I chose Hitmonchan because it has shiny red gloves, clothes, Dutch clogs, and a belt.

What does Hitmonlee have? Nothing except crazy looking eyes, legs that look like the bark off palm trees, and a yellow ball on its ankle. Obviously during a fighting contest, Hitmonchan won against Hitmonlee and took everything he owned, right down to the clothes on his back. Hitmonlee then had to resort to mind-numbing slavery to pay off his debts, which explains the crazy eyes and the yellow ball on his ankle. I don't know what happened to his legs, though, and I'd prefer not to.

Hitmonlee all the way, I like that he's so simplistic cept he has these crazy eyes and legs which makes it very balanced, because simplicity is key in Pokémon designs imo. Also he's just better overall, Hitmonchan is weird.

Hahaha this is amazing.

But yeah Hitmonchan for me. Hitmonlee just doesn't look appealing in the least. Hitmonchan looks like a fighter, Hitmonlee looks like...a thumb with limbs.

Actually, I'd rather have Hitmontop but I digress
Anyways, I'd rather have Hitmonchan, because although he looks ridiculous with that pink skirt and I like the concept of kicking better, he is better gamewise

It used to be Hitmonchan but I currently favour Hitmonlee.

Hitmonlee because it doesn't look as weird and has higher attack power.

Though Hitmonchan has become infinitely more useful since the 4th gen physical/special split. But it still looks weird... short skirts and boxing gloves do not mix...

Hitmonlee. I don't really know why, but I've always prefered it, since I was younger. Maybe because I think that kicks are more painful than punches :pink_tongue:
But I love Hitmonchan too. Besides I've always wondered if its gloves were a part of its body, or if it has hands inside them...

I voted for Hitmonlee because I have always preferred kicking over punching like Drakow. I also like Hi-Jump Kick, even though when I last tried to do it, I missed and crashed.

I always preferred Hitmonchan's moveset just because of all the elemental punches. Design-wise though Hitmontop is the more interesting for myself.

Alright, well you guys obviously didn't understand exactly who would win in a bout between Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, so I depicted an actual fight using my magnificent artistic skills.

Here's what happened. It all ended so fast, with a simple Mach Punch to the upper stomach.

Poor Hitmonlee didn't have a chance. At least this time he played it smart and bet on his contender winning instead of himself. Now he won't have to take up a weekend midnight shift at the poop farms to repay his debts.

I always liked Hitmonchan more.
Design-wise and also moveset-wise becuase elemental punches are really awesome moves.
I never actually used anyone beside using Hitmonlee briefly in XD thanks to his Shadow Half.
