Obama used Hope! It's super effective!

[–]FlavorousShawty 47 points48 points ago

Obama used one term of presidency, but nothing happened.

[–]CptMad 8 points9 points ago

Romney used binders of women, it was amusing!

[–]Reesch 6 points7 points ago

it was blown out of proportion!*

[–]ueptvoovtpeu -1 points0 points ago

I bet those women didn't really mind.. and probably make A LOT more than you do.

But the joke in this isn't political. It can be appreciated by anyone who knows about Pokemon.

[–]Psypss 3 points4 points ago

I wish i had more down votes to give reposts.

Mitt used payday, on himself!

REPOST MY NIGGAS

[–]jigglesv 2 points3 points ago

Monocolor tournament. Best 2 of 3. I'm normally a fan of best of 1 tournaments but, Pokemon has the hacks factor added in. Republican: Red Democrat: Blue. Salamence counts as both. Also, all tiers, no ubers, restricted to color (Monocolor).

Romney's likely team: Scizor Rotom (Any form) Scrafty Porgygon2/Z Throh Salamence

Probably not the best team but, I just threw this together from Bulbapedia's Red Colored Pokemon list.

Obama's Team: Vaporeon Hydreigon Metagross/Lucario Heracross Azelf Gyarados/Swampert/Tangrowth/Swellow/Kingdra/Salamence

Obama has a lot more options than Romney and a statistical advantage being that most red Pokemon are fire type and most Blue are water. Movesets can change the game for both parties but, I think Obama would win unless Romney goes over the 510 total EV limit.

Mediated through Reddit: "Romney uses....RACIST!!!! He hates [most topical demographic at the moment]. Obama wins. Thanks, Reddit.

Obama being kind of a nerd would win this

Romney only has Beedrill cause he's a WASP

[–]captaintimewaste 0 points1 point ago

old news ehhhh>????

[–]Randyflag 0 points1 point ago

Romney wins. I mean, have you actually even seen a black guy with pokemon? And Brock is pacific islander, not black.

[–]doenr 0 points1 point ago

It... rhymes!

[–]MadMustard 0 points1 point ago

So, I guess Romney starts with Pokemon White and Obama with Pokemon Black, right?

[–]issicus 0 points1 point ago

I believe Mortal Combat is more suited to this debate.

[–]Self-CookingBacon 0 points1 point ago

Obama sends out Obamasnow!

[–]arghnard 0 points1 point ago

While watching the Democratic convention, I saw a tweet on the bottom of the screen stating that they just got out of Cosco and that their lives were saved by microwave pot stickers and how Costco is so awesome. Absolutely NOTHING to do with politics. Made me giggle.

[–]elainey 0 points1 point ago

That is the height of silliness.

[–]anonymau5 0 points1 point ago

[–]Shinpachi -2 points-1 points ago

I don't think Romney's religion lets him play Pokemon, just like how he can't read/watch Harry Potter.
