
Nageki: Judo
Dageki: Karate

I've done both Judo and Taekwan-do.
but I vote for the hitmons, not because of Lee or Chan, but because of Top and their pre-evo Tyrogue.
There used to be a link to an Imageshack picture here. Lmao.

Hitmon duo are better. even Hitmonlee alone is far better than those two. Ki's look somewhat retarded to me. Not even Pokemon.

And they look less "fighting" than the hitmons.

They do have an overly humanoid appearance. Though I suppose that makes sense since they are suppose to be judo and karate masters. I guess it's also that fact that their "clothing" looks so real. Real as in they could take it off and on while it should really be a part of their body. Even Jynx doesn't appear to be as human like to me as these two do.

Honestly, I don't really like either group. But, since I feel sorry for Nageki and Dageki with how they are being treated, and I fail to see anything wrong with them, I voted for them.

Plus, I like the whole Red Oni, Blue Oni thing they seem to have going on, and I've never once found the Hitmons to be even remotely interesting to me, except for Hitmontop.

I like the looks of the Hitmon trio better. They're vaguely humanoid, but still distinct enough to clearly be Pokemon and not just slightly altered humans. Plus I love Hitmonchan's type variety. Fire/Ice/Thunder Punch make a great combo, and the Physical/Special split means Hitmonchan finally gets the strength to use them well.

I'm going to go with the classics here. The Hitmon-Pokes for me. At least they don't look like colored rocks.

Original is original!
The Hitmon's are better designed and are definetly my favorits in this case!

Gwah? You forgot the awesomeness that is HITMONTOP! Yeah, it's the oddball of the "trio", but it's still a legitimate Hitmon!



hitmonchan for me...bcause she can learn thunder,fire,ice,drain punch.....:)

LOL...I'm all for red vs. blue in Pokemon :D, but you gotta have other stuff to distinguish the rocks...er..the Kis. Hmm... a Rock/Fighting Pokemon would be cool, though...

Yikes...I feel bad for judging a book by its cover... :( I'm liking the parallel this new Gen V Fighting-type Duo evokes... Still, their designs could've used work...

Based on designs alone, the chans are far superior. Plus, it's the Pokemon version of Bruce Lee and Jakie Chan! How could you vote against that?
This. Yeah, the Hitmons win it for me. Respectively, I love Hitmonchan's boxing motif and Hitmonlee's design the most, but a lot of minor touches just make them have an edge against the kis, IMO. They rely more than simple color changes and size alternations to distinguish themselves...

I like the Hitmons better, Nageki and Dageki look like Bert and Ernie
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought this. In regards to the poll, I voted Hitmons because they're awesome. The others....frankly, I hate. Hitmonlee and Hitmontop are amazing. Not so big on Chan though.
